Why do people preach about 'Oh, beauty is on the inside, physical appearance is not important.'
I call bullsh!t on that. You don't date or continue a relationship with someone you are not physically attracted to.
So please prove me wrong. With 100% honesty, who has dated someone based on mental characteristics alone.

I understand Yves.....so in other words, they become physically attractive to the viewer. Which once again proves my point.

I just answered another one of your questions, I hope this does not sound like I contradicting my other answer.
I had a blind date a while back. The woman was alot different from my ex wife or any of the women that I have been attracted too. But sitting there all night talking with her, I realized that I could have fun with her and that I wanted to see her more. Just from talking to her I became mentally attracted to her. I was not sure about the rest. We have been dating for 6 months now and it keep getting better.
I was married for 15 years to a tall, skinny blonde. That is the type of girl physically that I thought I would date again. Body and looks had nothing to do with me going out with the girl I've been seeing.

Anyone that tells you that either beauty (physical appearance) or smartness (intelligence) is not important in a mutual, cordial and serious relationship between a guy and a gurl is definitely not saying the truth. I'll call such a person a hypocrate. However, I believe that beauty is very necessary to draw attract would-be lovers to each other, but intelligence is what services or nutures the relationship, once it has been established. As a matter of fact, often times, it does contribute to the establishment of relationships. Let me ask you this: how would you cope with a very handsome guy who has nothing positive to contribute to your life, in terms of fruitful discussions, imaginative and creative thoughts, as well as tangible pieces of advice? From the way you've framed your question, I can perceive that you're a very intelligent gurl. Of course, I'm a guy and can recognise a smart lady's line of thoughts anytime I see or encounter one. This is not brainwashing though, it's a fact. May be we could be friends, if you don't mind. Cheers!

A physical attraction that one person has for another is relative. The definition of physical attraction from my point of view embodies more than the shapes and angles that make up a person's face but a combination of intricate factors that I perceive from that person in which I am physically attracted. So yes, I have been attracted to some one that some one else may not have been.

I would have to say that statement is for us older people. For the young it is all about what others think. You don't want to be seen with someone who doesn't look "hot". But trust me my dear, when you get older that isn't so important. A good man or woman is made from the inside out. And trust me on this, those "Good Looking People" DON'T AGE WELL!!!! You will learn to love someone because who they are, what they have become, and how they treat others. Not by what they look like......Perfect example....Arnold Schwarzenegger....was a looker, not so much any more. Arron Spelling....R.I.P. not a good looker, married well, became very successful, truly a good man.

That is a very bold statement, but maybe you should look at it froma different angle. Have you ever looked at someone fora long time then you see their face change. They no longer look the same they looked 5 mins ago. (if you haven't then you think I'm mad) but it's the same for those who are not physicallyattractive. You look at them for a period of time till they seem different. And that" how some times you see a beautiful rich lady married to an ugly guy. Hense Beauty and the beast
