Father God is merciful and kind. He's not religious and nit-picky. Everyone is different and that's just fine, that's the way it's supposed to be.
My hubby's BIG & TALL MEN size was exactly what I needed because I'm like a tall willow tree and always felt awkward around shorter people, particularly guys. With my husband I could run across the room and jump into his lap without fear I'd break his legs. ROFL!! Also, because of my painful past, I felt safe with him around me. Even though he became a Christian, he looked like someone you just don't mess with.
Everyone's given the freedom by our Father God to make choices and nobody should make anyone else feel guilty about it. Don't ya think?

I agree with this very much. The more I get to know someone, the less I notice what they look like and the more I notice them as a person. What I see there determines largely whether or not an attraction grows or fades. I think this happens to both guys and girls, but that physical first impression hits guys much more strongly because they are visually wired.
And more than that, physical good looks do not really equal attractiveness imo (again, probably more especially for girls - again, with the visual wiring thing). A man can be extremely charming and attractive to me without being physically "good-looking." [Granted, it does help... x)]

LOL Right there with ya! I'm not going to base my choice of a spouse around this, but if I did have to pick a handful of physical attributes that I would favor (xD And honestly, some of it has to do with the fact that I would get picked on about it), it would be height - at least as tall as me, preferably. Wouldn't want my high heels to make him feel insecure... x) (Not that I've never been attracted to guys shorter than me before - but you're absolutely right... it can play into how secure a guy makes you feel).

Reading all of these responses, and I'm just over here like...
Ok, I'll spell it out for ya, young brother. We are conditioned from the cradle to believe what we see, feel and hear must be the truth because after all, the majority of people believe it is so. And the advertising industry needs your money, so they want you to believe it, too. Their job is to make you hungry so you'll buy their food, make you feel not acceptable so you'll buy their weight loss program, make you think you're not attractive enough so you'll buy their beauty products, and convince you that you're just mentally and/or physically ill and need the horrid medicines the pharmaceuticals hawk.
And in conclusion, you are attracted to what the world tells you is attractive.... until you meet a person whom you love for real because your heart falls in love with theirs.

You're a dear to have taken the time for this, though.
