Yes, I don't even notice what a person looks like until I get to know them - aside from my own personal deal breakers - sorry in advance for adding these shallow things : morbidly obese ( a little overweight is okay) odd tattoos or piercings (too distracting) unkempt, poor personal hygiene, smoking, drugs, things like tat)
Personality, humor, character, intelligence rule! Once I've fallen, I think they're the most attractive person in the world. |

| My husband admits I'm the better looking one in the couple., and he likes it that way. He's very cute to me but not very conventionally attractive. It was hard when we first started dating but he won me over, and now I never get jealous because women don;t hit on him, and don't feel worried he'll cheat. |

Right? Not a lot of brain power being used on this thread currently. Average does not equal unattractive, people. |

And for the record, DH and I are both exceptionally average looking but both have good personalities and traits. The more I fell in love with him, the more I was attracted to him, and it just keeps getting better as we spend more years together. |

| The majority of people in the world, and especially in this area, are average looking. So I would say the answer is he's, that is now most people coupled up. |

| Yup. But never with someone overweight, so go figure that. I haven't tested how overweight would impact my attraction to my spouse because it's never come to pass. I, however, have grown overweight since our marriage both objectively (BMI) and subjectively (I just "look it"). I'm working on that... Slowly but surely. |

+1 just as much on the outside as on the inside, I'm sure 
Can't help thinking of the Judge Judy quote: "Beauty fades, but dumb is forever." |

I rarely see two hot people together. There's usually someone average or below average with them. Being gorgeous doesn't appear to be a requirement for gorgeous people. |

It all depends.
In any successful relationship OP, there has to some mutual physical/sexual attraction from both sides. Some people will say that that attraction is not necessary, it is only icing on the cake, but I have to disagree. If that were the case, how could you separate a lover from a friend? You wouldn't be able to. That being said, this person could grow on you as you continue dating. As you get to know more about him, he may begin to take on attractive traits that you find endearing. But if over time you still are not fully attracted to him, then it is best to cut the cord before feelings run too deep. It may hurt, but in the long run it is the best way to spare any hurt feelings. If this person is someone you are embarrassed, even slightly so to be seen in public with, then that is a huge red flag that things likely won't improve. Good luck. |
