Some people on here look nothing like their pics anyway


So which is worse. Meeting someone who looks nothing like their photo (in a bad way) or meeting someon & having a good laugh with them?

i used to hate redheads,ginger,strawberry blonde haired women i would not even take notice of them in pubs and clubs. Then i met one in a club and got talking to her after a while my opinion changed as the relationship i had with her was the best to date now i find redheads the most attractive women.

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!

Yep, initially thought no way, how can I get out of this; fast forward 30 mins and fancied the pants off him. They say sense of humour is important, well he could have laughed the knickers off a nun.

Nope. Why would you let yourself get into a situation where you could fall in love with someone you are not physically attracted to? For me, the first thing you need is to fancy the pants off that person.

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 tend to be attracted more by charisma than physical attraction, for me there are men who are just too good looking and there are men who just ooze sexuality. 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.

When I was younger I may have kissed a few stinkers in the clubs but as for actually dating them I'm afraid the answer is no. I put the hubble beer telescope away years ago!

Maybe us blokes are just more visual when it comes to what's important.

I haven't as yet no but certainly would rule anyone out.....

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.

Not fallen in love with but ended up very attracted to.

I was persued by a guy for a few weeks and just didn't find him attractive until we actually spent an evening together when out with friends, his personality completely won me over and i found him very attractive once i got to know him.

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?

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.

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!!

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

obviously i didn't find the man i dated physically UNattractive....

i just didn't fancy the arse off him....well...in fact i didn't fancy him at all at first....but there's a big leap from just not finding someone attractive to finding them physically unattractive....

and that was hard work to type cos i'm smashed!!!!!

"When you least expect it, something great will come along. Something better than you ever planned for."


You have no idea how accurate that comment is!

Nah ive never done that, but i have started seeing someone who i thought was ALRIGHT you know, not bad looking etc. Then because she was literally perfect in every way (so i thought at the time anyway) i fell in love with her fast thought she was amazing. youve got to give some people a chance but you need to be at least slightly attracted to them or whats the point.
