What makes a truly ugly person attractive to certain people?
If they're a celebrity, granted, they have the allure of fame to balance out their bad looks (Think Mickey Rouke, Bennicio Del Toro and the baddie from Charlie's Angels 2 - Bad Irish accent by the way)
But some people on the street who are truly unattractive to me are the visual ideal to someone else. What's that all about then?
Plus if I think my boy is dreamy beyond belief am I walking around in blissful ignorance while everyone else thinks he's repulsive?

love is truly blind.
When we start talking to someone we may not be instantly attracted to them, but as we continue contact with them, we start to notice less about their looks and more about the way they make us feel.
For example when someone makes us laugh and happy chemicals are released in our brain and we get addicted to this feeling of contact and reward. We quite literally get addicted to their company and always go back for more.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone is different and what you may consider beautiful may not be the case for me and visa-versa.
I do however think that people should not look for a mate or pursue a relationship with someone based on their looks. Though physical attraction is what initially gets you, it's not what keeps a relationship alive.
I'm married to a wonderful man and I would not trade him for any other man. He might not be the most "attractive" man to many women, but to me, he's the most handsome man ever. He's kind hearted, he's smart, he's funny and is a true gentleman. I get compliments all the time on what a great husband I have, not for his looks but because of the type of person he is.
It might not work for everybody, but for me, I rather be with a person who's not the "Dr. McDreamy" type but rather a man who's going to love, honor and respect me...and thank goodness I found that man!!

It comes down to personal preferance... also if you want to get scientific....they say that partners look for certain characteristics in a mate to either match or oppose traits in themselves to produce better offspring. But...for the most part, sometimes its the quirky beauty that people like the most....maybe the person has a wonderful personality, supremely romantic, or is just really great in bed...who knows. When you're really in LOVE ... you don't notice the physical as much in the bare since... it becomes influenced by your whole perception of the person.... so yea, you might end up with someone you consider a God among men... while someone else couldn't bare the thought of touching them... but who cares.... that just means you won't have to compete with them for his attention. ...ohh and if you mean Creepy Thin Man in Charlie's Angels...He's hot....

for me I date ugly people all the time... I just pick out the good in them and focus on that. they may not be that hot but still have a pretty smile or pretty eyes or a nice build. Inside they could be sweet, caring, thoughtful, loving you know have all the stuff a girl needs. But honestly it doesnt matter about the outside cause an asshole is always gonna be an asshole no matter the looks same thing about if the person is a good person looks dont determine that.

I don't think that there are attractive and ugly people. I think that everyone is equal. It's just diff people choose to look after themselves in diff ways. If someone isn't as attractive as another then they make up for it inside with there personality or something else. Plus beauty is diff to everyone. For instance you say you bf is dreamy but others might not think so it's just because everyone is diff and likes diff qualities in people.

Allure, charm and magnetism are not the sole preserve of Hollywood, there's lots of men I know who are ugly/beautiful. Plus better being in blissful ignorance than always worrying what others think all the time.

I think its true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There would be constant cat fights if we all found the same people attractive. I also think that to find a person truly attractive, you have to be attracted to thier personality and how they present themselves.....are they confident, shy etc.

I think attraction is formed by every single person you have ever met in your life, its fact that the features of your parents comforted you for years and are something you feel (as creepy as it sounds) naturally drawn to if reflected in someones else even slightly also the features of anyone you have ever had fun with or incredible sex with if you come across someone similar looking you're gonna be naturally attracted to them. Me and my mates have very different tastes in women and I think thats just been through our asociation of features and mannerisms in the people we have met in our lives.

Everybody likes someone different the same way we choose our friends. Some we get on with some we don't. The only people who are ugly are the ones we hate ourselves. So to everybody somebody is beautiful and somebody is ugly but we'll never agree on who.
