Is initial attraction important to men?

[Anonymous]

If a man sees a woman and finds her unattractive, would he choose to go on a date with her, in order to get to know her personality?

Do men give women they find unattractive a chance to get to know them better (i.e personality), or do they only go on dates with women in which there is initial attraction?

As a woman myself, I won’t dismiss a man who I find unattractive, until I find out what his personality is like. Do men think this way?

Just as you shouldn't generalize about men, don't generalize about women.

I'm a woman and would have a hard time going out with a man I had zero initial physical attraction to. There has to at least be SOMETHING there; otherwise it's hard to imagine him being more than a friend.

To me absloutely yes...no way I will f$$ck an ugly chick, especially for the rest of my life locked into a marriage. But I know more than a few guys who have married a women for their resume or professional earning potential. These women were low on the looks dept across the dept. Looks like it goes both ways....men do marry women for $$.

Has to be a physical spark. Great personality isn't going to make up for it if there isn't.

Boredom affects decision making.

Physical attractiveness varies. One person's average is another person's hot. For example, Kate Middleton is objectively pretty but does nothing for me. I like ethnic looking women.

What are his other options? Does he have a bunch of hotties lined up to go on the dating app?

I've always felt this way about Jennifer Aniston.

No, not interested in dating a woman I'm not attracted to.

- A man

Woman here. Same goes for some men for me. I can recognize that they're attractive, but they don't do much for me. Then there are other men who might not universally be considered attractive, but they drive me insane.

Yes, initial (sexual) attraction is absolutely essential to men! The good news is that most men are sexually attracted to most women. So this is a relatively low hurdle to clear.

Why does no one ever ask this question about women?!

Sexual attraction is important to us too!

It's not important to women, women look for caregiver not looks, it's science

Oh give me a break.

As a woman, I 10000% disagree. I assume you also think we're frigid prudes?

Um, no. The science on this is social science, anthropology, specifically. Qualities that physically attract women are thought to be linked to an ability to protect and provide, but physical attraction is a thing.
