Dating someone more attractive than yourself vol. Why're you getting all dolled up?

[iblink]

Does it make you feel like you have to step you game up/turn your swag on more so society can approve of you being with said individual? I've been around a few places and heard the phrase "He/She could do better"... some folks even say "much better". I know you all are gonna say that it shouldn't matter what society says, but lets put that to rest for the sake of discussion.

If you're dating a fine female/attractive male and you happen to be an average or below average guy/girl, would that make you self conscious to the point where you start to question how you got the person, or why they're with you? Wold you believe they're too attractive to be faithful?

Anyone ever experience this? If so, share.

Back in 2007 I dated a girl who I've been told I could do better than. The messed part was that her family said it to me. I was like

. I really didn't see how I was that much better of ol girl.

Good point, but it will always boil back down to a person's self esteem. And its very important to realize that this standard holds true more so for guys, than it will ever for women. The pressure for beauty falls a bit heavier for women then it will guys, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue for a very attractive lady to be with an average guy.

Now if an generally attractive guy looks better than the girl he's with, this will be much more of a problem. Social standards will never uphold this sort of relationship.

I don't think it would matter to people who had their self-esteem in check.  For the people who don't, I'm sure it would raise so many red flags in their head.  It'd trigger some major insecurities they probably have about their looks, which would lead to a horrible relationship.

Why would any dude want to look BETTER than their girl, though?

That's weird to me

This thread isn't about anyone setting out with the specific goal of looking better than their counter part. Relax cool kid.

You say it like I'm ashamed of it.

Contribute to the conversation, or keep it moving my dude.

I just thought tattoo's were supposed to have meanings to them.... Your just a fanboy of a mediocre *@* band.

But back to the subject at hand... Step your self-esteem game up.

I could see if blink were at the peak of their career and I just got this tattoo after their cd went platinum a billion times over... then I'd agree with me being a fan boy. But I've had this since the days of their hiatus my man. You opinions on their mediocrity are your own, and hardly relates to the topic at hand, so I'll ask that you keep it out of the thread. Feel free to hit up my inbox if you want to continue on with your rants.

you need #basedgod in your life.

as for the actual topic, i'd never really think of a woman as being "too attractive to stay faithful." any woman is capable of infidelity, despite their looks. i'd never think of any woman as "too attractive" for me, either. I know when a girl isn't in my league, but that's due to her personality and temperament (which can be a direct result of her beauty, but it isn't dependent on it.)

but I've certainly had those questions based on a girl's character. I've dated a couple of "holier than thou art" types and I question if I'm good enough for them in that sense. and I've dated a couple of girls who party all the time and wondered if they partied too much to stay faithful.

interesting topic, though.
