I am a dork

I don't believe "looks are everything." All I meant was that, from a picture, you build up a mental image of what a person looks like. I have three different ID badges of me sitting on my desk, and they all look like three different people. If you met me, based on any one of these pictures, you'd say, "Hm, she doesn't look quite like I expected."

Of course looks aren't anything. I don't know why we even need to go there. I didn't say they were. If anyone chooses their dates based only on what Playboy/Playgirl says is hot, they're pretty shallow. But people do pick their partners based on how attractive they are to them, and there is nothing wrong with that. Being attracted to them physically is the reason you are dating them instead of being their buddy. Why on earth would I date someone who I didn't want to kiss?

I wasn't attacking you in anyway, just to let you know, if you think that, i'm sorry.
But to be honest, I would rather take a girl that I can relate to, even if she isn't attractive, as opposed to a girl who is hot, but can't talk to me or make me happy.
Basically, in the end, we all lose the looks and we all end up old, what holds people together is the love.

Wait, so Blaine are you saying I'm not attractive kidding!

Anyway, AlphaChiOMy - youre not a dork, trust me. Chicago is huge and its hard to meet people who aren't fake or a complete loser. If Blaine's brother from Illinois doesn't work, one of my friends has an older brother in his first year of med school at Loyola

I hold out for someone I am attracted to and can relate to! Mind you, I'm not saying I date all ripped studs or anything. I look for guys I'm attracted to, not ones that everyone else says are great.

Of course, if I see a cute guy and talk to him, only to find out he's a jerk, he stops being attractive really fast. Personality is more important than looks, for sure.

You are not a dork...at least not for this. I think that you are a little lonely. Maybe you can affiliate with a college alumni group as a way to meet new people. Perhaps there is a great guy here on GC who lives near you and is waiting to meet you.

Unrelated question: damasa and/or IowaHawkeye, are you a couple? Did you meet through GC? Damasa, how are you feeling? Are you all better?
