Is it normal to be attracted to people who aren't even attractive

I find that whenever I have a crush on someone who is older than me, they're
never actually attractive. I don't know what it is exactly that draws me to them, it's really weird.

Whenever I just see a picture of them, I'm like gross, but when I see them in real life I'm crazy about them.

    Yes, because there are many different levels of "attractiveness" physically you are not very attracted to this guy, however when your around him there are other attributes this guy has which you are attracted to. It is kind of contradictory of you to say that your attracted to a guy who isn't even attractive, because clearly you are attracted to him thus making him attractive :)

    Just because someone isnt physically attractive doesnt mean you cant be attracted to them. Thats called NOT being shallow

    yeah some people have an attractive presence. On Facebook, you'd think "oh, he's not cute at all!" but then you meet in real life, and maybe it's pheromones, maybe the guy isn't photogenic, or maybe he has a lot of confidence or humor. But some people, most, are more attractive in real life.

    Maybe it's not their looks that attracts you to them, but just something you can't pinpoint.

    Everybody has variety in their preference for people, so even if you like someone who is not of 'typical' attractiveness, why does it matter? If you like that person, you like him. And then you learn to love his aspects, traits and physical appearance even more. Its simple. As for the pictures vs real life matter, well pictures dont always catch a person's best side and nothing beats the real thing does it?

    Normal. I was in love for yeeeears with this ugly man. And I didn't care:)
    Maybe it's because he was so nerdy, I loved that.

    I feel ya. Some people are just so darn adorable, even when they aren't typically attractive. Like super nerds, or a chubby (not gargantuan) shy person, or some such whatevers
