Ok..I hear so many times how a guy thinks he gets rejected because he is a "nice" guy..I love nice guys but I want to be attracted to their "looks" too..I think all of us want that..I've gotten messages from men who weighed 300 lbs and have no decent job and very bad grooming skills but they say they are nice..Ok. Well nice is great but I need to feel attracted to their looks too and admire their other good qualities along with ambitions..I also see men posters who are reasonably attractive have a decent job and they complain friends try to hook them up on blind dates with a girl who is "nice" then meet her and shes way overweight and lives with her parents and guess what? That guy doesnt want the girl even though everyone claims shes nice.
So, why is it that a woman is bad if she wants a man she feels attracted to and gets bashed if she rejects a guy shes not attracted to who claims he is nice? I try to be realistic in my expectations, I dont expect Brad Pitt to come over in a limo and if I want a certain type of man I know I have to present myself on his level too..This is one of my reasons why I try to have good grooming skills and have goals..I hope I dont come across as being mean, I'm just so tired of hearing how women are shallow or bad if we want to feel a physical attraction along with him being a good man? As a woman I can honestly say if a man who had drop dead good looks aproached me and was acting like a jerk I would lose any interest in him at all so the idea that all women like bad men is false..Yes looks to a certain degree are only surface level but we all need to feel a certain amount of attraction first before the other things can grow into a relationship..Just venting here and I know I've chosen a kind of touchy subject but I have to work to keep myself in shape and have goals ect, so why should I or any other woman feel bad for wanting that in their man too?

Swiss, if you changed your idea's of what you are looking for, you would no longer be you.

I know what you are saying and yes, I have been called the nice guy, the gentleman and it really doesn't matter at the end of the day if you don't have that physical attraction to one another.

Sometimes I think maybe I have set my standards to high, but hey they are my standards, I will set them were I want them. We are all here to try and find a match. Be it in this country or a country on the other side of the world. You and I will know when we meet that special someone.

Keep looking and remain who you are and always remember what you want, not what others think you want.

Good Luck Swiss

Damn swiss!! I am down to 275 lbs now!! Don't have to tell everyone about my weight and poor grooming practices!! tongue

And standards are not a bad thing at all. Higher the standards (depending on what they are on) higher the reward, but also higher the patience required. I also think the standards you set for others should at least be similar to those you set for yourself, but that's just my two cents

Don't we do need that " an attraction" well I won't lie if first thing that I see in man is his figure, but then after that not just about his figure, I rather say more about the value or bond that we have.

But the importhat that only you know what's kind man you search just you can feel is he your man or not.

Good luck dear, handshake

As I've always said...Physical attraction isn't everything, but it is something. It is the first spark that starts everything else.

Personally, I think a relationship based solely on physical attraction is doomed to failure. Time/aging will take care of that. A strong relationship is based on being mentally, emotionally and spiritually connected. On the other hand, we are spiritual beings having a physical experience...and the physical cannot be ignored.
