i’d like to think that people would still consider dating someone eveb though they are not physically attracted to that person.... but, i reckon once people decided to stay in that relationship... then they are at that point where they are already physically attracted to that person... because that is what love does... one day you will just wake up and realized that you are physically attracted to the person that you are in love with... or maybe i am just a hopeless romantic

It seems it takes a certain "type" of person to title
a post such.

If a person has a problem with another's looks, he or
she should look into the eyes of the other.....

Some know this already.........

Not really. You'd have to know Kim to comprehend why she started this thread.

Or... you'd have to read the first post in this thread. It explains it pretty well. I mean READ it, not just skim through.

Oh wait... sorry, I got confused (which happens often.) This is so much like a thread Kim would start to generate conversation and make us think, that I thought I was in a Kim thread.

Ignore me. I'm going to go back to Fallout 2 and try to not confuse anybody else any more.
What's fallout 2?

I’ve only ever dated one guy that I loved, he was a 6” native, tanned skin, brown eyes, a good lookin’ dude. We started off messaging first and got to know eachother for a good few months as friends. As things progressed, including exchanging of pictures he told me, that no matter what you look like, it’s your heart that I’ve fallen for. When we met, there was even more attractiveness because we looked passed “the physical” and had already formed a foundation of emotional and spiritual love.

I guess, what one sees attractive is different to how another sees attractive. I’m not really bothered by looks but I believe in the scripture below that beauty for both men and women should come from inside you, the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is pleasing to the Lord. It is then, that only can God reveal to your eyes and spirit the person that is compatible for you.

When I see a beautiful woman I am often reminded of the proverb, "A beautiful woman without discretion is like a gold ring in a pigs snout."

A woman's external beauty is truly just a decoration on who she really is. If she's not a godly woman, it doesn't matter how well she applies make-up (which is usually the major difference between a beautiful woman and a plain woman) or how well she spends money on clothes.

A godly woman with a great sense of humor will be far more satisfying than an ungodly woman who can use make-up well and dresses fancy.

Agreed, that also applies to God Fearing men as well - without the make up and fancy dresses of course lol.

But I also think it’s not bad for a godly woman to dress up and wear make up now and then, that’s a personal choice imo.

Decades ago I dated one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen. I fell in love with her beauty and she was, evidently, a Christian. Nevertheless, as the relationship progressed (we were considering marrying at one time) she turned out to be very emotionally abusive to me. (This is not to say that I didn't also have a lot of problems.) It took me a long time to get over her. I believe I would have been better off if I had never dated her in the first place. It is usually better to be lonely than miserable.

As beautiful as she was and as apparently Christian as we were, I am very grateful to God that we didn't marry (or give ourselves a chance to have children together). We would both have been miserable. I didn't marry until I was 43 and I affirm to you waiting for the right husband or wife is definitely worth the wait.

Look for a spouse that lets you be who you are, that when you are with them, you are a better version of yourself, and it is a great blessing if you can both laugh a lot. (There is probably room for all of us to grow in that last area.)
