Yes, I agree that looks are not the main reason for love to grow, depending on one's preferences of course. But personally for me , characters are the first and most impt things to decide the level of one's attractiveness.. not only the outside , but also the inside. Looks last for only a few years but good characters last for a lifetime. Though one may change in the future but at least the foundation is there to hold.Furthermore, overly good looking guys are mostly playboys and heartbreakers.

Looks are imprtant, but only at first. So first I think you need to be attracted, second you decide if you like them as a person.


beauty is only skin deep. I live in a city with many pretty girls. but as a colleague once put it. When some of them smile you can almost see the poison dripping from their fangs.

agree with tigerbay. looks fade after a bit. and once you get used to seeing the same pretty face for a while you would get used to it. persons character more important.

In my twenties looks were very important and pretty much my no 1 ctiteria (I know quite shallow but I was young), however now that I am in my mid-thirties I have definately changed in terms of what attracts me to men.


About 5 years ago I met a short, hairy but very intelligent and witty man. He asked me out on a date. I made up a pathetic excuse and declined. A few months later I met him at a dinner party and was completely floored by his wit, humour and charm. We started dating and our relationship developed. Our sex life was incredible, he was passionate, fun and giving. My friends understood why I loved this man, after the initial shock of meeting him. He had personality, charisma and he treated me like a princess. Sadly, we parted ways as we had careers we wanted to pursue which took us to different sides of the world.


Since then I have dated some good looking guys and some not so good looking guys. What makes the difference to me is their attitude. Give me a man with a spring in his step, a positive outlook, who is fun and secure within himself any day!

Looks have never been my main deciding factor. Wit, intelligence, good sense of humour, compassion and a caring heart will last longer than a cute face.

It's odd or maybe not so odd how a person who has a kind and loving heart keeps getting better and better looking the longet that you know them no matter what their outside appearance.

very true, b&p - i look at my exes and there is no pattern in their looks, only in their character (the good bits).


but the reverse is also true when you become disenchanted with a loved one, and the rose-colored glasses finally fall off! no matter how good-looking a significant other is, once you've decided to make them your ex, their great looks can't make you stay.

LOL Poppy101 reminds me of Sex and the City. Everyone has got to agree that Harry was *the* best guy for Charlotte!

When I was single, I didn't mind snogging the cute ones. That said, I'd advise going further than that until solid character is determined.


For good friends who are both single, a bit of affection (hands on the small of the back, hand-holding) can be good for both. That said, I'd advise going further until solid attraction is determined.


There's nothing worse than meeting up later to say, "It was a mistake."
