If you meet a girl of ANY shape who is kind, caring, fun to be with, can cook, and is not self-conscious about appearance, what guy in his right mind would care about appearance?
In fact, only the shallow among us care AT ALL for appearance.
Cheers,
I have to disagree. It's in human nature to search for physically attractive females. On the other hand women are those who care much less about looks and more about men's character and behavior.
From what you said, it sounds like you're just not good enough for those that you really find attractive. And then, you convinced yourself that looks don't matter so you can accept whatever is thrown towards you (as well other man are bad and shallow). I mean, no one wants to end up alone, right?
What you could do instead, is try to improve, to become the guy who attracts the attractive women. That's certainly not a fat-smelly guy with a thick neck beard who dwells in his basement whole day.
I just love the people who say "but I'm born this way". No, you're not! You're born to be whatever you want. You're just shaped this way by your environment, and you can reshape yourself as you like, you just have to know how to do it.
I mean you have one life and you should live it fully, unlike 99% of the people.
(as well I blame religion on this, but I won't get into that right now)
I, myself, went from incredibly shy to confident; fat-ish to fit with a lot of muscle (into bodybuilding); learnt to cook; to play an instrument...and a lot of other stuff...all in the past few years. I'm doing this for myself and in return, having a fulfilled, quality life is what attracts beautiful women.
(note: I threw my TV away which gave me a lot of time to have a quality life. Yes, I use computer but only for poker and a few forums...haven't played a game since Diablo 2 (10 years). Guess I'll be playing Diablo 3 tho
)
I hope this poker thing works out so I wont have to spend 8-10 hours a day sitting at work, doing something that I don't really want to do.
On the subject of skinny vs "curvy":
I personally prefer skinny girls. Not just because of their looks, but because it tells me something about her character: that she cares about herself, that shes trying to improve, that shes not a lazy bum who can't be bothered to break some sweat to correct things that are wrong with her...
If a girl have no respect towards herself I won't have any respect for her either.
PS: maybe I strayed from the subject a bit, but I hope that was helpful and that I didn't offend anyone.
