| Have you ever dated anyone you found physically unattractive only to fall in love with them later? Posted: 6/27/2009 1:54:42 AM | It happens all the time that people aren't immediately attracted to someone but over a period of time get to know them and they have a certain something about them they find attractive and love can grow. Power, sparkling personality, intelligence, humour, quirky, cest for life and creativity are all qualities that can overcome a lack of physical attraction.
Think of celebrity crushes that you have that aren't what you would initially call attractive but they have something about them. Fern Britten for me! | |

Posted: 6/27/2009 12:34:15 PM | On here I have to admit I do look for something in particular...that is alot taller than me and a certain ruggedness....however 10 years ago I ended up having a long relationship with someone who was sooo not my type, a little quirky looking and only 6ft but he had the ability to bring me to my knees laughing....he turned out to be the love of my life so far...sighhhh  | |

I'm also a big believer in chemistry and instinct.
Take my ex missing a couple of teeth, losing his hair, beard and glasses, skinny as a rake but in bed AWESOME. If you judge a book by the cover Then you judge the look by the lover (ABC) | |

My mum always says looks fade in time a personality doesn't - This time Im going for personality , you can be the best looking man in the world but if you dont make me laugh and smile then I won't be sticking around.
Glad to hear it.....
I think I am strange for a bloke where I like to get to know people before I make a decision.... for it the mental is as important if not more than the physical....
give me a women who challenges me, makes me think and makes me laugh anyday of the week
can i ask a hypothetical question to those who say that looks are the most important thing... playing devils advocate:
if you were seeing someone and some horribly bad was to happen to them.. and they no longer looked the way they did? what would you do? | |

Posted: 8/5/2009 1:25:08 PM | | Thats a good question spice and I'd like to say that it wouldnt make any difference but I cant honestly say that it wouldnt. A person who no longer looked the same as they did due to an accident might also change in other ways. Lets face it any one of us would suffer a massive blow to our self confidence if an accident scarred our face. It would have to have an impact on the way we viewed ourselves and the way other people viewed us. Hard to say unless it happened. | |

Posted: 8/5/2009 1:54:56 PM | Being an ugly old sod like I am I often have women who don't fancy me fall in love with me once they see that good looks aren't always everything and that personality and humour are just as powerful so it just goes to show that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
I could very easily fall for a lady that might not be seen by some as being beautiful but if she had a good heart and a caring nature and sense of humour what more do you want?
vv...That always helps too!! | |

Posted: 8/5/2009 2:15:36 PM | Yeah a few years ago I met a guy who was totally not my type but for some reason I continued to see him. We stayed together for 3 years and even got engaged. Looking back now I realise I was not in love with him and the lack of sexual attraction never got any better. We were more like brother and sister at the end. A brother and a sister who hated each other. It was a wonderful time in my life  | |
