they are not physically attractive at all...
could you look past the superficiality and spend the rest of your life with them? this is for either male of female to answer
this is a hypothetical question, so none of the "how do you look" type answers or how unredeming I am...
it is a question for all
could you look past physical traits?

If you believe that they are you're soul-mate, then you're already head over heels and looks is no longer a concern :-)
Love is blind.

If you're in love looks don't matter. The closer the emotional connection the better the person will look. When I first met my bf I wouldn't have rated his looks that highly. Now we've been dating for 3 1/2 years, and I'd rate him very highly looks wise. I'm nothing special to look at, but he thinks I'm beautiful. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and eyes change. Too often people don't give relationships like that time to grow into their potential. The notion od initial chemistry, while great if it happens, can create unreal expectations.

One tough question... I could say yes but then.. If the person if way beyond the term "ugly", I'd think twice again... I don't think I can stay with someone who is far, far, far away from being physically appealing...
I don't want to be a hypocrite to say I only look at the personality alone... I think people would always look into physical aspects first... Aside from money, of course, there are people who would definitely disregard looks and personality in exchange for a large lump of money... Lame really...

Internal beauty is more powerful than physical beauty. I have had a couple first dates without any real physical attraction, but enjoyed the conversation so much that I came back for more. Each time, he became more attractive to me - until I could not imagine being with anyone else.

Well usually the attractiveness of a person is met to get attention, so it is unlikely that I would end up with an unattractive person since I usually seek a degree of attraction. However, if somehow I was able to get past the sage where attraction was nessacary to get my attention I think I would want to spend my life with them if I found other things in the person I liked like their personality, bonding, things we have in common, etc.

Yes, I did and couldn't be happier! The physical attraction does help, but if the person is your soul mate there is more than just the physical stuff; emotional and spiritual things are what really counts.

i'd like to think so, but i am a little shallow so i don't really know. i might find certain things physically attractive and look past the others and just remember that this is a good special person that i'm compatible with and that i love as a person, not for how they look. of course that's what i'd like to think i would say, but i really don't know.

Haven't you heard that love looks deeper than the eyes can see? This is true. Before you know it, if you look beyond what you see, you would then REALLY see. We can never truly rely on what you see anyways, that's why what we feel interferes. It's all possible and a rewarding one once you get passed the superficiality.

I hate to answer like this, but........................it depends.
Sometimes, even when you're not attracted to someone at first, the connection you make starts to make you attracted to them anyway.
However, if you are just totally not into someone at all, physically, it's impossible to have the chemistry needed for true intimacy.
I'd say that ultimately, with an open mind, it IS possible....but not very likely.

That has happened to me more than a few times in my life. I have fallen for guys that are on the average side and they were JUST great communicators. That is where the real chemistry is.
