This seems to be another quality most HPDs share. Mine was definitely pretty and also had a nice figure. Was your HPD also pretty?
In a way the best way to shatter their false self is to confront them about the FATALITY OF AGING, about the FATALITY OF DYING, about the FATALITY OF DECAY.
The more nihilist one is with them, the more likely it is that their false self will crumble.

Yeah mine was really hot.
Most of them are but not all of them.
Here's what this article says about an HPD's overly attractive appearance...
http://www.minddisorders.com/Flu-Inv/Hi ... order.html
"HPD has a unique position among the personality disorders in that it is the only personality disorder explicitly connected to a patient's physical appearance. Researchers have found that HPD appears primarily in men and women with above-average physical appearances."
I showed my HPD's picture to a few members of these forums that I've gotten to know and they didn't think much of her looks one of them said she was pretty but not amazingly so.
Well the guys I know outside of this forum all agree with me that she is incredibly hot so its hard to know who to believe.

KontrollerX, I believe that both views are correct.
I had the same question some time ago and my conclusion was that my girlfriend was very pretty, but it was not just her appearance. It's their behavior too! Their intelligence as well. One can be very sexy, charming and attractive, without having the perfect body.

IMO "bane of histrionics" sounds like he has some mental problems himself. Has anyone here noticed that NOT ONCE in any of his descriptions has he tried to determine maybe his part in the relationship breakdown?
I'm sorry but you sound like a great many men: shallow, seeks a woman only because she is "hot" and then wonder why you get what you get. When was the last time you thought of asking out an average or god forbid ugly girl to date you? Then maybe you wouldn't run into histrionic types all the time!
Quit your whining already and stop being an abusive a*hole!

He doesn't need to.
We've already established why an HPD relationship breaks down here pretty clearly.
As soon as the challenge is over for an HPD as soon as he/she has you its game over.
I found this out in my own research and recently verified it as true by talking to the mylife HPD poster in PM's.

Uh yeah I'm pretty sure this is the only histrionic woman bane ever encountered and I think she sought him out much like mine sought me out.
Not the other way around.
As for myself I will date a plane jane or a hot chick so long as either type are nice people.
"Quit your whining already and stop being an abusive a*hole!"
I think you are the one being abusive here kiddo.
Again chill out.
This post of bane's is very old when he first came here and his mind was reduced to hamburger by his HPD experience.
Realize this, put his situation into its proper context and maybe you'll understand where he's been coming from in some of these old posts of his.

My sister is gorgeous, too. Perhaps all the attention she got for being beautiful reinforced her HPD behavior. Makes sense.

I am indeed quite attractive. Very, actually. Incidentally I am also a nihilistic atheist. Throw as much existential cynicism at me as you want. I have no secret facade. I have only a genuine characteristic of insincerity. Often confused by lesser individuals as a weaklings facade, I do not need to protect myself from the world with a facade, I was done with that before I lost my cherry! Tre Immature, if you ask me.
