The person does not have to be physically stunning, but there has to be a few things that make the man want her. To go with a woman based solely on personality &amp; maybe a cute face, is not enough. Not to be crude, but if a man is not sprouting a boner about the woman, they could have a marvelous friendship, but he will always wish he had someone else in the bedroom. Then of course beyond that, personality has to match up as well. Quite simply put, the man HAS to perform, so there is no kidding anyone. A woman CAN be with someone that is not even sexually attractive &amp; still have sex, maybe not such good sex, but all the other stuff the man has to offer, money, nice personality &amp; humor, supportive etc. but in a mans case without a hot sex partner hes going to lose interest. Its just male biology. No drive for sex...a woman had best leave them, because cheating on her will ALWAYS be a strong possibility &amp; if intimacy &amp; commitment are of utmost importance, as it should be, then seriously girls, you are asking for trouble.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Women&#8217;s feelings are one thing, but in a man, my opinion is that there HAS to be sexual attraction from the start.

The short of it is I did and I&#039;ve been married to him for 9 yrs now.  Before I met my husband I only dated men whom I was attracted to physically.  I remember dating two (conventionally drop dead handsome) men and they both turned out to be jerks and players.  My (now) husband was actually not my &quot;type in terms of physical appearance alone and if I had seen him in a room without actually meeting him I wouldn&#039;t have even given him a second look.  I mean he&#039;s not ugly by any stretch of the word but he was definitely not my type.  BUT as it turned out, he had a great personality. The attraction came after I got to know him and now 9 yrs after, our marriage is still great.  I&#039;m not telling you what to do or anything but how will you know that he could be the best thing that ever happens to you if you don&#039;t at least give him a chance?]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I will answer your question based on my own experience.

To cut a long story short- This guy I met through a mutual friend was not conventionally goodlooking (think Colin Firth, not Brad Pitt), I  WAS somewhat physically attracted to him, but mostly, there was just &quot;something there&quot;. We hooked up, it wasn&#039;t good. There was like zero chemistry. But he had a nice personality, and I was comfortable in his company. 3 months down the road, the sex (okay not the sex, we weren&#039;t there yet, but the hookups) got hot, and he&#039;s honestly *become* really good in bed, there&#039;s a LOT of chemistry and he&#039;s a really good boyfriend. I can&#039;t keep my hands off him. He&#039;s kind, respectful, extremely supportive, we have the same values and he&#039;s well educated with a high earning potential (I like rich men and I cannot lie). We&#039;ve been dating for over 2 years now and it&#039;s been great. Imagine if I&#039;d dismissed him that first night because there was no chemistry. As Helen Gurley Brown (Cosmo editor) once said: &quot;The truth is, sex is not the same after the first year. Oh it&#039;s pleasant, all right, but it is not the cliff-hanging variety. However, that&#039;s not a bad price to pay for a good man.&quot; I strongly advise you to focus on his character, as the rest can be overcome in time :)]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can, I have and it was the best decision EVER.

But now I see how many guys only want to date girls because of sex, there&#039;s only a few guys who actually stay true to you. My boyfriend now isn&#039;t the hottest person but he&#039;s cute. He has an amazing personality and respects me. So I think you should give this guy a chance because these guys are rare(; But take a chance! You&#039;ll never know till you try!

I like this guy but he&#039;s not cute... and kind of chubby, not very attractive. He was also pretty mean to me the year before. Anyway, I forbid myself to like him because of his previous actions that hurt my self-esteem and well the attractiveness. I think that you, on the other hand, should definetly go out with this guy. Get to really know him and if the shallow part of your brain, no offense every girl has it, doesn&#039;t truly like him it means that you should just let it go because it wouldn&#039;t be any good to be in a relationship that keeps you asking yourself, should I break up with him or embrace his looks! I hope this helped, good luck!]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m in a very similar situation as you.

He sounds like a total sweetie and like he would treat you like a princess. Which is what every girl wants. I actually have been going through the same thing, for YEARS. This one guy at my pool has had a thing for me for like 3 years now, it really seems like it. The first year we met we would spend every single day just chatting for hours about personal stuff. We talked so much, we barely swam. Yep, I got sunburned BAD lol. The second year of the pool, I started to ignore him thinking &quot;he&#039;s not that cute, so I&#039;m not attracted to him. I shouldn&#039;t be leading him on so I won&#039;t talk to him any more&quot;. and now this year at the pool he hasn&#039;t been coming lately. I am now thinking &quot;Oh no, does he think I hate him?! Why won&#039;t he come?&quot; And now all I want is for him to come. I just realized how sweet and amazing he was, no matter if I&#039;m not sure if I like him like that yet... I am now wishing he&#039;ll come so I can have my best friend back. Lesson learned here: *Never* push away somebody who made you feel like a princess, an angel, like you were in heaven (and MEANT the things they said to you). He may not be that cute, but he&#039;s the sweetest, most deep guy I know and I wish I would&#039;ve given him the chance when he was open for it. So yeah, give this guy a chance :)]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Honestly, I think you should give him a chance.
