To guys, ever had a gf na hindi ka ganun ka nagagandahan?

[GreenArcher]

i think na kung naging gf mo siya at minahal mo talaga siya tapos sinabi mo na hindi siya ganun kaganda parang naglolokohan lang kayo ng sarili mo. in the first place, you saw her as the one you will truly love and treat her as the most beautiful woman pero kung hindi pala siya maganda para sayo so ibang reason kung bakit mo siya linigawan. Pwede naman hindi ka nagagandahan sa looks pero nagagandahan ka sa ugali may case din na ganun haha depende sa tao

Another thread na gusto ko buhayin. LOL. I want to comment kahit girl ako.

Tingin ko sa mga guys in general visual eh. Kahit basura personality ni babae, maliligawan pa rin iyan basta maganda siya. Kahit prostitute pa yan o dating porn star, basta iyong looks pasok sa banga, meron pa rin lalaki na magkakagusto sa kanya. Useless ang magandang personality, intelligence at yaman ng isang babae kung sa face value bagsak siya. Ang judgmental ko ba? Sorry kung oo pero iyon kasi madalas ko mapansin sa mga kalalakihan eh.

Kung may ma-encounter man akong guy na may hitsura naman pero iyong babae below average (sa tingin ko) ang looks, iniisip ko na lang na baka maganda sa paningin niya. Beauty is subjective din kasi. Pero I highly doubt na meron guys na kayang magmahal ng babae na sa tingin niya ay pangit o average pero bawing bawi sa personality. Rare species tawag ko sa kanila kung ganun.

I think you couldnt get a straight answer from the guys themselves, but the ones around the guy lang. Obviously they would say that person is attractive and pretty. I know a guy who insists na yung ka.live in niya is pretty, but I have NEVER met someone (yet) who said she was pretty... or in the least bit attractive LOL!  And I thought I was just being horrible but... I see kadiri looks from people, and I WISH I was kidding. I showed a guytalker her pic and sabi niya "yikes"! LOL i kennat myself..

But anyways, at least if di kagandahan yung girl, you know na there's something else apart from physical attraction

*modified due to wrong grammar in Tagalog lol*

^ Same here sis. I have a guy friend na gandang ganda sa ex-gf niya. Kahit madami na nagsasabi sa family at friends niya na pangit ex niya, hindi niya nakikita. Hehe. Bulag ang mokong. Kaya nung nagbreak sila, inaasar namin siya na buti natauhan na siya.

[minatay91]

^ haha so true. I already made the phrase "That's true love." into a backhanded compliment HAHAHA

Pero mas na.annoy talaga ako if the guy insists na pretty yung partner niya. It's one thing to believe na pretty yung partner mo, but it's another thing to force your beliefs on others... So I just grin, and ask why he would need approval from others. We are not sleeping with your partner at night, you are the one sleeping and dealing with that face 24/7 so you better do it right! hehe

This thread reminds me of the couple I knew in college. Gwapo talaga ang guy, crush ng bayan sort of.
Tall, maganda ang body, gwapo, may car. Naging barkada ko sya, ang girl naging barkada rin namin.

Ang girl, as in, hindi talaga maganda. maitim, pangit ang teeth and maldita pa at that.

People were talking behind their back, ang sabi, ang guy ang pinaka rich kid sa school, dahil pumapasok may bitbit na alalay. It was really that bad.

Nagtagal sila and eventually broke up. May Third party si guy na maganda at sexy.

[young_maiden]

May na-encounter din akong couple last month. Gwapo si guy at tisoy. Malakas ang dating. Kasama niya gf niya na hindi pretty. Tadtad ng pimples ang mukha. Hehe. Mukha din alalay ang girl. I assumed na couple sila kasi niyakap ni guy si girl eh. Nakapila kami noon sa terminal ng fx sa megamall. Nasa likod nila ako. Nandun kami sa part na walang roof dahil mahaba ang pila.

Super mismatched sila. Pero who am I to judge di ba? Eh true love na iyon eh. Pero naturn off lang ako sa ginawang action ni guy. Nung biglaang umulan ng malakas, naglabas siya ng payong at biglang pinasilong ako. Sabi niya, "miss dito ka sa payong ko. Baka mabasa ka." Parang ako pa ang na-offend para doon sa girl. Iyong gf niya na walang payong di niya pinasilong di ba. Ako naman, out of respect doon sa girl, umiwas sa payong niya at kumuha ako ng sarili kong payong. Sabi ko "Kuya, no thanks. May sariling payong naman ako."

Napansin ko nakasimagot na iyong girl sa kanya at naging tahimik na sila. I pity the girl. Kahit hindi siya kagandahan, she does not deserve to be treated that way.

[Calderon]

Depende sa level ng guy.  If the guy is rich, goodlooking, educated, and ambitious, they want a girl who is at their level.  Looks won't be his top priority.  Guys like that will be embarassed if they took to their family reunion a hot girl but with no job and no prospect in life.

Looks does matter, but it's the overall package that counts.  A doctor and a hot salesgirl is a mismatch.  A doctor and an average looking woman doctor is a match.

[happie]

^ Correct but "average" is the key word.  It would be a mismatch to have a partner with acne, crooked teeth etc kahit pa of the same level.  Regarding the status,  i know someone na malayo talaga status ng hubby and wife.  Hubby ang well off, average looking pero ok lang.  Si girl sakto lang pero may minimal spanish blood siguro so pinakasalan parin.  ok na siya ngayon wala naman magagawa tao if you choose to marry someone you are physically attracted with kahit pa hindi mayaman.  Most people are accepting now days.

Guys are visual. The first thing they notice is the face value. This is mostly true lalo na kapag nasa prime age pa lang sila. Yung tipong wala pa sa ulo nila ang magsettle down. They mostly want the hot ones but as they age some mature. They look for the "material wife" qualities (yan ang sabi ng friend ko). Though di ko masyadong maintindihan talaga kung ano yung mga yun, he said guys look at the other qualities na would assure them that they will have a happy life with their partners - faithful, mabait, loving, and nurturing. As for the looks, as of course it does matter daw, bonus talaga kapag super maganda pero they would settle naman sa "pwede na" looks.

im a guy. agree ako dito kasi on my part looks una ko tinitingnan then second na ang personality.
swerte naman ako at maganda napangasawa ko, likewise yung ex ko maganda din

[antithesisofbarbie]

hmmmm tama guys are visual but beauty is subjective.

minsan yung maganda for us eh hindi maganda for others.

pero guys lang ba ang ganito? i think kahit naman girls...mas preferred naman ng girls na meron silang manliligaw na good-looking compared sa average ones di ba? ^_^

[young_maiden]

^ Pero marami pa rin girls na kaya pumatol sa guy na hindi attractive sa paningin nila, basta bawi sa personality.

Hindi tulad sa mga lalaki. Kailangan pasok sa banga nila ang hitsura ng babae bago mapansin ang personality.

parang ganito kami ng wife ko. she is attractive, ako naman average looks

[MayVerona]

mas prefer ko na maganda ugali swerte na lang talaga kung maganda sya pero alam ko naman pag mahal mo na isang girl sya na ang pinaka maganda sa mundo

[oshiawase]

I know someone, friend of a friend dati. The guy is good-looking. Typical tall, fair-skinned, chinito. Chinese Clark Kent nga daw. Then the gf is short, dark-skinned, with pimples here and there, braces. Typical of what other people would consider as "ugly". I saw the girl and di nga siya kagandahan. Though she dresses well (family is rich). Andami kong naririnig na tsismis about them saying the girl is too ugly for him. I, too, judged them. But  got to know the girl and super liked her personality. So I settled for "true love yan!" And felt so guilty about my initial judgment.

Then, i found out later, na si guy pala ay malandi with other girls (typical pretty ones) when gf is not around. at that point I already am the gf's friend. I just dont know if gf knows this about her bf though and whether I, or any of her friends, should tell her

This makes me feel na baka wala ngang true love for us average looking girls.
