Is Beauty Overrated?

[PyroChamber]

Being that even the most beautiful person can be cheated on; and, in some cases, attractive people can have the nastiest attitudes. In other words, is it possible to get bored with beauty?

 

[Erzengel]

I like to think beauty gets you in the door and personality allows you to remain.

Honestly, yeah I'd probably have a meaningless fling with a beautiful idiot but I would want to be with someone who I could talk to on the same level, mentally, spiratually, psycotically.

And people say I'm turning into a woman. lol.

 

[Erzengel]

You are.

Anywho, most of the women I've been with have been somewhat educated with at least some basis of common sense.

But yes, I have been with women who didn't challenge me intellectually and no matter how "hot" they were, I did lose some interest.

 

[Apollo]

TRUE beauty is never even thought off.. so no

 

[Master Chief]

But. Omg. I don't use the word fling. I don't think beauty is really overrated though. But you can't really get bored with it either. You can get bored of the person, but that physical attraction? I don't think so. Unless they're extremely airheaded.

It's like the portrait of Dorian Gray for me.
Whenever I've met hot chicks, I'm, "rOwr!".
And whenever I've gotten to know them, if they're not beautiful people, or even if they're just stupid, or we don't share many opinions, they look uglier and uglier to me.

However, I've gotten with girls before who weren't my type, based solely on the fact that I was super-attracted to their personality, they made me laugh a lot, and I got a rosy feeling from being with them because we had so much in common, and I always ended up hurting them really bad by dumping them 'cause I just couldn't get into the physical side of things with them.

That's not shallow. Ideally you should be attracted to the intangible and the tangible. And it killed me to see this person I like so much crying, etc.
So I had to start only going with attractive chicks who are cool.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

You are.

Time to photoshop Barbara Walters with a gun pointed at the camera wearing a balaclava.

true beauty is not overrated, no... being "hott" however, is.

anybody with enough money or makeup or whatever can be sexy, but real, true beauty, is more than just what's on the outside, it's something that comes through from a person's personality... as disney as that sounds.

I don't know. Beauty, by dictionary definition, is all to do with aesthetics. Personality doesn't come into it. That's a different kind of beauty.

And it's not the case that anyone with enough money and makeup can be beautiful. They still come second best to someone who is a truly natural beauty.

...didn't you f**k your gf's sister? A married one at that?

 

[L0ngsh0t]

Well I think Beauty is as suggestive as who like what movie the best and why, cause i find chic's attractive that some of my friends don't think are, and likewise with them. Beauty is awesome, but it also comes from within just as much as it is superficial for me at least

 

[Ahura Mazda]

I think the words of erzengel were very well put. Beauty does get you into the door but personality allows you to stay.

However, a great personality does not make up for lack of physical attraction if you find NO beauty in the person. However, it does enable you to find that person more attractive then what you may think initially whereas a bad personality makes you find flaws in even the most beautiful people.

 

[Eros]

NO it is not.

 

[blind_fury]

Beauty will always be important because most people are shallow.

I blame God.

Wow Wil. I was reading this and got totally surprised by where you went!

Beauty -- there is inner beauty which cannot be seen but is as important as outer beauty.

Outer Beauty -- which is sometimes superficial and hides the lack or type of ugliness held within ...

Then there is the beauty that comes when a woman loves herself and is intelligent, thoughtful and has the characteristics that you long for ... This is the person whose interior beauty can alter your perception of their outer beauty and make them the most beautiful person in the world to you ...

 

[Kipobe]

Only the ugly think beauty is overrated. The ugly, and possibly some women.

 

[Mr. Credible]

...didn't you f**k your gf's sister? A married one at that?

um... yeah. thanks for remembering. oh, and the girlfriend's married sister's husband came back about a month ago, and i met him, and talked my way out of him trying to stab me... fun story. but, that's beside the point.

just because i'm a man-****e doesn't mean i don't recognize true beauty when i see it.

 

[ang_hulk]

yes,also very tainted as far as general public views.

well, yeah, that's what i'm saying.

any girl who decent looking, with a good makeup job and wardrobe can be "beautiful", but if you see a girl in her sweats and a ponytail, with little or no makeup, and she's still beautiful, then, yeah... that's kind of what i mean.

plus, have you ever looked at a girl, and can just tell that she's cool? like, just by her mannerisms, or her facial expressions, you can tell she's a good person? maybe that's just me, but i can do that, and i'm rarely wrong. i can look at some "hot girl" and be immediately turned off because i can tell that she's a *****, or, i can look at some girl that's pretty okay looking, but just seems like she has a great personality and... um... well, i don't know what i'm trying to say.

i work the graveyard shift, so it's like, late evening for me right now, and i'm drinking, so, sorry if that doesn't make sense, but...

Beauty is actually underrated, especially the natural kind.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Heres how I see it. I dated a good looking gal, I would say beautiful, but after dating her I realized what a stuck up, exaggerating ***** she was. Since then when I tried to hook up with good looking lasses but I've come to realize most are ****ing ****ting *****es.

Like someone mentioned beauty pulls people in, put your personality is what gets them to stay.

Beauty is great for eye ****ing people, but it's always personality to me that really pulls me in. If you can get a hot girl with a great personality, thats the jackpot.

 

[04nbod]

*reads this thread to feel better about myself*
lots of people can say beauty doesn't matter but in the end if your in a club and you have to choose between 2 people you don't know the hottie is gonna win. when its in normal everyday life with a person at work it changes though. i give men more credit than just going for the nearest pretty face...but i've been wrong before
