Yea so true.
It's not to say that looks don't matter. Ofcourse there needs to be a level of physical attraction in a relationship as in you don't want to be with someone you find physically repulsive. I guess what the post is trying to say is not to be bambozzled by a goodlooking person that you lower your standards and needs. And to make sure that you hold him to the same standards as you would to other average to decent looking men.

Looks matter, PERIODT. Make sure you are physically attracted to someone as well. Don't settle ladies you can have all of it and then some.

I don't think that's what the post means. I think it means to not date a LVM just because he's attractive. And don't settle for less or lower your expectations on how he treats you just because he's handsome.

That's the message I got.

I date for both. I cant totally disregard looks. However, personality is indeed very important and matters

After dating ugly guys pretty much my entire 20s oh hell no I'm ready for someone hot. But my idea of hot includes features of maturity. I dated a muscular guy who couldn't dress himself. Or a super tall guy who was ghost pale from never going outside. Then a nicely tanned guy who never washed his hair. Always fucking something. It's no longer counting as hot to me. They have to know self care not just lucky genetics. Self care usually points towards other good qualities.

I don't understand the poor hygiene thing with some men. Whyyyyy? You should want to be not-filthy so you can attract a mate, right?

After my experience with my narcissist model/bodybuilder NVM, I've given up on my physical ideals 100%. All my life I dated guys who fit my idea of physical attractiveness. They were all pieces of shit, every single one of them. So now I don't care. They can have beard or not, they can have long hair or not, they can have blue eyes or hairy chest, whatever. What they can't do is be disrespectful, ignore my boundaries, in general be LVM. Of course finding someone who I find physically attractive AND high value would be perfect, but as long as he's well groomed and well dressed, I'm not fussy about looks. I am however very fussy about getting respect.

I did say I wouldn't date someone with bad hygiene and things like that, but I lived long enough to see that unfortunately HVM are really rare. I want a HVM, not a model. If I don't get a HVM whose looks I'm okay with, I'm going to stay single and that's it. I have a very specific male ideal. Finding someone who looks exactly like that and is a HVM? The chances are slim to none. I'm going to be happy if it ever happens, but it probably won't. So if I date ever again, my focus is going to be value, not my very specific preference. I did the exact opposite until now and my life got almost 100% ruined by piece of shit men and I'm still picking up the pieces. They were exactly my type though, so there's that.

God I wish I was attracted to women! My alternative solution is staying single. If I ever date again, I'm going to follow the handbook religiously, but I have very little faith left in men unfortunately. I'm here mostly because I have lots of experience with shitty men and I want to help spread the awareness on issues like LVM, pornsick men, manipulative men and so on.

I realized that when I felt like most of the guys were dating were good looking but my god they all annoyed me to no end. I donโt know but theyโd always say something stupid or made me questioned how dumb they were or thought I was. I wanted them to shut up. Looks just mean I shouldnโt cringe when looking at you thatโs it. Itโs your intelligence and the way you treat me and others that will let me fall for you. If you have horrible morals and ignorant views of the world and specifically women, I donโt care how well you treat me. I need to be able to have a deep conversation without getting a DAP.
I had to explain this to a male friend, who every time I decided to cut it off with a guy he assumed it was because of his looks or because he was โtoo nice.โ
