Skeptical of traditionally attractive women?

[Dat Dude]

Is just me or when you a pursuing a women that is traditionally physically attractive, are you skeptical of how legitimately interesting they really are?

I know that has aspects of prejudice, but I've had plenty of experiences where I would be infatuated with an attractive woman and but once I got to know them, they was very one dimensional.

Maybe I'm out of line here in saying that if a woman grew up being considered "pretty" by large, that guys all around them would tell them that they were interesting because they so caught up in their looks. Getting compliments that they didn't deserve, and never putting any emphasis at any self improvement other than aesthetics.

But because I feel that way I really don't mind going out with women that most would consider physically unattractive. For me if their personality is great and they actually bring something to the table in a relationship other than being (and I'd hate to sound crude) hot and having a vagina, then its all that really matters.

Am I way off base here?

What do you mean by one-dimensional?

It sounds like you're assuming that a traditionally attractive woman has no other good qualities for no other reason than that she's attractive. That's a pretty unfair assumption.

/\ that is unfair. I know plenty of "traditionally attractive women" who have great personalities and plenty of ugly people who are just as awful on the inside. it's silly to pigeonhole someone just because of how they look.

It doesn't sound like he's assuming it, it sounds like that's his experience. That said, anecdata isn't the same as real data.

In any case, there are plenty of situations where traditionally attractive people (men and women) also have lovely personalities. There are also plenty of cases where they don't. I think in some of the latter cases, yeah, it's possibly due to being told they're interesting and smart because they're good-looking and buying their own hype. And when unattractive people also have unattractive personalities, maybe it's also a case of buying into what other people have told them, or becoming embittered, or whatever.

People don't fit into neat, big categories, so it's possible that a certain segment of the population fits any psychological profile we could assign. But it's certainly not true of all or most people in any group.
