Spiritual attractiveness, spiritual principles, or physical attractiveness, which would you chose given the following example?
First, please share how physically attractive you consider yourself. As for myself, I typically simply state that I do not think I'm too hard on the eyes. You can judge for yourself, that picture is actually myself taken a couple of years ago.
Here are your choices. There are three women who are all equal in every aspect except physical attractiveness. All of them have the type of qualities you are looking for in a potential lifelong partner. But one of them is dropdead gorgeous, the second one is more or less a plain Jane, and the last one has been scarred and disfigured from being in a terrible accident, perhaps being badly burned by spilled gasoline. Which one of the three are you most likely to pick to take out on a date, which one number two and would you simply reject any one of them? Finally, explain your choices please.
I will start it out by saying what my choices would be, but if you want to find out why, you will have to come back later, probably in three or four days.
I am vacillating at the moment between asking plain Jane and the one who has been scarred and disfigured. But I assure you, if you think that is because I would be afraid to even approach an attractive woman, you would quickly put that thought aside were you to see some of the women I have dated. Drop dead gorgeous very much fits more than one of them. But I also have dated some women who most men would leave standing at the door if it was a blind date.
Your response?
I used the words i did thinking it would automatically go the Religion & Spirituality, but Yahoo wanted to put it in Jokes and Riddles. Go figure.
To keep this as simple as possible, I will first state that the chances of finding three women who are completely equal save for their physical appearance is next to none. And for me the physical appearance is part of the overall picture of an individual. A very pretty woman will definitely turn my head. But given the circumstances that I have stated, if a woman who has been to a lot of suffering is the equal in every way to someone who is either average or very good-looking, then she shows ...
a great deal of strength and resilience. To me, that is what would make her most attractive.
As far as number two, I have vacillated a great deal. And the fact is I'm not really sure which I would pick. What I have decided to do because I've had so much trouble both adding comments as well as picking a Best Answer is since thing appears to be working right now, I'm going to go ahead and close the question without adding any more comments.

Well, it would be a man for me, not a woman.
There is a man who I know who is witty and self confident. He is kind of plain looking, but married an attractive woman.
If he weren't married and I was available for marriage (I am not), I would date him. His confidence makes him attractive.
There was a very nice looking man who I went on a couple of dates with a very long time ago. He turned out to be a leach and arrogant, and had even worse qualities. He also thought he was God's gift to women. He wore heavy aftershave and I was around someone who wore it later on and it reminded me of him. I cringed when I smelled it.
There are some very good looking men and although I find them attractive, I would feel insecure dating them. Perhaps other women would want him too. I don't know that I would let it stop me from dating him though. It all depends.
But if there were three people, who were identical and I trusted that none would cheat on me, and looks wouldn't make them arrogant, I would choose the cuteish guy. I think. I have always been more attracted to boyish good looks, rather than the drop dead gorgeous ones.
I am not attracted to very unattractive people. Even if they had a heart of gold. I would have them as my friend though. Does that make me a bad person? People are attracted to who they attracted to. They really can't help it and it wouldn't be fair to force yourself to get involved with someone who you have no feelings for.
And I also think it is better when someone admits it about themselves too. At least they are being honest.
But here is what I would definitely do. If someone that I loved and married, had a bad accident and was disfigured, I would not leave them. In fact my ex-husband had something happen and I stayed with him. But we later parted ways for other reasons of which I will not get into.
I also make allowances for people getting older and putting on some weight, lines, grey hair. People age and so do I.
As far as what I think of my own level of attractiveness, I think I am alright.

Spirituality is a delusion.
I no longer date, it was just a phase for me. I'm asexual again, as I should have always been. All the ladies can go talk and have a girls' night-out and go pull some other guys.
