Is physical attraction important in a relationship?

In truth I find a fat, bloated, warty 48 year old equally intriguing to my sexual being as a mid 20's fit woman with a heaving bosom and slender hips.

I like sarcasm.

2 things...


1) redwings win!!
2) beer; helping ugly people have sex since 1862 link

I remember when I was younger.... I wanted to marry a hot, intelligent girl. Wow, ignoranance is bliss. I would settle for a mediocre chick that weighs less than 130lbs and has a full time job....

"You can't see personality across a room."

I use that saying way too much, but it's true. It's natural to look for people that appeal to you on some level physically. But when you begin to fall in love with someone that maybe just started out as a friend due to their less than perfect physique or looks, then everything fades a bit. You may see the girl or guy that you love as a very physical attractive person, because of their personality and for the things that you're actually in love with.

Just like if you're with someone who's considered gorgeous by a lot of people, but you have nothing in common and can't stand many of their personality traits. Eventually, even the thought of her face makes you cringe just because she's so nasty on the inside. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." That really is a very accurate saying.

Example: I'm a bow wow. My fiance loves me. Therefore he thinks that I'm beautiful. Sucker.....

i saw an article in a magazine once.

this guy was overweight and this hot blonde was attracted to him. she stuck with him for a few years and then he decided to lose weight for her. so he lost like over 100 pounds and looks good again. his motivation was her.

If You Wanna Be Happy
Jimmy Soul

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he married her and then she starts
To do the things that will break his heart

But if you make an ugly woman your wife
A-you'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ug-a-ly woman cooks meals on time
And she'll always give you peace of mind

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Sax solo

Don't let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Though her face is ugly, her eyes don't match
Take it from me, she's a better catch

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Spoken:
Say man!
Hey baby!
I saw your wife the other day!
Yeah?
Yeah, an' she's ug-leeee!
Yeah, she's ugly, but she sure can cook, baby!
Yeah, alright!

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife

Yes looks are important but so is personality.Fortunately for me I got a dude who's good looking and good to me

Btw,Skoorb,watch how you dis the older ladies,I'm no fattie and no warts either

 

[Howard]

Yes.

 

[alkemyst]

People who say looks are not important are lying to themselves because of what they see in the mirror.

Physical Attraction is the reason you want to have sex, their personalities are why you fall in love.

Sure if you knew an 'ugly' friend long enough you can get around that....but that's rare.

As you age together and lose your 'looks' you usually build more bonds and the 'looks' become less important...however there is a high amount of older folk divorcing, citeing lack of sex and deterioration of appearance (not everyone ages gracefully).

It's a sad thing and people try to say they are better than thou and they date for personality...however I have yet to see anyone saying that to date an ugly person...they always use the personality as the easy out, even if the guy or girl has a spectacular one.

Heh. I was ready to mock you until I saw your post dripping with sarcasm.
