How shallow are you?

Would you date someone that wasn't as good looking as yourself?
Similarly, would you try your luck with someone a lot hotter? :wink:

lol

Yes.

i look terrible so i wouldnt want to wish that on anyone
not v. shallow at all, always base things more on personality

I'd date someone slightly worse looking. If they are nice and have a good personality it can make up for it.

Of course I'd try my luck with someone better!! Probably wouldn't get very far though, I lack confidence when I'm not drunk.

when i meet people i see everyone as a potential friend, never a potential partner... and looks dont matter at all in friendship.. so in terms of looks im not at all shallow. I admit i can be when it comes to music and ethics however.

I'm not shallow, but someone not as good looking? God, no - not because I'm shallow, but what on earth would my friends say?

I don't compare men's looks to my own. :s-smilie:

I wouldn't date someone I wasn't very attracted to, both physically and mentally.

Looks do matter, I couldn't really say how good looking I am in all honesty, but I would just need to be physically attracted to them simply :smile:

(Although I'm not all shallow, I do have to be attracted to them mentally aswell)

edit: pretty much what the above post said

But would you be friends with someone who is clearly profusely ugly?
I hate to admit it, but I don't think I could =\

A little bit, but then I think everyone is to a certain extent, particularly when they've just first met.

If you get to know someone, and they're a really nice person, just not so great looking, then why not?

In the end, everyone's just going to end up wrinkly and grey anyway :biggrin:

I could/would never go out with anyone I wasn't attracted to. I don't judge people purely on what they look like and I could be and am friends with some aesthetically challenged girls, but just wouldn't go out with them (as in date, not be seen in public with them lol). On top of that I look for a really nice character.

How I'm not permanently single I'll never know :smile:

That doesn't mean you'd date someone grey and wrinkly now though, does it?! :p:

I'd happily be friends with a (very) ugly girl, but not have sex with her. Sure, sex with someone you care about is better than sex with a random, but still, it's just as much a physical act as an emotional one. As a guy, I don't see why you would want to have sex with someone just because of their personality. If personality is the most important thing then why not just be friends? Am I missing the point?

Seems to be a pretty binary thing to me: Someone either is attractive, or they aren't. Doesn't really matter how far up the scale they are?

That attraction will always be a little bit about looks yeah, but more than once I've found people get 'better looking' the more time I spend with them. Also no matter how hot you are, if you're an egotistical idiot you are a turn off!

I don't think I'm particularly shallow. I hope not anyway :smile:
