[quote=Anonymous]I used to think I don't care about looks. But my views are being challenged significantly these days. I'm seeing someone,  and we're getting pretty serious. I almost didn't go out with him because he is not really my physical type, nor is he really attractive, per se. But after our first date, you can definitely feel the chemistry and I enjoyed his character. So I kept going.

One of my younger friends comments non-stop on how he's not "doable" and "not attractive" and that no wonder he's trying to "lock me down" because "no one else would sleep with him," etc. Now, he is about 6 years older, and he is not necessarily the handsomest. But he's OK. He dresses alright, calls himself fit (he does exercise) but the man is pudgy :) But I like him, a lot. I am attracted to him, despite this. Until I hear her in my head and then I start wondering why I am finding him attractive and start getting her in my head. I know I look good, I know I'm not the hottest or greatest there is. I don't expect super hot guy for a BF. But this is making me wonder, is she right? Am I settling? I expect a partner/bf that is attractive to me. Not to the world. Then why is it that I hear her in my head non-stop and start seeing his flaws vs. the fact that I actually like him with his flaws? [/quote]
