Would you get into a relationship with someone who you are not attracted to?

I started this discussion after reading the news about Hugh Hefner - the founder of playboy and Crystal Harris, the Playboy Playmate of the month for December 2009. As you know, Hugh Hefner is old and Crystal Harris, well lets just say she's young and beautiful. They were about to get married but she called it off and claimed that she was never attracted to hefner in ther first place. That was one slap in the face for Hugh and I pity the guy. It seems to me that he was used by Crystal and that she played with his feeling all along. Will you be able to get into a relationship with some who you do not like just for the fame, money and career?

I was in a relationship where I didn't like the girl, it was way back. I had to make my ex jealous at the time so I courted this girl who, I knew, had a crush on me and easily made her say "yes". I know it was cruel but I was young and stupid. I'll never do it again because I saw how affected she was when I said it wasn't working out. She somehow knew I was playing her but still put her heart on the line.

I had the same experience back in high school but instead of ending on a happy note, I got a slap in the face instead. ouch!

i think if i am really poor already and no money in the bank or the pocket, i will be willing to have a relationship with someone so that my stomach will not hurt. but then it will still be a nice thing to really love somebody even without the money and gold :)

True love comes only once in a lifetime together with your happiness and all the feelings bundled with it. Who knows, the one who might be feeding you on your hungry days might the one.

it mostly depends on what one wants out of the relationship. because typically, each person does want something... be it love, intimacy, companionship, partnership, financial or intellectual pursuits. as for me, after my most serious relationship ended, i tried settling for something that is with less emotional involvement but i could not continue on. it wasn't just the physical attraction that is missing, no matter how good looking and financially stable the guy is... i just couldn't be in a relationship with someone without the emotional attachment. i won't go for fame, money or career advancement. those are not my motivation in a relationship at all.

Hi, there! :) There are really such persons who would have a relationship with someone just for fame, especially for money.. I have known certain persons who are like that. I dont know.. If I would be given a chance to choose, I would choose to be with someone I love even though he don't have a lot of money than be with someone I'm not attracted to just to have money. :)

We share the same thought, you won't be happy in a relationship where there's no love involved.

I could not force myself to be with someone who I find not attractive I mean not only physically. Maybe I just have other priorities like happiness and love not money and fame. I know many women and also men married someone who is rich and fame and not necessary attractive and intelligent. But this is their choice. I know myself and I could not do it.

Definitely not... I think it's so wrong to be in a relationship without love. Its unfair for the other person to get along the relationship. I am against it and no matter how big the money or the fame is at stake, I will never enter such relationship and lie about my feelings. Money can't buy love and fame can't give happiness...

I agree with you, money may make the world go round but the real happiness lies in your connection with people. The more you fake the feeling, the sadder it gets. I just don't know how other people do that.
