ugly men want beautiful woman, and vice versa, no ugly person wants another ugly person. I know what you're talking about though heh, "nice guys finish last" isn't always the case. Personally if I girl only likes me for my looks i'd like to know that in advance so I can send her packing. A good personality is a must for me because I'm very picky and I get annoyed easily by silly things

Looks will only take you so far....confidence is what women love. You wanna get chicks? Grow a set of cajones and you'll get all the chicks you want.

It's not the girls I crave, but the attention.

Sigh! Must feel good to be good looking.

plastic surgery. $10k for a new face. eyes, nose, whatever.

another $5k for liposuction if u are moderately fat.

of course if you are obese and look like fat bastard from austin powers, then you are SCREWED. no amount of quick fixes cant help. u gota excercise. then when u are thin enuf, get the plastic surgery

but it's too late for quick fixes if u goto school. u have to do it in june when u can recover during the summer. going to school w/bandages on your face will make u even more dorkier than ever. and even after u take them off and look like tom cruise, people r still going to remember u as the bandage face freak.

and if u r still in school, plan to get it done next june. save up $. talk to your parents. the decades this self esteem boost will help you is REALLY worth it.

and it doesnt matter if u dont know how to talk to girls. u look like tom cruise. there will be enuf girls in the bar/club that will drop their panties for u so it doesnt matter.

remember, u gota be in a place w/alot of girls. odds are that at least one will have sex with u if u r handsome enuf.

Derek Zoolander puts it all into perspective while giving the "eugoogoly" at the funeral of Rufus, Brint, and Meekus - "If there's one thing I've learned from this terrible tragedy, it's that the life of a male model is a precious, precious commodity. Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features doesn't mean we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident."

It isn't just your looks, Tommy, although you are disgusting. It's also your vacuous personality, vain primping and incessant whining.

Well I wouldn't consider my self drop dead gorgeous, but I am good looking, I am only 5"8" so that hinders my performance a bit with the taller girls, but I have no problem getting girls. I think looking good will open the door more, but if what comes out of your mouth is nothing but crap, you will not get a girl, unless she is drunk off her butt. And I happen to come across many drunken girls, since I am part of a fraternity; we get girls all the time. So my advice is to go and join a frat, there is always some girl that is drunk and willing, have you ever heard of beer goggles, ahahah.

I know a few ugly guys that still pick up the chicks quite easily... It's all about confidence and understanding. The only way you can understand girls is to talk to them and gain experience. At first, you'll get blown off.. and you'll soon start to realize exactly what you did wrong each time. Also, the more you get blown off, the better you get at getting blown off.. I've picked up a girl once or twice by getting blown off by another girl. All it takes is one witty comment (keyword: witty) about how you actually made a mistake by talking to her in the first place that makes her look dumb - any bystanding girl will soon be curious.

Also, read 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' by Dale Carnegie. It's a book made to help people with business... but it has helped me with girls so unbelievably well.

Girls are more curious than you think... They don't necessarily want a hot guy.. Face it, most of us guys are good looking. (hehe.. girls need to improve - There's more good looking guys than good looking girls - and girls are 52% of the population) Keep your standards high - and learn how NOT to let a girl know that you want her bad. If you act like a girl is expendable, they usually start to get interested.

It also helps to have a really really low sex drive (my problem).

movie star?

anyways... being good looking alone will not get you chicks... I should know ;-) You will get some attention/glances from girls, or in rare cases girls going up to you but after that its basicly the same for everyone.. confidence/personality etc

Jokes aside, I think there are certain problems in my head that need fixing. Never ever be friends with people who put you down.

I doubt you have to be good looking per se, just do the best with what you've got. i.e., hit the gym, fix your personal hygiene (if something's missing), and possibly change your wardrobe. It'll do wonders for your self-confidence, and remember not to be an a$$hole. That only works for meatheads and only with certain girls.

I know some seriously ugly dudes that manage to get women and guys many women call hot that get shot down. It's all about whether you have game, and that usually boils down to confidence.

You must be pretty shallow to believe your own BS. :p

Yep it's an advantage; but not as much as intelligence or SELF-Confidence (for example). ;)

Looks are only part of the deal as others have said. They might get you to the door but they won't get your through it more often than not. You need confidence and a bit of game to get you the rest of the way there.

I get glances/double takes from chicks all the time but unless you're only after being noticed for being good looking I think you'll find that being good looking isn't quite all you think it is. Don't get me wrong though. I view it as quite an asset and it always has been for me. You just have to know how to use it.

remember, its guys that concentrate more on physical appearance...

whereas its an issue w/ girls, your personality/hygeine/attitude etc go much much further...don't sweat it man..

Good advice: Be clean, be trimmed, wear nice cloths, AND NICE SHOES (women notice shoes) and you are golden (it does help to be over 6', blond, blue eyed, and built ;)

Tell me about it.

I walk around campus with my roommate, and girls are giving him double-takes, often triple-takes - and they're doing it so very obviously!

Standing next to me must accentuate his handsomeness . . . :brokenheart:
