<p>How much do you pay attention to what a girl looks like as opposed to her personality/talents/charm/whatever?</p>
<p>I'm just so tired of hearing the whole "You're a great girl and all you're just not girlfriend material" crap. (yes a boy actually said that to me once)</p>
<p>Well i lovee girls with great all around type personalitys. Love charm..
Sadly appearance matters to me a bit. However, Personality is what really counts. Frankly, i have to admit, Jessica Alba was Love at first sight....</p>
<p>^300th POST!!! WOOT! WOOT!!! WOOT!!! WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>I do think that there has to be physical attraction, otherwise there's basically no point. But it shouldn't be the main thing, should it?</p>
<p>Congratulations on your 300th post by the way. Only 103 to go for me!</p>
<p>I go for smart, independent, down to earth girls. Yeah, being attractive is important to me, but being attractive depends so much on how a girl carries herself (independently or confidently) that the two kinda go hand in hand. If a girl has the personality traits that I look for then I can't help but find her attractive.</p>
<p><em>Sigh</em></p>
<p>Now see, why can't we have boys like that in CA?</p>
<p>Looks are like the cover of a book. For me at least.</p>
<p>Very eloquently said, mathwiz. I completely agree.</p>
<p>Here's how it is with me:</p>
<p>There's a level of attraction that has to be met. You're either above this level or you're not. That means that Jessica Alba and that cute girl across the street are on equal playing ground. (Actually, I don't really think Jessica Alba is that cute, but apparently everyone else does, so whatever.) This bar really isn't set that high. If you're in the 60th percentile in terms of attractiveness, then you're probably fine by me. It also isn't too hard to get above the 75th percentile. All you need to do is a) not be overweight (this is avoidable) b) not wear excessive amounts of makeup or dress too wildly c) not smoke, drink excessively, do drugs, or party excessively, and you're in.</p>
<p>Then is where personality separates everyone else. If you're stunningly beautiful and have a flat personality, you don't stand a chance. If you barely top the 75th percentile in terms of looks but have an amazing personality, then you're probably at the top of my list.</p>
<p>As long as a girl isn't hideous, I will give her as much of a chance as any other girl. And I've yet to meet a girl that was hideous. I also don't really have any kind of criteria on level of intelligence, charisma, athletic skills, etc.</p>
<p>Then again, I'm gay, so my opinion probably isn't what you're looking for. ;)</p>
<p>I agree to some extent. But not in the usual sense of looks (I think, at least). A girl who takes care of herself (not caking on makeup, or necessarily even any make up, but looks good), carries herself confidently, etc. looks good to me. It isn't about striving to look like a perfect, plastic, blonde. It's about looking best in the body you've got. Uniqueness is hot.</p>
<p>Tt has sooooo much more to do with the chemistry between you two, being attracted to their scent, all that, than it does with how close to some stupid ideal the girl is.</p>
<p>Not being reassuring. Telling you the damn truth.</p>
<p>for me girls have to be somewhat attractive. For me a girl is attractive if she isnt hideous AND she is confident. after that they MUST have a good personality and be intelligent</p>
<p>Girls are like college admissions.</p>
<p>I wait for them to chase me, not the other way around. Then I look at their application, crudentials, etc, and rank them. If they're lucky, I will choose them. The acceptance rate is around that of Harvard's - 10% - so it's very competitive. But if they apply early decision the chances go up.</p>
<p>Looks are the equivalent of affirmative action. The ugly looking ones have a slight edge.</p>
<p>You're a jerk, wxmann. XD</p>
<p>I think he forgot the </p>
<p>well looks are a part of it but just a small part
but thats not the only thing that im looking for
they need the overall package: personality, wit, charm, etc</p>

what do girls find in you that makes you as attractive as harvard?</p>
<p>Girls looks matter. It's just how it is.</p>
<p>However, looks alone don't keep a relationship going. There has to be more.</p>
