For some reason, we tend to describe our dream partner in terms of personality traits rather than appearances. My guess is this is due to our fear of coming across as superficial. I am just as guilty of this since I have always thought that I explicitly chose to focus on meaningful connections with people instead of falling for looks.

Just imagine you meet the sweetest, romantic, intelligent, and wittiest person on the planet, perfect in almost every aspect except a lack of physical attraction. What would you do?

I admit that I did break it off with a nice guy because I couldn’t get over the fact that I didn’t find him attractive enough. This experience aligns with what researchers found: for a romantic relationship to flourish, physical attractiveness is a must.
