Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder' or so they say. Does anyone else find that a lot of profiles that claim they are attractive, actually aren't?

The timeless saying "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder" serves as a reminder that true beauty extends beyond mere physicality. It encompasses the profound elements of passion, chemistry, and mutual respect between individuals. The holistic combination of compatibility, the ability to evoke laughter, and the art of flirtation holds greater value than superficial aesthetics alone. While initial attraction is crucial, it is suggested that women should perhaps recalibrate their focus away from appearances and instead seek a partner who embodies the full spectrum of desirable qualities. After all, our senses encompass more than just sight; our minds can be intellectually stimulated, fragrances can evoke intense emotions, and touch holds undeniable significance. Moreover, one's body type also plays a significant role, as it reflects dedication, consistency, and self-respect. While physical features cannot be changed, investing in one's physique demonstrates a commitment to personal growth and a genuine regard

I am sure this post reminds me of a post a few years back and the answer was Quasimodo

Beauty also lies in chemistry. I think we all mature here to understand looks are not everything. If the chemistry is missing or the other person is rude then looks doesn't matter. Of course one should attract you but give looks only 50% weightage and rest to the chemistry.

When I was young (and possibly a little shallow šŸ˜²) it would be looks that first attracts me to a man ... in fact I married a very good looking guy whom everyone fancied.

However, I am now older, possibly a little wiser and definitely a lot less shallow, it is nolonger the case and I can say, hand on heart, it is the combination of person/personality that matters more than looks.

Yes, I do like to see someone's photo first but 99.9% of the time I will not make a judgement on that alone but wait to meet in person before deciding.

As for what "Enigma.. 04:59PM" says below about the men, I have to agree with her!!!

This thread has made me smileā€¦
Okā€¦ Iā€™m actually laughing out loud here šŸ˜‰šŸ˜‚.
When someone has on their profile ā€œLooks unimportantā€ or ā€œI donā€™t have a typeā€!?!?
ā€œLiar, liar pants on fireā€. Itā€™s the polite version of what I really want to say šŸ˜‰.

If you donā€™t like what you see just say so. Wish me all the best and move on.

Meanwhile change your profile to ā€œYes I do have a typeā€. And ā€œYes looks are importantā€ā€¦
But Iā€™m not going to change my profileā€¦. Why!?!

Because it will narrow down the playing field šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļøšŸ™„šŸ˜‰šŸ˜‚.

Ladiesā€¦. Run. Better get yourself a boat as well!?! After all the UK is an island šŸ˜‰šŸ˜‚.

LadyDe -

I'm not looking for the opposite of my husband and I'm not looking for a duplicate of my husband either. But I am looking for someone who is in the same class in the looks department or thereabouts. Why would I downgrade on what I find visually attractive? I wouldn't walk up to someone in a bar and chat them up if there wasn't some visual attraction to begin with.

If you're meaning 'opposite' to your husband in personality then fair enough, I get that.

I agree with Stuart B77.

When a request for pw comes with the first message, you can bet the house that I will not be one she is looking for.

There a few ladies on here who have perfected the art of a brutal rejection in such a way that you love them regardless. They should be celebrated.

My favourite on here is ā€˜looks arenā€™t important to meā€™, those with that description are normally asking for your photo password in the first or 2nd message and then ghost you when a pic is givenā€¦ fickle šŸ¤£

Iā€™m brutally honest with the description of myself, no delusion here! Donā€™t see the point in over egging your description of your picture canā€™t back it up!

Attraction is a must. Seeing someone eye to eye means so much, whether you would like to kiss them or not is important. If itā€™s a yes then something happpens, but if not itā€™s thanks but no thanks and wish them wellā€¦there simply has to be a connection of some sorts and a need to fancy the other person
