Freohr Datia Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Since I'm always so quiet, the only time I've had the experience of somebody acting like they were interested in me was a super popular kid who I had a crush on who only did it because he enjoyed how shyly I reacted... he was never the slighted bit interested in me and I was so blinded by my crush on him that I didn't even realize how he was toying with me until after I wasn't interested in him anymore... Even though I remember a particular instance where I was having lunch and after he had played with me for a bit he just went back to his table of friends and they all started laughing... I was way too gullible ;~; He ruined my trust in flirty people... gasap another big big striked out post!

Klokinator Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I hate you... The fact that this is what most people say is kind of sad... Alright, feel free to prove me wrong. Post a picture of yourself with your ridiculously ugly boy/girlfriend and show me your noble idea of what love really is. I never said personality wasn't important, but if someone doesn't have looks that I'm interested in, I'm not gonna be interested in them. I don't mind average and I can even be intimidated by someone being really attractive, but I also don't like women that I find to be unattractive, and neither would anyone else.

(that statement makes me feel old) Also I misunderstood at first I thought you meant that if a girl isn't a knockout you wouldn't date them...

Most of the time when someone says "I don't go out with ugly people" they also mean "I only go out with knockouts." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xinnidy Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Sorry, but I have no interest in having a relationship with an ugly girl. And if a girl thinks I'm ugly, she won't want a relationship with me. Say all you want about how great personality and etc is, but if I find someone to be literally ugly and/or repulsive for any reason, I'm not going to go out with them. I doubt you would either. I do agree, while it's noble to look beyong the surface, there tends to have at least a limit to how much one can't agree in physical appearance. While I believe that personalities usually make for the best relationship, the physical side can't be easily ignored, that's not how most brains work, superficial as it may sound. Thankfully, the physical appearance can be improved on in most circumstances, so an awareness or desire for a romantic relationship should drive people to improve themselves, and in other times they can find someone that is pretty ok with them. Just trying to forcefuly ignore the physical side doesn't reap a lot of happiness for yourself.

Rehab Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) people are strange, when you're a stranger, etc Can we just say that human beings in general are confusing? It's not like all men think alike and all women think alike and feel the same way. It's the humanity in us that makes us all confusing to one another, not our gender. Also, can't a person of the opposite gender be nice to you because s/he thinks you're an awesome person and that s/he wants to be your friend? Why does it always have to have something to do with a relationship? that I do agree, while it's noble to look beyong the surface, there tends to have at least a limit to how much one can't agree in physical appearance.

Shin Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I hate it when girls act that way... the fact that I'm 13 and have run across it several times is horrible... not as much as when they're attracted to me though because I've decided to avoid dating until like college or something and I'e actually had to explain that before several times. On average, guys are worse at gauging feelings than girls. What may appear as signs of attraction can actually just be playful friendliness. Of course, there are guys who can read well and girls who can't, it's just a general trend. I also agree with Boron. A relationship can co-exist with a friendship, often it's actually an extension of a friendship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xinnidy Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Do you have any particular neuroscience tidbits in mind as to why that is? Poor wording and less-than-fair generalization on my part, I am well aware there are exceptions. I won't claim any knowledge on the basis of neuroscience other than what I learned for academic purposes, I considered it a discrete enough assumption based on my experience and the experience of other people I know.

There's nothing wrong with it. People who are confident and pleasant usually love themselves enough to take care of themselves. I hate myself, so unpleasant to be around and I look ugly as sin. It's not like appearance and personality don't connect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doga Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Majestic Paladin, this kind of stuff happens in life.

A relationship can co-exist with a friendship, often it's actually an extension of a friendship. well, yes, on a general note. But some girls (and guys) can be way too friendly that it's hard to be able to tell the difference. Probably best way is if you know they have a boyfriend/girlfriend already. Majestic Paladin, this kind of stuff happens in life. Eventually you'll read someone correctly, whether through learning how to better tell when a girl is romantically interested, or just plain dumb luck. again, sometimes even if you learn how to better tell if someone is interested in you, it can STILL be hard to tell... They could be complete flirts without wanting to pursue anything. I think everyone is shallow to some extent, some more than others. There's usually some physical bit about another person that you're bound to fall for, whether it's the first thing you notice or it's something in later. Personally, I know I'm pretty shallow because I also take in someone's physical appearance along with their personality, job/career, etc... but the physical is still a pretty important factor for me. And yet, my past relationships can contradict this statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doga Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I think some sort of physical attraction is required for a relationship. For me, the major reason I approach a girl is because I find them attractive on some level, mostly physical. That's not to say I only talk to very attractive girls, or only romantically pursue very attractive women. It just depends on what goes on my head in that very moment. From that point on, beyond the initial interaction, to me it's then where personality and all of that becomes integral. A relationship cannot flourish without a personal connection, as opposed to just physical desire. A strong friendship should grow from an initial attraction, which is where physical appearance plays a role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
