Most likely not. It doesn't even have to be physical looks, there is this lady on one of the cooking shows that we watch, while she's not ugly, something about her, I couldn't be with a woman like her... IDK, it's weird because sometimes it's hard to quantify things like that.

We're perfectly suited personality wise, yet i find her physicaly unattractive. I've been in relationships with people like this before, and hated every minute of it- particuarly the sex. Do others here feel the same?
They just can't be repulsive, physically or personality wise. Unfortunately I find a lot of people repulsive (including myself) because of dumb little things... I'm not much for open mindedness.

i married someone that i had just a modicum of attraction to. i was young. i thought that was normal. we had more of a warm-n-fuzzy thing. i thought that was a very adult and stable type of relationship. i didn't realize that you could have red hot attraction and true love. now i know you can. i will never, ever date someone i am not attracted to physically. i like men with character anyway- don't like the clean scrubbed types. he has to have something. and that usually doesn't mean he looks like a model. got to have character. i have had crushes on a wide variety of men and none of them are similar to the other. tho i do get weak in the knees for a dark-haired jesus/guerilla fighter looking type. or sideburns. or curly hair. or guys wearing glasses (seriously, HOT) or afros. or good arms with no tattoos or uh....what was the question?

Absolutely not. She can be fantastic, great and awesome, but because I find her to be unattractive, that puts her in the "FRIEND" category. No hope for ever being more than that.

I could never engage in a sexual relationship with a woman whom I did not find sexy and attractive. Physical beauty has always been a priority for me. I mean, sure, back in my drinking, partying, clubbing days I had a few one-night stands with women who were less than beautiful, but even then I never took home anyone less than a 6 on the 1-10 scale. But as far as a log-term, serious relationship, they gotta be hot. Call me superfluous if you must, but hey, we all like what we like, right?

Sexual attraction is not really about the body, imo. Sexual attraction is an energy that flows and doesn't need to be seeked. It is either there or it isn't. Someone might be gorgeous and you just don't feel "it". And sometimes someone is not too good looking, but their sexuality is almost touchable. You just know this person will rock you. If you don't feel sexual attraction, you should never try to be with someone sexually. It just isn't meant to be.

I'm attracted to the person, not the body. I'm not meaning this mean about my wife, but she's 5'2" and 185 lbs. But I call her my Mrs. America. I'm no Fabio myself! 5'7" and 280. But we love each other, we love holding each other, sex is great and I enjoy seeing her in her birthday suit every chance I get. So if you can't have a relationship with an unattractive lady, then I'd say that's a point in her favor.
