It seems like an odd illogical question but that is the dilemma I have with this woman I started seeing. I knew for a while now and really like her personality and she asked me out so and we started seeing each other, but even though I love her personality and we are a good match that way it seems, I fail to get aroused by her because she is too goodlooking. She is literally Hollywood, supermodel beautiful and that's the problem for me, sexually. She's too perfect, and I guess she just comes off having a phony supermodel face and body that I just can't relate too.
But my guy friends think I'm crazy I think and feel that I should be really turned on by someone that goodlooking. Can I chance my outlook on it, since I really like her personality, or what do you think?
I was and in a way am actually the same in that the media portrayed models rarely attract me, but the ones the media rejects I find more attractive? It is just how my mind thinks they are too perfect. I think most men think like that in that one will find the less perfect looking ones are the first to get married, and yet the perfect looking ones with every hair in place and makeup done to perfection will usually find they rarely get asked out.
I never forget hearing about a young man who was part of a big American church. The church pastor gave this story. He said that this young man was odd. He did not behave like other people. (He was very likely on the spectrum I would imagine). He would come out with random statements which did not directly relate to what they were talking about. The pastor liked him, but was puzzled and he could not seem to get on this young mans wavelength.
Then one day this young man came in with his newly met girlfriend. The pastor was gobsmacked. His new girlfriend was Miss America. The pastor didn't even know if he knew who she was, so the pastor asked how they met.
The lady said "I was lying on the beach on my own feeling lonely and also thinking about life and what it is all about, and he comes up to me and says "Do you know Jesus Christ saves you from your sins?""
"He said what I was asking. I immediately became a Christian and started dating him".
While the pastor recalled this event, he was saying how some people are neglected from society as they seem to be out of touch with everyone else, but these people canbe totally in touch with God.
While I don't remember word for word what the pastor said... It is my account based on what I heard about a decade ago... But it does show how things can happen. But it also shows how we are all different.
I rarely ever get turned on by pin up perfect girls, but rather I get turned on by either women who have interesting character or women who are different somehow?
I am less turned on by women who plaster their faces with makeup and try to look perfect. I see through this somehow?
I look for their hearts.
