1) If someone else's life decision doesn't affect your life in any way, and will not potentially affect your life in any way... mind your damn business.
2) Make time for little pleasures. Chocolate, wine, music, friendship, and so on... whatever brings you satisfaction/contentment/peace/etc.
3) Severely limit or eliminate social media. It can be used for good but right now it's so poorly managed that the negatives greatly outweigh the positives.

Curious.

[(Anonymous)]

Would you date someone that the majority of people found unattractive or funny looking or too plain?

Re: Curious.

[(Anonymous)]

Well my longest-standing fictional crush is the Phantom of the Opera, so maybe?

As far as RL goes I hate to say "no fatties," but I'm fat and hate it about myself, along with hairy, so as long as the person wasn't fat or had a pelt (I kill disposable razors), and made reasonable efforts at hygiene and wasn't an asshole, (so not the Phantom, heh) I guess?

I don't really date, but if I did, I'd probably not be expecting to date movie stars, since I'm no prize myself.

Re: Curious.

[(Anonymous)]

Do I agree with those people or are they attractive to me? I'm not shallow enough to care about their opinions, but I'm also not running a charity here. I only date people I'm actually into.

Re: Curious.

[(Anonymous)]

If they're attractive to me, it doesn't matter.

Re: Curious.

[11thmirror]

Probably. My longest-standing crushes were on a friend of my brother who was a very funny-looking guy (gangly, crooked teeth, long nose) and on my highschool bestie who was cute (imo) but not what anyone would call a classic beauty. Attractive people are attractive, but people who are actually *likeable* and whose company is desirable in the long-run are a much nicer prospect.

Re: Curious.

[(Anonymous)]

If someone is really smart, really nice, and generally has values similar to my own, them being plain isn't a deal-breaker at all.

That said, hygiene and a decent level of physical fitness are pretty important to me. Plain, clean, and moderately fit is a very different thing than plain, dirty, and markedly overweight. The latter would be a deal-breaker for me.

Re: Curious.

[(Anonymous)]

If *I* don't find him unattractive or funny looking or too plain, yes.

That's easy because the people around me mostly have a, "as long as they're happy" attitude to couples. Sure, they might say something like, "I don't know what she sees in him" or, "he could do better" but those are idle one-off comments after being introduced, more baffled than venomous, and no one would be tactless enough to say that to the friend's face. I've never noticed that a friend would lose "status" in their social circle when "dating down". In the end everyone just wants their friends to be happy, and if happiness for them is that person, then so be it.

Re: Curious.

Echoing the first poster, and the sentiments of the rest -- there needs to be a spark, and if I find them attractive, then...possibly? Most likely. I mean the last guy I went out with was cute to me, but my mother said he was rather plain looking (and not the best looking out of the guys I have previously gone out with) but he was really sweet etc.

So yeah. But as the first poster said, there needs to be something there -- a spark, a connection, something that makes him attractive to me. Similarly to the poster above me, I think my circle of people will only really care if the guy treats me right and I'm happy. That's generally the case with how we treat each other, and welcome the person into the fold. Comments are only ever made in a "yeah, that's definitely your type" or "ooo he's cute!" No one has ever said to my face "please get your eyes checked".

Personality and values over appearance for me.
