I've noticed that the better I get to know someone, the more their image changes in my mind depending on our relation and the person himself. What do you think?

Yes, absolutely! When you get to know a person's character, they become more or less attractive to you, in accordance with your feeling for them.

That's what happens. But, your original question does not follow the second sentence. What is inside, can it make you forget what is on the outside. To a point. There will always be a barrier of some sort. For example I have a very good male friend I would never marry him because he is not my type. Therefore, what is inside cannot forget what is on the outside. Good question.

I think that it is definitely so. And I think the opposite is true also, in a way. The most beautiful people can become unattractive when you get to know them. I think that there are some people who make you feel good about yourself, and those people are priceless no matter how they look, not that all people are not priceless in some way, but some people make you feel that way about yourself, or make you think, "I'm really not as good as you think". Maybe that is what love is, the sense of yourself that someone else gives you. I am lucky to say that I married someone who makes me feel that way, and I am reminded of it everyday when I have that feeling.

When it comes to other peoples' looks, I really don't find myself to be a shallow person. I usually find someone attractive first because of their attitude/personality.
But when it comes to looks for my OWN self, I think I am a bit shallow. I guess it is mainly because I am so hard on myself. I feel like there is a lot of ugly hate inside of me, so I really only have my looks to compensate. This is a terrible thought, but it is an easy, lazy thought. I guess it distracts me from the real problem of my "inside" self. I'd rather improve upon my inside self- and find comfort- over my looks anyday.

WHILE IN MY 20'S I WAS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE WAY A PERSON LOOKED ON THE OUTSIDE. NOW THAT I AM IN MY 40'S I'M MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE INWARD MAN. I RATHER HAVE A MAN WHO IS NOT SO GOOD LOOKING THAT WOULD TREAT ME LIKE A WOMAN THAN TO HAVE A MAN WHO LOOK AS IF HE STEPPED OUT OF A MAGAZINE AND TREAT ME LIKE A DOG.

I think it shows great maturity, and the ability to move past the outside, whether it's awesome, or really bad!

Yes, but you have to truly get to know them.
