Seems pretty obvious to me..at first a guy is attracted to a womans looks. But pretty soon, the personality will often disqualify them.
A compatible personality is definitely,the most important thing. |

Either 1) she doesn't show interest.. or has a standoffish personality.
or 2) her personality somehow doesn't gel with your own so well - she complains too much, or whines, or has some characteristic that puts you off.

| Maybe because the "6" speaks English and none of the "9"s seem to? |

It's unfortunate that when a girl is smoking hot, men often believe that she's cruel and/or stupid; maybe it makes us feel better for knowing they're out of our league.
Ironically, sometimes I feel sorry for really, really pretty girls. Decent men are afraid of them, and the arseholes won't leave them alone. No wonder they are often such screwed up people.

| Well, my Korean boyfriend tells me I am beautiful but I guess I am not beautiful enough for him to call me everyday. I used to work with a big gal whose boyfriend called her everyday and more than once. I do so much for this guy. I am the one who calls him and sends him messages first. I am nice and a good cook. I guess I just have bad luck. I work with a married lady and her HUSBAND even calls her all the time and my boyfriend won't do the same. Beauty, brains or personality sometimes means nothing. My boyfriend treats me very well but the phone call situation is getting me thinking he's just not that into me. No man is too busy to call like many women say to themselves and their friends. Unless of course, he's the president of a country or an astronaut. That's what the guy who wrote that book said. |

Maybe that's why I attract the arseholes. Arsehole Korean men like petite white girls, for a little while anyway... |

Hello Mr. Bulsajo. Are you attractive? I think you are a big fat white guy I used to work with and your wife is Korean and from what I heard other folks we worked with did not like her... |

| Richard Gere cheated on beautiful Cindy Crawford with Uma Thurman so pretty gals have men troubles too, Dogbert and Bulsajo. Some of us just attract guys who don't call enough...My boyfriend is great except for the phone calls. |

Talking on the phone is boring. I hardly ever call and I always make phone calls end asap when she phones. |

Hey! Overweight foreign guys are people too. I may be overweight but I am not without feelings, nor do I not know how to be caring, loving considerate and as passionate/gentle/beautiful as thin local guys, or for that matter, thin foreign guys. In the words of Shylock...if you cut me do I not bleed?
I understand that you weren't addressing me specifically, but your use of overgeneralization is unfounded. Also, you are right that I didn't date back home, and I haven't dated here either. But that doesnt mean I am not worth dating. Some day, some woman will find this out.

To the OP...maybe what you consider an 8 or a 9 is really a 4...I think it's impossible to be honest about ourselves because...
1) either we don't want to seem egotistical to ourselves, so we convince ourselves that we're not as attractive as we really are...
2) or we greatly inflate our value because the face that we've seen in the mirror every day is going to be the one that we compare all others too...
and princess....why does he need to call you every day? why don't you just hang out together every day? or you call him...if he's a Korean guy, then he won't mind you calling him....he probably doesn't want to see you every day, though, as relationships here seem to be more of the once or twice a week variety. |

No it doesn't sound like we worked together at all....
unless you are that ugly psycho from 209-712 who got kicked out of the Gaepo-dong branch for abusing students. |

Princess,I think Bulsajo was addressing that remark to ME,since it was me(the OP) who started the post about "men and attractive women". Note,that he spelled "princess" with a small "p".So,don't take his remarks personally.
To Bulsajo: Yes,I'm attractive.Lots of people have told me so,including guys.I've had a number of boyfriends,who were very serious about me.The problem is that I haven't been able to attract those that I was interested in. I know quite a few attractive women who have this problem,and it's not because they're b**ches,they're very nice,decent individuals,they're just either shy or just don't exude "sexual" vibes. |
