Question for the ladies, how important is physical attraction ?

Question

We all know that women are shallow creatures concerned about hair nails and jewlery. Lets face it its true.women are no different then men when it comes to sexuality. they want a goodlooking guy with hair and a good body. My proof is that when i was younger i was overweight and on the geeky side. Back then i couldnt have pulled a dime if you gave me a million $. I was still the same nice guy am today. But 6 years later minus 30lbs of fat plus 20lbs of muscle Im a chick magnet.

Answer 1

I resent your shallow comment. I'm not all about the nails and jewelry. Hair, yes, because mine is easily out of control.

I for one prefer a guy who isn't obese, because it shows they don't care enough about themselves to worry about their health, so why would they be able to extend that care toward me? My guy doesn't need to be buff or anything, just well-put-together. I don't care about a few extra pounds, but not a lot.

Answer 2

Being a chick magnet isn't ALL about looks! Attraction is only part of it...

A shallow male will attract a shallow female, a nice guy will attract a nice girl.

Big small short or tall you attract or NOT attract what you put out, that's how it works...

You state women are shallow creatures? That won't get you anywhere with a nice girl in a hurry.

Now you're slimmer and have muscle you think you're a chick magnet? Uh uh you still have some work ahead of you, starting with your mindset, heart and soul. Good Luck and blessings to you ^i^

Answer 3

physical attraction is important, but only in some circumstances, i mean if your in a club you are not going to go over and talk to the ugly one, as you will naturally spot the better lookin people first, however this is natural with all the 'survival of the fittest' stuff, humans and animals alike pick out the strongest member of a group as a potential mate. Alothough it's the next phase where phyisical attraction is put aside and personality and intelligence is the most important factor, and should 'seal the deal' as although the person may look good, you don't want to be with someone who has no opinions/beliefs and can't make you laugh!
so in conclusion physical attraction is important but only in the first phase meeting! so if your good looking and as nice as you say you are it's both these factors that make you a 'chick magnet'

Answer 4

The physical attraction is for just that the original attraction Beyond that so many things come into play While I can appreciate a nice behind, or drop dead looks - All I'm going to do is look if the person doesn't have the rest of the package, and I'll ditch a guy quicker if they demonstrate them self to be immature ignorant or insensitive. That being said there is always that factor of "chemistry"

Answer 5

You apparently don't know much about women, and anyone who makes blanket statements about over 3 billion people just comes off looking foolish, so do watch how you phrase your questions if you've a desire to be taken seriously.

Most women aren't shallow, although many of us are vain to a degree...I couldn't care less about my nails (they take care of themselves) and only somewhat about my hair, but I do like to look nice because when I do I feel good about myself (just like many other women).

Physical attraction is a part of general "attraction" for most people, male and female. However your fat story may not apply as you said you were "younger" at the time, and how kids/teens treated you isn't comparable to how you'd be treated as a fat adult. With maturity many people are able to see beyond the pounds, and even may find them somewhat appealing (I see fat men and women every day that are in relationships, so someone finds them attractive).

Answer 6

It's not the most important thing to me personally, but I don't think you can have a relationship without some level of physical attraction. However, even if the person isn't the best looking, if they have a really good, cute personality, it makes the look cuter for whatever reason. Same going for a bad personality. If you get to know them and hate them they become less attractive.

Answer 7

This is coming from a guy so you might ignore it but in my experience looks count for very little with women. I think your change came from the inside. The better you started looking the more confident you became, making you more attractive to the ladies. If you were confident in yourself back when you were overweight I'm sure you would have done just as well.

Answer 8

Physical attraction isn't important but, most people are just shallow, like those chick magnets you're attracting. You should go for someone that you think has a great personality.

Answer 9

You're obviously just as shallow if you felt compelled to lose weight. I know health reasons could also have something to do with it, but vanity played a part as well. As far as women wanting to have nice hair, nails, etc... why do you think women care about all of that? we want men to notice us and for them to see that we take good care of ourselves. you can say women are shallow creatures but in actuality we as humans, both men and women, are ALL shallow to some degree.

Answer 10

I don't think it is shallow to want someone you are attracted to.but what really matters is how the person you are with treats you or how you treat them that keeps you attracted to each other.cause you can be hot or she but it you have a braty attitude garranteed you will become ugly to each other or they will become ugly to you.are you getting all of this.sometimes when you see a really hot chick with an over weight guy and you think what the hell. its cause that guy treats her good and loves her the way she needs to be loved.so it is important to some and to others it is not to answer your question.
