I only flipped the coin a bit. What I'm saying in answer to the origninal question, is that because I would want the full romantic relationship experience I would feel that the person I’m contemplating a relationship with deserves that too.

Thank you, you understand...

Both but personality is waaaay more important. Beauty is in the eye of..blah blah blah -> a younger, cuter, immature me wouldn't have had that thought in the early nineties. I didn't look at folks the way I do now. Over the last ten years I am more concerned with mannerisms, like-similarities, and goodheartedness. Beauty is always a plus, but it may be found in more than a perfectly straight nose, rounded cheeks, perky lips, etc, etc.

I guess with age comes wisdom. That, and sagginess, incontinence, impotence, etc, etc. I joke I joke, I kid, I kid :^)

Give me a great personality,hygienic and am good to go!! This is a man who will keep me going when looks are all gone.
Naturally,i never even turn my head to look at Mr.Dropdead handsome......usually they tend to bank on their good looks nothing else!
I tend to get attracted to guys on the other side of the fence....move over Clooney/Pitt,et al

Personality is the real beauty looks is just additional.
