I feel that a person's attitude can affect their attractiveness. For example, my cousin's wife is pretty. However, she's really mean and selfish. The way she acts makes her ugly in my opinion. (See what I'm getting at?) When I was in high school, there was a girl who wasn't very pretty, but she was nice. She never turned up her nose at you when you said hi, she'd even stop and have a conversation with you. A lot of guys liked her and thought she was hot though. So do you feel a person's attitude can affect their attractiveness?

[i]Hi Shorty,
For me, it does....Physical attraction will vanished once we will know the real attitude the persons...and for those who have a good heart, it always radiate in their outlook and makes them attractive![/i]

I think that a person's attitude can affect their attractiveness. I think that it doesn't matter how good looking someone is, if they do not have a good personality to go along with their looks, they are not attractive in my eyes.
I guess when I am judging someone on their overall attractiveness, I think that personality is one of the most important factors. After all, when time passes, looks will fade, and you will be left with the person underneath the facade.

Sure it can and it affects both men and women. I have met some hot looking guys in my life who thought they were all that so their attitude was a real turn off. I also have known some very pretty women who couldn't sustain a relationship for more than five minutes because they were so nasty or sarcastic. That's the one that irritates me the most...the sarcastic attitude.

Yes i think attitude affects attractiveness a lot. First off all women are beautiful and second if she has a nasty attitude then she becomes ugly per say. But very materialistic people man or women will be with a "ugly" person because of looks.

Sure it can. If the man is a real jerk, meaning that he is mean, selfish, and he will not think of anyone else, then he is certainly not someone that you want to be with. Most women, they love the "bad boy", you know, the man that treats them like dirt, but you want to know something about those guys, those guys are morons, and you will get sick of them after you have been with them for so long, and if you two bring children into the world, well that just gives him a bigger reason to be meaner to you. I know of a man that I could never be attracted to because of the kind of person he is. He just loves to treat people like dirt, his wife thought that he was a wonderful guy, at first, but heck, I would not bring him over to see my own mother, and that is saying something. I always wonder why some women love men who are total jerks? What is the reason for that?

i do not care how pretty someone is, if they are mean and nasty then they are just plain ugly. i definitely think your attitude can affect your looks and how others perceive you. there are alot of shallow people who only go for looks and perfection but those of us who can see past that find real value in people.

I can't stand snotty people... You know why they're called "snotty", right? They got their nose stuck up in the air so high everyone can see their "snots", and most of the times, they don't even realize it... I don't care what a person looks like physically... In more cases than not, it's the personality & an attitude of a person that determines the attractiveness of that person, at least for me... Physical beauty may get the 1st attention but it's the attitude that makes the 1st impression & personality that "keeps" my attention...

A person's attitude can definitely affect the impression thay make on others . A Beautiful face and body makes the viewer happy no doubt, but what leaves a lasting impression is the attitude and the personality and the way he deals with situations and people .If a person has attractive manners and has a likeable personality, then most people are attracted to him/her and physical beauty does not really matter

Oh yeah I think that a person's attitude can affect their attractiveness because it is a common fact that beauty comes from the inside and not the outside. I find it very hard to be attracted to someone with a nasty attitude or a person that treats someone like crap for no apparent reason. Someone with a bad attitude usually doesn't respect what you do for them and usually takes you for granted and then try to come crying back to you when you don't want them. I'd much rather have inner beauty then a nasty attitude with outer beauty.

A person's attitude is all that matters to make them attractive. I know a lot of people who look extremly beautiful(unless you dont know them). But if you saw them and their character. you'd feel them higly repelling.
Again attitude is all that matters.

Yes, I do think a person's attitude affects their attractiveness. I find people with positive attitudes more attractive.

I agree to you that a person's attitude affect their attractiveness. I think everyone all like people who are hansome or beautiful. Many people's attitude are mean or selfish because they are hansome or beautiful. This kink of people make us feel they a ugly. Many times we can not decide what kind of people they are.

Oh definitly it can. I have dated physically hot guys that are such jerks that soon I see them as ugly. I have also dated guys that at a glance are not that attractive at all but their personality wins me over and i do truly see them as very attractive. Physical beauty is temporary and fleeting. What is on the inside is far more important and lasting.

yup definitely.
i have had friends who are really (even guys) really hawt and good looking. but that's like having a nice apple but when you bite in it, it's all rotten on the inside.
looks can only carry you so far, once people start knowing you, it's just a major turn off and friends start leaving you.
some good-lookers know that they are good looking and use that to throw it at your face. you get what i mean. they say things like, "because i'm better looking than you of course. that's why i'm getting all these attention and you're not."
but if you really look around these people, they don't have a permanent friend. either that or it's the mean girls (the movie). a group of goodlookers becoming best friends but they have internal struggles and gossiping.

Attitude is everything. I've seen many attractive people become totally unattractive just by opening their mouth. Everyone has a little attitude at one time or another for various reasons, ie, having a bad day, not feeling well, etc. But there are those that think that since they're good looking that the whole world owes them something and they think that they're better than the next person. Many have this cocky attitude that destroys their appearance. In my opinion, if someone doesn't have anything decent to say to another person, then don't say anything at all.

definitely..it can affect a person's attractiveness.no matter what...what you are inside comes out naturally especially during your unguarded moments...physical appearance naturally counts but you are inside can make or or break you..nobody can just be sitting there and staring at you the whole time..of course what follows is geting to know what is behind that beautiful face!..and this is the thing that gives the lasting impression of a person...

Definitely, if you're always wearing a frown, people will naturally keep their distance and associate you and your personality with a frowing outlook. Unfortunately, being happy go lucky may not enhance your attractiveness, but it will make people beleive you're a genuine person on the inside.

I guess it can in a way, it depends on the person. When I go to college, I see attractive girls go out with the "bad boys" all the time. What I mean by bad boys is they don't follow the rules a lot and are rather ruthless/rude. I hate people like that!
As far as attractiveness goes, if someone is not good looking to me, they aren't good looking, no matter how good (or bad) their attitude is. However, I couldn't go out with someone who is a nasty person, no matter how good looking they were. On the flip side, I couldn't go out with a person that wasn't good looking either.
As a friend, I would always go with a person bassed on their attitude.
