With all this talk of settling and leagues and what not im just curious

I know i cant be with somebody i have not even a slight attracion to physically..

If my "league" is women i have no atraction to then ill be single the rest of my life because i cant do it...

So would you settle with somebody you have no phyiscal attraction to just becsaue its all you can get or would you wait evne if it meant a good chance of never getting a person you are attracted to?

This is actually a question that I've considered a number of times now that I'm getting older. To be perfectly honest there are physical limits that I would have to take into consideration and I have no doubt that women feel the same way. If I felt no physical attraction at all I think I'd just as soon stay single for the rest of my life and at my age I think it's quite likely that this is what's going to happen. I have no doubt that women have the same feelings that I do and as a result I would be rejected for the very same reasons. Sadly, the best time to make those kinds of connections are when you're young and still have a youthful and attractive appearance. I'm afraid that at this point in my life that I have a better chance of winning the Lotto than meeting someone in my age bracket who would be interested in having me as a partner.

Well, if the person was not repulsive why not? If they were nice in other ways but I just didn't want to be with them sexually, I could live with them as 'friends' and be happy.

Why be alone (if you don't want to) if you could be with a decent person who was funny, nice, smart--just not 'sexy.'

Porn has been the only sexual reality I've ever known, and although I am alone, I don't feel lonely enough to settle for someone I am less attracted to than the models. It may be a shallow and 2-demensional experience, but at least it is free of the bossiness and baggage that come with a flesh-and-blood woman. Pass the Kleenex, please, not the Whitman's.

No, I'd rather be happily single than with someone who I have no attraction to. There's a difference between being alone and being lonely.

If I wanted to settle for someone I wasn't attracted to I would have stayed with my last boyfriend - 70+ pounds overweight, lousy sex, but he would have married me (so he said after I broke up w him). No thanks. I'd rather be alone.

There is no reason to be with someone romantically that you aren't physically attracted to since that would be the same as being alone anyway. I'm more than happy to be friends with people regardless of how they look however.
