I have long wondered whether there is a case among our midst where the attraction, gravitational pull, magnetism, whatever one might call it, between two beings was not based on beauty. This case I have been attempting to search for needs to have the prerequisite of finding the other person not attractive based on appearance and then after a conversation including a mention of the family fortune, the force of the, ahem, personality starts to draw one's interest.
Now, to not be misunderstood here, it should be made clear that the first impressions one normally has are all based on looks as you see the person first before initiating any other action. No, you cannot find out how rich they are yet.
So my question is, can one feel attracted to someone whose appearance does not come under "their type" ? Please note : Rich is NOT a type.
Mitigating circumstances such as money, a villa in the Bahamas, sport cars and a private jet are obviously understandable and persons affected by such circumstances will not be thought less of. In fact, their nickname starts with the word Gold and ends with _igger. These people for obvious reasons are excluded from this study.
If such a case does exist, here I am coerced by many into believing they as a matter of fact do, then one must consider the appeal of the personality over the appeal of beauty. Yeah right. I am sorry, I do not mean to come across as a cynic. Yeah right.
So now is the opportune time to consider the positives (bank balance, not married, no children) and negatives (weight problems, inability to put two sentences together, receding hairline) of arrangements such as these.
If one's attraction is based on the others sense of humor then the positive is that one would laugh once a day at the very least. But what happens when one runs out of jokes or they are not simply funny anymore. So not funny and not good looking. Very attractive indeed.
Next, personality. As in they are a huge personality to be able to attract someone despite their looks. Huge as in assets or maybe weight. Who knows. Alright no more Mr. Cynic. The one personality who comes to mind first and foremost as really epitomizing this attraction is the cricketer Imran Khan. But wait, yeah, not good looking.
Even looks. They are transitory and what happens after the years and years and years of having a gorgeous bf/husband or stunning gf/wife and the hot hot hot sex. Yes they finally lose their looks eh. So better to be attracted to the personality or the humor or even the hair for all it matters, they all surely last longer than the attraction based on beauty. Yeah Right!
