Ladies: Stop going to the salon, wearing make-up, applying fake nails etc., tanning (if you do) & going to the gym. Then see how he react towards you.
Fellas: Stop working out, dyeing your hair, tanning, & wearing 'hot-bod' shirts. Then see how she react towards you.
My male cousin & best girlfriend recently did this..(Stop wearing fake hair/nails/makeup/contacts/hair dyes/etc, stop dressing in body-shaping clothes, & stop going to the gym) & they both told me how their lovers reacted to them..They claimed that they did want to be w/ them as much as them did BEFORE the experiment. My cousin even told me that him gurl asked him, "Whats happening to you?" No, they are not naturally ugly, but their mates were SO turned on by the HOTTEST side of them, they ignored the regular side of them. 😢
Why must the world judge people's looks? >😢 How sickening!! >😢
I have spent much of my current relationship w/o looking after myself properly due to depression, and my partner loves me just as much. I love him too, even though he no longer makes as much effort to look good for me. We love each other for who we are, not what we look like (though I do love the way he looks, especially when he's lookin scruffy!)
hee hee. We had a fight last night, throwing all the crockery at each other and smashing it one the floor, and then we made up within about a half hour 🙂
I do agree that looks shouldn't be the SOLE base for which you are attracted to someone, but I think it is completely unrealistic for others to 100% rule out looks & physical appearance in terms of who we are attracted to & how we become attracted to them in the first place. I think normally in relationships when the makeup comes off & the interest goes down, there was always a lack of interest in the areas like intellectual communication, etc. from the beginning. It's no different than the guy who marries the very skinny woman with the hot atletic body, but when she gains weight, some men will stay temporarily & then jet out of the door while others will leave immediately. But if that happens, the relationship didn't resemble growth between the 2 companions anyways. I think it is okay to admit that looks are important but there should be a THICK LINE drawn so that others can know when to not make physical appearance be the only thred that's keeping them hanging or attracted to someone. Normally when someone is only attracted to you for your looks, is because they haven't taken the time to get past the shallowness of that first glance & actually do themselves a favor & see if there's actually any brains inside of that beautiful body. Or some men are okay with having just a beautiful woman on the outside without really ever even attempting to see what's on the inside. And with both case scenarious, one or both people are in that relationship for the wrong reasons. And we all know a relationship based on irrationality will end in irrationality or worse. I think it's okay to be attracted to the person you chose to like. After all, who are you to tell me that I don't deserve someone who is physically appealing to my own eyes. BUT out of 24 hours of that day, that person's physical appearance might only benefit me for 2-3 hours (sex, or going out somewhere so everyone else can see how fine my partner is) but those other 21-22 hours only goes by smoothly if there's an intellectual connection or some other connection that allows the naturally shallow mind to get past that shallow state. Once most men are past that shallow state, they begin to realize that they're only cheating themselves by getting just the beauty when they really should find more motivation to actually search for the woman that has the 2-in-1: the beauty AND the brains. Any man who's just looking for 1 is lacking serious motivation in what he think he deserves.
