Will average-looking, or not so average-looking Joe think a girl is too pretty or naturally alluring to be interested in her, even if she expresses interest in him? or if she takes pride in her appearance then is she materialistic and not bearing the fruit of herself in God's eye? I've read comments when looking at women and seeing what she values ...suggests its based on profile pixs.
bible says do not worry what you will eat or put on.
but today's women seem very concerned what they wear
and what they are eating. That verse must be for teenage boys. They eat anything. and some men have no clue when it comes to clothes. Pretty women still seem to show interest in them anyway. Pretty is in the eye of the beholder, narcissism though, is a turn off.
"beauty is vain and charm is deceitful, but a woman that fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Proverbs.
yeh dave, I can tell you from experience, narcassism is deffinately a turn off - I tend to be narcassistic at times and it kinda ruins things. That's the great thing about being a christian though, is you live and you learn, and you grow.
I think the "too pretty" issue stems from men who have been cheated on (a number of women feel the same way) and are afraid of someone who will run around on them or be in search of the BBD (Bigger, Better Deal).
I'll be completely honest when I say that MANY women I meet (Christian and non alike) can be very random and fickle in their decision-making concerning men...and the more attractive they are, the more risk you run of them deciding to break up with you because someone else came along. Now we obviously cannot put ALL women or men into a group and say that they all do this, but im just explaining where this fear likely stems from.
The girl who is "too pretty" probably already knows it, because she more than likely had a lot of dates or guys interested in her in high school/college. Therefore, most of these girls can't help but look at some guys and go "Ehh, I could do better than him" when things get rough or she gets bored. The other thing is most guys that have dated girls like this have found that many with this attitude have a sense of entitlement and narcissism. Guys want a woman who enjoys and APPRECIATES when they treat them special...not those who demand it or talk about it constantly in their profile (example - "I want a guy who treats me special and does things for me to make me feel like im a amazing").
Again, this is not applying to every woman, but many guys have that perception of women that are very attractive. Lots of guys have taken to Jimmy Soul's philosophy on women...put into a hit song from the 60's....
