.... This is a question I ask my self every single day. I am in a long distance relationship and she has to be the greatest person I've met... but then again there isnt much of a physical attraction. So everyday I ask myself if I can deal with that... because Im thinking of moving down by her... and I'm not really sure... love is there for sure.. physical attraction not so much. I still haven't come up with an answer, its a tough thing... are you willing to give up love over something like looks? But then again there should be atleast SOME physical attraction. I'll probably be pondering this for quite some time myself trying to figure it out.

A few zits here or there, sure. Anything that approaches pizza-facish, it would depend on who they are. If I knew them well and for a while beforehand, possibly. If you think about it, if some random person comes up to you on the street, the only reason you would have to want to date them is some sort of physical attraction. If the physical attraction is thwarted be extremely bad acne, the likelyhood of a date in the future is closer to nil than it would be for someone without bad acne. However, if you meet someone in a club or some organization where you've spent time with them before, then it changes things around and the acne may not play as big of a role since you know about their personality (however little it may or may not be). Afterall, we'll still sexual creatures, and if there isn't a sex drive (ie physical attraction) from the start, then we don't really have an incentive to persue a relationship.

If it's real love, you won't have to ponder.

I put yes, but if it's so bad that you feel like you're in a Sienfield episode...well probably not.

It depends. I'm willing to accept a few pimples if she accepts the fact that my penis looks like a pimple...

I dont ponder anything except about the fact that there isnt physical attraction. You can have love without physical attraction. I know I wont give up what we have over it, but no physical attraction is still slight worrisome for me. It feels like Im cheating her out of something... like I feel like Im cheating her out of someone who would find her physically attractive... know what I mean?

Sounds like you're just meant to be best friends. I know I wouldn't want to be in a romantic relationship with someone who isn't physically attracted to me. To me, that would mean we're not supposed to be romantically involved. Yes, I would feel cheated because I wasted my time with her when I could have been looking for that someone special.

BTW, a "friendship" love is just as special as "romantic" love, in my opinion.

We have a winner! :)

When you really love a person, all that stuff stops mattering to an extent that is hard to imagine before you get to that point.

Do her a favor and end it.Everybody deserves to be with somebody who thinks they are desirable.I cannot tell you what it does to a person's self-esteem to be made to understand that your partner doesn't find you attractive and that they've somehow "settled" for you. If you care for this woman,let her go to find somebody who truly desires her.

Well I do find her desirable and attractive in every single way except phsyically, of corse I dont tell her this (the phsyically part that is), I wouldnt let her think that and hurt her self esteem or her feelings. Everything just feels perfect except for that, and it doesnt really bother me much except that Im just worried it may cause problems later... but I really dont see that happening, because even if Im not physically attracted to her Im very attracted to her as a person. I do tell her things like shes beatuifal because she is as a whole person. So its not so much a question of that, its more of can a relationship work in the long run without physical attraction... but you know noones perfect, but shes about as close as it comes for me except for the physical attraction.

But she will figure it out, the only question is when and in what context.A part of romantic love is passion.There is nothing quite like making love with somebody who wants you badly Let her go,because you will be cheating her
(and yourself) big time if you end up marrying her.

i don't think i could deal with total pizza face, but a few pimples wouldn't turn me off from an otherwise wonderful girl. i do, however, really love beautiful skin, it's something i really appreciate.

*sing* What love gotta do.. gotta do with it.. who need a heart when a heart can be broken. *stop*

Ooops, sorry. Didn't know this thing is on.. *knock knock*

*LOL*

Ok, the answer to this question is very simple. It's YES and NO. Scratching your head yet? Good. Most good looking girl don't have the personality. They R like rose, look but don't touch. Their are girls out there that have everything. A killing look and a southern bell personality. But like everything is good, it is also short in supply. I have seen a lot of ugly girls and their personality will make up for their looks.

So the real question is "Where do you draw the line?" Ugly and sweet or beautiful and mean? (Hint: Most girls lose their beauty after their preg.) So if you want to fuc just for a few days or weeks, then go with the beautiful girls. But if U really want to settle down, you have better chance with the ugly one.

For me, the not too pretty and not too sweet. :)
