Point is, what you find flawless is not what everyone else finds flawless. And there really are people who don't get totally hung up on physical appearances too. I don't like vanity...
I pride myself on having this character trait. I'm not impressed or overwhelmed by your curves, your eyes, your legs. I place value on my girl being healthy, happy, self-confident and funny. If they are all those things, chances are they're a 10 to me!
I agree but I think the original post was about on sight beauty not after getting to know someone. Though I respect your worth of what is beautiful, I am sure you didn't know the value of your girl's personality until you knew her over time. I could be wrong.

You're correct. You don't know those things until you get to know someone. Maybe my response was not well worded to address the OP.
I'm not trying to discount being attracted to someone at first sight. I just think it's fleeting to base too much off it. Have I been attracted to people based on their looks? Yes. Have I then found out in short order there was nothing there? Heck yes.
The thread just caught my attention so I decided to chime in. I normally don't look at this sub-forum, but the thread title lured me in. LOL

I am positive there are different ways of experiencing this. I have known women who bask in their beauty and the attention it brings them. I don't even mean that in a condemnatory way, just that they make the most of a gift. I have known aesthetically exceptional women who were angered (or at least irritated) that their own beauty eclipsed the rest of their traits and characteristics. I have known an unearthly beauty who honestly didn't believe that she was.

There is no universal answer to this question.

I've tried to explain to people what it is like but they just don't understand.

Untrue! What society? There are many societies. Each society has their own interpretation of beauty. If you are talking about Western society's standards on PHYSICAL beauty, most will say thin - (well what is considered thin), tall - (but not too tall), big boobs, big butt (but toned)? Who knows what else??? But did you know in parts of Africa being "thin" is not desired and being heavy is! Maybe in the African American community a butt that is considered FAT according to Anglo-Saxons is completely fine and desirable. There are too many standards on what beauty is..so just having a confidence and not being a ***** about it, brings out the beauty..

I don't think there's an answer to this -- everyone's experience with it will be different. Some will be lonely, because men won't approach them and women will hate them, some will be happy, because of their natures, some will be drug addicts because they will be abused....

Come one folks.

Beauty is skin deep.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Besides Beauty only last for so long.

Ashes to ashes dust to dust.

I had a friend like that. She had glistening blond hair with beautiful blue eyes, pretty features (a cross between Kim Basinger and Pam Anderson), and a great smile. Not a perfect figure by any means ~ small busted but very buff, in shape. And a friendly and likable person. She turned heads wherever she went and could have had her pick of anybody.

Inside, quite troubled. Lousy tastes in men. Litigious (I swear, she sued people as her way of getting in the last 'word'). Self-absorbed. But I also saw her compassionate and kinder side, too.

Sometimes I envied her, but I'm glad that I'm NOT her, quite frankly.
