Beauty or Passability? What is more important?

[Dkg]

If a girl is hot to us we automatically say that she is passable. While the world around us may see her as an attractive person that is male. If I were writing out the perfect TS women, I would say that her passing would be great but if she were attractive enough to me then I could deal with her not being as passable.

Good point, but when asking whether you would pick one over the other then why would you (in general) go for just passable? In a way they do go hand in hand, and in a way they don't.

there are plenty of average looking, semi attractive, passable TS women but there are also plenty of above average looking, very beautiful passable TS women (a lot of them ca be found here on this board), and I've never heard of an attractive, beautiful, non passable TS woman. so in that regard why would anyone choose passability over beauty?

btw, I completely get what you were saying and actually agree, but when simplifying it in the phrase of "which is better A or B", (in this case) there is a clear and obvious advantage one as over the other.

What Dkg says makes allot of sense.

I can't imagine how a TS can be "beautiful" and a non passable gorilla in a dress at the same time.

I can see how a TS can be so surgically altered as to attract attention for having been altered. But I don't think that counts as "not passing".

bc even if you look like a supermodel or a pornstar or a super hot female... if a little kid, or a guy, or a girl or all 3 at once goes "thats a man"

you have been clocked

and thus you did not pass

do not pass go

do not collect $200

Mutually exclusive if your that easily clockable.

i have yet to meet a girl that passes 100% of the time

the question is if you pass 1 outta 10 x are you considered passable?

exactly what I was just about to say, b/c I also highly doubt there is any woman out there that has not been clocked once, no matter how beautiful/hot she may be.

Is it really 1 out of 10? who makes these rules. I think you're going into uncharted territories....then again maybe you know something I don't.

1 out of 10? No, your not passable. You had a lucky break

9 out of 10? Yes, your passable. You had an unlucky break, but your likely to be forgiven even if something...strange...is detected.

Ive seen some girls from this site that, barring what they *may or may not* sound like in person, could pass 100% of the time in normal everyday situations by average people.

[BrendaQG]

True. But chances are if you look like a superhot female, supermodel or pop star,...that you pass most of the time.

Where as if you are really "un-passable" then you never pass and would never look like a superhot female, supermodel or anything.

This is a TS who looks like a supermodel


I think this thread needs a dose of reality. This is un passable. I can't think of anyone who is both of those things.

I think theres a lot on confusion honestly. I think a lot of guys are talking about what they prefer in general and the rest are talking about LTR wise. In general I'd go for beauty or body, but LTR I'd go passability. Theres a lot of GG's I'd get with I see at the grocery store, mall, or at the bar but when it comes to LTR the same standards dont apply IMO.

At the risk of sounding naive, I say beauty because I want an appealing woman and already know her secret so passability is of little concern to me. It's my job to make her feel comfortable and loved when the rest of the world is cruel and unaccepting and I think I could shoulder that load, but even with having those good intentions I have to admit to a certain amount of shallowness in what I want to see when I look into her eyes.
