@OmSigDAVID,

But if all men look equally nauseating you could look neither better or worse that any other. It is your thought than men might be good looking that is confusing you. It is probably a product of the male fashion industry which is coming more and more into vogue these days. A perusal of a top-of-the-range Y-fronts catalogue should clear it up for you.

Good looks in men is so overrated. A good soul with an agreeable personality, great humor and who knows how to keep a woman happy is worth so much more than a self centered but handsome man.

If a man has an ugly personality, in one's mind he will look ugly soon - no matter how attractive his physical appearance might be.

It is not equal. I might add, that altho since age O, I have never liked my looks,
there have been occasions when I have thought about some guy:
" jee, at least I don 't look THAT bad. "

Well, at least I can control THAT; I have done so. Many decades ago,
I drew up some sartorial desiderata which I present to my tailor
whenever I have a new suit made. For many years, I have worn vested wool suits
of identical sartorial architecture, so that thay look the way I have chosen
and every day I know exactly where in my suit each article of my property
(e.g., wallet, calculator, keys, credit cards, spare keys and emergency cash, etc.) is situate.

So far as social relations are concerned,
u probably don 't get much of a start with the ladies
( not referring to the gold diggers here ) if u don 't look good.

@CalamityJane,

Most women are more attracted to a man's intelligence followed by his wit. I only brought up looks because Ionus described H2O as handsome . . . and I find men's descriptions of other men as rather mysterious.

My ex would often point out men on television and remark on their good looks. More than once, his compliments were aimed at a man I either found impossible to look at or a man I felt could have a complex about his appearance. The boyfriend I alluded to was often surprised to learn that women regarded the looks of certain men rather highly. I used the word heart throbs not because I was aiming at People Magazine's 100 Most BEautiful but because there were times when we were in groups and two or three women raved about a man's looks and he would say something like, "he has a fat face."

Good grooming is attractive, as are well cared for and nicely fitted clothes.

I remember the two most well-tailored suits I ever saw. The first was in Winchester, MA where I used to live. I was in a woman's shop, just browsing and a man came in to buy a birthday present for his wife. Both the owner of the shop and I immediately noticed his suit. The fit was impeccable and there was a little half cuff on each sleeve that was neatly presses and held down with a small button. The suit was a dark, rich shade of charcoal and had the faintest pin stripe I ever saw. We were immediate and spontaneous in our compliments.

He said he bought the suit on Carnaby Street in London when he was a Rhodes Scholar.

The second was a navy pinstriped suit with a full cut chest and rather wide lapels worn by a older man crossing a street in Paris while my daughter and her friends and I were having the obligatory after landing breakfast at Deux Magots. The girls were all 19 and 20, three au pairs and one American doing her junior year abroad. I watched the man cross and said to them, "Look as his suit." They agreed it was beautiful but said that while suits of that quality were not common, that one saw them about once a day.

@OmSigDAVID,

Yes, thank you; please send me exact info re 19th by e-mail as am leaving tonight for 10 days and can't login (or access IMs) from overseas.

Meanwhile - Ms Olga was prophetic when she confidently predicted trouble will follow on this thread: on the previous page, Ionus jokingly posted about himself that he's handsome. Some subsequent posters misunderstood his post as referring to H2O; neither has ever seen the other, or has ever expressed the least interest in some other man's attractive looks. Expect fireworks the moment either of them shows up - they both have very short fuses Smile

...and that's not the only thing they have in common. That's why I chose
them as a "couple". Very Happy

I don't care how either one of them looks, here we have
to go by personality only!

A fat face is bad.

Will u agree that (a young) Sean Connery and Simon Baker are good ?

@OmSigDAVID,

Well, the man in question does not have a fat face. He is handsome, talented, thoughtful and intelligent.

Why is it important that I agree on Sean and Simon? I'm not certain who Simon is . . . the Australian actor currently playing in some detective series?

We all know your heart belongs to squinney but a little day dreaming is nice. Let's hear from squinney about her fantasies.

Yes; The Mentalist. Simon Baker. Give him a Google.
The reasoning is to get a version of female perception of esthetics.

Note: I do n 't want u to AGREE; I want u to reveal your opinion, pro or con.

I have no knowledge of what makes a man handsome though I can regularly get it right if a man looks fit and strong. Just had a quick check and yes I am a man. Those details were a description of me, it being implied that he cant be similar to me because only one man would have all that....lil' ol' moi !! Very Happy

(I joke)
