Are Looks And Age Important.

[BloodyWolverine]

I just wanted to ask a serious question about dating and what do people look for. I mean do we pass poorer men or women if they are good people but are not say a Johnny Depp or a Brad Pitt. I mean do you select your better halfs by looks, money or age bracket. Or is love jus love and you just know. But honestly would you pick your future some if he or she was A handsome George Clooney or a Robbie Coltrane someone that is talented but is not a 10. How much stalk do you put in looks and status when choosing that special someone.

Part 2 question.

Can people find lasting true love be he man or women if they are 18-26 or 30 and 20. Is love blind for a couple. May they be and older man and a younger women or vise versa. And do we the older person worry about faithfullness and ruin the relationship.

Most of my male friends want someone younger, while most of my female friends want someone older. Funny. Anyway, age isn't a factor for me. Looks though, I admit I'm a bit superficial.

 

[Crooklyn]

Old enough that she won't get you in prison, sexy enough that you can look at her while doin the nasty, and talented enough that she doesn't just become a booty call.

The last part will change as we get older my friend. Love may hit you and you may pass up the prince for a frog but maybe not.

its weird, pretty much everyone you'll ever meet is nice enough, (to some extent) so i spose you might as well get one that looks nice as well.

My eye is drawn to more attractive women, but I wouldn't say age is particularly important. As long as she's not like 15.

I'm of the opinion that when you make a real connection with someone, it's because of who they are not because of what they look like. It's just that very attractive people tend to be the first ones I hit on.

You don't choose that special someone, it just happens

You mean stock?
(Stalk sounds a little too much like "stalking.")

 

[Dangerous]

I like ugly peeps best.

Another thing to think about is ugly chicks are easier to pull.

You need a happy medium, really. Sometimes they'll try to make up for lack of looks with an excess of personality, and will ultimately come off really annoying.

I never really factor in age and looks. If they're not old enough to be my parents and not young enough to be my children, I'm not all that worried. Equally, if I could wake up next to them in the morning and thing 'Oh my god! What the hell is that?' I'm happy.

Besides, a shy girl with low self-esteem isn't gonna run off with someone else in a hurry.

For me, I need a balance of looks and personality. Age isn't important. I usually tend to date girls who are younger than me, but that's just the way it is. I think if a girl is too young for me, then you may not have as many interests. It's not anyone's fault, it's just people can have the tendancy to think differently at different ages.

That said, I've seen people in their 40's as hip as people in their 20's, and people in their 20's a lot more mature than those hitting the 50 mark. I guess everyone is unique.

I tend to do physical activities, and prefer a girl who can do these things. I'm in my 30's, and date girls who are in their early 20's. For me, it's a matter of as long as their 21, I'm good. 21 is important, because it allows them to get into clubs or go to places that they might not otherwise be able to go to because of being younger than 21. I keep myself up, and still get carded, so age is just perspective and attitude to a point.

As far as looks go, I tend to prefer girls who keep themselves up, ie. Hair, makeup, nails, figure, etc. That said, I also don't want someone who is not intellectually stimulating. I take care of myself physically, and think that people who are attractive should be with people who are attractive, and people who are not attractive should be with the same.

So, ultimately it is a balance of looks and intelligence (personality included in that). There are other variables I look for in a girl, and that attract me to someone. Age isn't the biggest factor, however.

I only date hot sexy looking women, 18 and above. I don't care for colour, creed, religion and all that crap....and yes, personality only matters if I'm looking for a long term relationship but on the whole I couldn't care less about personality, I'm in it to get my leg over.

 

[BloodyWolverine]

Me myself falls into the hard luck catagory for i'm not saught after lets say. People can face it or sugar coat it. But no one would pick a good man but is out of shape and unattractive.Over a good looking person. I don't look for it be pointless for i am the unattractive one. Do i think people should be paired up by looks no but its how things are i guess.

 

[DorkyFresh]

of course looks are important. anyone who says otherwise is lying. someone could be the coolest, most charming, most moral person in the world but if he/she looks like Sloth from the Goonies they won't even get the time of day...


...as far as age goes, physical age doesn't matter. mental age is what matters imo. maturity levels can't be too far apart or else the relationship won't work. both partners could be 22 years old but if one acts like a 28 y/o and the other acts like a 16 y/o, it won't work...

I think you are wrong. Just because you think you might not be desirable trust me looks are not what counts .. I think what is inside a person is much more important than what is showing on the outside . You would be so surprised how many beautiful ladies would be very interested in you and not someone who thinks they are God's gift to the entire human race .. To me looks are not important and as far as age I just think older men seem to think more with their heart and less with their .....

 

[Fried Gold]

and less with their .....

Cock?

 

[jaguarr]

LOL @ Fried Gold for connecting the dots.

What you'll find as you get older and more meaningful relationships become more important to you than just bulldogging the nearest hot chick for the night is that your idea of what's attractive or hot begins to change a bit. You start to consider more about a person than their outer beauty and paying more attention to what's going on in their head and heart as well. We'll ALWAYS want to be with and pursue people we find physically attractive, there's no doubt about that. But, at some point, you'll start to care more about the person they are and how compatible you are on emotional and intellectual levels as well as the interests you share. If you get lucky, you can find someone who arouses both your intellect as well as your loins, to paraphrase Eddie Murphy's "Coming To America" character. Believe me, it can happen. I'm married to a smokin' hot lady who suits me in every way imaginable.

As far as age goes, I've never really gotten hung up on that. I've dated lots of older women and lots of younger women. My wife is a couple years older than me, but it's not something we even consider for a moment. In fact, there's not much I've considered an obstacle or boundary when it came to dating. If you're attracted to someone, go for it. Hell, I've dated women that were nearly six feet tall, and I'm a 5'6" shorty. You just have to have confidence in yourself and be willing to take a chance. You never know when or where you'll find "the one".

Yes.
And it's a lot easier to work as a janitor or a clerk at 7-11 than it is to work as the CEO of a multi-national corporation.

About the looks, I actually think everyone is beautiful (Deep Down) So it doesn't even matter how they look. Look at Seal, (The singer) Of cource I notice his, I don't even know what to call it, but you know what I'm talking about. That's ony skin deep. What really matters to me is what I see in their eyes. If I can look in their eyes and it makes my heart race, or makes my have to catch my breath, they could not have a nose and I'd be ok.

Now about age, I don't know. I have always had a limit, and I never thought I'd be with anyone younger than me, or even have feelings for someone younger than me. Sadly, that has changed and It turns out I can like someone younger than me, but that doesn't mean I'd do anything. Now older is a different story, I love, love, love, older. Really.

Shifting gears slightly, It made me uneasy when my 17 year old friend started dating a woman well into her 30's. I mean, she had a kid (Girl) who was around 17, maybe 15 or 16. That felt wrong to me on so many levels, but he was my friend, and if he was happy, good for him. That didn't stop me from telling him how wrong it felt to me, though. I can really be an Judgemental (sp?) Ash-hole sometimes.

I think first impression counts and therefore I am usually attracted to a person who makes the best first impression on me. I've been told that I am bias against blonds and anyone younger than I am. True, I am not that attracted to blonds but I have gone out with 2 guys who are blonds for they have shown me that they are more than just that. They were great guys.

As far as age is concerned, I'm not attracted to anyone much younger than I am. I'm 28, so my cut off age is 25. I like to have fun but at the same time, I love activities and conversations that stimulates my mind. I find intelligence to be very attractive and very sexy. Most of the people I've hung out with who are 25 and under, I found them to be quite immature and without goals and some, without jobs.

Before I get any bashing from those who are 25 and under here, let me just say that I don't believe all those in that age bracket are like that. I am sure there are many who are mature, driven, employed and ambitious but I've not met that many of them. And when I do, they're usually already taken.

So, in conclusion, are age and looks that important. To a certain extent, to me, they are, but they are not high on my priority list. What's more important is that the person is a honorable, kind, caring, noble, smart, funny, positive, not a slacker, knows what he/she wants and works hard to get to that goal. And not a criminal. Show me that you are more than just a face that's pleasant to look at, more than just a number, and you'll get my attention and grab my interest.

 

[Fran]

Short answer for me:

Yes, and yes.

Also, a good-looking gal with a great sense of humor, smart, upbeat, kind, etc., is just additional +++ points.

 

[November Rain]

Age is very important as i'm more attractive to people who look older than me, especially middle aged ladies, i think there is something about their eyes and they way they carry themselves. there is a lot more confidence and class there than a younger lady who is more likely to be looking to a steady rock to lean on more than an equal partner.

I like how epic/biblical that sounds.

Yea, verily Bella was in that day shewn by 2 blonde dudes

 

[kane9321]

looks arent important to me..its all about the chemistry and the ever important 1st impression
