[quote=Happs]Good point, but do you think if the guy in the video said an introductory remark that was more erudite, philosophical or academic, and unrelated to looks that he would have had any interest from the woman?[/quote]
You’re missing the point. The only reason he wants to go out with her is because she’s pretty – therefore he’s superficial. So, I guess there’s really no point in hiding it, as his true colors will come out sooner or later. It’s kind of like a woman saying how do I get to know a rich man without him knowing I’m looking for a rich man. It’s a bad idea from the start, in my book.
I never saw the point in going out with someone I didn’t know something about (classmate, friend of a friend, etc.) – plus it always seemed a bit dangerous (as an old and boring married woman, I’m beyond all of this now). There are so many creeps in the world.
