    I’ve found myself being interested in girls who weren’t what I’d typically find attractive at first but their personalities grew on me so much that I started to be blind to the looks issue.

      That was me and my ex, until she turned out to be an actual monster of a human being and consequently I stopped finding her attractive physically too. Turns out horrible people can mask it for a while. But when I still liked her as a person, I was also attracted to her physically

      Now that we’re divorced and a fair amount of people have asked me what I saw in her (look wise in particular, for some reason), I’ve told them that her looks were never an issue for me at the time, I even found her beautiful. If you love someone and see them smile or laugh, that just changes everything after all. It was only after it was over that I realized she was never actually conventionally attractive.
