We have a word for people like you up in Colorado - it's baa'aah! OK, now that I got that bad pun out of my system...

Brianna, your story of the guy with the great eyes is a great example of paradox. If mere looks had attracted you to this guy, you'd have hit on him the moment you set YOUR eyes on him, without waiting for your friend to point him out. People pass us by everyday, something has to happen to make us rest our attention on any given one. Your girlfriend had to comment on the guy which probably got you curious about him, so you started talking to him or whatever and - ZING! - you discover this amazing chemistry as you gaze into his eyes and exchange pheromones. In my example, I walked into the meeting where "Robert Redford" was sitting rather late. I must have glanced around at him while I was looking for a place to sit, but he didn't draw my attention until I heard his voice behind me. So, I think "looks" are only a small component of the very complex equation which equals attraction.

BTW, I always tell my SO that he has the most INCREDIBLE EYES! And he does, too. I see his essence reflected out of them. And, no, keep your hands off! He's mine!

Skill and looks are important but I am currently viewing things from the other side. My most recent X deemed them to be too important and he was trying to be overly what he called, "erotic". He started to remind me of a sleaze. He had it all. Skills and Looks.Too much for my taste........He went from hot to ..ok you think your hot get over it. Point being, skill and looks are great but I think it should be backed up with some semblance of character. I'm thinking of a personality vs skill scenario....do you really even notice or care about minimal visual flaws if these two things are in line? If they are graced with personality, skill, and charisma and you are still worried about looks i'd say you are not looking hard enough. (And by skill i'm saying out of the bedroom too) So that's my not so sex-educated opinion....and i'm sticking to it.
:p If you Had to go with one or the other? My ...my....why in the heck would you do something like that?(I think some boyfriends in high school tried to make me decide the same thing)
