Have you ever found someone especially unattractive on first sight, then a few weeks later, became attracted?

Question

to them? Can this happen? How?

Answer 1

Their personalities change your mind about them. When you develop feelings for them that also changes how you look at them! You've heard the saying "You see them in a new light".

Answer 2

Because beauty is truly skin deep and vice versa. True beauty is on the inside and even if a persons looks aren't all that great to you at first if they are beautiful on the inside, the longer you know them the more attractive they will become to you. It also works the other way too. I have know people who on first site I thought were gorgeous but the more I got to know them and found out how horrible and nasty they really were the less attractive they became to me.

Answer 3

That's real attraction. You are maturing to the point that you realize that how someone looks to you is really based on their personality.

Too often, people assume that good looking folks naturally have a nice personality--which is often not the case. In that case, a great looking person can start to look pretty bad after just a short while.

It sounds like you are getting to know the person--and that's what key to real attraction.

Answer 4

Initial attraction is a great feeling but it takes more for the long run. My hubby and I met on a blind date and honestly he didn't really appeal to me in the physical sense. He wore a plaid flannel shirt, a big ol belt buckle and cowboy boots - it was awful but there was something about that twinkle in his eyes. I gave it another date and then another now he is the handsomest man in the world and it's been 15 years. I think as we get to know that someone in a deeper sense (doesn't have to be sexual) but learn more about them we find a deeper connection to them such as similar backgrounds, similar values,etc which in turn makes the other person more attractive to us that and the twinkle in their eye.

Answer 5

Of course. When you get to know the person his or her personality is what you then become attracted to. It could also be something in their laugh or a certain look in their eyes. Happens all the time.

Answer 6

Yes, my ex-boyfriend. I did not find him attractive in the least bit when I first met him, but we were together for almost 6 yrs and he was so handsome to me after the first two weeks.

Answer 7

Yeah, a few times. I fall for odd men. Something about their whole personality is just so appealing and then it's like, "Wow, he's really awesome!" Of course it never fails, the dorkier they are, the more good-looking the wife :o(

In the end I married the "hottie" every other girl wanted - but I just don't see that aspect. I married him for his sense of humour.

Answer 8

Yeah, because people change and you change, so it's like things in orbit aligning.

I liked Dukes of Hazzard Jessica Simpson, more than post-Nick Lachey Jessica Simpson.

I liked Jennifer Aniston when she was with Brad Pitt, now she doesn't look so hot...

Answer 9

I'll admit I have. Once. This girl didn't meet my "blonde hair, blue eyes" standard. She wasn't totally ugly, but I wasn't attracted to her... she wasn't my type. Her personality won me over, which is strange because you should know by now that I'm a "**** 'em and chuck 'em" kinda guy that totally disregards personality. Every dog has her day I reckon.

Answer 10

Yes. My last boyfriend wasn't that attractive to me at first, but there was something about him that made me give him a chance anyway, and we stayed together almost 7 years.
