I was just wondering, because I've heard that "love at first sight" is really lust at first sight and usually is influenced by physical appearance. However, I was wondering if less attractive people also experience instant chemistry or butterflies in the stomach or if only the more attractive people were the lucky ones.

I'm not putting anyone down, and yes, I know that different people have didn't ideas of what's attractive, but let's face it. We usually see people with partners who equal them in the looks department. For example, we see Brad Pitt with Angelina Jolie and not Roseanne.

Actually, if some of you are curious about my appearance, I'm 5'7" 1/2 and weigh about 135 lbs. I have a good figure and I have short brown hair, brown eyes, and glasses. I've been told that I have a pretty face. However, some people think I'm attractive and others don't. I guess it's all subjective.

That's an interesting question...as someone who will freely admit that looks matter, I wonder the same thing. Do partners of people who are generally considered unattractive find these people attractive or just look past the exterior?
I have dated one guy who I was not physically attracted to, but it took a very long time for me to see enough of his personality for me to be attracted to him.

True beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and there's no telling what will make people fall in love.
Why is it that you see couples where one person is highly attractive and the other one isn't? Obviously the attractive person sees something in the one that others perceive to be unattractive. A lot of people have a charisma/inner beauty that will shine through no matter what.
We all have our little fetishes too. I happen to like men with muscular bodies and well-defined abs, but I know several women who like their men to be built more like cuddly teddy bears.
While there is certainly such thing as lust at first sight (which can often be confused for love at first sight), I fully believe that anyone can experience it no matter how attractive you perceive them to be.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Have you heard that one? Someone who you think is unattractive may find someone else very attractive who you would think isn't so much. You might think someone is very attractive but another might not. Not everyone has the same perception of beauty or attractiveness. I think love at first sight is a charging of two auras that meet and cause electricity. A zap, Some unknown feeling when you first encounter another.

Beauty is in the eye if the beholder! Personal preference plays a crucial role in deciding what person does the trick for you! You are looking at this through the eyes of the corporate mass media that has infiltrated your better sense and judgment. How do you account for the myriad humans born to people we, as occidentals, consider not physically appealing? India wouldn't be as populated as it is and neither would the African Continent. Don't be as shallow the next time you make a comment like this.

Of course they experience love at first sight. What one person views as attractive might be unattractive to another, it's all a matter of personal preference. Do you prefer brunettes, blondes, or redheads? Short, average, or tall people? Thin, medium, or thick build freckles or no freckles? Every person is going to have a different answer and that's what makes us great!

Good question. Love at first sight is often one-sided so I would say that an unattractive person could experience it. I think it is unlikely that two unattractive people would experience it simultaneously, though. Attractiveness is subjective so you never know.

Well you have to think about it. Everyone has their own definition of attractive. Everyone has a different way of looking at people. When I look at someone I will not lie I do look at their appearance but not so much as I pay attention to their personality. But I am sure they have experienced love at first sight.

I think so. As you say, Love at first sight really doesn't just mean being smitten instantly by looks- I hold to the theory that it's more chemistry. So sure unattractive people can immediately hit it off right away, too.

what a shallow question - everyone has feelings and beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. So, the answer is yes, anyone can experience love at first sight.

yeah, contained during a combat I reported "you do no longer even like me" to which the reaction grow to be "i such as you." It grow to be the 1st time it grow to be reported by way of the two human beings in this relationship. We fought like cats and canines the 1st 6 months, and are actually hitting the three 300 and sixty 5 days mark.
