My mom says it is, but im not sure.?

Question

Is it possible to fall in love with an unattractive person? My mom's always talking about "it's all about what's on the inside" but my question is how can someone go into a relationship without the initial attraction? To me, the inside is pretty much all that counts, but you always have to have a little fantasy right?

Answer 1

Love is blind, it is possible to fall in love with an unattractive person. But u cannot force someone to fall in love, it is just not possible. Love just happens, maybe not for the convenience of your mom.

Answer 2

Yes, it is possible to fall in love with an unattractive person. Most pretty guys don't have anything good except their looks anyways.

Answer 3

i think it is easyer to see the love of a attractive person...but like some one allredy said wen u get to no a unattractive person they get more attractive.....but yeah it is otherwise im screwed...LOL..

but if u get to no some one who is phitt and there proper horrible and that tends to put u off.....u gettin me....:)

Answer 4

When you get to know someone who may be considered unattractive, you start to see them as attractive. You also really don't care about looks if you are truly in love. I think too much emphasis is put on lust and attraction rather than focussing on finding a person who is a suitable partner.  

Answer 5

when you speak to someone they pick up little things. like, appreciation for little things, love for odd things.... and eventuaally you see the real person instead of a fat/annorexic, person!

everyone is beautiful in their own way!  

Answer 6

ya it is possible.  

Answer 7

People fall in love with people for various reasons, some are only attracted to the physical, some only the emotional and some find the combination the most attractive.

Also one persons attractive person may be unattractive to another person.

I think that its entirely possible to fall in love with a person you have no original physical attraction for, but which can grow within the relationship whether its just because you don't have one or you find them unattractive. And you can still have fantasies, you just have to have different ones.

It all falls down to how much you place on the physical in a relationship, i.e. s*x, or what people think of you. If you place a high value on s*x and feel like it wouldn't work with someone you deem unattractive then its possible to love them but not have a relationship with them. If you think people will think less of you if they see you on the arm of an unattractive man (or vice versa) and that idea bothers you then again love is possible a relationship isn't.

Unless you can get over either of those issues, then a relationship isn't possible and its going to make a long-term partnership a lot harder.
