Reverse is true also. Someone with bad genetics can get all dressed up and well groomed etc and it will make them look better but does not really change their attractiveness.
Jesus it's not always about they way you look, yes it's important but it's not everything.
Personality, financial literacy, morals, values, boundaries (probably other things I'm forgetting) are as important, If not more.

Why are you so superficial, what exactly do you look like? How old are you? Height/weight? Etc. Just curious

Not really, they seek out people who are dependent with very low self esteem, among many other things. No person in their right mind would've spend time with people like that.

the difference is how long you've spent with them

at first sight, attraction is always sexual

but after spending time with each other it becomes romantic

And NOW I know the warning signs of sociopathy and manipulation so I won’t fall for someone like that again. But if you start out in life naive and trusting then it takes a while to realize when you are being manipulated.
To be fair.. how does solely going after looks eliminate you from sociopathy, manipulation, etc.? Lol

I know what youre gonna say but i think thats extremely idealistic. At "looks" youre not even vetting for those problems

Youre gonna say theyre good looking so theyre laid back but thats just a completely made up fantasy/ idealization

In fact, your "fwb" are prob using you more than you know

Id argue youve opened yourself up to it more. Your idealization is the naivete preyed upon

Interesting question with some good answers.

How attracted I am usually correlates to my level of respect for her.

I think that physical/sexual attraction is responsible, in most cases, for sparking the first interest, so I never think that I am actually romantically attracted to a person just because they are pretty.
I know I am romantically attracted to someone when I like or would like to talk to that person and when physical contact is no longer the first thing I think of when I see or think of that person.
In reality, it takes a little basic self-knowledge to understand how you react to these two situations.

A documented sign of sociopathic nature is general superficiality. You yourself have often made a point that looks and being a Chad is your only interest in Men.

Another one is not learning from mistakes. You say you dated a Chad superficially and he turned out to be abusive. You aren't seeking an empathetic Man romantically, thus you learned nothing from the mistake.

Another is grandiosity. Your username is underlined by 'registered Stacy'.

A sense entitlement is another. You're over the hill but holding out that you're going to find something serious from a 21 year old with options.

Living in a fantasy World is another. You have over 40,000 posts on a bodybuilding forum and possibly aren't even who you say you are.

My diagnosis:sociopath.
