Part of me is hoping to grow out of that, but the other part of me wonders, if I DO grow out of it, am I lowering my standards or settling?
Just wanted to offer a different perspective...

I can be that way too, it all depends on what I am looking for, lol.
If I want a RELATIONSHIP then appearance DOES matter but it is not really the end all and be all, what matters is the quality of that person's character. Are they cool? Are they smart? Do hey have the required sense of humour (although maybe I should take this out- my boyfriend can never tell when I'm jokin, he says it's cuz I speak with
authority lol. He has a good sense of humour on his own though, and I can always laugh at the dorkiness).
None of our friends (who have known both of us for years) would have ever imagined us together, but it works, what can I say?
On the OTHER hand, back in the DAY when I was clearly not lookin for love it was another story. What in the world would I have been doing with someone ugly? I wanted ARM CANDY- can I introduce you to all my girlfriends and be assured of their envy? Can I post pictures of you on the net and be like THAT'S MINE HAHA (ok, that is a joke- never that, but you get the picture). Appearance was key.
Sounds a lot like with guys. Hmm.
