...and then again perhaps gentlemen and ladies both do not find rude and vapid to be attractive.

We all have our preferences after all.

First of all, I am about 2 inches taller than him. Secondly, he has slight bad breath.

My question is that have you dated somebody you are not physically attracted to? Do you normally give them second chance? Can you learn to love them in the future?

Let me know your thoughts please.
I met my last wife on Match.com. She was a big lady, not my physical "type". But I liked everything about her. We fell in love and got married. A Match.com success story. No one is perfect, and there are many aspects to a relationship. I think she knew how I felt about her weight, although I never said anything about it. And I'm not perfect either. I was never happy with her weight. Not only on a visual level but she was putting her health at risk. Our relationship eventually failed, but that had nothing to do with her weight. So the answer to your question is yes, you can "learn to love them". It's more like overlooking and embracing the postitive virtues, etc.

I think the issue I have with this gentleman is simply lack of chemistry. He is simply not exciting to me. Plus the bad breath is a deal breaker to a lot of people. I can take it (morning breath or what not) from a man I love anyday, but for somebody I just met, I don't think I can tolerate it. But I understand your point.

Plus, I don't love or like everything else about this guy either. so there. I answered my own question.

A man can learn to love your personality but he has to find you attractive first. And Every single man has a different beauty threshold

Only on this website is that such a "out there" concept. Ladies do this all the time as well but no one says anything to them. Lets keep it real, there have been guys in your life that would've been great "boyfriend material" but they just werent attractive enough so they were placed in the friendzone.

If I'm not attracted to the person, then that's the end of that. There is no "growing to love" the person.

Happens ALL of the time. How do you think that physically unattractive, fat men can have beautiful wives/girlfriends? Its not their attractive looks but their attractive wallets.

ETA: some will call this (women chosing men based on his bank account as) "gold digging" yet will have no problem with men only wanting "hot" women.
I think most men know this, it's the women on here who are in denial.

Lol, yes alcohol the great equalizer! Many guys have probably slept with unattractive chicks after getting blasted at the bar.
