Englishman55: I want a woman with the looks of Pammy Anderson, the drive and determination of Maggie Thatcher, the heart of Mother Teresa, the love of an angel and the intelligence of a strong and thoughtful woman, who's name I can't think of right now.
I am not asking much but I know that if I had to drop any one trait it would definately be the Pammy Anderson looks.

nicki_love: Ok.. generally speaking. You meet someone who is not normally what you would look for physically. He/She is NOT ugly but has some features that you usually bypass.. However, you begin chatting with this person by a fluke and realise that they are really wonderful.. can you put aside your feelings about their physical appearance or will you allow that to get in the way of a possible meaningful relationship?? All opinions welcomed!
Btw.. I am not speaking about myself here ok.. so please dont say "well if the man doesnt like what you look like then blah blah blah".. lol.. This is a hypothetical question! So please answer based on your opinion as if you were in the situation...
Looks aren't the main attraction for me, although there has to be a spark. But a good heart does it fot me.

If they do not fit in with the visual requirements on my radar and cannot string a decent sentence together, this here lady is not going to be remotely enlightened or entertained!

Physical appearance is important. But attraction to a person is more than that. The mannerisms, the behaviour, the attitudes etc. all combine to make a person attractive. Setting limitations based on what one 'believes' one wants blinds one to a multitude of possibilities.
We may find individuals presented in the media attractive, but that level of desire is purely physical and away from the stylists these individuals may not warrant a second glance on the street.
Sometimes the small physical flaws can make someone quite cute.
tainogirl: Its got nothing to do with lofty goals -its about knowing what you want. We all want someone don't we? Sure there is the chance of not finding them but heck it sure beats settling for what you DON'T WANT.

Well, with my face I WOULD say that
This, to me, is a great limitation of online dating in general-- there is so much more to attraction than what you can see in a photo.
Some people that I find very attractive in real life are ill-represented by photos. I mean, I already know them; so I know how wonderful they are. But I also know how they move, how they laugh, the faces they make when they're telling a story or w/e.... photos can't deliver that. So I try to "hear" the person behind the posts/profile.... and not put too much weight on the photo itself (or the lack of one), keeping in mind how limited a view that really is.

I agree it can be a good starting point to explore further....
Looks don't mean that much, but there does have to be some physical attration or else it will never get past the freindship stage. But hey I'm still single, what do I know?
I agree, we seemed so focused on the outside we neglect to see the person for who they are on the inside. I've noticed that the getting to know you phase doesn't seem to exist either. It's let's jump into bed first then maybe we can get to know each other.
looks is everything....then money...after that the car and house....lets not forget kids...who want a single mother/father.....oh and if she is two foot tall, flat head ,and big ears ....perfect....

You are spot on; looks certainly matter in getting mutually attracted whether the persons are teenagers or above 50
