I remember in high school, this really ugly football player dating a hot cheerleader. Course that was 15 years ago (God I'm old) so idk if it's the norm.

The first thing I notice is a nice smile, then I look for personality, intelligence, and manners.

That's actually kinda nice. Cool to know I don't necessarily gotta look like Chris Evans to catch a girls eye. Haha.

Yeah, you should definitely get your ideas about women from cartoons.

You seem like a nice enough lady, but a little of you goes a long way.

Women, in general, aren't a hivemind. Neither are men. Every individual has their own preference as a person what they're attracted to.

That's true, but when you aggregate those behaviors you start to see apparent trends. So yeah, you're right in that it's stupid to apply those trends to the individual, but it's also stupid to claim that those trends don't exist at all because individuals are different.

okay then in general EVERYONE finds attractiveness important.

and what each person finds attractive depends on the individuals.

that's why total uggos are able to find partners.

You're trying to generalize attraction preferences of half of the world's population with no regard to anything else. That's not going to yield anything useful

Like my friends have their partners and if they weren't together and there was no history I wouldn't be interested in dating any of those guys. Some are pretty attractive and others aren't. They're the people my friends want to be with. None of my friends have said they were drawn to partners because of looks, it was always interactions they had that started the process.

Why can't people who share genitals share other traits?

I was dorky through half of high school but I took a cheerleader to prom... Maybe some people just like others for who they are? This is going to sound brutal (for me), but my wife didn't really care about looks that much (though her type seems to be rugged blondes). She was sort of "meh" with my appearance (in spite of probably qualifying as said type) but her MILFy young foster mom thought I was good looking and advised her not to blow me off (which she says I owe her bigtime for :P). We just had fun playing Halo and stuff and it went from there... #haloandchill

Seriously, though, when we met, both of us had other people chasing us, so it wasn't a lack of options, it was just a matter of always being comfortable with one-another for no real reason. Everything just clicked and that was that. 12 years later, we're still going. I always wanted a "not average" girl (not meaning "average" looks-wise but more not traditional or bland), and unfortunately for me, I tended to only attract boring girly-girls. My wife was a jock that played rugby and volleyball all the time, which was a huge plus to me. I prefer burly women over feminine ones. In my experience though, personality and compatibility carries a relationship across the finish line. You just need to like how the other person looks enough to give them a chance in the first place.

I've known a few girls that get with less-than-attractive dudes and could probably do better in that specific regard, but they just know what makes them happy and run with it. A quality person wants another quality person. A shallow person wants a trophy.

First impressions are huge, and get you into the relationship in the first place. A more attractive person will give a way better first impression than someone who isn't.

Also, let's not forget that an attractive person will almost ALWAYS have an attractive SO. Just saying.

Two people implied that it was a largely pointless area of study. One of them because the demographic was too large and the other because they don't understand aggregation.

in my exp, it matters big time. my looks are average or worse than average, but i have a friend who is above average in looks and tall. i couldn't believe at all the shit he gets away with saying to women because of his looks. he has said jokes that aren't funny and has been straight up rude to some women, but they don't mind for the most part lol.
