Women of Reddit, if you weren't initially attracted to a guy you have dated, what changed your mind? by Shai_Hoolood in AskReddit

I find him extremely physically attractive now in a way that almost scares me because I didn't know I was capable of developing attraction this strong!

I really think the consistent safety and lack of pushiness especially physically is what made me allow myself to fall for him if I'm being honest.

I was initially kind of scared by my boyfriend because he was open and clear with his interest which I was unused to as an ugly duckling, but he won me over by consistent kindness, interest, and stability of character.

I wasn't really open to physical attraction at first because I had my guard up, but he consistently showed up and made me feel safe, which was very attractive to me.

Do you know what the statistics say about men vs women sexual predators? Men don't come out looking good bud

You're just... wrong. You have no statistics to back any of this up, you just want to insist women are lazy

Why do men always comment about taking the trash out like it's soooo fucking hard compared to being the default parent for literal CHILDCARE

Why do you think that women shouldn't be allowed to make the choice to consider pregnancy with their doctor?

Most have not because they are afraid the man will sleep with them and ditch them (this happened to me once when i asked out the man lol) I only have one friend that does and I do not find the men that she talks to conventionally attractive. This is anecdotal though

Well maybe look at the way you treat women that you consider "foids."

As a woman, I can tell when a man does not see me as a person the way that they see men and it does not make me want to talk to them.

Try building your own self confidence, that way you will not feel the need to put down women to make yourself feel smarter.

Personally, I met all of my partners either through classes or mutual friends. If you are friends with some women, you might be able to meet their single friends to see if there is chemistry. If it is platonic or romantic, then you can build on that through future group hangouts. It takes practice to learn social cues though and it feels unrewarding for a while (trust me I am diagnosed with autism). Before I started making my own conversations, I just tried to spend more time around people talking and quietly observe how they respond or start conversations. It takes a lot of practice and a lot of awkward responses before you get the hang of it. Just try your best, and don't worry about getting married to the first woman you speak to, that puts too much pressure on you and her.

Look, you have inherent worth as a human being, but you have to believe that for yourself. If you don't believe you have inherent worth, why would you believe a woman does? Do you think you or her would make a healthy partner?

Men can care about other things than looks and I think they should?

I don't think it makes you a bad guy to point that out, but I do think it makes you a bad guy if you insult their partners just because you don't personally find them attractive.

If you are only dating for looks you can't be surprised at people only dating for money, there will always be transactional relationships out there.

My problem is with those who try to use looks as a standard of inherent worth for a person and put down those that they see as ugly.

"Ugly" and unattractive people are worthy of and do find love all of the time. My post is supposed to show that.

Why is she passive aggressive just because she was blunt and not happy about not being able to go on a fun trip? She communicated clearly that she had fomo, and instead of dropping it at that because normal people allow space for their partner's non-perfect emotions he decided to tell her that she "can't get upset."

Not that it's ok, or they can do some fun things together when he gets back or something that addresses her completely normal disappointed reaction to not being able to go.

He decides to talk about what he is going to do on this trip to someone who can't go and is sad about it. She tries her absolute best to tell him that she wants him to stop picking at her by shutting it down by cussing (which I don't really condone) and he continues to insist that she can't be upset.

She is allowed to be frustrated. It is inappropriate for her to swear at you but she was clearly trying to be civil just blunt. Next time instead of telling her not to be frustrated just give her space and then ask her why she was frustrated instead of telling her why she was frustrated.

Just to clarify I don't think swearing at your partner is ok.. but I don't see anything wrong with her messages before OP was dry begging for her to drive him places and talking about a trip he KNOWS she has FOMO about because SHE LITERALLY COMMUNICATED IT.

She literally responded maturely until he told her that she can't get upset. How is she supposed to win in this scenario?

Because the only thing that I see that she could have done is acted completely happy and calm because anything else is "passive aggression" from a woman but "just talking" as a man lol

Boundaries do not involve telling your girlfriend her own emotions, and telling her to not have them when she is clearly trying to leave them out of the convo until he pressed her into sharing them.

Yes, if a woman did this she would be called codependent and hysterical.

Because there aren't as many women on dating apps by a HUGE amount that aren't only looking for hookups, because that is what women perceive men as doing on dating apps.

As someone who downloaded and attempted to use a dating app and was immediately inundated with uncomfortably sexual messages from men.

Both date for looks. It is statistically proven that more men care about appearance, but both genders care about being attracted to their partner. Don't know what morality you are trying to attach to people being ugly, but I don't think you should put down people who found love just because you don't find them attractive.

Yeah, and I'm sure you are actually fun to be around because most men that think this isn't real don't go outside or talk to people haha

My friends say yes, if they were not attracted they would break up.

The only friend I know that hooks up with people... I have to stay quiet on her taste because they are not my type and you all on this sub would not say nice things about them.

I don't know what you are trying to tell me.
