Honestly, as much as I hate to say it: Nothing wrong with that. At the end of the day if you're going to grow old with someone you might as well be able to see a pretty (to you) face with a few glaring personality flaws over someone that may have no personality flaws but looks ugly to you. *shrug*

I don't know if I'm crazy, but I prefer someone who I can have a great conversation with than a pretty face.

you're not crazy. This isn't uncommon at all.

I have to have the conversation part or there's 0 chance of anything lasting more than a few dates. I've also dated people I'm not really physically attracted to before. The other forms of attraction are far more important to me.
 
In terms of romance I find that I've only been swayed by 'love at first sight', where trying to characterize a distinction between physical and mental attractiveness becomes meaningless or in some way inapplicable. I don't know if that has to do with me being somewhat romantically disinterested and so that is all that catches my notice, or because I generally make important decisions in all areas of my life based on instinct or my immediate feelings so that kind of response sort of speaks my language, but apart from the obvious impracticalities of this approach I thought it worked well. You can't really doubt how you feel about someone when it happens that way, but I guess it can make you vulnerable too.
 
I've said it before, sexual attraction is far more flexible than people think, it has happened to me that I start to see someone more attractive if I like their personality, and someone insanely hot starts to get uglier when he is really not that great of a person.

With that said, there is an obvious initial threshold, and I really think there needs to be that initial physical attraction to make things go, however is not that high, the guy doesn't need to look like a model at all.
 
If I had to chose between someone I was physically attracted to but socially incompatible with and someone who was the opposite, I think I would choose neither. Physical attraction and social compatibility are both important things to me.

Though saying that, a part of me feels that my mind would change my perception, and I would eventually start considering the unattractive but socially compatible guy hot.

Does anyone else feel that way?

Edit:

At least another person does.

I feel it is flexible and can also change a little over time. I've known guys who I didn't find attractive that I later liked a lot.
 
Id want someone who can talk to me as well. I did the whole "he was super cute but was not the most social guy." And it was fairly boring and lead to long periods of no conversation.
 
My least favorite thing is awkward silences. I enjoy comfortable silences, and have definitely met some people where we were comfortable just relaxing and not saying much, just enjoying each others company, but damn I could never DATE a 10/10 person and have to put up with awkward silences all the time.

Well. Maybe. If they're like ridiculously hot. Maybe.
 
Great personality or great body?

I'd be fine with an okay looking guy if I love his personality. But if he's so unattractive to me that I don't want to hug him, well, we'd have a problem. Both are very, very important, as crappy as it is that looks matter so much. I think I'd have an easier time with guys if I'd evolve from skinny to athletic.

I like being skinny, though. I'd like looking like this:

First time poster! I am going away to college this spring semester and this my first time ever trying to meet/date men. I just recently created a profile on SilverDaddies (i <3 old men) and am new to everything, do you guys have tips on making sure these people are legit besides getting on Skype with them? I'm not trying to hookup with any of them because I am new to that too, and have clearly stated that in my bio.

Be careful who to trust. Some folks will lie needlessly to just be in your pants.

You are a fresh tadpole in a pool of sharks. You'll get a lot of messages and responses. Fresh meat will bring out the weirdos and creeps looking to tap
virgin(?)
ass. Be careful and know what you're getting into.

My goal is to be just slightly bulkier than this. Then I will have achieved personal perfection. Delicious.
 
Have any of you ever been approached by a porn star? I have a few months ago and I refused but now I just see him on another dating site and I kind of regret it now. Damn it.

I was hit up on Grindr (lol, I leave it there for curiosity's sake) by someone who it turned out had done a lot of porn. He was very complimentary though I obviously didn't take him up on it.

I'd like to look like that, but I'm too lazy to work out.


On an unrelated note, I'd forgotten how good Muse used to be. I was ready to watch Homeland but I can't stop listening to this album, it's fucking perfect.

Clean your body of me
Erase all the memories


How can a song be so good?!?

He may not have had sex that day, but he clearly hit rock bottom :(
 
You guys think cowboys dancing to country music is hot and sexy or weird and more of a turn off?

I keep watching them and can't decide, the country outfit is hot but then I remember Brokeback Mountain, a movie I didn't like very much and I like it a bit less...

Yeah, I didn't really see why everyone liked that movie, it was very boring. Gay cinema has been lacking for a few years now.
 
Every freaking drama from Asia is like that, from "In the mood for love" to "happy together". Hell, if "crouching tiger hidden dragon" had no cool fights it would be the same despair and impossible love. No surprise there that Brokeback was directed by the same guy.

Would be interesting to see something different from the continent but I don't think it exists.
