Default Re: In defense of Ken & Barbie

We have been guilty in the past of seeing a hot couple and thinking they wouldn't be interested in us and not making the effort to get to know them that we might have a more average couple. But recently we have been shown the error of that thinking. we hooked up and had a great time with a couple that is half our age. We had seen them around the club for a couple of years off and on but never made the effort to get to know them because we thought "they wouldn't want to play with us old farts". Then one slow night at the club we had the oppurtunity to get to know them a little and it turns out they hadn't approached us because they thought that "we wouldn't want to play with a couple of young people".

This may not be the popular opinion, but initially we are attracted to someone by their looks. In other words, if I don't think you look sexually attractive I will probably never experiance your personality, no matter how good it is. One does not have to be perfect to be attractive but if we meet two couples with equally good personalities the odds are we will be playing later with the couple that is closest to our idea of physically optimum. And judging by how much easier time these so called Ken and Barbie types seem to have hooking up with play partners it appears to me that a lot of people must feel the same.

So I have to say, that I think Ken and Barbie often get an undeserved bad rap.

I have heard before people say that they don't like the Ken and Barbie type, or some call them the beautifull people, because they snub them or aren't friendly to them when they introduce themselves. But my question is, what are they supposed to do if they don't find you attractive? We go to the club to interact with potential playmates so if someone comes up and introduces themselves that we don't find sexually attractive wouldn't we naturally give a polite greeting and then try to move on as quickly as possible?
