For guys only: how shallow and/or easily manipulated are you?

Question

I'm doing a bit of research for a class. I was wondering if you men could help me out? Answer these for me as honestly as you can.

1. Have you ever been attracted to an overweight girl, but did nothing about it because you thought it would look bad to your friends and/or general public?

2. Have you ever dated a girl solely because she would make you look good?

3. Would you rather date an ugly girl with a hot body or a fat girl with a hot face? What if the fat girl had a horrible personality? What if the girl with the hot body had a horrible personality?

4. If no one put so much emphasis on what body types are attractive on women, do you think you would broaden your range of who you date? Think carefully. How much of your dating life is decided by society?

5. Would you still be attracted to a girl if you found out she was only pretty because of the makeup she wore, but her personality was great? She's a dog without makeup.

It's a college sociology class. I'm looking into the opinion that men are more shallow than women. I picked my topic, it was not the class.

Some of you aren't reading the entire question. The first one isn't asking if you've dated a fat girl. I don't care if you have or not. I'm asking if you've ever wanted to, but DIDN'T because you were embarrassed to.

Answer 1

1 no, i like a lil meat
2 no not 2 be concided but i look pretty good on my own
3 fat girl with hot face u cant make an ugly chick hot but u can work out with a chubby chick ne1 with a horrible personality cant roll with me
4 no b/c i think all woman r beautiful, fat, thin, short, tall, black, white, ect
5 personality can make ne1 pretty, but i dont like chicks that wear alot of makeup

Answer 2

1. I have been attracted to an overweight girl but I dated her because I didn't care what anyone thought about it.

2. No. Most guys date a girl because of how she would make us feel, not how she would make us look.

3. I would rather date a fat girl with a hot face - I'll be spending alot more time looking at her face than I would be playing with her body (unfortunately). If either the fat girl or hot body girl had a horrible personality I wouldn't date them. Putting up with a ***** is just way too draining.

4. My dating life (before my wife of course) was always dictated by my own desires not those of my friends, family or society in general. None of my dating life was decided by society. It was always about how she made me feel. My initial sexual attraction to a woman combined with the kind of personality she would have were always my own personal guage as to whether or not I would date them.

5. I would still want to be with her because personality for a relationship is everything. The only thing it would effect would be how much I wanted to have sex with her. With a beautiful woman, you would likely want to have sex all the time (naturally) but with an ugly woman you generally need to be worked up and in the mood to begin with. Again, if she had a bad personality then it wouldn't work at all because, on top of her being ugly you'd end up hating her. So, personality is what keeps it all going.

Answer 3

1. I never let friends, family or society decide who I dated. I dated the women for the way we enter acted with each other.

2. Refer to number one.

3. Once again for me it is compatibility and not looks or personality.

4. Since i can answer all these question the same I will offer a few words of my opinion. I think everyone has their own preference to type, personality and looks so its really up to the individual to be honest with themselves and not with society.

5. Once again its about compatibility. If she was really ugly but we hit it off would she really be ugly in my eyes?

I hope this helps you with your paper.

Answer 4

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Ugly girl hot body. If bad personality then do her and dump her.
4. No. I don't give a crap about what society thinks.
5. Yes.

Answer 5

1. Strangely I have never really seen an ugly "overweight" girl.Alot of them have beautiful faces.Kirsty Alley for an example.
Personally I wouldnt care about a little chubbyness.More to cuddle up to.
So,no an overweight girl is no problem for me.
2.No, if a guy needs to date and "hot" girl to look good,he is very insecure about his own appearance.
3.I would rather date a girl who respects herself for what she is,personality is very important.
4. this question doesnt apply to me.(have been married for more than ten yrs)
5.same answer as Q.3

Answer 6

1. Yes, I've been attracted to an overweight girl and yes I dated her (she was not overweight just thick and sexy)
2. No
3.Ugly girl with a hot body, so I can cover her face when needed
4. No, I don't follow trends
5. Yes, every girl I know wears make up it just enhances beauty

Answer 7

1!!! I haven't dated but as for the attraction I've never really been attractive to grossly overweight women. not trying to be mean. but to me its not health good for the body and deadly. not good in any of that.. and it shows lack of self discipline.

2!!!.. once again never dated.. as far as to make me look good.. heck i couldn't think less of myself or think anyone could change that look of mine. though allot of girls think O'm cute i find myself at odds with them because i think I'm UGLY! so no i wouldn't date a girl to make me a more popular person or anything like that..

3!!! you basically sayin wud you date anyone? no i wouldn't date a fat girl cuz of my belief. as for the "ugly faced girl" i personally go for a good personality and look inside a person. i know allot of girls that don't have a very "pretty" face. MUCH rather date them then a snotty girl with a hot face. and finding a girl with a moderate or hot body and a ugly face and be mean is next to impossible. Id go for the one with the hot body ugly face but no if she is snotty mean or bad personality!! so wrong if you don't have manners.

4!!! I don't put much an emphasis on body types. not fat.. is all i say. nothing personal to the fat population! i respect your decision.. if you call it a decision at all. because it shows lack of self discipline and not much care for the body and only an indulgence in pleasure. sound familiar.. men.. sex.. yes yes very familiar... Not affected by society. though i think im ugly and the worst person in the world its in my head and my problem and no one else's i don't impose it on anyone and dont care what a person thinks of me. i just know what i am.. i know what i think...

5!!! MAKEUP! F' it!. i find girls without makeup are prettier then girls with it i would rather date an ugly faced girl with no makeup and great personality then a girl that wears makeup all the time to hide herself.. makeup is a public way of saying with big fat letters "i care what you think about me too much and want to hide my true self so that you only know a lie about me"

like totally easy Q's...

Answer 8

1. no
2. no
3. um...ugly girl with hot body. and if they had a horrible personality, I'd tell them to get the eff outa' my life
4. the trend of tall, skiny, lustfull, and big boobed is NOT what I go for. I like short, petite, CUTE, and small or average breasts.
5. oh jeezus that's tough...the sad fact is, if you're not attracted to the person, the relationship won't work. so many of us may try to be all high and mighty and call people shallow for saying stuff like that, then they go off and ask out the hottest girl they know.

Answer 9

Coz thre r gals like u who desire to control men.i've visible many instances whre gals are manipulated by way of man.as soon as a gal real luvs a man she will also be manipulated in besides a man needs until she is a whore. ;-D

Answer 10

-just as a sidenote, the fact that you mention that this is for a socialogy class and that your hypothesis is that men are more shallow than women, is skewing your results. more men that aren't shallow are actually taking the time to respond to this than would normally, and men that probably are a little shallow are reacting to your bias and probably not answering truthfully
