I don't understand how people don't use common sense over being attracted to someone vs being in love. I have heard so many people say I think I'm in love when they haven't known this person for a long time and really just mesmerized by the physical appearance. Not saying beauty shouldn't be admired but not to the point it cloud the persons judgement of if they belong together or not. So many beautiful attracted people but what belies within is a whole different subject. It's like looking at a beautiful shell but when you look inside you find that everything might be undesirable but no one stops to think about those things...

A lot of people look at the physical appearance more often than what's inside. I find those kind of people very shallow.

I agree. So many base beauty on what society calls beautiful and not stopping to think about all the things that might happen to make them unhappy simply cause this person looks so appealing to the eye. It's amazing how people can be so baffled by the appearance that it causes others to become a doormat for them lol

Love and physical attraction are divided by a very thin line, and you are right about people not exploring the issues more completely before making commitments. I think the divorce rate reflects that fact.

Alot of people are being urged with emotions when they are being attracted with beautiful & sexy people... It's only lust or infatuation that only temporary... It's not love at all.
When the time that your beautiful appearance dissapear & you get to know that person & that person doesn't have good character or personally, that attraction will be gone... You will no longer be interested or attracted... And that is not love...
Because being inlove or if you love another person, you will love them with no reason, you will love them even they are not loveable at all.. You will love them even they are ugly or poor or have a bad habits or character because you accept their imperfections...

Not everything that shines is gold. This is what shallow people do. They don't go for what/how the person is from the inside, they just go for the looks. I also believe that this happens because we as a society think like that. We all prefer those who look beautiful. It kind of forces us to think that beauty is everything. I think beauty is just part of someone's personality. What matters is how knowledgeable one is or how someone is mentally.

That is true but many people come back to their senses when there is a misunderstanding or a disagreement. That is when someone realizes that the beautiful creature standing in front of them is a human being that has feelings and can also make mistakes. Then they start evaluating if they can handle whatever is coming in that relationship which was initially an attraction.
