Strange question, I know. But I got a match with a guy who, in my mind is unattractive. His style is hippie and mine is way more conservative. I have not met him yet, so I can't say if his personality would turn me off. On the positive note, he has a wonderful personality! But again, only time will tell.
Because he has an amazing career and amazing income, my girlfriend told me that those types of guys are the ones that treat you better, work harder on the relationship. She said because he has great personality, I should meet him once in person to see what he is like and if worst comes to worst, and he is a really nice person and I end up marrying him, all I can do is put a bag over his head!

My friend can be so funny, but maybe she has a point?

What do you think and how many of you dated someone that you normally would not look twice at and ended up in a really good relationship?

All of the guys I've actually dated have been physically attractive in my eyes, but I can't say that I wouldnt date a guy that I wouldn't be attracted to at first glance, b/c there have been many guys that were friends of mine that I became attracted too just b/c of their personality. I don't know if a long relationship would come out of it or not though, because physical attraction is important to me.

Have you ever met someone who you wouldn't normally be attracted to but once you get to know them, they are gorgeous? I have.

I guess that is kind of a misnomer, actually because I really can't tell you if a person is nice looking or not unless I get to know them. There's only one guy who I, literally, ever turned to get a second look at and it wasn't because of the way he looked-- he had five children and it was the way he was amazingly interacting with them. And no, it wasn't a man I married...ha.

Warmly,

Well my husband is not an ugly duckling by any means but he was totaly not my type when we met. Actually we were total opposites!! He has long hair and I was totaly not into that, he is a biker and I tended to be more conservative. There was always a a spark there between us though (we were friends first).

I do believe though that there needs to be some sort of "chemistry" in order for you to persue something with this guy. So what the heck....go on a date and if there is no spark, well then you dont go out again but if you dont go out with him, you might never know what you're missing

I went from not that great looking in a relationship but he had his good qualities (Ended up a bad person to be with)to a Very good looking man ( I am with now) and I tell ya that's quite the change

I possibly dated guys my friends thought were ugly (never crossed my mind to ask their opinon) - my friend right now is seeing a really butt-hurt looking guy, but does it matter now? No. As you get older .... I think it's just realizing that who someone looks isn't everything. I mean, I started liking people who I never found attractive at all - later on finding them to be the most good looking person ever. Haha. My ex is scrawny little dude but as we progressed... I really thought he was so handsome and stuff and the negatives rarely crossed my mind.

I think I agree, I have gone out with people who have become more attractive as we went out because I liked their personality. That being said, I'm not sure I could go out with someone I found repellent from the outset - 'different' from my usual type, maybe, really hideously ugly, no, I don't think I could. I have a feeling there is a thread on this already, I'll see if it can be found

[brewgrl]

if you never find this person sexually attractive, it will never work out...
so you have to see if there is at least a sense of sexual chemistry... if not, you can always have a coffee buddy.

I dated a guy that was not one of the hottest dudes I dated and it lasted a while, we just kind of drifted apart.

I also dated a guy that a bunch of other girls were all hot for and let me tell you. He knew it, he was a total jerk.

So the way I see it, looks are not everything. But physical attraction is a big part of a relationship. So you have to have some kind of spark.

Thank goodness my hubby is hot and a great person. (must be why I have been married to the guy for over 15 years now, lol.

back then my high school boyfriend was cute now that I think about it hes horrible.

[luxotika]

My sister dated a really super homely guy. His nose was the size of my hand (think Adrian Brody) and he dressed really poorly. She was only attracted to him because she was lonely. Everytime they were together, the song "Beauty and the Beast" played over and over in my head. They ended up breaking up because he is an alcoholic.

[jdepp_84]

I say meet him...what if its a bad picture? Or what if he turns out to be the best guy you have ever meet? Maybe he just needs a little makeover. I always see on tv these butt ugly guys look gorgeous after makeoevers.

[iatreia]

well, I'm not biased about looks, but think about genetics... :P
