is physical attraction that important in having a loving relationship?

Looks satisfies admiration, personality and character fills love. :) I have tried that my crush and my loved one courted me. I was a bit confused that time whom to choose since my crush is my dream boy. I can say that he is tall, dark and handsome and belongs to a middle class. All the girls admire him. While my loved one is not as handsome as my crush but not ugly. I like his eyes, his personality and everything he is. Though he's financial status is not as stable as the other one I chose him over my crush. And I never regretted it because I am so happy being with him.

For me, to some extent, it counts. I should feel physical attraction and desire for someone to feel love. But I'm not one of those people who would leave someone if they changed their hairstyle, and I'm not caring about media ideals of looks. Actually, my boyfriend would not be described as hot or attractive by most people, but I am attracted to him like some metal to a magnet, and that's what counts.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I certainly believe that and I have to feel attracted to the man. I think personality and shared hobbies are more important than looks. My ex husband loved animals, adored overseas traveling and he was vegetarian. He had dark brown hair and green eyes. My last two ex-boyfriends were vegan. I am a vegan female.

I think most people look on the physical attributes to a person first but honestly it is what's inside a person that really matters. When I saw my husband for the very first time, I must admit it is his looks that I first got attracted to. He is handsome but I know that our relationship won't last long because I thought he's a playboy. I didn't love him at first but I was just attracted because of his looks and I just wanted my friends to get jealous of me. After several months, he was so nice that I fell in love with him. It was his attitude that I truly love not his face anymore.

for me, having a good face is just a bonus for having a REAL relationship. relation must build with love not with lust. beauty fades and people grow old.

This is surely a discussion which always made talk and think people. I share my opinion: Often I see people who say: Physical attraction is too much important, and people who say: The heart and the personality of a person is what matter the most. My opinion is that nobody loves a person only because he is only good looking or only because he has a very nice personality, I do believe that we consider right for us a person we like and appreciate in the overall. Some people may be not too good looking or just not look like models, but at the same time they can fascinate us for their way of being. Others may be pretty and still interesting in their way of being. Love has only one rule: We must like someone.. So it doesn't matter why we like someone, the point is that we like him. So I believe it is even possible to fall in love for someone who is not so good looking, because maybe we were fascinated by the way of being of this person that physical attraction can be put in second place. In the same way it possible to fall in love for someone who is so good looking and if we give much importance to please our eyes, it could be a choice. I think there are people who are more visive, and people who are more emotional, and when you meet someone you like, it doesn't matter what is the reason, you may just fall in love (Alway if you are single of course :P).

Yes it is since this is our first impression (the first seconds) it's also something that can take my love away. Physical attraction btw has (for me) a lot to do with the way someone takes care of himself. So shaved, washed, etc.

i guess you are right but for myself, i am not like that. before i let the person penetrate with me into a serious relationship, i will be very observant of his attitude and that this must comes first and not the physical outlooks of your prospect partner to be. and i must say that, my boyfriend is not good looking. they will even say it to me. but i do not care for it is only me who sees the real beauty of that man. attitude is very important for me. i do not want to live in misery because you fall for the outside features only. well, if your love one is handsome and very good in behaviour, that will be a very good bonus or gift given to you by God. :)

For any relationship to survive, it is important that both the partners are sexually attracted towards one another. Moving on to getting into a physical relationship is a natural progression for any couple in love, although, ideally, physical intimacy should always be preceded by emotional intimacy. But again, no hard and fast rules here!

I think that you must be physicaly attracted to someone to start a relationship in a first place. Maybe with time you will find somethink else to cherish and even love in this person if you don't the physical attraction is not enough to maintain a relationship.

We often attract to the man or woman who has attractive physically, yes it is right, but love does not need the physically only, love needs what in the inside of person, because we live with the human do not with the doll, which we can just watch it without communicate and help each other. Inside beauty being the main consideration for people to building the relationship.

I think physical beauty is just the gateway to loving someone. it makes it easier to love them because emotional beauty or inner beauty is very complicated. To me its the first step to getting to know someone but don't get me wrong. Its not like i wont try to get to know someone if they aren't beautiful, its just that if i had a choice between two people i would rather choose the beautiful one and then see if we are compatible.

physical attraction is important starting after sometime while being in love we don't look the beauty only character will be important

I found that someone I was not initially attracted to at all, as I got to know him because he started hanging out with my circle of friends, his personality really came through. I started finding him attractive, and not just me! Other girls in the group did too, it was strange. He really was not a good looking fellow at all (not to be mean! but just in general terms.) But man, he had a heart of gold. However, more often than not.. I need someone to be somewhat attractive to me for me to consider dating them. I know that sounds shallow, but I'm a firm believer of the looks draw me in and the personality determines if I stay. The chemistry between us is the real deal maker or deal breaker.

Yes physical attrraction is important as it promotes being sexy and satisfaction in a relationship

Actually getting attracted to someone because of good looks is infatuation mainly,that Beauty and the Beast kind of love is ideal but rare.People think more in pragmatic manner rather than feeling natural connection,true love and all that.I have seen in many cases that people choose their colleagues or some friend from their group for dating or marriage even if that feeling of true love is missing ,that is because either its a safe option or else there is some long term profit attached to that decision.Same kind of thinking is there when they meet someone with good looks,going out with someone hot gives them bragging rights.

In all honesty, I would have a picture perfect guy in my mind, but then I get too intimidated if the guys looks a lot beautiful than I am. Besides, I do not want to get jealous all the time if my boyfriend is too handsome. I may admire a really handsome guy, but I prefer simple guys. The #1 criteria would be is that he should be able to make me laugh.

Now in new generation when people fall in love then that is only attraction and the attraction is physical attraction they not think about anything if the boy is smart then girl fall in love and if the girl is beautiful the boy fall in love. But this is not happen in arrange marriage.

My husband and I met each other online. Looks were not involved actually. It was 9 years ago. We never saw pictures of each other and never saw each other until he came here to be with me. We talked on the phone, heard each other's voices but didn't know what each other looked like... We fell in love right from the beginning for what was on the inside, not the outside.

it doesn't matter weather you have a beauty or a beast on your arm. what matters is whether that person completes you.Do you feel lost without that person in your life. Does he/she make you happy? these are the questions that matter. sometimes we fall for looks but mostly those relationships don't last. only relationships starting out of understanding and faith stay long. your love must be able to accept you as you are no matter what.
