more questions to ponder

[jules]

can a very strong mental attraction make up for a lack of physical attraction? how about vice-versa -- can a very strong physical attraction make up for a lack of mental attraction?

discuss amongst yourself.

Smiling and being Nice is good


Beautiful and Sexy is Good

Not as Prettey can be made up for by Nice/Smiling Happy

Speaking from experience (sadly), being good looking/physically attractive is not enough (for me, anyway). It is a very sad situation to look at someone you are in a relationship with, and realize that they have no understanding of what you're thinking at all....that they are just absolutely light years away. They can be very lovely on the eyes, sweet, and charming....but it just doesn't work in the long-term.

Conversely, I find that you become more attracted to some people after you know them for awhile because, even though they might not be the pretty poster boy, there's other connections there, and you're not always reining back and trying to explain yourself.....not sure that it would be enough if the person wasn't at least a little bit physically attractive to you before though, you know?

I agree with KHart about people becoming more attractive over time. I think its because their personality is reflected in their actions. Heck, even that depressed, bald, drunk who steals from his mother in the movie Sideways kinda grows on me.

Beauty is only skin deep. Your heart is your real beauty.

and outer beauty fades with time.

I do think chemistry is a must.
