Are you single, married, or do you have a gf/bf?

Actually, this is a perfect example of where your wording is the problem here. Maybe it's the only time YOU like the way a woman looks, but it does not mean it is the only time a woman looks good. The way you phrase this makes it sound like you think your view is the end all, be all for all women's appearances. Sorry, but while you may have your tastes, don't try suggesting someone should do things your way all the time. If a woman wants to cake on her make-up, wear Army boots, mens pants, and get a tattoo, that is her choice, not yours. You don't have to date her, but that doesn't mean she doesn't look good, even if it's only for herself. One of the things I don't like in men is when they have that crappy attitude that women must dress or act certain ways to please them...horse ****! Don't like the woman as she is, move on, don't try to tell them to change.
Sure it does. What looks good depends on the person who is viewing. That does NOT mean what shes wearing look good to me. If she thinks that looks good to her personally, thats her own perception. Thats NOT how I view her. I dont care if she thinks she looks great wearing boy shorts and t-shirt, I dont like that. Thats my preference.

And now your putting words into my mouth! I also said im not trying to change anyone when I replied to binzing.

Man everyones taking what I say out of context left and right, this is outrageous!

Maybe you should consider how you're saying things if it seems EVERYONE is taking it the wrong way?

That's already berating them. You're considering them lesser than you, not even worthy of talking to, simply because of how they dress. They could be very interesting people, intelligent, witty, with a lot to share, but because you're so hung up on appearances, you don't even want to consider them...you think they're beneath you and your fancy clothes.
Maybe they are, if I dont find a woman attractive I wont go out of my way to chat her up.

To your comments on saying I said something about expensive clothes:

I did not, and I explain what I meant above.


To your comments on saying about changing someone:

http://physicsforums.com/showpost.ph...&postcount=219

I said im not going to change anyone, again above.

I dont understand what was not clear in those posts? People are now just taking bits and pieces of what I said from all over the place.

Talk about arrogance! Heaven forbid you should look for substance over appearance or talk to someone for a reason other than "chatting her up." Meh, you're probably doing them a favor not to subject them to such superficiality.

Do you REALLY think im going to chat up every girl that walks by just because she might have a nice personality. I want to be attracted to her as well.

Why would I chat up a girl im not attracted to when there are plenty of ones that I AM attracted to all over town...

Do you chat up the guy with tattoos and big hula-hoop spacers on his ears, a bright red mohawk, and all black clothes for a date when you run across him? He might have a great personality, dont be superficial.........

Is it just me, or are PFers a tad testy today ?
I think this thread needs a time out. Just long enough for everyone's blood pressure to go down, at least.

I think this thread has lived beyond its expected age. I thought this would be locked by yesterday, but now I think this would die naturally.

That's not fair to Moonie, Cy. You have extrapolated and exaggerated to make her argument look weak, and that is not fair at all. Moonie could meet an average-looking older guy like me and talk a bit and find out that we had a lot in common, and follow up. She would never look at me in a bar (unless it was years back and I could still perform in the presence of fragrances), but if I asked her to dance, and we sat together for a bit and I tried to tell her about my musical preferences and a recently published paper on galactic interaction (astrophysics), I'll bet we'd connect pretty well. When I was hosting open-mike jams at local taverns, I'd get approached by ladies that were way too forward - but my wife trusted me and we got through it OK.
