would you girls want this?
Would girls like guys to see them just for their inner beauty like in the movie?

shareI can't speak for every girl, but I'd say yes. Unless you happen to be a very beautiful but nasty person it couldn't hurt you.
On the opposite side of things, if I could look at a guy and see their inner qualities right away, it would sure save a lot of time wading through liars, cheaters and scumbags. I wish I had that ability. Like Hal says in the movie, it doesn't matter what they look like to anyone else, if they are beautiful to you does anything else matter?
Just because I am wrong, that does not make you right.
Re: "...if they are beautiful to you does anything else matter?"
It just might matter to the offspring that are produced. If one mate is delusional, or just indifferent about beauty, several kids might get born with a genetic obesity predisposition.

Making decisions in love based on what combination would produce the most successful offspring is like something taken out of a bizarre neo facist future scenario. It's cynical and devoid of any deeper emotions other than clinical ones!

That's certainly wordy, but it's actually just glossing over the cruelty of the results.

Well, like Jason Alexander replied, there is always the problem of third-party confirmation. I'm reminded of the scene in the movie Mask where the beautiful blonde blind girl introduces her "boyfriend", the hopelessly deformed Rocky Dennis, to mom and dad. Her parents are shocked into revulsion at his elephant-man features. Sadly, they killed the romance with their daughter because, frankly, few parents would want a kid like that as a son-in-law. And I'm sure Hal would be similarly handicapped in his social life if saddled with a 400-pound wife.
" 'Saddled' with a 400 lb. wife." ?
A poor choice of words, I think....
I prefer the toad less raveled
for guys it would be like women not noticing how much money a guy has like if a girl had the spell Hal had but the guy's money (clothes, car ) would become invisible lol
shareSo... Wait a minute.
Are you outright stating that all women are shallow gold diggers?
Nice one.
Can I get you anything? A shield? A bullet proof vest. Or maybe just a ladder to get out of that hole you just dug for yourself?

not all women (Obviously)
but if they can make a movie making fun of men and saying some men are superficial, vain jerks that only care about the physical beauty of women,
then by that point of view why couldn't they make a movie that would poke fun of how some ladies are vain?
It's not like I am making things up or anything check this out:
When asked what qualities they’re looking for in a potential spouse,
never-married men were most likely to say that finding someone who shared “similar ideas about having and raising children” was very important to them.
This was a priority for women, too,
but not the most commonly cited one.
Women were most likely to say they wanted a spouse with a “ high pay steady job.”
Yes. When men comment on my looks I get uncomfortable (more so when it's a comment calling me "hot" or "sexy" than "pretty" or "beautiful"). I appreciate it when someone finds me attractive, but I would never want that to be the main draw. I want to be liked and appreciated for who I am, rather than what I look like.
The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.
GirlwonderReturns,
Being "pretty" or "handsome" is a BIG help in 'Getting your foot in the door' so that people actually have the chance to get to Appreciate You for Who You Are. Many people are interested in knowing you; you're pretty.
Trouble is, no one, male or female, who is Plain or Average has many opportunities to get close enough to have someone Pretty or Handsome Appreciate them for who they are.
Plain people who try to engage in conversation with Cute people have become very familiar with the polite but vacant stare over their left shoulder, as the "Pretty" person desperately seeks a way out of continuing even the most civilized of conversations.
I'm Average. If I walked up to a Target catalogue model (not your top echelon exactly), male or female, and said, "Hi, I'm Pat. How are you?", I would get that blank stare, and then be asked to go get them some coffee! LOL!
" I want to be liked and appreciated for who I am, rather than what I look like. "
Why just girls? I'm a kind, intelligent, funny, and pretty talented guy-but alas, I am not good looking so yeah-I would like it too.
shareCorrect me if I'm wrong but there are lots of women out there that'll hook up with a good looking ***hole over an ugly nice guy any day, right?
Actually, a guy who is totally handsome, but is mean, dumb, unconfident, and boring will still win big time over an ugly guy who's nice, smart, confident, and funny, right? I mean looking very good but w/ 4 other bad qualities wins over ugly but w/ 4 other good qualities, right.
I'd like to see a few women posting their responses to this one.
It is a superficial world.
