Otherwise the guy is no diffrent then a close freind You should be close friends first and if you fall in love you will be attracted physically when that happens you have the perfect relationship that outlives old age impotence and disease. Quote The third big takeaway from their research was that those who considered their spouse a “best friend” boasted the highest levels of happiness — in fact, the well-being benefits were twice as large for those couples. This makes sense, given that previous research has shown that close relationships are crucial for long-term well-being. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/09/married-people-happier_n_6436420.html Edited March 28, 2017 by Dyna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering your partner your "best freind" does not mean that you were close freinds first. And this is irrelevant since if you were freinds first or not isn't relevant to if you found the person attractive or not. You could think your freind was cute Edited March 28, 2017 by spartan max2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly did not get the point, in the end he understood his shallow search by looks in searching only looks he found zero love. He learned a lesson. I just wonder with so many opposing my view how many have long term close relationships. Shallow is the word today. You missed it. It did not find him zero love. It actually found the one he loves. Without the physical attraction, he never would have found her. This really is a no brainer.

NightScreams Posted March 29, 2017 #56 Share Posted March 29, 2017 All I know is an old man told me once to only marry someone you can stand to live with, everything else becomes irrelevant if you don't like living with them because you can't change people yet everyone tries. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really like throwing credentials around in arguments because I don't think it ever proves anyone's point. But since you brought it up , I'm actually employed as a therapist and licensed and I still don't agree with your interpretation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some years and experience behind me too. From my own experience, I remember being very physically attracted to a certain girl. I asked her out and we became great friends and have been married for over 23 years now. We never would have fallen in love if not for the physical attraction we both had. Physical attraction is certainly not all that is needed, but it is a big part of it. With "an A.S. degree in psychology", I would think you could handle other people's opinions a little better than you do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize for it. I took your following statement as condescending. "I have an A.S. degree in psychology and I am old and I have experience But you have it your way dear." I agree that people can fall in love and build physical attraction after, but it is the exceptions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkenpath25 Posted March 30, 2017 #65 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Follow your heart . I have been in several relationship's because I was sexually attracted to the girl's they turned out to be just that just a sexual relationship with no love . I have fallen in love with a girl that was very sexy and she was gorgeous , she turned out to be the worst person on this planet . Next time I'm falling in love with her heart not her looks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
