that is a big question i know. but when both of you encountered each other first time there was only one thing that is the beauty of some one.which i think. that can prompted to other one to go ahead.
so what was in your story. if he or she had not been beautiful or handsome . would you have loved her in the same way.???

According to me, beauty is the first thing that is essential for people to get attracted. Only after people come to know about each other, real love starts. For two people to come together initially, there should be some hing attractive & beauty seems to be best option.
Happy Lotting

I agree taztheone. It is unfortunate. I know many people talk about inner beauty. And to a great extent they are right as well. But when it comes to attraction, not many would be happy with an unattractive person. Even a baby turns towards the person with pleasant face. The other day I read about a Chinese guy, who had all stones coming out of his body (Indiainfo.com). I would like an honest answer how many of u all would feel ok to sit besides him in a bus, forget about attraction. I know we all would feel sorry for him, no doubt about it. But, other than that, physical appearances do make a lot of difference. Of course people who do not have such rare diseases can always make up in someway by using better clothes, better hair styles, better way of talking etc. That can take attention away from the drawback. But in such cases, no amount of other atributes can really take away the attention, can they? Sorry for being so brutally honest. And I am glad some doctor felt inclined to perform a little surgery on the poor soul. Hope there will be more who will do it, and hope he will also become acceptable amongst the rest.

Very well said vandana. However if the person is not ugly, apart from beauty, there are other factors which can attract people. This includes style, behavior, performance & so on. This will get people attracted towards that person, but still beauty is the easiest point of attraction because even a stranger will get attracted seeing the beauty. The character &inner beauty comes afterward so that the relation can go strong in the future.

You know you're right that is a hard question because it is how it is, and you can't help falling in love with who you fall for. I will say that I love my husband very much and if he were to lose his looks (he's very handsome btw), I would still love him regardless because he's a beautiful person on the inside and outside, and it just shines through. We had a case of "lust at first sight" so we were very physically attracted to each other when we met. Yes I'd say we're both attractive, very tall, lean people who dress well. Well, if my husband looked different then than it wouldn't have been really him that I was meeting? I was immediately attracted to him because he was very tall and handsome to begin with, but if he would have been shallow or a jerk, then I wouldn't have been interested in him to begin with.

what i think when we are in relation we only consider the internal beauty.
but when we dont know the person we are only curious about the external beauty that is the practical bitter truth.
no body goes directly to the person who is not good looking even how beautiful he or she is internally. but they prefer to go the externally goodlooking.
wish everyone can care initially for internal one.

Hi, friend.
For me, there is no relation between love and beauty. I prefer loving all as myself not even thinking about beauty.
As for loving in the sense the person i would like to marry, then, beauty comes into play. I would love to have a beautiful life partner. But, the difference again lies in the interpretation of beauty, whether it is the external charm or the internal beauty of thoughts. For me, the latter one forms the real entity.
Happy Mylotting!!

I got to know my husband when I was still a teenager, so I didn't have any reference on the definition of being handsome lol. It was his kindhearted and caring traits that made me fall in love with him. Physical appearance will vanish as you get older, but kind heart stays forever.
