Physical attraction (the most important thing).
Posted : 1 Jul, 2011 10:24 PM

I have an idea, let's have a photo rating system, I was thinking numbers 1 through 10. 1 being inhumanly ugly and 10 being stunning.

Who all is willing to go under the microscope?

I think it's a great idea. After all physical tops spiritual any day. I mean you can't see spirit, you can't touch it.

Personality? That's overrated, what century are you from?!



Just because we're Christians doesn't mean we don't have standards for beauty!

God bless

"Personalities aren't likely to change, while looks definitely will. You need to be in love with the person as a whole, inside and out. If you don't love the person's heart, what happens if they get in a terrible accident and are disfigured in some way? You just run off because they are no longer attractive? "

I've been saying this for YEARS! First time I've seen someone else say it. Bravo! :applause:

yeah...I don't understand how you folks keep not hearing that...if a woman WHO I FIND attractive, is interested in me, and she is not a Christian it's a no go. It is not the single most important aspect, or criteria, however it is an important one. It is a subjective what I can tolerat, not what the world thinks, cause I could care less.



How many here can claim to be beutiful inside, how many here have a golden heart...tell me if you do.



btw if not mistaken Rachel was very beautiful...i'll take a 5 or 6 with a heart full of Jesus any day, but I have not known one single female christian single like that. A heart so transformed it shines like the dawn. :)

what do you make of Romans 12:2 and 3 I am not the same person I used to be. Even some of my taste have evolved. I am dying to my old self, and becoming like my Lord, my love. I am trading my idenity for His, and even though God made me to live in this shell, who I am in Christ will carry on.



In love feelings will fade with beauty, marriage if done right is a life of sacrafice and service, where you will find yourself constantly putting yourself under another, or exalting another who is not worthy of it. A person apart from Christ will just decay the same as their body will, Christ will be the only thing a person can claim they have inside otherwise, its just an old stoney heart that is decietfully wicked, cause not one of us is good...not one.

Hi. :) Good to see you back, Mr.Dreamtime.

@ Rabbit, honestly, your last post was my favorite. Forgive me, you came across as snide to me at first. No one is telling you you can't have a beautiful wife. I was asking you, almost pleading with you to reconsider some of the things you've said which might have been hurtful, in doing so I realize I could have made it seem like was attacking your character or you personally.

I'll get to my point, the reason why your earlier posts upset me was because it seemed like you made them to intentionally hurt/cut, Cobbler's as well.



As you've stated over and over, you have every right to give your opinions publicly, I was just asking you to review what you've said, and consider it could hurt someone, and no one would want that.

Certainly I wouldn't have wanted anything I said to have hurt you personally or anyone else.

@OP:



Okay, I'll go first then...



I'd rate my face maybe 4 or 5 (depends on whether I've got the facial hair or not). Grades head south as you work down from my head though!:rolleyes:

Myself I think that there is a difference between beauty attraction. Attraction is a physical element, whereas beauty is heart of the person. I am not sure if this is true in itself or merely helpful as a tool for giving wisdom on the subject.



There is much that one can do to care for their appearances, and there is much that it says about oneself, reflecting both something about their heart towards God, others and themselves. I use to think that we should not be attracted to a persons outward appearance, this has changed simply because I think it is not Biblical. Simply man is attracted to woman, and vice-versa. If someone ignores this and neglects their appearance on the principle they should like me for me, then that in my view is selfish.



However of the few ladies that I have liked, most were not my type but when I got to know them they became ever-so-attractive, crowned in His Glory.



So is physical attraction important; yes ... and what else.

Yes, but some believe it's most important. I think they can be easily led with their eyes, which is dangerous, they're not taking the Lord's majesty and goodness and spirit in, only physical things.

The bible says God is Love, it does not say God is Sex.

Just saying. :)

I think most men here, especially those of us who live long enough to see beauty fade on a woman know it's not most important. :)

Charms fades on men too, you do know that, right?

Money can be gained in a day and lost in a day, what's really important is your walk with the Lord, and only that.

Who do you suppose will want to stay with you forever, someone who finds your checkbook attractive or your spirit?



People are always more willing to see themselves as great, powerful, beautiful... without realizing that pride is disgusting, and turning to humbleness, and gentleness.

Wouldn't you say?
