Would you date a minger?

Go out with a person if they had a lovely personality...but they were really unattractive?

I would, I believe you can get used to the way somebody looks if you care enough.

    it depends what you class as a minger!

    but it is the inner beauty that counts!

    but if the person you is with is beautiful then bounus! but it also what you class as beautiful coz everbody is different so how can we compare each other? <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/confused.gif"&gt;

    Yeah exactly I think it just depends on what you think is attractive and what isn't! I've been out with guys too who I thought were well fit and my friends thought they were horrible...and the same with some of my mates boyfriends!

    Everyone has their own ideas on how attractive a person is and just because someone thinks one person is a minger it doesn't mean everyone else does. (i'll keep telling myself that lol.)

    I have. And he didn't even have that good a personality either come to think of it.

    I really don't know what I was doing but, hey, that's life <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;

    So, er, i'd definitly do it again.

    oh yay, a thread where all the sentimental crap about "it's inner beauty that counts" and "looks dont matter one bit to me" spout out.

    maybe it's just jaded old me, but i'm sorry, my definition a minger includes provisions (one of the by-laws, if u like) that i will not date her <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif"&gt;

    or something like that. damn. i think my attempt to stir up trouble failed. bugger.

    but my answer is still no, i wouldn't date a minger.

    isnt it about time to cut the crap?

    i dont see, no matter how great their personality was, how you could luv/love someone and be with them if your mind, your heart and everything else just didnt respond, didn't find them attractive

    if you're attracted to someone, you get attracted by looks etc and not their personality...you may then luv/love someone because of their personality, but how in the world you would have that lust and physical attraction - which is essential for a decent relationship, is beyond me

    i went out with a right ugly girl once, met up with her yesterday after 7 months of not talking (long story about her hating me, and she thinking i hate her). at the time i thought i really liked her and everything, now i look back on it and feel pysically sick, like how could i have gone out with her. she was a nice girl but she is totally not my type and her looks, the less said the better. i put it all down to me being desperate at the time, not because i actually seriusly liked her, but because i just wanted anyone.

    So it is possible to go out with a minger, but i reckon most times its down to just wanting someone, thats why most men get dumped, because a better looking bloke coms a long and tells the girl he likes her and she thinks wow he's better. Of course its the same for blokes dumping girls a lot of the time to. There aint no real reason except they like the fitter person. Anyone hear of a fit person being dumped for a minger, exactly.

    i know everyone here says thayd go out with a minger if they had a wonderful persoanlity and im sure some would, but i cant help but feel if it actually happened, u may actually go for the better person instead. is all about swings and round abouts.

    Personally i have 2 b attracted 2 them PHYSICALLY b4 i get 2 know them. I know it sounds harsh but if i they aren't my 'type' as such then i wouldn't consider being more then m8s.

    Sure if we became m8s & i grew 2 REALLY like them then i might but i can't imagine doin stuff wit sum1 who i consider ugly without imagining they are sum1 else & that is unfair on both of us.

    Just my opinion. <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;

    When people say they dont go for someone just for their looks I think its bollox. Everybody goes for looks at some point...half the time u see someone who u think is nice looking and thats why u end up talking to them...u dont no someones personality untill u have first niticed them and made a decision to get to no them...most people wouldnt even bother if they didnt think the person was attractive in the forst place.
    It is true that u can not be physically atrracted to someone but just be friends and as u get to no them better u like them more based on their personality. Ive had that happen quite a few times and ended up fancying mates that Id never dreamed of wanting anything with at all to start off with.
    As much as its true to say its the personality that counts the most in the long run, its also true to say that its usually a case of thinking someone is nice looking to start with in my oppinion.

    As awful as it sounds, I was not physically attracted to my boyfriend when I first met him. He chased me and I was not instantly caught!
    However, as I got to know him as a person I found myself really attracted to him and once I was attracted to his personality, I developed serious physical attraction. That's the way it worked for me anyway.
    Once, I went out with the most popular guy in the school and looking back it was awful. He knew he was good looking and he knew that people fancied him rotten. It made me feel inferior and I had to take all the crap from his little fanclub of girls for going out with him...good looks are definitely not worth it!

    he he <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt; that`s what happened with my ex. I thought she was really nice when I went out with her (first time I met it was only partial light <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">) but now I have absolutely no idea what I EVER saw in her <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif"&gt;
    I can`t stand even being around her, everything about her quite frankly pi**es me off. I think she`s finally got the message and hasn`t called or txted for almost a week <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;

    if I wasn't physically attracted to the person, I couldn't go out with them because I'd just feel sick every time we kissed! if someone has a wonderful personality but I'm not attracted to them/they're not attracted to me, then it's best just to be friends.

    if someones alright and has an amazing personality, u wud date them - not because of their appearance but because of their personality

    i reckon that you are attracted by looks to start off with and until then you don't know their personality. Ive seen a good looking bloke then thought, my god, you're vile!!! (personality wise) and i couldn't have got away faster!!! Usually the bad good lookign ones are like....whattttttttt duh? or it's all them them them.
    And it goes the other way round!!!
    But i think there must be something for personality now coz loads of ppl get into internet relaionships.

    I know thre are "ugly" gurls wif nice personalities, but most of them are desperate, and it just turns me off. I want sum1 who i find fit and goodlooking, and has a nice personality, however i have never found myself becoming attracted to someone who is overweight. If she was the fittest gurl ever, butr was a bitch, i wouldnt want to know her atall.
    So personality is important, overall but wen i see her, i want to be able to get turned on not puking up everywhere. + if i could (i would never neway) love a fat gurl, i could never have sex wif her because i just wouldnt find her physicaly attractive.

    Time if advancing slowly, feels like crap.

    Love advancing slowly, feels like a eternity diviness.

    Time advancing fast, feels great.

    Love advancing fast feels like an eternity of nothingless.

    Either way ur screwed.

    thats exactly how it happened with my first bf. well kinda... we talked on the internet for 3 months before meeting, and then it was another few weeks before we started going out, and i didnt initially fancy him. i didnt think he was ugly.... just not my type and not someone i would fancy or anything normally. but because of his personality he became more physically attractive to me. i dont think i would find him attractive if i saw him now though, because the feelings we shared arent there anymore.

    but you dont generally flirt with people who youve never met, who you DONT find attractive, it wouldnt make sense. but personality is a LOT more important, and i think once you find someone's personality attractive, their appearance generally follows.

    I agree with a lot of whats been typed, I suppose there are two ways of ending up with someone...

    Physical Attraction - as it sounds, drawn to someone from a looks perspective and gradually get to know the inner persons feelings and either like or dislike these.

    Personallity Attraction - Possibly developing through friendship, you fall in love with the persons views and lifestyle which can later lead to a Physical attraction.

    I suppose the second of the two explains why you sometimes get people where your not sure why you like them but its just something about them... <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;

    Interesting thread....

    I've thought about this in the past regarding my friends, not necessarly GF's, but same same...

    It is funny...I notice that I am very outward toward just about everyone, regardless of looks.....

    NOW, regarding relationships....Face to face, i pick and choose....BUT, after getting to know friends, I often begin to find them very attractive...

    I think it is a package deal in every case...

    I (at least) am never happy with someone who is not at least on my wave length...Regardless as to their external beauty....

    I have always dated bombshell women and girls; BUT, if they had a one track mind or could not hold a decent conversation or were just flat ass boring, it killed it for me...

    Every GF I've had was the result of a friendship that grew...The long relationships were not based on expectations of looks and apperance, but just being a pleasure to be with that person...

    So I guess, I 'look' for the physical but always 'fall in love' with the personality...

    Honestly though, it is not to say i do not still pursue attractive women...I am just constantly disappointed i can not find both qualities in LOTS of the same women...ya know...I am positive this goes the same for the men out there...

    make sence..mabe...

    It does make sense.

    No I wouldn't date a minger, though i find lots of women attractive that other of my friends don't, so it's all subjective really.

    On the other hand, there are women who we can all agree are ugly as Hades, and I will never know just how "nice" their personalities are.

    Hello,

    I'm new here but I had to reply to this topic.
    In reality there is unattractive and v.unattractive.
    Although by no stretch of the imagination could I be called attractive, I don't think that I'm minging (most of the time <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt; )
    You can be unnatractive to the point where no-one will give you a second look. It then does not matter what kind of personality you have.
    As a second point I must say that the majority of the time the attractive people have crap personalities (ie so far up their own arse you can't talk to them or they are incredibly shallow) and the less attractive seem to be more down to earth.

    I have a confession to make on this one, and I hope the rest of u don't think I'm mad/sad, etc. My ex was offically classified as a minger, and to be honest, he was VERY ugly (mousy, clownish hair, big eyebrows, pointy nose, spots). Even my best mate who is really good mates with him said that she'd say he was certainly a minger. One day he started texting me out of the blue, and started flirting (by text). I began to fall for him, and to cut a long story short, I fell helplessly in love with him! After about 3 months he dumped me for his ex!!!! But the reason I fell in love him was 'cos he was the sweetest person I had ever met and had a razor sharp sense of humour and was also very, very clever. When he finished with me for his ex (who, coincidentially is a MINGER - I'm not just saying that!) I was absolutely GUTTED and couldn't eat or sleep for about a month! And I can assure you that the physical attraction was there. The flirting text messages were partially responsible for that.

    Now you're all gonna think I'm COMPLETELY sad 'cos my first love was a MINGER!!!!!

    I studied all about this kinda thing in Psychology (A-level). Basically it is believed that people on a similar attractiveness level are more inclined to date, etc. Which is why I believe my ex dumped me for his ex (they were both MINGERS). Example: have you ever looked at a couple in the street and think, "What on earth is she doing going out with him?" Like one of them is really ugly in comparison to the other one??? I think people must have thought that about me and my ex (sorry if I sound up my own arse, but u should see him!)

    pah, i could explain that without psych:

    ugly peeps can only pull other ugly peeps. u dont see beautiful peeps with ugly peeps, cos beautiful peeps dont go for mingers. simple, really <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;
