I have known quite a few women to not date a guy because he was short stacked in the penis department.

But in the back of their head they'll be thinking "I can look less ugly by standing next to that person"

I always said they weren't until I met a girl I liked who I couldn't get it exited for... that way....

inside = 60~70%
outside = 30-40%

I don't think I can date a girl that's ugly. I don't think I am shallow either.

I had a very clear 'disapproval' of overweight women when I was really young..and it seems to have stuck with me for the past 15 years or so. So...I'd have to say yes.

"My teacher says that it's what's inside that counts."
"That's just what ugly peoplesay."

:cookie: for reference. :p

:music:If you wanna be happy
For the rest of your life,
Never make a pretty woman your wife,
So from my personal point of view,
Get an ugly girl to marry you.

Really seems to depend on the person. I never realized how completely into looks/social status so many people are until I started reading boards like this one. I hold out some hope that it's just a bunch of freaks talking out their butts, but who knows.

That being said, I don't see how you could have a relationship if the two people involved don't find each other at least somewhat attractive. With no attraction there'd be no sex, and with no sex, well, *shudder* that just doesn't even need to be considered. The key is that different people find different things attractive and/or unattractive.
