Is it normal to not date a man if he isn't attractive enough?

"What do you think about this?"

That it's normal. Were you asking because you thought it would be shallow to be this way? Because it's not. -If- appearance was all you cared about in spite of a shitty personality, then that would be frowned upon by everyone and perhaps even labeled as shallow.

Even then, who cares? I mean you're only 24 --according to your profile-- and it's not like one can change who they're sexually attracted to. Feel free to date whoever. And even if you -were- 5/10 in looks and wanted a guy with good looks+personalities, that's -still- fine. Sure, then it may only further decrease your pool but you'd need a hunk of courage and resilience, but still nothing hypocritical about it.

Bottom line: there's nothing wrong with being picky, as long as you realize and accept the fact that there'll be slim pickings.

I have higher standards than physical appearance. Still however, no fat pigs, and no self-absorbed women with no sense of humility.

Honestly, my biological urge towards women of physical beauty often times eludes me. My rational mind looks at these arrogant bitches with disgust, my irrational mind lusts for them.

Fortunately I have the will power to roll my eyes and walk away.

But romantic feelings between two people come about because of sexual attraction among other things. I don't see how you could get into a genuine (romantic) relationship without a sexual attraction. So you know some guys who are nice and funny etc. so what? Romantic relationships are something special, not just a friend you sleep with.

I wasn't attracted to my husband when i first met him. But the more I got to know him, the more beautiful he became. And men age well. When he is freshly showered and well dressed, he is quite handsome. And when he isn't, I still want to rip off his clothes because I know where that leads and I know how much fun it is.

I think it's totally natural to prefer people one finds more attractive. But, if he comes along, try not to miss out on the less attractive guy who would be a great friend, companion, husband and who may be an awesome lover.

its normal guys dont expect you to have sex with them unless theres mutual attraction, and thats something that cant be forced, so just stay friends if thats your thing

The way you have put it makes it irrefutable but I believe I'm sapiosexual that puts me at the opposite side of your spectrum.

I think it's pretty normal. Although, I've noticed many women seem to be more attracted to personality than looks. In general, women seem most attracted to confidence. For example, you can be a good looking guy, but if you come across as unenthusiastic it's probably going to turn off a lot of women. On the other hand, if a guy isn't great looking, but very charismatic, then I think he will be more attractive to women.

Even though I'm male and you're female, I look at it the same way as you. There has to be some kind of physical attraction there. With that being said, I still value personality higher than looks.

this is so me, I am very picky. There is a guy who I connect with on every level, he has a beautiful soul but I can't be with him because I'm not attracted to him, not even in the slightest bit. I can't picture myself sleeping with him because there is no attraction from my end... nothing.. zilch though he'd make a great boyfriend because we connect emotionally.

Looks fade and bodies age. If you choose your mate by these criteria, then perhaps half your life will be spent with someone who you can't copulate with, or alone.
I feel sorry for you.

I think that you are subconsciously afraid of having an ugly baby.

You know, I often hear this from women that expect or only feel attracted to men above their scale in physical attractiveness, which perhaps may be why you have such a short dating amount available to you.

Personally, I'm the same...Ish. I'm just fortunate enough to be attracted to people who are lower on the scale in everyone elses eyes all while the ones they have high on the scale are lower on mine. That mixed with my appearance, I'm pretty fortunate.

What would you rank yourself out of ten? A picture would be prefered. Just curious before I give advice.

it's normal for the callous and self-absorbed. It's pretty unusual for people with a developed sense of decency.

You cannot live off of beauty, attractiveness is for the bedroom as long as a man has financial stability and commonsense that's more important than looks. money pay bills, looking good is only for sex.
