Why do you think it is?
Because mine is not based on that. When I love, I love too hard even without reasons.

Very wrong!
It's safe to say attraction is based on beauty (which is widely relative). And it's not every time guys/girls get attracted by looks. Love on the other hand isn't same with attraction. So many folks are yet to get this. Like I tell people, love is not the feeling you feel when you feel the feeling. When you say you love someone, you're saying you've decided to be committed and to "love" the person irrespective of his/her shortcomings/liabilities. Looks have more or less a tiny role to play in this.

This completely rules out the idea me love at first sight. There's nothing like that. You cannot love someone you don't know.

It all gets clear when the vapour of emotions begin to sublime. You'll get to know you never really loved the person.

Your theory is wonderful and I would agree with you but let's look at the real world . How many care about this actual love? Face it, most value a pretty face than the one they love. They're too busy marrying good looking flashy types of beauties so as to secure the same luck for their offspring cheesy. Maybe people, especially guys, forgive my insistence on that, don't care about love as long as she's pretty

Well we can only trust the love we know. I'm sure you have a beautiful heart. But it's men that think that way mostly.

The theory I gave you is what's applicable in my "real world". How can a man value a container more than the content? It's stupidity to me. Well, you used "most men" meaning you weren't generalizing. Even at that, the "most" is not completely true.

Marrying for beauty goes a long way to explain why we have so many disjointed marriages in the world today.

If you insist that guys marry for beauty, then I won't be wrong to say all ladies marry for money. tongue

I don't believe I am like that. The one I chose wasn't that dream person in looks at all. I am just saying what I have really seen men do. It's like being ugly is a crime a woman should be mistreated for.

But you chose him for a reason? If yes then you're just as guilty as the rest of us.

Romantic love is ALWAYS conditional. ALWAYS! So don't come here tryna judge others or maybe try to make yourself feel better coz you aint. wink

*just as guilty*

False, it goes beyond beauty other things are involved. Beauty can't keep a marriage you know. Certain virtues are of immense importance.

Moreover different strokes for different folks. People reason in manners that suits them.

Love is definitely based on looks. So called fake love which is common in Nigeria. Girls look at fine faces and men look at boobs and ass. If a man is in a relationship with an ugly woman, he hardly honours her or treats her kindly. Most romantic gestures are extended to a good looking woman, while an ugly one no matter how loyal or decent, is treated like dirt and expected to be grateful she was even looked upon at all.

It is the undeniable truth that no matter how bad tempered an extremely beautiful woman is, she is treated like royalty. An ugly woman can never get away with such unless perhaps she is married. So called 'love' is not blind, partners, no matter how randy, are chosen for their beauty, by men , to a great extent. Does this not prove that this fake thing people call 'love' is based on beauty?

Your opinions are welcome.

Beauty laced with fine looks, shapelly assets(curves and boobs) can almost always get guys attention but it doesnt translate to love. infact, its more of infatuation & lust.
most times, guys are aroused to sensual desire on sighting attractive ladies. Average looking girls are more taken seriously are real love materials than strikingly pretty girls. Lots of pretty girls dont have characters that men want for their "for keeps" woman, frequent admiration by men make them arrogant thinking they most sorted after.
