Dude, average looking people with compatible personality > sex god looking people with incompatible personality.

I love that I attracted a very nice person and I love that my closest male friends aren't exactly sexy by most standards. Among the best most deep personalities I've ever known.

[sairei.livejournal.com]

Being sexy doesn't necessarily mean that they have bad personalities. Everyone is capable of deep and shallow personalities no matter how they look physically. I thought we just went over this yesterday over the first secret?

[resounding-echo.livejournal.com]

Ever consider that, what society at large might only see as plain/boring/average, might actually be the most lovely/interesting/amazing person you've ever met? And that this person actually thinks the same thing about you?

[(Anonymous)]

Not OP, but I sort of get their point of view. It's often a story about how a good-looking girl will find a guy who may be plain/boring/average-looking but ~amazing on the inside~ and rarely the other way around, and honestly for me, looks are important. Not the most important thing, but they're what will attract me at first. Personality will be what makes me stay.
tl;dr Yeah sure, it's nice to have someone with a nice personality but man, can't a boring girl get it on with a stud who is ALSO pretty nice? /shallow anon is shallow

[saltintheoven.livejournal.com]

Thiiis is basically the exact thing I was going to say.

Call me a romantic, but I kind of think that the whole idea is for you to find your mate absolutely awesome and vice versa, regardless of what anybody else thinks.

[(Anonymous)]

Dude. You seem ridiculously shallow, if you're more worried about the looks of the other person.

The point of the story was that Anastasia, who had been horrible and cruel to people, was able to change, and through it, find someone who liked the real her. Anastasia was never that bad, and he helped her realize that. She was able to realize her faults and work on them. And while he was a baker and not a prince, to her, it didn't matter.

Because in his eyes, she was a princess. And in her eyes, he was a prince.

♥ Agreed x1000

Well OP, there's always plastic surgery...

Hot guys will want hot girls, hot girls will want hot guys. Call me cynical, but it's *usually* how it is.

But seriously, it's not worth it in the end. I'd be lying if I said I'm 100% satisfied with my boyfriend's looks, but I still love him, because he has a wonderful personality and is very considerate, compassionate person. Also, I'm not that attractive either, so who am I to demand looks from him when I'm not a hot babe myself? I realize none of that mattered when you actually love each other.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd be lying if I said I'm 100% satisfied with my boyfriend's looks...

That kind of makes me sad. :\ I'm not faulting you, because you're being realistic and honest. But when I'm in love with someone, no one could be more beautiful to me. The connection we have actually makes the person seem more physically attractive. Of course, then we break up and I'm like, "DAMN. Why was I ever into you?" But! When we were together, I thought my ex was gorgeous and I never would have said I was dissatisfied with her looks. *shrug*

[ceylon-tae.livejournal.com]

Plain/boring/average?

I always thought straightforward/predictable/relateable were good qualities in friends and boyfriends. After that, it's the individual quirks are what's interesting, and OP, everybody has those. Keep an eye out!

[(Anonymous)]

I worry about looks too, but the looks I find attractive are not conventionally attractive by society's standards. And that's kind of the point- everyone is beautiful in someone's eyes and we aren't all attracted to the same thing.

But finding someone boring has nothing to do with how attractive you think they are, if someone is boring they are just boring and you shouldn't be with them in the first place.

[(Anonymous)]

It's always been my pet peeve when people who are less than amazing looking can't stand the thought of being with another less than amazing looking person, just because I find it depressing. It's depressing when amazing looking people do it, too, but in practice, it seems to generate oodles of people chasing after the same one hot person (even when that hot person has nothing in common with those people and arguably nothing else going for them), sometimes ending up bitter (leading to "Nice Guy Syndrome") and I just don't get it.

After many years with the same person, I find appearance matters zip; we're so used to each other you don't think much about the way they look and you see the other person when they're a mess (haven't brushed hair or showered yet, etc.), you'll (hopefully) be with them when they're old and withered...I think those who are just after looks will be disappointed very quickly, and it may even explain why some people feel the need to switch every few months or years to a younger person. I guess if you're just after a one-night stand it's different, but even then, surely there are other factors.

[(Anonymous)]

Whatever, sexy baker man is totes hotter than the prince . . . working up a sweat in the kitchen . . . damn!
Just because you find someone plain/boring/unattractive doesn't mean they aren't gorgeous as fuck to someone else.

i'll just leave this here

[ashley marquardt (from livejournal.com)]

That's a very touching comic. Thank you. ^^

Re: i'll just leave this here

[silver-coins.livejournal.com]

That was amazing, anon. Thank you so much for linking it. Made my day. ♥

[sensualcoco.livejournal.com]

I'd love to see some stories where an average looking girl gets the hot guy. Just because I never see that happen in film. I'm not talking Briget Jones here, because she was absolutely smokin'. The constant ugly dude/hot chick gets on my nerves, it needs to be switched around a bit.

I think Disney has been a pretty even match up with the looks department. The pretty girls got the hot princes. (then again, they're cartoons) And I thought the Anastasia/Baker story was sweet.

But you know, don't invest so much in a story. The character isn't you. Maybe you will land that hot guy. Who knows? The real world isn't exactly like fiction, you get a say in who you date.

[(Anonymous)]

I know where you're coming from, OP.

It's like: Cinderella was the beautiful, kind, loving girl, so she deserved an OMG!PRINCE.

While Anastacia was less kind and less beautiful, therefore she deserved...a average-looking baker. God forbid the not-so-pretty girl ever ends up with someone gorgeous AND with a nice personality. Nooo, if you're unattractive, you deserve someone with equal looks.

[herongale]

Dear anon!OP: please familiarize yourself with the concept "sexy ugly."

It comes up in the movie "Kissing Jessica Stein," and was one of the most useful romantic concepts I've ever come across. Of course there are plenty of beautiful people, and just by virtue of being beautiful they often seem sexy too: it's easy to want to get into the pants of someone with god- or goddess-like good looks.

But when someone is ugly and yet sexy? This can be AMAZING. There are plenty of people who have plain to worse-than-plain looks but who just ooze self-confidence and charisma and charm, and although they might never get called beautiful or pretty or even cute, they still get tons of action because they are, despite and somehow because of their highly individualistic looks, fucking hot.

Trust me, you don't have to be the least bit beautiful to be totally hot. All you have to be is TOTALLY AWESOME ALL THE TIME.

[citrinesunset.livejournal.com]

Been a while since I saw the movie, but I seem to remember finding that guy pretty cute and interesting. Much more than the prince.

But I do see what you mean, and even though I don't see him as particularly plain or average (at least not in a negative way), it bothered me that there could be the implication that you picked up on.

[no-one-specific.livejournal.com]

The way I figure is looks don't last. People age and get scars and their looks fade. Fall in love with what's there. And similarly, looks come. Me, I'm with a guy who's not physically, or pretty, or the type of guy I usually go for, but he's the best person in the world, and that makes him beautiful, in my eyes. I know what it's like though. To be scared that you'll never be worthy of anyone beautiful. It's ok, though. When the right person comes along, you'll see them as beautiful.

[(Anonymous)]

I am not beautiful and I'm not ugly. Maybe cute on a good day, with enough makeup on. And I'm overweight. Still, I always dated really good-looking guys. I mean guys whom you'd turn to look at on the street and think, "Why is he with her?!!?!" My dad asked me once where the hell I found all the muscled guys when I'd never even set foot in a gym. When I introduced my then fiance to my grandpa, he told me he worried that I'd get tired of trying to be good enough for the guy (thanks grandpa!)

I don't agree with those who more or less say you should aim as high as you can reach. Jump a little and aim higher. I love the inside of my man. He's smart and caring and funny and gets me to the point that we just have to look at each other and have a whole convo with our eyes, but if I weren't attracted to him, he'd be my best friend, not my husband.

Cartoons (and movies, and shows) piss me off some times. Why shouldn't Fiona, for example, be a gorgeous princess who still stayed with Shrek? Why should people be matched equally looks-wise? Never think someone is too attractive for you. It's your confidence that will make you attractive, and how you project yourself to others.
