Would you date an unattractive female?

I hate to be superficial, but there's this girl I am friends with, but she's not that attractive. I'm considering asking her out, maybe to experiment, but not in the way you probably were thinking of. (If you must know, I've only gotten my tippie toes wet in the water when it comes to dating) Anyway, enough of my anectdote. It's time to hear from GameSpot's finest. Would you date an unattractive female that you've been friends with?

My answer is yes.

Oh no, I just made a "relationship thread". Oh how the mighty have fallen. And apologies for the lack of poll; I've already made one.

Oh, and for those that have dated unattractive females, discuss. Is it any different or do you feel better for being true for yourself and not giving in to superficiality? Thanks and cyber kisses to you all. XOX.

It depends. Unattractive how? I won't date a fat person, I just don't have any inclination. Attraction is a lot of things. Looks, personality, smell (I'm serious).

It depends. Some things I will absolutely, positively, NEVER back down on. I won't date a woman who smells like ****.

Possibly, if we were already friends. By then I would've liked her personality, and maybe we'd be able to take it to another level. But I've never done it, so I can't say for sure.

I would have in the past, now days I have given up on romance and dating, I'll be single until I diedouble_decker

Wait, am I reading your post count right? Over 100,000? :|, you've been here just over 3 years....GTA_dude

I think it's important to be attracted to whomever you are with. With that said, my first girlfriend I did not have an immediate attraction. Over time, however, as I began to know her and appreciate her more, it seems as if her physical appearance got better. I slowly became attracted to her to the point that I still think her to be a beautiful girl, inside and out. I know that is corny and cliche but that is what happened... We broke up several years ago and dated for two btw. Also, aside from becoming attracted to the other over time, being attracted in the beginning is good for becoming interested in the person initially. After that, personality takes over. A bad personality will literally make a person be less attractive as a good personality will make a person be more attractive.mindstorm

Agreed. I tend to give it time before I can if I'm attracted to them or not.

Physical attraction only takes it so far for me, once I see the way the person acts makes it or breaks it for me. she could be the hottest girl in the world, but if she acted like a spoiled, obnoxious brat, I would lose any attraction to her immediately. No doubt I'd date an unattractive woman as long as she has a good personality that co-exist with what I like in a woman. (that being interests, hobbies, etc.) And as Mindstorm said, once your around that person for awhile the physical appearance will either increase over time or maybe even decrease depending on the circumstances.

That said, I have yet to actually experience a relationship with a woman, not even seeking one right now, so it may change later on in life, but I'm gonna stick firmly with the above for now; that overall non-physical attraction is more important than that of physical variety.

So you are going to date someone who you are not attracted to. Why? (btw attractive isn't always physical)

I would never date a person I do not find physically attractive. But then again, there are factors that change that perception, including the persons persona. That is why people say confidence is HOT. I mean, I cant guarantee that the guys I've dated every female species would find physically attractive in the first place ... but I know that I have dated guys I find hot because how they carry themselves changes the way I perceive them.

Physical attributes can not be changed... but the perception you give to others can always be manipulated.

Possibly, if we were already friends. By then I would've liked her personality, and maybe we'd be able to take it to another level. But I've never done it, so I can't say for sure.

No way. It's not that they have to be super hot, or anything but in a relationship thier has to be at least some level of physical attraction. alphamale1989
