How superficial are men? How much do looks and body shape matter to them?

12 Nov, 2008  photo jewelry making

I may soon find myself back in the dating world. I have not totally 'let myself go' but I have a little bit of a belly. Do you guys really care that much? I have always been a jeans and t-shirt girl, although the t-shirt has now become a baby tee and the jeans have gotten looser. I'm not into make-up, jewelry or spending an hour on my hair. What are my odds when compared to a woman dressed skimpy and primped like she's ready for her photo shoot?

Would you go for a job interview without writing a resume, putting on makeup, getting into a suit? Why would you expect the dating world to be any different? In both cases people are looking at you for the first time and expect to see the best you can be. Why short change yourself simply because you are lazy?

Get back into the gym, buy some new clothes, put on the makeup, and stop focusing on men and refocus on yourself. The men will come as a byproduct.

    To me a lot. I'm not fat so I don't want them to be.

    You don't have anything to worry about. Guys dig that girl next door look…however, despite what they say I truly believe that a man loves his woman to look especially feminine every once in awhile…a nice flowy skirt or a tight boob shirt. I wouldn't worry too much about this if I were you.

    Eye candy wins for initial attraction.

    Of course too pretty may be discuraging if we think she's out of our league. A girl who is "herself" can appear much more approachable. If you're not limiting yourself to a rich poet with six-pack abs, then you're sure to find a good man.

    But a little makeup and some skin showing is a major plus… :-)

    honestly baby here's how it works for men AND WOMEN!!

    MALE: hmm she looks cute…maybe ill go talk to her.

    when he finds out she's really cool, great personlity, good in bed, etc than he keeps her

    FEMALE: hmm he's cute, nice smile…i wouldnt mind going on a date and getting to know him better

    when she finds out he has a job and is stable (rich lol) she keeps him

    There's a lot of men who don't like make up on a woman. Also, for ever superficial guy in the world there is a superficial girl.

    Let your personality shine! The guys that look at body shape are not worth your time.

    it seems that the better looking the guy is the more superficial he is ill put it like this id say 95% of the time a guy will only get a girl that is equal to his looks and vice versa to be serious when do you see a model holding hands with some plain jane NEVER!!

    to honestly answer your question…. really superficial, its sad i know, myself i have to say i prefer someone who is comfortable with who they are, i have gone out with the skimpy and primped types and they can be high maintenance, and after all my years i found it was something a little more than looks that mattered, physical attraction will only keep a couple together for so long, after that if you dont have any other connection then your screwed, so find someone who like you for who you are, that is the only way to be truly happy.

    Guys are very visual. They are influenced initially more by what they see than by any other quality which they cannot see. This is a generalization which is pretty well substantiated. There are exceptions. Some men are going to be so shallow and superficial that they would drown in 1 inch of water. Other men will have more depth and are interested in a woman who is real. The trick is for women to be ale to tell the difference. The women who look like they are ready for their photo shoot (like Paris). Great body and 2 cent brain.

    Yes men are superficial for a reason; precisely when one is being driven by lust or mere venture
    and please factor time,place plus state of mind.
    Some men care alot about the looks and if your worry is your body ,then try to hide your shortfalls with a good wardrobe and compliment it with manners and being very picky in your outtings.
