This is a question for girls (and guys too actually!)...

How would you feel if the guy you liked had bad taste in girls? (and guys..vice versa)

Let me elaborate:
So this guy I like...likes another girl. But the thing is, she's REALLY two-faced and really b----y. However, she hides it really well in front of guys and she acts really sweet in front them. And this guy I like is too dumb to see through her act. Also, she is pretty, but she puts on A LOT of make up (like one of those girls who claim they'll never leave their house with putting on makeup).

So I kind of stopped liking him after I found out he has bad taste in women. Also because he must be truly dumb if he can't tell a fake person from a sincere person AND he can't see through the powers of make up. Okay fine, he doesn't have to like me back...but he should at least go for someone who is GENUINELY nice (not just to guys) and not for someone who is so reliant on makeup.

*NOTE: I understand it's a little mean and it might sound biased to call the object of my crush's affection "bad taste"...but let's just assume manipulative, two-faced, and make-up caking = bad taste in this scenario. (I also understand that she might have 100000 positive traits I don't know about...but for now I'm certain about her being manipulative and fake and shouldn't that be enough to turn in the other direction from her?...no matter what kind of positive traits she might posses otherwise? )


I guess I don't really have a problem I'm looking to solve...just looking for discussion! Would you girls keep liking this guy even when he has poor taste in women or would you stop liking him? How about you guys? What if the girl you like liked a complete tool who was completely wrong for her?! Is it correct to reason "she has such poor taste in guys! she must be stupid to like someone like that!" and forget about her?

EDIT: I just knew some ppl would say "you're just jealous of her! blah blah blah"...That's why I put the "NOTE" up there, but I guess you guys didn't read it. I'm already over it/him... I WOULDN'T be over him if he liked a TRULY nice/sweet girl. But the fact that he likes someone so manipulative and b----y is enough to make me stop liking him...get it? Really... I'm just looking for discussion as to whether poor taste has been a big enough deterrent for you to stop liking someone before (as it is in this situation

Well, to be completely honest, I'm pretty conceited, and I have pretty high standards when it comes to everyone, so I've pretty much just come to accept that guys are going to have bad taste in comparison.

Well, if a guy that I liked actually liked girls that were......not up to standard, then I wouldn't want him to like me anyways. Cus then that would mean I'm not up to standard!!

Your mind tends to see peoples flaws when the person you like likes them. Even if you say she's all those things you're also probably bitter cause he likes her not you.

The guy I liked, all his mates said they found me attractive yet he didn't, and also the girl he was dating they called ugly. But I got over it. I guess some guys prefer girls like that.

first off...
you're jealous. good for her. who cares..
he doesn't like you, i hope that you get over him.

okay then.
obviously if a guy i like starts liking some other girl I'm going to be looking for flaws in her. It's just human nature.
if he likes someone else, and we're already friends...unless we're really close friends or something i'll pretty much give up and lose sight of him. so yeah. anyway, if he likes her...there must be something good about her that you don't have. maybe they have a connection, maybe you don't know the guy you like quite as well as you think you do.
people have different tastes, what's good, what's not good. if the guy you like doesn't think of you that way, then move on. kick him, scream, throw dirt in his face;; hey, whatever makes you feel better.

plus, he's a guy. and what do you mean TOO much makeup? you mean like a clown? just saying there are heaps of angles to this, and what you've said is really...shallow in description? or maybe i just over-analysed it all.




but yeah. bad taste or not. no matter who he likes...if its not me, i'll be walking out the door.

Yup.

Anyhoo, we all make bad judgment calls in dating sometimes, that's how we end up with ex's. I've liked guys before only to get to know/ date them and find out they're retarded, selfish or just plain annoying.

I'd be much more concerned about his taste and judgment in things that actually matter like finances, personal appearance, common interests and communication.

things like that happen....maybe the guy knows it and feels that if she isn't being 2 face on him then its just fine.... >_> Then again as an outsider watching this, the guy looks like he is just too blind to see...

Regardless, only the guy would know if he is blind or not since we aren't seeing from his eye, we are only observing from afar, plus we aren't in the relationship.

If does go bad, then the relationship will end...not bad taste I guess just acquire taste for women...>_>

Most guys can't tell the difference between girls who wear a little makeup and a lot, honestly. So he probably has no idea. In regards to her being bean pie and manipulative, sometimes those traits can be kind of attractive weirdly enough lol. It sort of makes us feel like we're taming a demon or sorts. It's the equivalent of girls who are into bad boys.

[bonjour tristesse.]

Well he doesn't like me so yes he has bad taste cause .. well .. the girl is not me JKJK. But I gotta say that that's exactly the way I think when they have bad taste, lol. But if I liked them you know, that way, well .. it won't bug me. I mean, of course it will that you know, how can they like that girl when I'm so much prettier than her but I guess time will tell if my efforts will come to waste or come to play.
