Can you date a girl, who have a great personality, but you are only 70% attracted to?
What if another prettier girl came along later on in the relationship, with the same personality?
Would you leave her for the other girl?

You're thinking of these girls like they are trading cards and you can freely exchange one for the other.

I'm not sure what "70% attracted to" means. What is the 30% you don't like about her? Is it her looks? What? Because in the end, we don't keep our looks; we get older. When you're looking to date or have a relationship, hopefully it's deeper than what looks like.

Meaning you might like her eyes and her smile, but not her nose etc. And no, this isn't to justify anything. I am just asking out of curiosity.

My experience is that once I fall in love with someone they BECOME beautiful in my eyes. So I don't worry about what they look like beforehand.

Attraction, OTOH, has pretty much nothing to do with looks, for me. And I would not do without it.

If the 30% part that I don't like includes unexplainable rage and uncontrollable urge for methamphetamine ... maybe.

Haha, no. It's just something physical. But overall, her personality is good and the chemistry is there.

Well, perhaps she can go on a diet to lose that 30% you don't like.

Well, let's say its not the fat. Something's just a little off. =)
