Do you think love is blind?

Have you ever seen a couple which physically looks exactly different? What I mean is either the girl or boy is too good looking for their partner. Have you ever think what was the reason why the good looking one likes the other in the first place? Doesn't anyone close to them comment something that hurt the "not so good looking party"? I know we should not judge person by their appearance, it is the inner beauty that counts. And maybe the good looking settles to the qualities of his partner. Well that is not so bad after all. But why do you think others continue to love and live with the person who has done so many bad things to him/her? It is in our knowledge that these things are happening. Some people will say that despite of betrayals they still love the person and cannot live without him/ her. Do you believe love blinded us? Because people tend to see only what they want to see and believe... What can you say about that?

This isnt something that is being talked about for the first time.This has always been the topic of discussion irrespective of the place,weather or any thing in the world.But people still fall in love and the person they fall in love with doesnt make a difference - as in what the person is like,how he/she looks and what is the nature of that person.To be very frank i fell that people say that love is blind and i really dont know what to say.I guess more of the times its infatuation that turns into serious feeling which we call as love.And pairs that compliment each other are very rare.There are only a few relations where both the guy and the girl are extremely good looking and those pairs are made in heaven.But then for the others who think that their partner is not as good looking as they are or they feel they are not good looking as their partner the feelings part comes into play.Its feelings in the end what matters and nothing else.Irrespective of what the person looks like people still fall in love.And some also prefer having their partner as less good looking as they believe that they would be more faithful ...since having an equally good looking partner could also result in betrayal for someone else. But still its a completely personal choise and upto what on feels at the point of falling in love.

I completely agree to what you have to say.Its very true that appearance should not be the basis for faithfulness and that anyone is capable of betrayal.But the what matters is how much u think that person wont betray you and how much you could trust that person.So finally commitment should not be made on a short notice and its supposed to be long lived.So take your time...get to know the person well and then commit. The one who wished to be with you wont run away in case u take too much time but then who arent interested wouldnt stand by you for long.

I agree with you too, if the person really loves you, no matter how long will it takes... he will wait for you. That is what you called -- true love. We don't need to rush things. Thanks handsomevm!

Choosing to love someone that is not that good looking for him not to experience betrayal...I heard about that reasoning too from others. Well it is really a personal choice and we cannot question that. But personally I don't think appearance should be the basis of faithfulness of a person. It is the attitude and self control that matters. Whether or not he is good looking or even ugly, everyone is capable of betrayal. Thanks for responding handsomevm!

Love has no reasons and boundaries that makes the person blind. It is a feeling which is most of the time unexplainable... Love is not blind but it can cause blindness to any infected person. hahaha like a virus.

Love for me is not blind as when it hit you it finds you. The blind itself is the lover as many people says, because when they are both in love they do not see the wrong attitudes, or ugliness even the other people look down on them judging them us not compatible with their appearances. Some may even laugh as they see two couples as the exact opposites and even some are puzzled who the hell does the woman/man do to their partner are they under the influences of potion as they really look unfit for each other. I think the personality of the person is what matter most rather than the physical aspects in every relationship that is why we often encounter couples who look exactly opposite even funny looking but love binds them. Then, I think the blind are the people who judge them not the couple because they see the beauty beyond the skin..

It is the attitude that matters most. Physical appearance fades as you go older. Yes people look at the physical appearance first and we are attracted to people with beautiful faces but it is the personality that will break or make love. Personality is really important. Anyone with good looking face but have poor personality, eventually you will look at that person in different way. You will see her beautiful face turn into monster because of what he or she is doing.

I felt love is blind, you can't look out the lovers disadvantages, though he betrays you, maybe you will think he wasn't intention to do that, so you will forgive soon. Love is blind.

I also think that love is blind because there are so many questions that cannot be answered why. We love not because of reasons, we love because we simply feel we love the person no matter who she or he is. In love people don't care about the things going around him whether it is bad or good. And that makes a person called blind.
