Does love care what you look like?

Question

Great answers. I need more time to consider the best and of course give my reason.

Answer 1

not unconditional love <3

Answer 2

Beelzebub is living a sad, lonely life. Of course platonic love is possible. And it does exist. I have several friends of the opposite sex that I love, but certainly not as I love my husband. I also have friends of the same sex that I love dearly.

But as looks go, I have to tell you about my ex mil. She was never what one would call beautiful. In fact, even when she was a young teenager, she was singularly unattractive. And yet, she never lacked for a boyfriend. She married her husband at a young age and they were married up until his death. After he died, she had a boyfriend almost twenty years her junior and he was a good looking guy. I don't think its looks so much as it is personality. Many women that are called beautiful really aren't. They just have something that makes them sparkle. And there are other people that are quite attractive but are lonely because they have personality issues that keep people from seeing their physical beauty.

Answer 3

There's nothing shallow about love!
People's look change all the time.
True love means loving someone for who they are, NOT how they look. Liking how a person looks is just simply being attracted to a person, or liking what you see.
Love does not judge a book by it's cover!
Love does not care about money or posessions.
Love only cares about the heart of the person.

I'll give you an example: I find Tom Welling to be one of the hottest looking guys. Do I love him? I cannot honestly say I love him because I don't know enough about how he carries himself or what he is like to develop to say either way. I would have to get to know him for myself first! So I am only attracted to him.

But I do love everyone in a Christian kind of way, because God loved everyone first.

Answer 4

Very interesting query! Even more are the answers. Sheds light on the "programming" the masses have endured.
"Love" does not "feel" nor care, Love IS.
There are SO many expressions of Love just as there are as many definitions / explanations.
Are you asking about Human-kind ("Man" made) Love or the Un-Conditional Love our Creator, the Divine ALL, wishes for us to accept, know, show, share and express?

It is Human-kind that places conditions and limits on OUR Love and how we share / express this "Love" with ourselves and others. The battle between our mind and heart keeps us distracted from the "Truth" of / in Love. Our mind likes to distract us by giving thought to un-worthiness, even though our hearts know we are ALL worthy, hence the battle. Acceptance being the "key".
It is all a learning experience;
"Some lessons in life can not be taught nor learned, these lessons MUST be experienced to understand and fully appreciate."
Such as "Love". For self, for another, for the Divine, "Love" is how and what YOU manifest, believe and place Faith in.
Listen to the rhythm of your heart beat as this is where Truth in Love radiates.

Answer 5

No love doesn't matter how you look, but if people are looking more for someone good looking then they are more likely to have lust instead of love

Answer 6

That depends what kind of love. Our homogenized culture tends to focus on one or two types of love; that of familial love and that of romantic affection /lust (usually just called 'love'.)

Ancient Greece recognised different types of 'love'.

'Storge', 'thelema', 'agape', 'philia', 'paiderastia', 'eros' etc.

When I was young I heard people say (about ugly faces):

"Even a mother couldn't love that face"

Answer 7

Once you have it within it radiates outward and there is no doubt about this. Everything reflects outward. Think about yourself and how you feel and look in a mirror.

Answer 8

Yes and no. I care what my husband and girls look like, health-wise. That's because I care about their well-being, but I don't care what color their hair, skin, etc is, if that's what you mean.

Answer 9

Nope, not even a little bit. Although it can't hurt if you dress up a little, like this fine set of threads I'm wearing in my avatar, classy!

Answer 10

Romantic love? Definitely... It's all based on looks, in the end.

Platonic love is an interesting ideal, but it simply doesn't exist. Could you fall in love with a person of the same sex without being homosexual? I doubt it. Therefore, it suggests that love, all love, is biologically based.
