I have been reading this whole thread ....nice and informative lol. Although I do agree that confidence and character is probably the most important thing in a relationship or in obtaining one, looks do matter as well. CCS does have a point there. (you guys just keep bashing him lol
) This is called initial attraction,,,if a girl isn't physically attracted to you, she won't open up to the possibility of a relationship with you at all. Even if she lets you be her closest best friend...it still wont matter if she is not PHYSICALLY attracted to you as well. If she decides to be with you, this is probably because she is doing whats called as "settling", since this is the point where she realizes she can't have what she has with you with a more physically attractive guy,,she decides to end up being with you. This usually happens as women age and mature, gaining much experience in dating good looking people that treat them like trash or eventually cheating on them, and realizing at a point that will have to look beyond someones looks and "settle" for an average looking honest decent guy in order to maintain a long relationship. I have been really close friends with this girl for over a year now, and I really liked her a lot because of how close we were , and decided to ask her out. She told me that I meant too much to her to consider having a relationship with me and losing me...which was just a nice way of telling me the dreaded LJBF (lets just be friends). Shes gone out with a lot of guys that she knew for like maybe less than 3 months ,, and who have eventually treated her like crap and cheated on her. (She still even has feelings for this other guy that cheated on her) She knows the type of decent person that I am and she knows I would never do that to her,, but it cant ever happen since she is not physically attracted to me. It follows common logic,,,why would you settle for a honda, when you can have a bmw?....now eventually, if she continues to have failed relationships with those jerks,, she might decide to eventually "settle" and "learn" to love me...although this is most probably something i would never do. Regarding baldness; Baldness isnt as dreaded as it once used to be...it actually can be considerd a hairstyle now and many hot chics dig bald guys (as long as u dont have a comb over). The thing is with me , is that I really am an attractive fit guy that works out,, only thing is that I'm not tall ..Im just under average. and no matter how much confidence and good looks I can be oozing out... I know it will most probably never land me a hot chic that is like 5'8 and above. The reason is girls are naturally programmed to be attracted to guys that are taller or sometimes equal to them but never shorter. True there are exceptions as there are exceptions to every rule,,,but I am talking about reality! Most of the times, the guy is taller than the chic. Point is that although in the long run confidence and character is what keeps a relationship going,, it is not everything. Attraction is what allows us to open up to having a relationship with someone. If you are not physically attracted to someone in the slightest bit, you won't naturally be inclined to form a relationship with them unless you REALIZE that you can't get any better at that point (for whatever reason) and decide to "settle" for the guy and learn to love him.
