Don't want to sound conceited, pretty sure I'm gonna get a lot of hate for this... but I'll just ask anyway. Does looks matter in a relationship..? I've been told I don't look bad a couple of times, and I'm rather ok also height-wise, and my built is not too bad too.. just wanted to ask if there are any experiences of men/women when it comes to this.. I tried dating women who are shorter, or sorta.. normal girl next door attractiveness.. most of the time I strike out with them.. sometimes I feel they have some sort of hatred/bias towards guys with some positive physical traits, it's as if we don't deserve love or something just because we look good. People who got looks go through pains and struggles as well in life, but people think they have no problems at all (or don't deserve pity/emotional support).. But although, I do find success dating some model type women or the lookers.. maybe it's because there's some sort of understanding between really good-looking people and they probably experience a lot of judgments too from normal-looking women..? I don't know, I haven't actually asked them about it, but I do find it a bit strange. I just find it unfair that good-looking people get judged a lot, even though they are good people. It really hurts sometimes and sometimes I don't even want to get out of the house and just stay inside, play games and watch tv. I think I am a good person.. I do my best to be one.. Even if I try.. and I really try.. to be humble.. I still get labelled an arrogant dick.. I don't get why ugly people can be cocky and say what they want and not get labelled arrogant while people with looks can't speak in public because they get labelled as arrogant. There some sort of double-standard? Just because people got looks we're supposed to bow down and be ashamed of it? I am a bit book-smart as well.. (I got bullied a lot when I was a kid and I studied a lot back then because of it since I don't go to parties that much and stayed home reading textbooks). Just want to get outside opinion of this. Hope you don't get angry me posting this... Thanks in advance.
