If you see someone posting on here that has a great sense personality and you really enjoy what they have to say... BUT they aren't "physically attractive" to you, would you tend to maybe not email/communicate with them just because there is no physical attraction?

Ok, I guess I need to qualify the thought I had in starting this post...

Not in a "date or I wanna bump nasties" type setting, just general communication.

unfortunately for myself it is hard to talk to someone or whatever because I need to be somewhat attracted to them physically. It may seem harsh or mean of me but I just cant help it. How could you even think of being with someone if your not attracted??

Well... it may have something to do with what you are emailing. :laughing:

Well, I talk to whoever is interesting. I have lots of friends of both genders and just because I'm not out to date them doesn't mean they are not interesting enough to build a communicative rapport. If they think there's something more to come of it, I am emphatic that it would be a friendship, nothing more. Too many interesting and wonderful people on here to discount what they have.

Just talking online? Why should looks matter? Unless you might want to pursue some kind of hook up in the flesh eventually.

I have many online friends that I communicate with but I'm not attracted to physically.

The only problem with this is sometimes the other person sees it as a romantic attempt. I have sent friendly emails many times that don't get responded to, and the only thing I can consider is that they assumed the motives were for something more, when in fact they were not.

Well... this all stemmed from a conversation I had last night with some friends while shooting pool.

The jist of it is that people tend to not communicate with someone because they are "less than ideal" in a physical way. My thought is that I just want to talk to you, not get you into bed or marry you. When did good conversation and cutting up have to lead to a commitment?

I like to communicate with people that have something intelligent and perceptive to say. If they happen to be females then the charm of their personality leads me to other thoughts.

It doesn't help that it's been a long time....

I would talk to them on the forums, but not e-mail.

It's been a long time since you've had thoughts? tongue2


I agree 100%. I enjoy the minds of the people here (well, most of them).

Of the few, I have e-mailed all of them...do note "few".

If a personality strikes me, I want to get to know someone even if the chance of a relationship is far and out of the picture. I'm attracted to personality, looks fade but are a plus.

I have no problem chatting with anyone, but if i'm not attracted to them and i just let them know i want to be friends and they push things. I have no problem ignoring them. Everyone needs at least one friend in there life. So if thats is your intention meeting somone one, leave it at that and if latter something comes off it. Then enjoy. If it's not your intention when meeting somone. Your just asking for a downfall.
