Are you more attracted towards people of the same sex....

[Pull My Finger]

Attractive people are perceived as smart and nice people, whereas an ugly person might come off as an arrogant prick.

A correlation between attractiveness and good personality does exist.

I like funny people.

[Citrustree]

I like funny people.

What's so funny about the comparison you just made? Are "smart" and "nice" not good personality traits? Or do you just believe that said correlation does not exist?

[Drekker17]

Yeah I'm "attracted" more with females, I find males overall boring or immature in groups, I like hanging out with some guys individually or in small groups (me and 2 guys)...but absolutely hate being in a group with mostly males. It is sort of annoying because the guys I liked hanging out individually often want to date me later, but I did have this 1 guy friend that was completely platonic and he didn't have a jealous girlfriend, so it was great.

I really don't think about looks when it comes to making friends. My girl friends have usually been downright ugly or average, guy friends are usually the same with a few good lookers...I would love to have a hot girl friend, but I'm bisexual and for some reason I can be chill with a hot guy, but am shy and completely awkward around a hot girl.

[Deleted]

Hang out more with guys than other women.

They should atleast have average looks, better if good looks. Not be super ugly.

[Reg]

I hang out with pretty much anyone who can carry on a decent conversation. I'm not looking for specific sex in friendship.

Oh, I'm just generally amused. Cheerful personality ...

[Krystal]

I (female) preferred females back in school. Nowadays, I prefer hanging out with the guys. I'm not a girly girl, and I just find myself having more fun with guys. Now if only I could get good at fps's lol. >_> I'd have another thing to do with my guy friends when we hang out heh.

[Djuntas]

Lige børn leger bedst (Equal kids plays best), as the old danish saying goes. Or, proboaly not even a danish saying.

Anywho, I never tough about that OP. Then again I try to be kind to 95% off people no matter what they are. I try be neutral inn my IRL, just being nice can make a good first impression I asume.

[Cephilia]

There's only ever been one guy I considered an actual friend, but we're not in contact anymore. I've somehow managed to go through secondary school in math and science specialized class and a senior secondary school specialized in science while being mainly interested in metal music and gaming, and still my friends are all girls. I can't say I've put much thought into their looks, one of my best friends is really hot but I've known her since I was 6, so that doesn't count. My best friend is almost exactly my size though, I think that makes me feel more comfortable around her.

[Muis]

Doesn't really matter to me. I've had good female and male friends.
It just depends on their character and how much we have in common I guess.

[K i s u]

I'm a girl and as long as we have something in common I don't generally focus on a persons looks. But when it comes to friendship even then I find a positive feature looks-wise everyone has at least one. I haven't had a close girl friend since I was still in elementary, Guys have always just been easier for me to talk to/get along with.

[Pachycrocuta]

I have no preference on which I like to hang out with. Although I do like the female voice more than male. But, I have only male friends (and only long distance/internet friends at that).

[Powerogue]

I guess, guys are more relateable, whereas girls can often seem like a whole different species. You make friends easier with someone who you can relate to.

[DeltrusDisc]

There's two guys I typically hang out with.

From what we can tell, I've had better success in the female department, but I wouldn't trade these two guys for anyone. They are genuinely great guys, we have a great time, all 3 of us love trying new beers, we love talking philosophical, we're all gamers, it all works out.

Would I chill out with a guy who probably looks better than I to the girls? Yeah, I have. I would again, because looks don't matter.

I don't know if I should talk about female friends so.

[Simulacrum]

When I'm not gaming (which there appears to be almost no girls who are genuinely commited to and heavily interested in it), I mostly hang out with girls. Not sure why, actually. It has just always been that way.

[Giants41]

I'd say its a part of my friend picking process even for other guys. If you hang out with guys who look good(but not better than you) you have a good shot at getting more girls. Thats how i look at it anyway... Not to sound like a jerk which i'm sure i do here but that was my logic. I'd be friends with anyone though honestly if they were cool people who i found interesting.

[starlord]

generally i prefer the company of men. most other women irritate me.

[Deleted]

I'm confused. Is the question are we attracted to people of the same sex, or good-looking people?

[Deleted]

Female and trans (if that counts for anything?) and my friends are almost exclusively female. I have one or two male friends online, but IRL I only really know two men who arn't my family that I see more than once every couple of months. One being the husband of my girlfriend's mother, the other being the boyfriend of my girlfriend's sister. Both are cool dudes, but I'd struggle to be friends. I think I may have mild androphobia, even!

As for attractiveness, I don't really want to say I consider it. That said, I do not think attractiveness is something you're born with, for either gender. Good looking people have to work really fucking hard at looking like they do in most cases, and I approve of people who work really hard at something, no matter what it is. Maybe you think it's vain to work on your own appearance like that but better than than what most people do which is working hard on nothing, which just breeds low self esteem and a boring personality. Taking pride in your appearance (so long as it doesn't control your life) I think is a good thing so I probably lean towards people like that?

[Gereorth666]

I mostly hang out with males but have better conversations with females.

I don't realy 'prefer' to be with one gender above the other. It's mostly about the personallity. And honestly, if there is a male which would fit me so well.. I probably would turn homosexuel because of him eventhough my main intereset lies with females.

If you're a male, would you rather hang out with an attractive looking male or an ugly male?
That's how I took the question.
