When I was younger, I used to have romantic relationships with the guys I was physically attracted to. Now that maturity is coming unto me, I have become more prone to loving someone I have never been attracted to at first glance. Maybe that's because I am now more into the how a man is as an individual rather than what he is as a man.

the outside appearance makes me look, but the mind, the heart, the soul.... makes me stay.

Definitely an inside out lover. My ex and I met on my online "campsite". It was a chatroom, when they were more like the Mingle2 community boards and not such a cyber meat market.

We started out as friends (neither of us were looking for romance) and got to know each other over the course of a year. We fell in love, but there was one "catch" - neither of us had a photo on the 'Net, so we didn't know what the other looked like, except for a verbal description.

To make a long story short, we met IRL and got married a week later. We were together for 10 years and had three great kids. Even though we're no longer together as a couple, we are still close friends.

BTW, we are from different countries and cultures and that wasn't an obstacle either.
