Whenever my guy friends allude to a woman’s physical traits, I always pay attention to the adjectives they use. It’s interesting to me how the way a woman looks could possibly place her in a particular dating category with them. For instance:
Cute – When guys use “cute” to describe a girl, they consider her attractive like a kitten or puppy. Someone they would probably feel bad for never calling back and would be more prone to want to date long-term.
Hot – This usually means her body shape, cup size, or butt. (or ALL three) is just “hot” to them. This also means that guys probably think of (and want) sex – like immediately. They would REALLY enjoy dating “hot” girls, but it may take them longer to figure out if she has long-term potential.
Pretty – Now, when guys use pretty, there really isn’t a specific formula for what makes a girl pretty. It’s simply not definitive (as far as I can tell). I think it’s because a lot of different things makes a girl pretty: personality, humor, attitude, or “fair of face” (as our reader, abc says) . Some guys think that a cute girl can go to pretty and become even more attractive over time. Pretty girls are ideal for dates because they offer a nice mix of looks and personality. Pretty girls are usually not dumb and score extra points for being sports enthusiasts.
Beautiful – Now beauty is not a term guys throw around easily. It’s usually something deeper, more complex, than any of the above words they use. A guy usually thinks of “beautiful” if they feel something when they lay eyes on her, something that would make them fluster, act stupid, or maybe even blush. When guys see a beautiful woman, she really grabs their attention. These are the women songs are written about (James Blount, anyone?), or inspires poetry, and art.
Guys, do you agree with the list that I observed from my guy friends? Would you add or take away anything?
Ladies, do you think a guy’s looks makes a difference when considering them for dates? Are cute guys in your “friend zone” or can cuties catch your eye for dates too? Have you ever seen a man that took your breath away?
Do you ever think a guy or girl is TOO good looking to date because you think he or she would probably be high maintenence or a player?
Do you think we get hung up on looks a lot in the dating scene? Do we take it too far sometimes?
How can you tell if your date is with you only because of the way you look?
What if you were someone’s trophy guy/girl for dates, would it bother you, flatter you, or not matter at all?
Do you think singles have become a bunch of “looks snob”, not giving anyone a chance because we think they aren’t beautiful enough to show off?
