Have you ever found yourself falling in love with someone you didn't find physically attractive at first? Can a person's personality change the way you see them physically?

I really honestly do not care what a man looks like on the outside. When I fall in love with someone it is for who they are, not what they look like, and when I am in love with someone they look perfect to me, no matter what they look like to others. It may sound trite and unrealistic, but it's happened enough times that I know it's true. Many of the men I have loved were not "good looking" at all to me until i got to know them.

well i think the most important thing is always a physical attractivenes... a person cannot ... cannot cannot make love if he never shows his personality what he is , or what is his speciality , well the important thing is that , he should be special , special enough to show his abilities physcially as well as practically , well making love ... or the one to whom you want to express, .. just try making her by your mind and your cleverness and sharpness what you have , so i think that won't be .. the thing too loose , and yes ... always try to see youself first then see the one you wanna make love . other thenn that ...the conculstion is , " yes ..

Yes, physical attractiveness is very important in a relationship. I don't know for others but I looks for good looks more than any other personality traits. Well, good looks are not enough but certainly it is one of the top priorities.

Physical attraction is not everything but it's still important. I've found myself falling for a person's personality but after I'm physically attracted to him.

Yeah , I do have fallen for a girl that not too attractive. The reason why I like her is she have a good personality. She like to help people and not too mention friendly. I din't confess because I know that I am not good enough for her. she deserve better than me. It is not like I want to look down on me but with her personality it is easy for her to find a better match than me. Oh I forget to mention that I have a problem when approaching girl. I don't have much contact with girl during my upbringing. I personally think if you like someone because of her physical attractiveness then that relationship will not last long. If you like her personality and her person than the chances for that relationship will last longer.

Yes physical attractiveness does count... Initially when one is attracted it is the looks that draw one and lter it is the quality or other reasons that get you attracted. So I have never got attracted to anyone who was not physically attractive.

yes, I guess phisycal appearance just attracts us for the 1st sight, later the opposite's behavior which will make the final decision

Well that is one good question and yes that is true, believe it or not if you are not just physically attracted to a person but yet you seem to feel drawn near him/her, chances are the relationship will work out because it won't be like the regular high school "Sleep and Dump" kinda thing ... and besides I always get attracted to people pure of heart, looks don't matter much to me.

Not the most important yet very important. The first impression is physical characteristics and the same carries a lot of weight age. Most of us get attracted to teh other by the physical features even when we have not spoken a word.

yes for me physical attraction is one thing that can make our heads turn.and somehow its important for me coz there you can see how the person takes care of himself/herself.a person's personality will never change despite of how good he/she looks.attitude does not reflect on how handsome or beautiful a person is outside.
