(and girls if they want)
is it true that a bloke makes up his mind whether hes going to
ever fancy a girl in the first nine seconds he meets her?
apparently according to some womens magazine if he doesnt fancy her in the first nine seconds he never will.
so come on then guys what do you say?

What is true is that if you find someone ugly-looking you are much much much less likely to ever get to know them.
Looks are very important as to whether or not you fancy someone. You can love someone's character, but if you think they look like a genetically mutated gerbil, then you won't fancy them.
It's not shallow to judge on looks as to the suitability of a partner- it is human nature. The point is that everyone's idea of good looking is different.
I know that I often determine whether I will like people very early on, but sometimes I start by loathing the person that later becomes somebody I really like.
But it's never bad to make a good first impression.
would you fancy someone who was good looking but a complete twat?
I wouldn't call it shallow, it's just the quickest way to measure up a person to determine if you want to get to know them better if you're on the lookout.
Does that not answer your question?
I've read some womens' magazines in my time and most of them are pretty strange when it comes to describing men. In short, what you said earlier is bollocks.
Indeed.
Oh my goodness, you talk like SG.
Too right.

Never believe what you read in magazines.
No, I have been friends with girls that I haven't fancied in the slightest, only to fall in love with them after a few months or even years.
Just because I don't fancy them the first time I meet them doesn't mean I won't fancy them ever.
:yes:
Magazines, womens magazines in particular, are just so wrong about so much it's untrue. It's a shame so many people believe them. :rolleyes:
Are you joking? Of course people do! Why do you think there are so many "all men/women are bastards/bitches" threads on this site? Or so many god awful chick flicks about women who consistently go out with men who are dick heads?
There is a BIG difference between liking someone and fancying someone! Looks are a powerful factor - it doesn't make a person shallow for being attracted to someone they find good looking!
Conclusion: Definitely wrong
Yeah that's usually the case i'd say. Although not completely true - I once liked a girl i'd never paid much attention to after having a chat. Just sparked a bit of interest I suppose, but generally, it's a case of immediate attraction.
