Super powers and attrativeness

[Prince Cherico]

heres a question for you guys lets say people with super powers
existed in real life. Would super powers by themselves make them
more attractive to you? Would some ones ability to lets say fly
make you give them a second look? Would you be willing to date
and marry some one with super powers?

[shiiv-a]

personally? .. not at all

while i'm one of these people that think of 'people are people first' .. i KNOW for a fact that nearly everyone and their dog would drop the 'chase for the stars' and head off in pursuit of the soup's ...

the interest for something 'new and exciting' .. and natures calling card of 'survival of hte fittest', it would basically mean that the soups would be the NEW toy to aquire for dating and/or marriage.

me? .. not interested. been there and done that. wasn't impressed with the guy. end of story. but that doesn't mean i'm soured against the fact of possibilities. real life is different from the worlds of 'what if' .. so my first reaction would be 'nope, not on your life. not interested. i'll worry about what i turned down another day.

[KillWatch]

Duh would be my first response but it has two sides
1) Yes: Simply because if it is all out there and everyone knows and everyone knows it's not a disease or funky radioactive state that can get others sick then viola instant rock star even if you are slightly good looking. Kind of like the bad boy syndrome some women seem to have

2) No. If you are slightly on the otherside of goodlooking with a low MA then you will be viewed as a freak and obviously tainted with,... SOMETHING

[Nekira Sudacne]

...If the SUperpower is Extrodanary PB or Physical Perfection...

[RockJock]

You are definitely going to end up with groupies and such.

[Giant2005]

Depends what they can do.
I mean if someone had super sarcasm, I'm not sure if I would rush out to try and get my hands on them, but Super Endurance might make me look twice.
Then again if they had persuasion like Eden on Heroes, I'm not sure I'd have a choice, but if I did have a choice, I could see huge benefits in all of life aspects for that - I'd be foolish not to use everything in my power to get a girl like that.

[MrTwist]

Yes. It's an advantage, so I would most likely prefer them over other similar partners.

[Pepsi Jedi]

As a knee jerk responce I'd have to say "Yes, most times" but some times it'd be a bother.

Control Radiation... definate downer... stuff like that= badness.

You also have to factor in the jealousy factor.

Do I get powers too or am I just a "norm" and my girlfriend is She Hulk who can smack me with a car if she catches me looking at another green skinned girl?

It would depend on a lot of factors but I'd have to say most times, if there were two gals, excactly alike except one could fly and the other one couldn't, yeah I'd go for the flier.

[The Baron of chaos]

As it was said it depend of how world generally view superhumans. Probably at first it would add spice, and amke a person interesting, but on long term is the person complete value that will keep a lover close.
Of cours ei won't touch the potential aspect of superpowers and intimacy, I've tried but i got my thread erased.
Just one note. If you think Multiple self had potential you don't know what Stretching, Shapechange and APS Liquid can do!

[Lord_Dalgard]

Chello!

Probably. Have you seen "My Super Ex-Girlfriend"?

Tony

[Stone Gargoyle]

I think it depends on the power. Some involve some pretty hideous transformations. But there are fetishes for everything, so even super freakish flatulence boy would probably have a following, albeit a very small one.

[The Baron of chaos]

Guys we're running on a sharp edge here. After Conversion this agruments ar ethe one more likley to make a topic erased. Anyway for her I will choose Shapechange, Healing Factor(like PE but offer fast recovery), heightened sense of touch and Anatomical Manipulation(?!?)
For me I'll choose APS Goo/Gel(Chocolate flavored), Tentacles(i've been thinking bout this since my first Hentai video ) and Living Anatomy(In this way one will finally know where that damn spot is!)

[The Baron of chaos]

No you can't. But we can use whatever alternative word we can imagine. Wink-Wink, scoring, Bed dancing, Love Wrestling, Funkmania 3.0 , Do it like Splugorths and so on

I'll take Shapeshanging and Extra PP for her and Extra PE or Healing Factor for me thanks.

Three words... ENLARGE BODY PARTS...


But seriously, I'm another one of those that think it depends on what the specific super abilities are. Something like Extraordinary Physical Beauty/Mental Affinity, Divine Aura or Physical Perfection would be pretty much a no-brainer "yes." On the other hand, powers such as Stench, Horror Factor and Lycanthropy would be definite turn-offs.

Even still, certain powers would only increase your attractiveness to followers of certain fetishes... such as Supervision: Advanced Sight to voyeurs/exhibitionists, Control Others to submissives, Quills to fans of piercings, and Underwater Abilities to aquafiles.

I guess when it's all said and done though, it's a cliche but a true one: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." It's all about what you like to behold.

[The Baron of chaos]

APS Rubber......

[Stone Gargoyle]

Uhmm. let me see. id like my super babe to have extraordinary beauty, extrordinary prowess, stretching, multiple selves, wingless flight (hey doing the "wink wink" up in the sky= awesome) and shape change.

mmmm...stretching...

[Stone Gargoyle]

APS Rubber......

Kinky.

[Stattick]

absolutely would make 'em more attractive.

Studies of human s*xuality have shown that novelty makes it more likely that someone will find someone else more attractive. Less likely to marry, but more likely to boink.

Add in the facts of fame, infamy, exotic looks, money, power, etc, then hell ya, supes (many of them anyway) would be at an all you can eat buffet, year round. They'd just have to chose the flavor of the day, and try to avoid the STD's... Ewwww, super STD's....

[Stone Gargoyle]

They did a whole story arc on that in the Powers comic book series published through Image.

[KillWatch]

oh yeah because a third testie is so attractive or how about the "double jointed" guy who can stuff himself in a box, he gets laid ALL THE TIME WOOOO

no novelty doesn't get you laid if you don't have the look or the prsonality or the context

[Uncle Servo]

I have to agree there (to a point anyway). "Novelty" can mean you have three ***** like Mary in Total Recall or it can mean you look like a walrus with indigestion. But the "right" kind of novelty look, now that's something else altogether.

Killwatch has a good point...

[The Baron of chaos]

Yes. Powers could mark for some flavor, but in the ne dis your "persona" appearence, personalilty and all, that make your love life happy. BUT. Is also true that as someone already pointed "beauty is int he eyes of beholder". People find attractuive very different things. And everyone had its little freakish fetish. So, I think tha tonly power that truly help all the time, is EX MA, Divine Aura and Control Others(but in this case we are on the edge of abuse).

Lets keep the comments clean.

Lets keep the comments clean.

I apologize if I in any way contributed to the devolution of this topic.

[KillWatch]

yoiu posted didn't you? JK

[The Baron of chaos]

I'm sorry, it is moslty my fault. Ehh I know I shoudl stop having only coffee, Redbull and Viagra for Lunch. But is the only thing that keep me awake for all day long!
Jokes apart i've a true problem i confuse sexuality with attraction and this cause me lot of SERIOUS problem. How many slap my face had received.

[Stone Gargoyle]

i believe that in reality super abilities will make one more attaractive, maybe not physiacally but on a genetic "my kid will have great dna level". natural selection works for all animals, even Humans. its just we pay less atention to it these days becouse of modern advances in science. a super being would bring back that primal urge of nautural selection.

Maybe, maybe not...

[KillWatch]

except that we are medicating ourselves into a weaker race

[The Baron of chaos]

Hmm never thought about that. Is true, plus add that most signal of an healthy strong gene, nowadays can be easily faked. Admit it you can never be sure who are you meeting.

Yes, what with all the drastic plastic. Plus people living longer makes them want to breed later, increasing the chance of damaged genes.
But there are those who would look upon a mutant as having damaged genes. Some are not even capable of breeding with normal humans anymore, and some godlings never were able to breed with humans.
There is definitely the added issue of whether a person would breed with someone with distinctly non-human or animallike traits.
"Oh, I love you, Wonder Weasel, but what about the children?"

[The Baron of chaos]

On Godling I disagree. Myth told us tha tpeople like Zeus do the IMPOSSIBLE to mate like crazy(he turned into a swan, a golden rain, someone else deceased husband and even turned the object of his love into a cow in order to mate with her as a bull!!) And succesful mating, Demigod come from this.

Yes, but I am taking about the ones who cannot shapeshift. There is a reason he had to take other forms to mate.

[KillWatch]

THAT could be a premise for an entire setting the children of Zeus!! how many kids might he have had???

[The Baron of chaos]

Yes, but I am taking about the ones who cannot shapeshift. There is a reason he had to take other forms to mate.

Yes to avoid being caught. He probably considered it a challenge. A single godling wiht no shapechanging powers could simply use his VERY high MA and PB(even if sport inhuman outlook) to get girls. And generally most golding knew at least metamorphosis human spell. Remeber this guys live upon worshipping. Seducing a woman is not that harder than making 100 people sacrfice their first son to you.
Zeus had lot of kids, the most infamous is Hercules.

IIRC, the Rifts Pantheons book says that it was a wonder Zeus wasn't named the god of lust.

[The Baron of chaos]

And he is nothing compared to Splyncryth , the "cutest tentacle" of the megaverse, surrounded all the time by blind warrior women, ready to play "Hentai Overfiend 2" with him. Splyncryth should wear a giant pimp hat. don't know why but i think he would look cool wiht it. Problem is to find one laerge enough for his eye

[Stone Gargoyle]

They numbered in the hundreds. Seriously. He even had children with his children.

No, many gods were pure energy and would shock a flesh mate and some had very unique genitals. Some Egyptian, Hindu and Norse gods were actually both sexes. Hindu gods could only create a child by a human who ate a part of them, such as a feather.

[Sir_Spirit]

So, he was married to his Sister.

[KillWatch]

while being married to hyour sister isn't anything new no he ws married to Hera he was just deific pimp daddy playa

[The Baron of chaos]

Well hindu deities preferred manifesting themselves as Avatar, rather than mating wiht mortlas, but demigods, child of gods, are part of MANY human mythologies, and who said pure energy being can't mate with mortal woman. It does not have to be sex, just impregnation.
But again we are tlaking here about comic book styled deities and demigods. And they do it like on discovery channel.

Yes, as were Odin, Osiris and a number of Hindu gods. It is that duality aspect of power(male and female energies) being represented.

Yes they do!

[KillWatch]

then there is god and jesus

[Stone Gargoyle]

Yes, good examples of Christian mythology.
Exactly in what context are you mentioning them? Or are you just trying to interject some good discussion with religious propoganda?

[Stone Gargoyle]

Wonder Weasel

One of the team members of the now defunct MegaMammals.

just that Jesus was fathered by Yahwe is in line with all this other deific fornication

[Daniel Stoker]

No, he was fathered by the Holy Spirit through some process that still left Mary a Virgin. I'm not sure if THAT was a trick Zues had picked up though.


Daniel Stoker

[Daniel Stoker]

I'm pretty sure Zues would absolutely not leave a virgin intact after getting her pregnant. His point was the non-virginity thing, not the child. The child was just bonus.

I wasn't really being serious since yes Zeus was interested in the 'getting down' part and seemed to not care much at all about if there would or wouldn't be kids.
