put some gel in your hair and grow a chin strap

Everyone has a hard time meeting the right person.. It doesn't matter what you look like....

mmm...well, there was that "thing" with Boo-boo....

BINGO!!!

Sorry this is long...

When dating online, not many people will look at a photo of someone they're not attracted to and say, "hey, this person is really not my type, I want to get to know them even more!"

Like it or not attraction is important. Attraction to someone is what takes a person from platonic friend to lover. The good news is that as long as you don't look like Elephant Man (well maybe even if you look like the Elephant Man), there will be someone, somewhere that is going to find you attractive.

You don't need to look like Brad Pitt, (though I'm sure it wouldn't hurt :P) to find a mate but if you look a certain way or don't look a certain way, then your dating pool might be a little smaller. It's the same with other factors like smoking, religion, kids, etc., people know what they want or don't want in a potential partner.

I'd suggest to try dating in person in addition to just on-line. Meeting in person increases your chance of making a personal connection with someone that goes beyond just your physical appearance alone. During a face-to-face conversation, you get the chance to tell people about yourself and let other qualities shine through that they might find desirable.

Lastly, if you are unhappy with your appearance or think changing it might increase your dating pool, it's never too late to change it. The time is going to pass anyway - might as well be happy with yourself when it does.

No matter what people put in their profiles, looks are the first criteria in attraction.

That said, everybody has their own tastes.

I like chunky to thin, for me there is no difference.

Now so heavy that we cannot walk somewhere together, no.

I am not thin and never will be and am happy with it that way.

OP: Women are not looking for a clone of Brad Pitt.

Keep in mind when you SEE someone it is their physical appearance that triggers an attraction. Attraction is subjective, so what may be "hot" for someone is not necessarily the same for all. Most women aren't looking for a man who the masses deem as HOT, but "hot" in their eyes.............

Furthermore, a physical attraction will pique someone's attention, but their heart will keep their attention.

She is SOOOO right. Thinking someone is good looking is different than liking the way they look (??) - You're photo needs to have some kick to it. Doesn't have to be Brad Pitt - just interesting.

Its not the looks...
separated is the #2 dealbreaker
so is :whining: because your kitty ran away
women aren't as shallow as you think so quit being a baby, act like a man, and see what happens
good luck

I totally agree with this!

Redefine your relationship status and then look. It is a disservice to women if you have unfinished business. A potential soul mate deserves all the best chances at happiness and love.

It seems kind of rude and insensitive to say that all the "good guys are taken or gay" to a single man who who isn't gay and a single man who is an "ok person" and still available...People sure toss around a lot of generalizations about the opposite sex without paying attention to who is within ear-shot.......

Not Smokey ... nuh-unh ... no way ...

I agree 100000% !!

If you're not attracted to the person, you're not going to give two craps about the person's personality.

I must admit...it is hard work looking this damn good. I mean really, two and three girls a day is enough for one man. My phone is constantly blowing up. Im always getting messages on here from women that only say things like "wanna f**k?". It gets tiring man...let me tell you, its not all its cracked up to be.


HA HA HA HA HA HA

I hear you man...

Men will be men

Thank God for unlimited texting!
