    Pretty/Ugly Fake
    Ok, so we have all seen those fake, blonde, tall, skinny, tanned girls with tons of makeup on that are "goregous." And sometimes, those girls are not pretty at all. No offense to anyone. But why is it that just because some girls dyes her hair blonde, tans so much she looks orange, and applys 3 pounds of make up on, that guys think she is sooo hot. Now don't get me wrong, some of those people are pretty, but for the ones that aren't it just seems that if they have all the qualities listed above the are automaticaly "hot".

    Women are sometimes viewed by men as a trophy, and for sake of "braggin" rights, we will sometimes date an intellectually challenged, although viewed by society in general as beautiful, woman. Beauty is skin deep, we all know that, but society in general projects upon us the image of the "perfect" woman, and some guys tend to look at that as a plateau, and disregard everything else that goes into making a woman truly beautiful.

    It is the objectivity of humans, breaking females down, to objects, and going from there.

    Personally, I prefer a brunette anyway, but that is just me. It isn't the gals faults that they have so many models and magazine covers to compete with, and it isn't the guys fault that we have it rammed down our throat to the point of being judged otherwise if we don't date someone that looks like that...

    Depends on how shallow people are... you can spend all the money in the world to enhance your outter beauty, but nothing you do changes the amount of goodness and character that lies within. As they say, looks can be deceiving... so, don't always throw caution to the wind.

    You know, blonde-haired girls aren't the only type of women men are attracted to.

    How about...

    A woman with ivory colored skin and freckles sprinkled on her tiny nose and cheeks. Her eyes are the color of emeralds and her hair is a lucious red.

    Or a woman with curly hair that is the color of chestnuts and her eyes remind you that of a fall day.

    Or a woman with ebony black hair and her eyes are the color of the deep ocean. Her lips are that of a red licorish; someone like Snow White.

    Every man has their own preference when it comes to "hot." I believe that it is false of you to say that all blondes are automatically labeled the hotter of all women.

    Men like confidence in a woman. When you have confidence, you shine!

    Sure a woman may be attractive because she has looks, but in order for a woman to be "hot" to me, she has to have brains, sense of humor, respect, self esteem and confidence.

    I would take dating a average girl(looks wise) who has a great personality over a "perfect 10" who couldn't tell you who won the United States Civil War.

    Honestly though, boys, this can be swung the other way, too.

    Some guys think that if they look like an A&F model they will get any girl. THey think that if they have the body, the looks, the perfect hair, the sparkly smile, that they own the rights to every female and are God's gift to a woman - any woman.

    That doesn't cut it for me. A picnic on a Civil War battlefield? Perfect first date. :) With extra coffee, of course! ;)

    It's more important than looks, I'll admit that. However, there has to be some sort of physical attraction between two people at first.

    Let's be realistic here.

    That is understandable. I think the issue here is that every person has THEIR OWN opinion of what "hot" is... you know? I think a lot of women are hot that some of my friends don't really feel the same way about...

    Sounds like a rodeo clown.

    The one girl that I can think of that fits your description is drop-dead gorgeous. She is a 10, she is blonde, doesn't wear much make-up 'cause she doesn't need to, and dresses real nice. But, she is one of the shyest people I know and she's pretty boring to talk to. It's not the cute shy, it's the "I really don't wanna talk to anyone" kind of shy, so it's a bit weird. I was pretty surprised when I first met her, I wouldn't expect a girl that beautiful to be so quiet.

    There are certain men that think that women who will open their legs or mouths for any guy are hot - - - - that doesn't mean that they are.

    God didn't make no ugly people so every one is hot to somebody.

    I suspect the OP is jealous of the attention she thinks those bleach blondes get.

    Its one thing to say someone is hot, and quite another to really care for them.

    Which would you rather be Hot, or loved?

    I have a friend, the blonde, tanned TOO often, thin, fake nails, that cheats on her husband daily by being willing to s--k anything. She isn't pretty but she gets plenty of attention from men anyway.

    I have a male friend when we were talking about her that said that to be honest the world needs c--ks--kers in it and it makes him just happy she is around.

    It was pretty funny but you had to be there probably. There are definitely reasons that everyone will appeal to someone.

    Let me throw in my two cents on this one, as I know exactly what the poster is talking about here. These kinds of women are a by product of our society, the degradation of men and their pride. They know that they are desired and wanted, and act very mean, lewd, rude, stupid, and often cheat and try and put their men on a leash.

    I believe its our fault (men) for letting these kinds of women behave this way. If we dumped them and put them in their place, this kind of behavior would stop. Of course, with the feminist movement men have lost their pride and ability to stand up for themselves a lot of the time.
  • Jan 30, 2009, 08:07 AM
    slapshot_oi

    I forgot to mention that all men and women like the poster is talking about are rarely respected. They're blatantly conceited and all of it is phony. Someone that self-absorbed is trying to convince him/herself and others that they're really beautiful, tough, whatever the case may be. People who actually believe they're gorgeous won't say anything.

    They'll just have people walk into their lives that use them over and over. They aren't nearly as happy as they make themselves out to be just because they're not satisfied with their true-self. Being one of them actually sucks.

    I too have to throw my 2 cents in... mostly because I have some topic related stories...

    A friend of mine told me about a conversation she had with her boyfriend a year back, when she said; honestly what do you think about the fact that my boobs arn'r, you know exactly big... and he said, well if you were some girl I was going to have a one night stand with then I'd go for the fantasy... blond hair, big boobs and a tan... but you're the dream, your smart, we share a sense of humor and you're beautiful (not kidding real conversation.. whether boyfriend told the truth not sure, but he did save his bottom ;))

    But as for ppl/guys or whom ever labeling those girls and those types of guys as 'hot', well... I don't really think all people label those types of girls as hot, I know quite a lot of guys (early 20s) who have a WHOLE OTHER range of words for them... none of them nice, besides it depends what type of person you are yourself... like most people in here have all ready said, we all have a type that we are attracted to...

    Personally I've never been attracted to a type of look, what they all had in common,is a personality I like, a sense of humor that I love and that little special thing that grabbed my attention.

    People with confidence is always hot, someone who is sure about themselves, and who are comfortable in their own skin... And not about where you can place them on a scale from 1 to 10. ;)

    Beauty is only skin deep. I work at a school ages 6-16 (1st to 10th grade) and when ever I see young girls falling into the HOLE of thinking that looks is all that matters, I just find it really sad, B/c in the end its not your looks that'll make you happy is it?

    And our society has become like that, always striving to be something or someone that is seen as GREAT, or hot or what ever it maybe.

    Like Tal said, isn't it better to be loved?

    When it comes to people who tell you you're hot or pretty or what ever, I find that such a compliment, just feels a whole lot better when it comes from someone who is close to you... and why strive to be hot, when you can be YOU for you and not a label. Besides, when it comes from someone you know they know you and all of you is included... they don't think you're pretty because they passed you on the street but because they know you as a person as well...

    Oooo a story about looks; lol the worst pick up sentence a guy tried on me was;

    Seriously, you are so pretty, you have great hair, beautiful eyes, you're practically perfect!!! You just need some bigger boobs and you will be.:rolleyes: :p LOL just had to throw that in there ;) The funniest part was him actually thinking that he could get me to go home with him after saying that, like appealing to my vanity would help him achieve his goal... when I'm the sort of person who actually laughed in his face and walked away... (and yes, turned it into a joke)

    Like slapshot said, I do people who strive and strive to be hot just end up cheating themselves, why not find something worth striving for, something that won't fade that easily?

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
    I for one find nothing attractive about the blond-haired bimbo type with spray on tans.

    Then again I hardly find anyone really "attractive" unless I'm actually falling in love with them. Nobody is ever as attractive as the woman you love. At least that's how it's like for me.

    I had to highlight that last characteristic Tal, as you are now referring to every female there is...

    On the other side, this is correct. I find myself being attracted to every type of female you can think of. Sometimes it is their personality that I am enamored my, sometimes it is their looks. It all just depends. As for the females that think they are "God's gift," well, that is another story. Those types are just simply fun to mess around with just to put them in their place...

    Yes, I am bitter from time to time.

    Easy... I was actually doing that more for laugh than anything. You seem like a very well put together woman, inside and out, so I didn't mean to offend. Sometimes I make comments on this board for mere laugh...

    As a guy, with plenty of guy friends, I can say with absolute certainty that the best guys (the top 25%) are definitely interested in more than thin, bleach-blond bimbos.

    I just scanned over the other answers and I agree with most of the posters here.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
    Hot.. is the whole package.

    You know you guys said it.

    But I think that truly these girls are just insecure about their appearance so they cover it up with fake bake and make up. It's all a mask. So next time you see them try to see if it's just a scared girl underneath all of that.

    By the way the OP never said anything about these girls being stupid for the posters that said stuff about that, just because you have blonde hair and big boobs doesn't mean you have air for brains.
  • Feb 2, 2009, 09:49 AM

    I think it goes a long way in saying that none of us should feel confident enough to EVER call someone ugly. A poster said, on the first page, that people are attracted to all kinds of different people. I am totally humble when I get a compliment from a girl, whether I find her attractive...

    No one is ugly, and I don't care how good looking you think you are, you don't have the right to call someone else ugly. I am a pretty good looking guy, but didn't get a lot of girls to like being around me because, at one time, I lacked any real self confidence. I can tell you, now that I have some self confidence, it makes a world of difference, as it projects from the inside out...

    In my 38 years experience on this earth (no comments KC;)) I've learned a few things, here's a few of them.

    The girl with the bleach blonde hair, fake tan, lowcut shirt and fake boobs is usually the girl with the least confidence in herself.

    If you're looking for substance, go up to the girl sitting at the bar, talking to everyone there, wearing jeans and a sweater. Really, that's the girl who will get the guys, every single time!

    The more someone pays for their outward appearance, the more insecure they are about what they have to offer, they're hoping that no one will look deeper. It's like shining a light in someone's eye, you're too busy concentrating on the light to notice that everything else is dim.

    I find it sad that so many younger girls think that their appearance is all that matters. I can promise you one thing, at 70 years of age, those bleach blondes aren't going to be so hot, and unless they have something else to offer, they'll die without a partner, just their 30 cats and a goldfish.

    Find the light within, it always shines brighter!

    So true Alty! And so well said!

    My experience is that as well.

    And as for young girls, like a said in a previous post, I work at a school, and I see a lot of young girls who seem to spend a lot of time on their appearance, and the way they act... its like dense is the new clever, and the dim is the new smart. Its sad is what it is.

    As for the girl in the jeans and the sweater! Heck yeah!

    So true, in fact, I was hanging out with a girl like that last night. Unfortunately, she is the girlfriend of a good buddy of mine. Aside being very whiny, needy and treating him like garbage, she is constantly judging people on looks alone.

    If she didn't find me attractive she probably wouldn't be my friend, and I think she's only my friend just to use me as leverage against her boyfriend to make him jealous (she's brought my name up in a few fights they had... yeah, she's that bad). She's one of the girls featured in movie Clueless. I've never seen her without a low-cut shirt.

    There's nothing to her beside her looks, and I know first hand she makes a terrible girlfriend. She's only in a relationship now because she knows that her boyfriend won't leave her.

    I have a humorous story for this one...

    It all happened on a dark and stormy night... lol. Actually, literally. I was in a Barnes and Noble, waiting for the release of a book (a book that shall remain unnamed, simply because at my age, waiting for said book *could* be taken as childish! ), as I was waiting, I bought myself a nice large coffee and went to have a seat in my favorite section - US History. Mind you, I have almost every book EVER written about Andersonville Prison - including the diary of my great, great great, Grandfather... a prisoner and survivor - and was quite enthralled with a book that I hadn't seen before. I was sitting on the ground in front of the Civil War section, completely enthralled with this book, my coffee and pink cell phone sitting right next to me... as well as my cute little Coach purse and pink leather jacket.

    So, the stage was set. I'm sitting there, minding my own business, when some JERK stood over me and impatiently cleared his throat. I didn't look up because I was, well, because I was lost in the book. He cleared his throat again and made his shadow fall over the book - stupid man. I looked up, and said, "Can I help you?" He laughed and said, "You're in the way."

    At that moment, all the Barbie, Jessica Rabbit instincts in me shot out, I stood my jean clad, Barbie figure up, looked him straight in the eye (since I had my heeled boots on, we were the same height), and said, "EXcuse me?? I was reading."

    He did the up-down, and said, "Well, haha, you're in the WRONG section. This is history."

    (I was getting a little bit upset at that point)

    I replied, "Yes, SIR, I know."

    He stepped back, did another up-down, and said, "YOU are into CIVIL WAR?"

    I said, "But of course, SIR. This Barbie has Brains." And took my little Barbie self, my stack of civil war books, and my cute accessories over to the World War 2 section, where a chair was just opening up. I did an extra little "hip swagger" just for him... the man that was scraping his chin off the floor.

    It was great.

    It's biology, there are proven studies on it and everything. Men really are more sexually attracted to blondes (in general). This is because women's hair darkens as they get older so men evolved to want to mate with the lighter haired women as a means of bettering their chances at healthy offspring. Younger women are more fertile. And as far as make up goes, it often shows youth too. As piggish as a lot of men are about these fake girls, they really can't help a lot of it!

    I love it when men assume that because you're pretty you must be dumb as a post.

    Ah the stories I could tell, too many to post here. I really should write a biography, but I'd have to do it under a fake name. ;)

    My favorite memory was in high school. We were finally offered a German 10 course in grade 10, so I decided to take it in lieu of french, after all, I already speak German, it was an easy A (okay, not showing my intelligence here, or am I?)

    Anyway, the teacher was new, young, motivated and overly confident. He swaggered up to the black board and wrote down a sentence in German. He turned to face the class with this self satisfied little grin on his face and proclaimed "I guarantee that you will all be able to write in German by the end of this semester, I know that it seems impossible now, but under my instruction you will learn!"

    I raised my hand and when he called on me I explained to him that the sentence he had written on the board was incorrect. He glared at me and said "I don't think that you have any right to question me, I am the teacher, you are the pupil, you're here to learn German, and until you do I suggest you keep your opinions to yourself."

    I raised my hand again, and this time I told him how to properly write the sentence. He turned bright red, "young lady, I have taken 3 years of German in college, I think I'm a bit more knowledgeable then a 10th grade girl, so you just sit your pretty little self down and leave the teaching to those that are smarter than you".

    Okay, I couldn't that let that go "Um, sir, I was born in Germany, english is my second language, so, even though your 3 years of german study is impressive, I've been studying it since I was born, so, you might want to listen to me, unless of course you want to teach everyone how to speak German incorrectly."

    Ya, I got kicked out of the class. Me and my big mouth! :(
