Do you prefer attractive people?

I realized that most of my friends are good-looking people.

I wonder what that's all about.

Like are their looks part of what attracted me to them as friends? Is it a vanity thing, like I want to be seen with attractive people.

Or are good looks just sort of commonplace or maybe the fact that I like them contributes to me thinking they're good-looking.

Also I know there is more to attraction (plutonic or sexual) than just looks, there are things that people communicate about themselves that let you know that they are so-called 'kindred spirits', people that you might relate with and enjoy spending time with.

Well my introspection is at a standstill right now (though I do know that as honest as I try to be with myself, vanity is one thing I tend to lean toward denial on).

So what do you guys think?

Are your friends attractive?

When you meet new people do you gravitate toward attractive people?

Do you prefer to interact with attractive people?

Do you think you blow people off that aren't attractive?

Any thoughts welcome

 

Mine is in full effect. I have been seeking solitude relentlessly; as she is both my diva and muse.

So, in a way, my answer to your question is, Yes.

 

Everyone is attractive to someone. And I think we would all rather interact with someone we found aesthetically pleasing than not, if given the option.

But I don't much care about the appearance of my friends. Attractive or not, it is not their appearance that appeals to me, it's personality and chemistry. In many cases, I find, attractive people are bland and boring, and often high maintenance.

In general, I react more favorably to someone who looks good to me than someone who doesn't, but at the end of the day, it's all about who and how they are, not how they look.

 

I tend to hang out with the ugliest people I can find that way I look that much better by comparison.

 

I agree, I like to date attractive(to me anyway) girls , but for more serious dating stuff or close friends, I don't care so much, it is about personality and so on, especially with friends, I don't care how ugly or good looking a friend is if they are cool and have a personality that is cool , and they have some mental skils and like to talk about shit that Joe College would not get, or care about talking about, ya know, not some frat house, I'm driving a new car/SUV, I'm so cool and rich(living off daddy and mommys money) and only have time for cool people who like to act like idiots and get super drunk and puke all over and so on..lol..those types of people I do not like, and I got nothing against frat members or anything, it's just the spoiled,think they are better than everyone else ones I don't like!

 

When I make new friends obviously there has to be something that attracts me to them that wants me to interact with them. I certainly don't blow people that look unattractive to me off, unless they stink (literally) or something.
I have both friends that seem attractive and unattractive to me, I would not dare to think I'd judge my friends because of their (un)attractiveness really. It's also cool to have a few very different peeps than yourself as friends, but basically to like each others company there has to be some kind of platonic attractiveness anyway.

 

lol

 

My best friend was the most beautiful person I've ever met. That being said, the rest of my friends are usually either on the plain side...or bordering on flat out ugly. I have some friends who are cute, I guess, but some of them in a weird way. I'm mostly just attracted to people who have similar tastes in humor as me. As long as you laugh at the same kinda stuff I laugh at, we'll get along just fine.

 

ive never really paid attention to the attractiveness of my friends

i do notice most real life friends are way older than myself..I wonder what thats about

 

I don't usually hang out with people based on looks alone. I wouldn't hang out with someone if they had a chronic stink, though. And those people who get that weird skin thing where those wart-type things grow all over their faces and flake off...I'd be friends with them, but I'd never invite them over to flake all over my house

 

My two best friends are unattractive.

I prefer looking at attractive people, but personality and how well we compliment each other is what decides whether I befriend them.

 

I tend to just hang around anyone who is still breathing mostly.....;-D

 

you do?!

Who hangs out with people that breathes anymore? FREAK!

:tongue:

 

Ha! Sound philosophy.

One of my friends had a wart on her toe that she was treating so the skin was all peeled away and the wart was all exposed. She ended up walking across my bed barefoot... I was cringing, but I still like her.

 

yeah on the toe, that's normal. I had a customer who had them all over his face...at least I think they were warts. Whenever he left, I had disinfect my desk repeatedly to get all the dead skin/wart jizz off it...so awful.

 

I prefer my friends to have tits.

 

I have a few my own age but they're hyperactive, strange creatures, always talking about music and drugs. I prefer spending time with my older friends.

 

I totally miss my friends. I left them in the midwest...

My friends back home are all people that I've known for years and they're beautiful and I'm crazy about them. We'd laugh like crazy and debate and get wasted and open up to each other and tease each other and love each other.

Now I have to start from scratch meeting people, first being attracted to them, then opening up communication, then letting them see a little bit of how weird/lame I am and seeing a little bit of how weird they are, then deciding if we like each other and want to see more of each other's weirdness...

It took me my whole life to find a handful of people that I was madly in love with.

 

attractive groups = cunts

simples.

 

I dunno, the attractive groups with a token ugly member always come off so much worse to me.
