Is it normal to have to be physically attracted to my partner?

I just can't romantically love someone I'm not physically attracted to AT ALL, no matter how attracted I'm to his personality. I think being a woman, I'm as much driven by my biology as by my mind. Without physical attraction, we can only share a friendly love.

    It's normal. It's just not politically correct to say it out loud...which is bullshit. But for me, personality adds alot to appearance and the other way around. I wont fall in love with a girl who is pretty but acts like a dumb cunt from hell, but I can easily fall in love with someone who won't strike me as beautiful from the first moment but just rubs me the right way personality wise.
    Will I fall in love with a morbidly obese girl? No. But she doesnt have to be a top model if she's got the right personality.

    They call you Mr personality because you're so ugly...

    What if he was physically perfect in every sense that you admired, but had a really ugly personality.

    I learned the hard way to never judge, or date people for their looks. It's useless.

    I know this sounds cliche, and I know that saying that also was cliche... but for me, the personality and the outlook that person has on life really is the deciding factor. I could care less if he looked like Frankenstein. (Who I think is kind of h-o-t)

    I think initial attraction through physicality is important, then you go in deeper and if they have a killer personality too then BOOM. You're dang lucky.

    I once dated the perfect girl for me. She had an outstanding personality, was nice, and was a good person. I wanted so much to fall in love with her. It never happened because I just wasn't physically attracted to her.

    I think the vast majority of people are like that.

    Yeah I'm the same way. I used to hate myself for it and try to date guys solely based on their personality and just get over myself but I was miserable trying to make myself essentially LOVE them. Especially knowing that some of those guys probably wouldn't have dated ME of I were unattractive to them. It's normal.
