To be honest if I am attracted to a guy despite his uncoventional looks then he becomes more attractive as time goes on, infact if anything I become appreciative of his looks.
Uniqueness you mention this guy is kind hearted and caring but do you find yourself attracted to him?, no point eating food if your not hungry.... Spark
Life is one those things that most of us have to experience... Love peace \'N\' hair grease.

Ugly face equals ugly soul.

@ Uniqueness
Listen, if this guys looks is a real issue for you, it doesn't matter what anyone on here says about what they would do, because the 'physical attraction' thing will always be a barrier.
Face the facts. You think you should be more attracted to him because he is a really nice guy......BUT!.... you are not because his looksjust cause something deep inside you (i.e.DESIRE) to 'switch off' big time. You may feel bad because it makes you seem like one of these shallow individuals who is only interested in looks.......Maybe you are, maybe you are not, but no matter how many boxes this guy ticks, if he doesn't tick the one that is critical to turning on your 'I'm-hot-for-you' tap, it just isn’t going to work for you.
On the other hand, it can happen, and often does, that a person meets someone, who though they are not immediately drawn to from the point of 'physical attractiveness', butover timewhose 'character/personality/spirit' connectswith something inside them. Paradoxically,it has the affect that the person seems to get more attractive, though (in actuality) theirphysicallooksdo not change.
You see, it is all the qualities a person posseses which determine how 'attractive' they are, not just facial or bodily aesthetics. Much like a song you hear which you think is absolutely brilliant and gives you a glow every time you hear it. It does that because the whole scenario in which you heard that song (e.g. the situation you were in and the way you were feeling at the time) were just right. The song then becomes a catalyst thatbringsa reincarnation ofthat situation. Likewise, the face (that may not have touched you initially) becomes one of the most handsome/beautiful faces you have ever seen, because you now associate it with all those beautiful personal qualities that touch you deeply.
The thing is,you cannotdetermine for yourself which of the above twooutcomeswill apply in your case after that'not-so-attractive-initial-contact'...........it all comes down towhat is inside you!
Respect
There are those who feel that the only way to ‘prove their own worth’ is by ‘devaluing the worth of others’. You will often find that a man who is compelled to measure his substance against the substance of another, has little of substance in the first place!

clp)This is absolutely correct.I'd also add that this time of attraction tends to be enduring, as you said Backatcha, it's not based on superficiality.

What do you mean by not very handsome?If it's "notvery handsome" as in he's average, then yes I would. But if it's "not very handsome" as in he's physically repulsive, then no. I value kind heartedness as well as intelligence but I also have to be able to look at the guy without cringing.

i know exactly what your talking about,im going through the same situation myself now,i met this guy and he is one of the best people ive ever met but i didnt find him that attractive at first but the more and more i talk to him and get to know him the more i do find him a little attractive,in my experience the men who are very handsome are too bigheaded and self centred,i mean basing everything on looks isnt a good way to go because eventually looks do fade lol  and all you will be left with is the persons personailty,so i guess u have to ask yourself what is more important xxx

I have done this in the past because I saw a good man and didn't want to blow him off because I didn't want to feel like one of those shallow girls. I've learned that turning him down intially is better then me trying to make myself like him andplaying him later. Deep down inside I'm might respect him and see him as the type of man I want, just not him. If I let it go on, he will just get hurt in the long wrong so better off avoiding the whole situation if i'm repulsed by him regardless to his goodqualities.
To believe is to have doubt and no facts but to know is to have facts and no doubt.
