How Important is Image to You?

[biteme]

Assume they're clean, their clothes are clean, they brush their teeth but they've worn the same style clothes/hair forever.

If it's a chick, she's not into makeup or getting her nails done.

People can be in decent shape (like doing okay on cardiac tests and stuff) and still be overweight.

Women need to wear makeup. It makes them hotter.

Appearance doesn't mean as much to me as it once did, but it still definitely matters. Smokers, heavy drinkers, take a fucking hike. I don't care how nice they are. Gross habits I can't deal with.

it's very important. but the motivations behind it are much more important.


for instance....dressing well, keeping in shape, etc are usually signs of self respect. When you let yourself go, you don't respect yourself much. Those are things you do for YOU

if you're comfortable with being overweight, you obviously don't respect your body.

If you're comfortable, with woring the same outfit from 1992 and don't want to change your hair you lack the very essence of life, which is change.

IMHO that's extremely unattractive and a simple minded mindset.

whole purpose of life is to improve yourself as much as possible. mentally, physically and emotionally

that doesn't mean that everybody who's big on taking care of themselves is not motivated by social approval (which is why i mentioned motivation is a huge aspect)...but chances are if they don't care about themselves, they won't respect themselves enough.

Someone who ONLY takes of themselves and is concerned only with vanity and lacks any internal qualities is a waste of time and has no substance.

you need a mixture both

I will shave my head forever more. Us men have it easier there. My girl doesn't have to change her hairstyle, I like it the way it is. But, I generally agree with everything else.

Image (in general, not just relationships) is EXTREMELY important to me. It has to be. I didn't make the rules, I just play by em.

In a relationship, well, you're talking about 2 extremes. I don't deal with extremes. In my experience, great body/fuck gets has a shelf life of a month or 6. Then it's peace out time. A great personality, etc, with shitty body is good friend stuff.

The combo is the key.

Translation: I can't get the real hot bitches anymore, so I must adapt this attitude. LMAO. j/k.

And note: "image" does not necessarily imply "trying to fit in" or "adapting to people's expectations". On the contrary, I do things to intentionally throw people off balance and NOT fit their mold of how the world is "supposed" to look.

You're my hero and model man.

a wise man once said

"You're in my reality now,bitch"

 

[swole]

um, you better take care of yourself in every way possible or else i won't let myself be attracted to you

and your image is beyond important...you won't get any decent job dressing like a bum

and by job i mean any role in life

part of being the part is looking the part

i don't expect a chick to be a 10, i expect a chick to highlight herself in a positive light...be fit, healthy...just glow for me
