Watch it, buster. :mad:
There’s a lot of depressing negativity in this thread. To read some of this stuff, unless someone fits some standard for looks, they should consider themselves lucky if anyone ever likes them. Here’s something for the clueless: We ALL end our lives fatter, droopier, and balder than we were at 21.
Maybe she’s me. An average lookin’ Jane, who when I was about 100 pounds overweight once was the object of affection of a man who was so scarily handsome that people used to stare. I dumped him after I heard two women in the ladies’ (heh) room talking about the smokin’ hot man and the lardass. I couldn’t believe in my heart that someone who looked like him could ever really be interested in me. He called me several times after that - very very upset. I really hurt him…badly.
So - hopefully you’ll keep your comments to yourself & let the relationship play out the way it will - naturally. Trust me - “hags” & plain Janes are well aware of their appearance.

I assume the converse holds, as well.

Okay, so I’m in a bad mood tonight. I probably shouldn’t post. that said, who really cares about this? Why is it anyone’s damn business? He likes her, she likes him, and it’s nobody else’s business to criticize. Maybe the handsome boy just has more depth of character than most of our miserable fucking world.
So, how’d that date go?
The first date went fine. The second date was postponed as I got news about a friend of mine dying earlier this week and (a) needed to work on a eulogy for him, and (b) didn’t think I’d be good company; see my other thread in this forum. We rescheduled for next week. I came back to this thread to apologize for my vehemence in this one.
Maybe she just plain adores him…that’s attractive to a lot of guys.
That’s your point of view.
This is the key. If you find someone who is attractive to you, and they adore you, why would you not stay with them?
I’ll second this Skald
The plainest girl I ever knew had such character and charisma that when she walked in a room the whole world lit up.
Looks aint everything people.
If I understand what you’re confused about correctly, note that I didn’t say EVERY good-looking guy is interested in me. 
I’ve certainly been rejected by cuties, and I don’t hold it against them. But there have been other cuties that did show an interest.
I knew a girl a few years ago who had an incredible amount of males infatuated with her (including me )who while not downright ugly WAS short,dumpy,large rear end and very average looking . After some considerable analysis both of her and myself Irealised that it was conscious use of body language on her part ,looks of adoration or rapt interest when the male was speaking , an unexpected touch on your hand or a maternal act like wiping a smudge off of your face .An air of open unsophistication and the the odd understated comment on how brave/tough /masculine you were ,made unselfconsciously(but not too often )Strangely enough even after I became aware of what she was doing and that her behaviour was very much calculated I was still infatuated with her .Isaw her after a gap of several years and thought how dull and unalluring she was!Sigh…another one of my younger selfs illussions shattered sob!
You forgot that an ugly girl may often be more loyal than a hot chick.
Because she’s so grateful? :rolleyes:
Many interesting observations. I recall seeing this couple, they were clearly a couple. the guy looked like a younger version of Brad pitt-probably early 20’s. the girl was overweight, wore dumpy clothes, and had frizzy hair-glasses as well. But who knows-true love is blind!
WTF? Hot military guy couldn’t use protection? Women don’t get pregnant by themselves you know.
Wait – these two are supposed to be taken as negative attributes? Not in my book.
My point is that beauty and ugliness are very personal terms. What one person sees as ugly, another person may see as hot. When you look at a couple that you think is mismatched, they may well disagree.
Gosh no. That’s news to me.
I said both parties were stupid. Actually in this case they only had maybe one more kid before breaking up. She took the kids with her to go home and live with her parents, eventually was diagnosed with mental problems and the grandparents ended up caring for the kids. My friend figured it was easier to remain in the military and continue to pay child support than leave the military and try to wrest custody from the mother who’d already moved the kids to another state.
I would! I’m constantly weirded out by the disparity between Marc Anthony and J-Lo. She’s not the hottest woman in the world by any means, but he looks like Skeletor!
They’re this season’s Paulina and Ric. (I think Marc Anthony’s cute though.)
