Hi Starpuppy,
To a certain extent, sometimes looks play a part. No matter how
handsome others perceive a guy to be, it's No use unless I find him
pleasant to the eye (Brad Pitt transcends ALL barriers, by the way
).
After that, it boils down to the relationship, whether both of us
share the same beliefs, have enough differences to keep the
relationship interesting & exciting, & whether we're
prepared to do things to keep the relationship & romance
alive.
I've tried the lot: the looks, the intelligence, the academic
qualifications, the ambition & drive, etc. Then, I finally fell
head over heels in love, & ultimately, my guy is just my guy, I
don't look at him based on just a single quality or a few
qualities.
