Have you ever been in a relationship with someone you did not find attractive physically?Page 1 of 3    (1, 2, 3)
I always hear people say looks aren't everything, yet have you ever dated someone you didn't find attractive? I have seen people who were less attractive than someone else I had seen, yet I still found them attractive and liked them emotionally.

Yes. It sucked.

Why? I liked his personality. We was nerdy-charming. Getting physical was not too important but once we started and I wasn't interested, made me realize I wasn't supposed to be there.

I find i'm able to get physical as long as I find the person attractive, when this happens atleast for me bad sex is about no communication.

I don't expect a woman to have super model looks. But there shoud be at least some physical attraction. I have dated some average looking women. But I would not date a woman that I think is ugly.

Yes. He was one of those "nice guys" that always whine why hot girls don't date fat nice guys. He was very nice, had great personality, and wanted to get married. But, I wasn't physically attracted to him, so yes, I dumped him, and now he's telling everyone that I'm shallow. Oh well.

I have and my relationship with him, even though it started in high school, was one of the best relationships I have ever had. We were together almost 3 years. The only reason I broke up with him is because I was a dumb college kid who was never satisfied with where we were. That is the one relationship where I think if I could go back and have a do-over, I would sleep through the day we broke up, instead of breaking up.

To be honest, I'd find it insulting if a woman dated me and didn't find me attractive.

I know it's backwards, but if you really think about it, it kinda is.

Personally, I am very lax on the term 'shallow'

If you want someone that is superbly hot and super intellectual.... I mean, doesn't everyone want that already?

I think shallowness can only be described as someone unwilling to compromise.

That being said, no, I've never dated someone I wasn't attracted to. I just think it's wrong and insulting to the other person. Because intrinsically, we all want our mate to find us sexually desirable, just as much as we want them to be sexually desirable.

Dating or keeping someone around for the company?

Yes and I don't feel bad as I'm sure some have done the same for me.

I feel that it's only wrong if you are misleading the other party to either get sex, money or emotional support. That's pretty selfish and probably in most cases wrong.

I have always given everyone a chance - based on personality! Their personality shone through and made them attractive to me. GQ looks were not required! If you don't give people a chance to show you who they really are - you may very well miss out on 'The One'!

I think a lot of people have. Such relationships are often called "marriage."

Sadly,yes I have. The first long term relationship I had was with a woman who I was not attracted to at all. Why,you may ask? Good question. Let's just say I was in a different place back then. She did have a good personality and the sex was good,right up until we moved in together.

This is why I always keep a few "brown paper bags" with holes cut in them, just in case.......

OT.......If I did not find them attractive, they would be a friend and nothing more. If I am not physically attracted to someone, the chance of anything more than a close mental relationship would be about nil......

To have someone in your life that does not turn you on physically, is like reading a paperback book......great mental images, but reality not even close.....

Just my opinion.....

Funny, I will often find passing strangers physically attractive - yet none of my (limited number of) partners, if I had passed them in the street, would I have looked at and thought 'my, what an attractive person'. Yet that doesn't mean I found them unattractive either. I think that by the time two friends get to know each other and start to realise that there is going to be something more to their relationship, looks are not really important.

I met a man,at first no physical attraction but he was a great talker,brillant mind and rather funny,after a few weeks he became more attractive to me and I started to notice I was looking forward to his calls and seeing him at a friends house.

We saw each other for 2mths,had some great times togeather , he was a hell of a lover,then he moved back to WA to be near his kids,asked me to go with him but my lifes here.

Makes me wonder how many people we overlook in the search for a perfect match

That's cause you thinking of like a guy. We put such a huge amount on looks we simply cannot comprehend that a woman may fall for us completely by who we are.

I am sure you've met a girl before who, on first contact, wasn't very attractive to you. However, once you got to know her, saw that she was funny, in control, and just awesome to be around, her looks improved because of the person you saw shining through what the rest of the world saw.

That is what I think women see when they see my awesome, repulsive, ass :P

I've never been in a relationship with someone I didn't find attractive... If I wasn't first attracted to their looks alone, their mind drew me to them, and I found them attractive once I knew the whole picture... Sadly, too often I've found men I thought were beautiful were only so until they opened their mouths...
