attraction is important and a must, yes... however

it 's just one of few important things, not the only one... and definitely not the most important one for me either... it's definitely in the top 10 most important things, though

Very. Love cannot occur without lust.

ohsheeT · Answer

Well no matter what the first thing you're going to do Is look at the inside To find out who they are how beautiful their heart is Before you do anything else really And then when you look to the outside and you put them both together You see things that other people might not see And vice versa But that's nobody's business I can find beauty In anything and everything

jennifer_bloom · Answer

All the guys I am friends with say they want some attraction but do not need extreme attraction. Once their basic attraction standards are met, they focus entirely on personality and compatibility. I know a number of people who expect extreme attraction, and they fall into two categories: they are either abusive or disloyal.

Rei13 · Answer

It is semi-important. It can’t be absent but they don’t have to be the most attractive person I ever met. There are so many other important aspects that it can be compensated for

OneViewpoint · Answer

Physical attraction is always what gets two people together in the first place. At the outset that's pretty much all we have to base our decision to approach someone on. So physical attraction matters. And it's pretty high on the list of things that matter. But it's far from the only consideration and probably not THE single most important thing.

For me, I'm looking for fitness. Weight under control. Not rail thin. Not obese. Some attention to health and a sense of style. Body positive nutcases can go howl into the wind. I'm not attracted to obese women.

ChasingSophie · Answer

Honestly, attraction matters a lot to me. Probably more than it should, or at least more than it should be trusted to. I've never been able to talk myself into liking someone I wasn't attracted to, no matter how great they looked on paper. But I've also learned the uncomfortable lesson that feeling really, really attracted to someone is not actually a green flag. For me it's sometimes the opposite.

There's a specific kind of "can't stop thinking about them" feeling I used to mistake for compatibility. It was not compatibility. It was anxiety-wearing a crush costume. So now I try to notice whether I'm attracted to someone or just... activated by them. Still working out the difference in real time, but I'm getting there.

Every one is different on what they find attractive I find it funny how many short small guys I have run into that think small women are not attractive and they prefer really large women I believe there has to be a acceptable minimum met and then the rest goes for what the person is like with common grounds could be anything from common interests on things to do things to eat favorite position how often you use this position or how often you explore other positions and things to do to create excitement being able to make your partner smile is crucial if you can’t do that things will not work out in the long run I believe

Lliam · Answer

Very important. She doesn't have to be a beauty queen, but I have to like her face. And she has to have a certain kind of figure.

I wouldn't bother dating someone unless I found her attractive. But, once I started getting to know her, other things like personality and values would be mandatory for continuing the relationship.

katiesmuff · Answer

I think in most cases it's physical attraction that leads to the beginning of a date and from that point it's other things that determine where things are going.

I also think there are cases where physical attraction was not the beginning but the ways he may have treated you or helped you for one thing or another such as partners in a school project or school play etc and the attachment began from the heart and not the eyes, but soon even the physical attraction is there.

RavVid · Answer

I am quite sure the instinctive unconscious sex brain calls the shots as to who we want and the conscious logical brain's role is merely to find acceptable reasons for the unconscious brain's decision.

Unycorn · Answer

Very important. Attractive is who I love. My boyfriends were fat and ugly. But when I was together they were attractive to me. And it will go within the age.

molonski2 · Answer

A massive part of it is weight , the body has to be correct , don't like sloppy and this is a constant , physical attraction is lost if the individual cannot control their weight , changes everything.

EveryDayIsPretzelDay · Answer

If by relationship you mean a romantic or sexual relationship, I think physical attraction is essential. Maybe that changes after you've been married for twenty years, but at the beginning stages, you need physical attraction.

queenofcardio · Answer

Physical attraction brings him to my door, his personality determines whether I open it or not, so yes, it’s important.

menina · Answer

It's one of the most important things for me. I know this sounds bad, but I don't think I would date someone I'm not attracted to.

Nikki1989 · Answer

It might make up 10% of the attraction, if that.

Anonymous · Answer

It's important. I wouldn't pursue a girl unless I found her attractive. Her looks start the interest, but it's everything else that maintains and builds it.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

High. I think anyone that says it doesn't matter is lying as its nearly impossible to be with someone we don't find physically attractive unless they are with that person for some sort of benifits.

Very important, but a shitty personality can shatter my perspective of an attractive person in a nano second.

LiamJHayden · Answer

If she is average or even a bit below and is fun and brings me peace rather than drama I am happy.

Anonymous · Answer

I’ll probably get a lot of slack of this but women stew very demanding and they do want the attractive guy. While we guys are more laid back and just want a girl with a good personality. I’ve dated demanding women
