Almost everyone is less of a prick than me old boy.
But at least I don't cling to the fact That I have an allegedly hot partner as if is gives my life some meaning.

Knowing one of the ones you've fucked you're not exactly in a position to be judgemental.

so what
does that mean she makes him happy? or makes him laugh? or makes him pleased to be spending time with her, or coming home to her at night? does it make him trust her? does it mean she is clever? does it make her honest, kind or generous?

maybe she does, maybe she doesn't. but these things are important. looks are irrelevant.

au contraire
surely a magic mirror would do the opposite. what would be the point of a magic mirror that didn't perform magic?

Anyone who think looks are irrelevant is daft
Despite me mentioning the book throwing etc online the answers are Yes she does make me happy, and laugh and I enjoy spending time with her and my children and I love them all dearly. She is clever and I trust her, she is honest kind and for the most part generous.

However if she was pig ugly I probably would never have noticed her in the first place. Sexual attraction isn't everything but it certainly isn't irrelevant.
( Peej, Fri 2 Aug 2013, 15:24, Reply)

there is a difference between pig ugly and looks being irrelevant
pig ugly is an extreme. if someone is within normal parameters, it should be all about what they are like as a person.

in fact, the better looking someone is, the worse a person they are, usually. if you want shallow and arrogant, go for looks.

Aren't you the one who's always banging on about AMAZINGLY HOT GUYS all the time?

(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Fri 2 Aug 2013, 15:29, Reply)

in an ironic way, maybe
of my most serious relationships, 2 have been hot, 3 average at best, and 1 downright fugly. it's all about humour and intelligence for me. if they don't make me laugh, it doesn't matter what they look like!

And where does GREGGS HAT fit into that?

(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Fri 2 Aug 2013, 15:33, Reply)

he was fucking hot
but did it make him happy? he spent the entire time whining about how fat he was (he had a 28 inch waist) and how he couldn't work out properly because he had injuries. being obsessed with what can only ever be a diminishing return, whether in yourself or other people, will never make you happy.

that's not to say you shouldn't do your best to look nice and be fit, of course, but it should be a goal not a raison d'etre.

here endeth the first lesson of the book of swipe.

Not 'fucking hot'.

He's from a 'fucking hot' country, that's the the only way I can use that phrase in connection with him.

Define normal parameters.
You said looks are irrelevant. You're either lying or naive.
( Peej, Fri 2 Aug 2013, 15:41, Reply)

4'6 or 300lbs and it would be fair enough
but if someone is normal looking, ie healthy and pleasant, then you shouldn't say, "oooh, i couldn't be with him/her because they're not hot enough for me." similarly if someone is a total cunt but they are gorgeous, that doesn't mean that it's a good idea to overlook their personality defects. fine if there are other good reasons, of course. but not just on looks. that's gross.

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Fri 2 Aug 2013, 15:28, Reply)

it depends how old you are
most people grow out of "must be hot" by about 25.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 2 Aug 2013, 15:32, Reply)

Yeah, good point.
That said I do think physical attraction matters, but as you said, 'pretty' people are so often lacking in anything else. I'll take average looking but good in bed and good conversation any day.

ahem, sorry this is dangerously like a civil conversation, erm...

ALL LAWYERS ARE OVERPAID SCUM AND YOUR FAT AND GINGER!!!!111!
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Fri 2 Aug 2013, 15:41, Reply)

the thing is, your perception of physical attraction varies once you get to know the person
so for online dating or a pub hook-up, it's key, and for a lot of people it won't move beyond the first impression for something so transient. but if it's someone you know through work, or as a friend, or through friends at a party, or your sister in some people's cases, your perception does change. i have so many friends who are blissfully happily married to someone who is the exact opposite of what they think is hot - yet now they'd tell you that person is the hottest person on the planet, and they mean it.

we all know you love a bit of curvaceous ginge.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 2 Aug 2013, 15:44, Reply)

This is very true, meaning I agree whole heartedly
Aad I suppose this means I should stop picking on PJ as he's clearly in love with his wife, a deplorable state of affairs, but forgiveable none the less.

not so much of the ginge....

he thinks she's hot, great, good for him
but if he were saying, she's dreadful and she cheated on me, but i forgive her because she's just sooooo hot, THEN he'd be a dick.
