desired and wanted by the opposite sex - even when you have no interest in them at all?

Be honest now.

Honestly very important I guess. I mean it sure can be annoying at times, but if I didn't get any attention anymore I guess I would feel old and ugly.

I’m a woman in a man’s world. It is advantageous to be considered attractive, no doubt about it. You’re simply treated better in all aspects of life from little things like a door being held open to big things by being considered for jobs, etc.

Very important! Very!

And I will always have interest.

Honest huh? Oh ok... yes, it is important.

not important..
i'm gay!

yes, very

i'm on a dating site where lately i've been propositioned for sex nearly everyday. there is nothing untoward about my pictures or my profile and as much as it makes me shake my head and wonder why they feel they can say such things to me it's also strangely intoxicating.

I'm gay, but I love it if a woman flirts with me or finds me attractive. I think that's cool and it makes me feel good. I don't know if it's totally important to me, but it's certainly a positive thing.

zero, really. i'm getting old.

I am with you IB. I tend to be more concerned if ppl like my personality.
Don't know why, not much I can do if they don't.
I do want my hubby to find me attractive, that is about it these days.

exactly. you explained it a lot better than i did.

I enjoy being as invisible as possible to the opposite sex. Being attractive is extremely low on my list of day-to-day priorities.

I knew what you were trying to say.
I know that I will never be a drop dead gorgeous super model type girl so I've learned to accept it.
Also, most ppl find me attractive AFTER they get to know me, not just when I walk into a room.

Great question.

Some people think gay men have no interest in what women think of them -- and many gay men even promote the notion with our own brand of homo mysogyny. (And we can be darned good at throwing shade. ) But from what I've seen, that's complete hogwash. Most men I know -- gay, straight, bi, whatever -- LOVE it when somebody is feeling them. It has less to do with sexual interest than a general boost to the ego or a personal sense of social worth, I think.

As for me... I don't know how important it is, but it definitely is something I find gratifying.

Oops, sorry. Should have said your sexual preference instead. Didn't mean to exclude!

CarrieMpls said:

Very well said and I totally agree. The more attractive you are to men, the more opportunites you have.

Not at all. If no woman ever desired me or looked at me sexually I'd never notice or care. Men however.....

It's only important to me that I'm attractive to one specific man. And I am, so...

That said, I probably wouldn't have gotten many of the professional positions I've had (including working in television), if the men in charge hadn't thought I was at least somewhat good-looking.

BULL!! You say all this only because you know women find you adorable!!

Lammastide said:

I can't shake them off! Cockblockers!

I like to be admired, and I like getting compliments..but never really thought about how important it really is to me...

Not important anymore. I got my girl and I have no interest for others to find me attractive.
When I'm single, it is important.

I find it interesting that many people say they only care when they are single.

When I love somebody it is the most important thing to me that this person finds me attractive. But it's still nice if others find me attractive too.

For me it has nothing to do with looking to be or being in a relationship at all.

JustErin said:

Do you mean no interest in a specific person, or interest in the opposite sex?

JustErin said:

It's the same for me.

I meant in a specific person.
