    Can a guy who is average facially make himself more attractive by developing a muscular body or is he still just a average guy?

    Being healthy and in good shape is a plus for anyone, male or female. You just look, feel and move better and have more energy. The most attractive things are being a well rounded person, able to converse comfortably on a number of subjects, to have a variety of interests, to be a good listener and able to relate to other's interests even if you don't share them. Good manners, a good sense of appropriate behavior and appropriate dress, are also important. Being confident and competent without arrogance, is attractive.

    A genuine smile and attentive, caring attitude will light up any face and make it more attractive.

    Reiterating that in BOLD. That is very important to both genders.

    Working out will help you become physically fit. If you're healthy, your body radiates vibrantly and energy just flows naturally. A toned body is attractive. You don't have to be really buff like a super model to be attractive to the opposite sex. I personally prefer a man with functionally toned body, not the buff and too muscular kind.

    But to answer your question, YES. Working out could add to a person's marketability. But all this workout will be useless if, after all the effort you've done, after achieving your fitness goal, after having a toned muscular body, you still lack the confidence, you still fail to accept yourself as you are: your strengths as well as your weaknesses, then, working out is useless.

    Whatever improvement you do with your physical looks, if your inner self is lacking, everything is futile. Keep that in mind.

    Depends on what a girl is specifically attracted to. Personality goes a lot further for guys than it does for chicks let's face it.

    A lot of guys would if given the choice of ony either sucky personality and hot or awesome personality and unnatractive... Well we all know how that story end most time especially upon say meeting both girls same time and initial decisons.

    Me personaly a guy with no sense of humor is not attractive to me. If he went to the gym it would not make me more attracted to him.

    I think a cute guy like yourself should focus on gym for health (healthy guys are attractive_ and fitness but to up you bets with the ladies ....

    Focus on developing your charm, your wit, your intelligence as those are the things that seperate you from any other guy with muscles that thinks that's all he needs to woo a girl
    Scars remind us of where we've been...they don't have to dictate where we're going.

    I really doubt any guy would date a super hot girl with a crappy personaility.Most of my friends wouldn't. Despite what women think, we aim for average looking girls who are awesome to be around.


    HOWEVER, no guy will date a women he finds superbly unattractive no matter what she is like. Not just a little unattractive, but like hideous. I couldn't do it

    Nor would a woman want to date a man she found "hideously unattractive". But as you point out a poor personality, foul attitude, or bad temper will make a handsome man, very unattractive.

    Indeed

    I would prefer a average looking girl who was a good mom to my future daughter, nice to be around, played video games with me, good values ect.....


    ....then some party, hot (pardon the language)



    To add to this, I think slightly ugly men DO have it easier than slightly ugly women. A slightly ugly guy seems to be able to win a decent girl over via personaility.

    Men, I hate to say this, rarely will consider a ugly girl. Whenever I see an ugly girl(not that common), I will go up and talk to her and be friendly. HOWEVER, I immediatly put her in the friends zone. No chance I will date her no matter what she is like.



    Oh, for those of you wondering:

    "Did he ever score a date with that one Physicians Assistant."

    No, I didn't. Turned out she was married. However, she told me she did think I was kinda cute

    Well, at least you now know what to do next time you see someone you're interested in.

    First thing I ever do is look for the ring. IMO subconsiously or consciously a women shows it to you.

    As I have said before Looks may you go there personality make you stay

    Working out cant hurt and it's good to be in shape and be active but dont just work out to get girls. 'Cos as soon as you've got one you'll stop going to the gym.

    IMO I'd like a girl with an ok body, not perfect but ok, which means really I have to meet her at least half way.

    Ghost sometimes I get the feeling you obsess about meeting someone. I can be frustrating meeting nice girls who are married and being single. Statistically speaking single people in the world are in the majority regardless of what society is geared up for. Enjoy your life and girls will come. Still think you should give the internet dating thing a go. At least it will give you dating experiance so what you meet a really nice girl and take her out at least you'll have a good idea where to take her and what to do
