I'm a pretty good judge of character. And while looks might be the first trigger in most cases, I can usually tell if someone is a douchebag early on. I'm not attracted to douchebags in the least bit. I'm not so desperate that I'm going to hook up with one- plenty of options out there. So, while a guy may be physically attractive in my eyes, sometimes 10 minutes of conversation is enough to let me know to run away, and quickly.
I also think as you get older, you become choosier and less inclined to tolerate crap, even if it's from a good looking guy.
