There are those who try to convince themselves that, "looks", mean nothing, in an attempt to be spiritually higher and fulfilled. Our genetic structure reaches back millions of years and often conflicts with our present day mores and pop-culture outlook.
Would anyone choose a shirt, paint colour for their living room, a car, a pair of eye glasses while blind-folded ? No. Physical attraction always comes first.
Nah, none of the above, just you, and your preferences. I've always been attracted to women of all shapes and sizes, personality is key...to me anyway. There are other things that factor in long before physical appearance becomes an issue. Just me, although nice eyes are a definate must.

Yes, and while I know that this is true (physical attraction comes first), paint, shirts, cars, and eye-glasses are inanimate objects without intelligence, personality, or character. I think what I'm trying to resolve within my own self is finding a happy medium. I know I need an attraction, but I wonder sometimes if I'm setting my standards too high (the whole package thing). I won't compromise on character and compatible levels of intelligence and wit, for example, but I'm thinking I should compromise a bit more on the physical aspects of attraction.
Ahhhhhh, who am I kidding? I want it ALL, damn it!!!

I can speak from experience, my ex., was beautiful in body and mind. Within a 20 year marriage, we may have had 4 fights. I believed that it was the perfect union. But then life happens.
Above average and unique in the looks department is what usually gravitates my desire towards another. However, when in it for the long haul looks are never enough to substantiate a relationship for any duration of time. There has to be a much deeper connection, such as that existing upon the mutual appreciation of respect, intelligence, personality, humor, shared experience and toleration.
None of the above.Whose to say what is normal as far as being attracted to someone.To each thier own.Personally as I have said on here before,the outer shell(physical looks) are not a priority to me.I am attracted to good humor,real smile,compassion for others,courteous and more.Like Indy said,as you get to knowsomones good side,it makes them physically attractive whether others agree or not.
jlw45: .to me, believe it or not, the most attractive or unattractive part of a woman is her eyes...you can see alot about a person within there eyes, if you really look
They're called "the windows to the soul" for a reason, Joel.
