ORIGINAL: MARAA Hello, i would like to ask you about weight and looks. How important is looks and weight for you? What are you looking after,if any particular? "The stereotype" girl with long hair, small or not so big body and angelface how important is that? How many of you would accept larger women? or opposite? How much do you also look for the inside? Thank you My partner has a saying "I try to see people for who they are- that is their beauty". I agree with her. Attractiveness has little to do with physical appearance, and everything to do with physical appearance. Which is to say that some people are *hot* and some people are not (but another person's eyes will produce another conclusion). For us, it's not about size, but being clean, well groomed, and generally caring for yourself and smelling nice will go a long way. Combine that with a compatible personality- and the sparks fly. We think that in general, people have two choices regarding stigmatized issues (such as weight). A person must either accept and embrace who/what they are, or seek to change themselves into what they want to be. This is personal work- and most likely not something to be worked out in a relationship (although we've seen it done). Our experience: People we've met over the years seem to care more about this issue than we do, because they are struggling with accepting themselves or making the decision to change. Exactly. Nothing wrong with appreciating beauty/good looks, but these do not sustain a relationship. Definitely have to second the part about hygiene! Wouldn't do to have folks' eyes watering before they even lay eyes on 'em
