SLD as Chick Magnet
shinju_chan:
I guess for me, "female shallow-ness" means competing with women to look pretty rather than having particularly high standards in men's looks. I will personally admit that I have a painfully weak spot for intelligence and "smart-looking" men, well-put together clothes, healthy-looking, etc. rather than for generally "good-looking." I have heard very few men say the same thing about women :?
In fact sometimes I'm completely turned off by really good looking guys if they look like they know it, a bizarre sort of mistrust I suppose. I'm curious if any men feel the same way about women who looks really good and know it, but somehow I doubt it :roll:

WOW!!!! You mean I'm gonna become a Chick Magnet, WIKKID!!!! - I owe it all to Seth ;-)
Tandoori Trilobite:
Now just hose yourself down there, falconcy! The dragon might've already woken up to that possibility, too. :D
Shinju_chan -- I just happened to notice your ticker. I can recall you joining the board, and I've gotta say it -- you've made damn impressive progress. Well done!

Not at all bizarre, Shinju Chan!! Ever heard of the 'halo effect'?
It's where we attribute or assume attractive people have positive personality traits just because they are good looking, and as a consequence, very good looking people can often get away with very unattractive behaviour, and they also don't have to work as hard at developing "nice" personalities. And yes, this is a generalisation, but hey, I studied it in Psychology at University, so don't blame me for the theory.
I've often wondered too if the opposite happens - where people who are very unattractive develop personalities in response to other people's 'rejection' of them.
Shinju Chan, one of THE MOST drop-dead devinely gorgeous-looking men I ever met, (over 30 years ago and I can still remember his face!) , turned out to be one of the most ugly people I've ever known - totally selfish, inconsiderate, unfeeling, manipulative, self-centered....plus plus plus. He didn't have to be decent and nice, especially to women, as his looks reeled them in like placid fish!
karky:
reminds me of that country song
She Ain't Pretty, She Justs Looks That Way :D
