~~fast reply~~ mental/emotional attraction is more important to me. thinking back on *every* partner i have had since i became an adult, each one of them has been what many would call flawed. too short, too much height difference, too heavy, bad teeth, balding, poor, married (not so much an issue when both parties are openly poly, but still), too thin, too much an age difference. but i've obviously found something wonderful in each of them, or i wouldnt have gotten involved with them, you know? (or my tastes are just weird. [;)] ) TheEngineer, for example. i teasingly call him a were-bear. or make sounds like i'm coughing up a hairball if we're snuggling. it *was* a mental issue at first glance, but he's such a lovely OMG-intelligent person, that after a while it just didnt register. now it only registers when i'm cleaning the shower, or the lint trap in the dryer. [sm=biggrin.gif] for me, beauty of the person isnt dependent on what their outsides look like. and its a good thing for this short, fat, 45-yr-old, health-impaired woman that the ones who love/have loved me feel the same way, too. (unlike the 22 year old sub male who informed me that the photos on my profile, and indeed the profile itself, were "gay". hee!) kitten
