Do you believe someone has to be attractive to love them?

This guy I know is pretty alright looking, but he's married to a girl that's very very unattractive (as in an active unattractiveness). He's very much in love with her though.

I think that it's the fact that she's very caring and takes good care of his needs. Also, her character traits are a little more finely bred than his.

You have to be attractive, but not necessarily your physical attributes.

No that's so shallow I've never really be fussed about the physical apperance as long as they are clean and neat and tidy good looks wont support you and be there for you all very well having a gorgeous man/women on your arm but if they haven't got the personality then it counts for nothing. What is beauty anyway as we all have our own perceptions xx

My husband was a love at first sight deal when it comes to attraction. I thought he was extremely cute. I was 18 and he was about 25 and it was a case of "Dawhhh I'll never get someone as cute as him".

But the sexual attraction didn't come until later, after we got to know eachother, established a relationship and started getting more physically involved. He is 5'10 and 150 lbs, he has a slim physique which is DEFINITLEY not what I was used to (the majority of my exes are football players, wrestlers, tank-built atheletes and jocks) but more time passed and now I am extremely attracted to him.

I must agree with Corleone though, in cases in which there is no physical chemistry and I am not attracted to the person at all, I'm never romantically attracted to them in any way. I have tried, trust me, I have met some guys that weren't exactly good-looking but I loved their personalities but without that physical chemistry there was no temptation. I just couldn't bring myself to do anything physical with them =/

Not really, though there has to be some physical chemistry. Otherwise, you'd just want to be friends.

To quote Doctor Who...

You know when sometimes you meet someone so beautiful - and then you actually talk to them and five minutes later they're as dull as a brick; but then there's other people. And you meet them and you think, 'Not bad, they're okay,' and when you get to know them ... their face just, sort of, becomes them, like their personality's written all over it, and they just - they turn into something so beautiful.

one feels that it is very important that the the one they love is attractive, who would want to share ones self with another if they are not attractive, if you love them they are instantly attractive. so one needs to ask if they actualy love the one they say they love.
