Unless you are defective and can't get with anyone else, you should not date an unattractive woman.
Dating a woman who is not physically attractive will only serve to lower your status among peers and within society.
It's just not worth it.
The preceding statement was ugly but what wallyj84 said here & in the subsequent posts is how people ACT.
There would not be beauty products & beauty regimens if the image of beauty wasn't so important to human beings. Nobody would care about plastic surgery if human beings didn't place high priority on someone's looks.
There are plenty of worthwhile loving people out there cast aside simply by how they look. That is a FACT.
Those dismissing wallyj84's statements I'm sure have turned their noses up at somebody they didn't see as attractive.
If this person were to approach them to date, those dismissing wallyj84 would say "There was no chemistry." "There's somebody out there who can love him/her just the way they are." "We didn't click." "There were no sparks." "I wasn't feeling her/him." "Ewwwww." "Ugggghhh." "Hahahahahaha!"
wallyj84's brutal honesty puts our real selves in our faces. How do you purport to act vs. how do you REALLY act. His harsh statements make us look at the man/woman in the mirror.
Maybe he IS putting himself down based on his inner insecurities or maybe he's putting himself down after experiencing lots of rejection. Maybe those harsh statements are a reflection of his pain, of the pain of all of humanity.
High school mentality didn't end in high school. It's not just kids who can be cruel. Childhood is just training for adulthood. And believe it that many of those social pecking orders don't go away after graduation.
A man who has been rich all his life simply cannot relate to the poor. The advantaged have a blind spot to the disadvantaged. It has always been this way. Unless effort is made to step in another's mocassins understanding cannot happen.
Usually the only way this can exist is if in some other aspect that person experienced a poor outcome himself/herself. A lifelong sober can never really understand a junkie until that sober becomes a junkie himself/herself. A popular person in sports who was the brunt of mockery in academics may have the opportunity to understand the life of social rejection experienced by the nerd. Different fields but similar response. Compassion usually grows after someone experiences significant hardship personally.
The safe cubicle worker who disparaged "welfare queens" & mocked the underclass may have the chance to understand them once his job is outsourced & his house is foreclosed in the midst of a terrible illness.
Superiority complexes are connected with inferiority complexes. Two sides of the same coin. A person feeling inferior projects superiority in fear of facing that inferiority. If people believe me to be better than I will never be treated as the worse are treated. Ego does whatever it can to protect itself.
Here's a thought: Loving relationships have
nothing to DO with looks. Looks are inconsequential. When people go on & on about looks that's lust talking.
Will women date men shorter than themselves say (5' 3" & below) unashamed? Will men date fat women (say 400 pounds) proudly? Some will but I guaran-damn-TEE you that most will find any reason to say no.
Why should it matter? Relationships are built upon the quality of the reciprocation. Love is given & given back.
People make it matter because they are worried what somebody else will say. Family members, friends, co-workers, passers-by. And most people are conscious of society's judgments. Knowing they face disapproval they opt out in order not to deal with the pressure.
You all may protest what wallyj84 says but he's only reflecting the truth about human beings & their true actions in the mating game. Such honesty is refreshing.
