I'm testing out my hypothesis that almost everyone thinks his or her significant other is quite attractive. Please vote honestly, you don't have to worry about offending anyone, they can't see who you voted for.

Well, just a guess, but one of the top reasons for "pursuing" a relationship is looks. When you first meet/see a person you base most of your initial impression on their looks. Sooo, Im guessing most of the people (who arent desperate) will vote yes.

I think it'll be one of my biggest downfalls with women...but my ex was really cute. no denying it. But I didn't think she was perfect, nor was she better than everyone else...she didn't appreciate that too much. 
I just can't fathom how you can say that someone is perfect and no one else could touch him/her, but not marry the other person. Sounds like bullsh*t to me, but apparently lots of people have that ability. I don't think I'll ever find THE perfect person, but I can deal with that...ehhhh, too much explaining, me tired.

my spider sense tells me something is wrong in the bedroom :0
Good point, I would guess the large number of people would fall into these 3 categories
1) Got fat after they were married
2) Were friends ahead of time, and based the relationship on more than looks (ie became really good friends and then fell in love/love is blind)
3) Had lowered their expectations
Or, to tie in with the first statement, The longer you spend with someone the more time you have to find good things about them (pretty eyes, nice smile, etc)
He better be!
Turning down guys partly 'cuz of their looks is partly why I'm still single. So if I'm dating a guy, he would have passed the physical attraction and looks criterion.
He better be hot!
But to be honest, I wouldn't say my significant other is hot if he's not. I already said elsewhere that if my significant other started to gain weight (having nothing to do with a particular health problem), I'll give him a warning ticket. And I'll be willing to work with him to lose the weight. However, if he shows no will power to lose the weight and maintain it, forget him--particularly if there are no kids in the pic. There's no excuse for gut and no excuse for overweight. I just don't find myself attracted to overweight people. I'm also worried that if he develops or has bad eating habits, I would also copy it subconsciously. That would mean that I'm likely to add weight. I want someone that eats healthy and has a sense of moderation.
*Of course my use of the phrase "add weight" refers to significant weight gain. I don't mean gaining 1-3 Lbs and questionably 4-5 Lbs.

hehe ouch
Just joking, but you definitely don't fool around.
PS Its possible to fluxuate like 10-20 lbs without getting anything resembling a gut. I go from 185-205 depending on my level of activity, etc. Extra weight doesnt always mean extra fat.

Probably cuz I'm alone in the bedroom
(Note the "ex"...) "PS Its possible to fluxuate like 10-20 lbs without getting anything resembling a gut. I go from 185-205 depending on my level of activity, etc. Extra weight doesnt always mean extra fat."
Yeah, I know. Technically speaking, there are overweight people who aren't fat. They're overweight due to muscles gained.
I was referring to plump/chubby/obese type of weight gain. And in spite of that, I don't really find a musclebound guy attractive. I like muscles on a guy, but I mean give me a break with steroids. I like just moderate and naturally gained muscle. Of course the former are extreme cases.

Gotcha, and a good number of women like the natural muscle look. Thankfully its the easiest one to come by
LOL!
Got some news for you guys. Age takes a toll on the body. Stress takes a toll on the body. PREGANCY AND CHILDBIRTH take a massive toll on the body! Hot babe one day, old hag the next. But if you ever really loved her, it doesn't really matter because, SUPRISE! You've got hair growing out of your ears. Mr. Happy doesn't quite respond like he used to. You have to buy an expensive sonic toothbrush because your gums are starting to recede. You look in the mirror and you don't know what happened! What happened was, TIME... and none of us are immune to what the sun, pollutants (including the ones you ingest willingly), gravity, and so on do to your physical body over time.
This is the thing: Hopefully, the experience of getting married and raising children together will make you grow up enough to realize that youth and beauty are just appetizers.... the real sustenance comes from making something meaningful of your lives.
well said.
a while ago, Isla, you said you were leaving this forum. I thought you wouldnt be here much at all, but lately, I've been reading some damn good replies to threads, I look at who wrote them, and I'm not surprised.
Thank you, guapo337.
(Oh, and it's just my summer break... I have to be in class all next week and then a few weeks after that, I'll be back at work during the day and working on my MA at night. But I could never really leave here permanently.

My SO is hot, and it's the reason I stammered through asking her out, fortunately for me it was only the packaging of a beautiful person.
Had a long talk with my wife once when she was concerned about her looks (I think she's gotten up & her hair was still messy or something) anyway... For me it isn't so much about how my SO looks @ the moment, but rather my perception of her; the most attractive, caring woman I've ever had a relationship with.
We were married the day I went to court asking for (& won) custody of my daughter, for her to forgo the fancy marriage & get married on a Thursday morning is just a small sample of the sacrifices we're willing to make for each other.
If for some reason, it were to all end tomorrow, she'd probably qualify as the love of my life for the rest of my life.
We've been together 6 years as of July 4th.
I grabbed one hot chick's ass while we were still dating, but ended up turning the offer of more down because I decided I would have a seriously hard time finding a better person than my wife.

Yeah, my wife is still pretty hot. 38 years old, one kid, and she still looks great and turns heads when she's in a bikini.
