View Profile History	looks Posted : 8 May, 2012 06:52 AM Well that depends... Is faith only fairly important? I would say no and I'm sure Winslow would as well. Post Reply
View Profile History	looks Posted : 8 May, 2012 08:19 AM Some women whom the world would not find attractive have become extremely attractive to me because of the amazing relationship they had with Jesus Christ. A close, personal relationship with Christ is of far greater value than any amount of physical appeal. One is able to produce a Godly marriage, real love and intimacy and Godly offspring. The other is able to produce nothing at all on its own. Post Reply
GodsChosenDaughter View Profile History	looks Posted : 8 May, 2012 09:23 PM it is hard to write everything on the profile what you are and where you are in your spiritual walk in Christ right now. It really needs discernment and wisdom from God to be able to tell if the one you are looking at outside is totally different in the inside. TheBible teaches us in 1 Peter 3:3-4 Your beauty should not consist of outward things [like] elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold ornaments or fine clothes; instead, [it should consist of] the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very valuable in God's eyes.(HCSB) Post Reply
View Profile History	looks Posted : 9 May, 2012 04:44 AM Dreamtime, I completely agree with you. A guy by worldly standards who might not be handsome, can be extremely handsome to me because of his relationship with Christ. It is more who a person is. Putting it all into a profile of who a person really is, is next to impossible. I guess that's why we need to keep in touch with our heavenly father. Post Reply
View Profile History	looks Posted : 9 May, 2012 12:43 PM Faith and heart trumps all! I say this because even if a woman is drop dead gorgeous to my eyes.. if she doesn't have Jesus in her heart, then it's a no-go. And let's say she is a believer... if we are not both passionate about God, then we are not running together but in different directions. Proverbs 11:22 "22 A beautiful woman who lacks discretion is like a gold ring in a pig�s snout." True, we should enjoy beauty while we're still young...but in the end, we all turn gray, old, and wrinkly... :laugh: And by then, all that matters, or what should've mattered is our hearts and minds; our souls that remain in our shell..pretty or not. Having said that... I pray to be naturally attracted to my mate/spouse(that I wouldn't have to force myself)... and I think that's fair enough to ask(I also want it to be mutually felt by her too..as in she's attracted and won't have to "force" herself to like me), it's just not the only/top priority... I have met countless women... who demand that they have a man who is, "rich, handsome, funny, and has a six pack, big muscles-but not too big".... that tells me they have a skewed perception of what a healthy relationship might* look like....lol.. I am looking for a person first..not some hot object to give me pleasure...or when I get winked/messaged by a person with no picture(or almost no info in their box), if I got their attention by...yeah you guessed it...a picture(my profile picture which led them to click on it in the first place)... wouldn't it be fair to ask for a profile picture back? Don't get me wrong, there are certainly equal but opposites out there(as in, MEN, who demand a supermodel yet they are nowhere supermodel looking themselves..or hit on women for their beauty when they don't even have a picture up themselves). In the end though, I stress again, beauty does not prevail, it's only a small part of the package, faith+heart+mind trumps all for me... what if a man loses his beauty, should his wife stop loving him? I'd say of course not.. hence why "looks" is not the top factor...they just have to look "healthy" enough to me(generally what i see as "attractive" enough) I know I went off on a tangent a bit, but to recap, I believe it's one's heart and mind that will outlast their physical beauty..afterall marriage is intended for "till death due us part"..for life... and "looks" are not forever... yet at the same time, I do desire to be physically attracted to my spouse too, lol..which again, I say I hope she is physically attracted back, that when we tell each other "honey, you're beautiful", we say it with honesty....to me if I can tell you're a female from a distance, or you look "healthy", then that's attractive enough towards the right direction..I don't demand super-models because, hey, I'm not a super-model myself...just a guy who tries to take care of his body and my health.

View Profile History	looks Posted : 9 May, 2012 05:43 PM Here's another good verse... " But the Lord said to Samuel, �Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.� 1 Samuel 16:7 Post Reply
Tulip89 View Profile History	looks Posted : 11 May, 2012 09:27 AM People need to find their spouses attractive. No one wants to hear that their spouse only tolerates their physical appearance. I know I certainly don't, and I'm sure none of you do either. Where things get confusing is that women have this idea in their head that if their ribs don't show, they aren't pretty or that anyone other than a 5'10" blonde with a giant chest and a skinny waist is going to disappoint every guy she meets. There are a lot of men who are attracted to a lot of different women. If you look at the women I have been attracted to, you will see a large variety of body types, hair colors, etc. That said, there are a host of other extremely important factors as well though. Walk with the Lord, personality, intelligence, etc. are all instrumental as well and should not be sacrificed for the sake of scoring a hot spouse. Post Reply
John_O View Profile History	looks Posted : 13 May, 2012 04:00 PM Even with Christians I believe there has to be a physical attraction. It's the first thing we notice. Now what we all find attractive if different . Heck it's found as early in the Bible as Genesis 6: 2 ...... that they were fair. Fair translated beautiful. Gen 12: 11 ... art a fair woman to look upon. When Abram saw Sarai Gen 12:14 .. beheald the woman was very fair. :hearts: LOL. How about Isaac saying Rebekah was is sister because he was worried about being killed because ... she was fair to look at. Gen 26:7. Now guys, I don't advise you to call your girlfriends "Fair" unless you are ready to do some explaining :laugh: Post Reply
