What do you mean I'm "doing it wrong". What itintionaly attracts me to a women is her looks, if I'm not attracted to her then there won't be a relationship.

Yes, if I really liked him BUT I would try to encourage him to lose weight. And if he still didn't, well, he has to go.

Because she said looks don't matter and in the same breath said that she wouldn't date a fat person and has to be attracted to the person she is with(which I agree with)

Ok, I was confused by the "themselves" part.

It's not a contradiction at all, people are attracted to who they like. I happen to despise the big burly bear types but other people like them.

Then looks do matter to you! It is a contradiction! You're judging a person by how they look, therefore looks matter you. Everybody does it.

To a certain extent this is true. A major component of initial attraction is physical.

However, if you go for all the "soulmates" stuff, who says that your perfect match is a perfect 10 looks wise ?

Sometimes we are attracted to people who don't fit our "standards", and if you choose to overlook this, then you are possibly
missing out on a lot.

Looks matter to everyone but sometimes people overlook these if the person has other factors. I have dated men that didn't appeal to me and sometimes the feelings grew because they were nice.

I find big guys attractive. If I wasn't married I would date them.

Exactly this. My current boyfriend is 5'7, caramel colored skin, super short hair. And my "ideal" guy looks wise is quite the opposite. But I am still madly attracted to my boyfriend.
