Are you absolutely repulsed by her or do you find her average looking?
Physical attraction does hold some merit in the beginning of a relationship but you very quickly realize that what matters most is what is inside that person.
I won't drop someone off your list just because she's an average looker. I would at least give it a chance. You never know after meeting her a few times, you might feel attracted towards her due to other reasons :-)
It is sad really. Women have more emotional endurance than men, and our desi culture takes advantage of that tp the fullest by imposing a norm on women where it is not permissible (or frowned upon) for the women to factor in looks of the groom into her marriage decision.
Sometimes you walk down the street and see a very beautiful desi girl and then you see the guy and you go, " wtf? this guy couldnt get laid even if gave him a bunch of bananas and let him lose in a monkey whorehouse."
sigh
P.S. Sadaiyah, please change your avatar. You are a serious poster on GS, and it is hard for me to take your seriously because while reading your posts, my attention is distracted by that jumping monkey. Subconsciously, i feel like you were jumping like that while you posted the comment.
Well said :k:..only if it’s not too much to ask from a desi girl and not too difficult to handle for a desi guy. Refer to my ‘get to know him’ thread.
Choice between beauty or brains is not an easy struggle for any guy..it’s worse in our desi community. You have to bring a beauty queen wurna log kya kahian gay.
It Depends. It depends on you, that girl and your situation. There is no exact Yes or No answer to practical life issues like this. If parents are tryin’ to set you up with some girl and you highly feel that you are not physically attracted then don’t bother pushin’ urself towards that particular person.
But if you feel comfortable to be around that person and believe that she can turn out to be more of a fren after marriage then just a housewife then you need to resolve some issues within urself. To get onto something better, life always demand some sort of sacrifice at one point.
‘Don’t feel attracted’ being the operative words here, assuming that the attraction (be it physical or intellectual) is just not there-not even on some subatomic level, nope I wouldn’t. Not only that, I’d make sure that she’s not marrying me just cuz her mommy- daddy are insisting and/or she thinks it’s ‘the right thing to do’. If I weren’t such a desperate geek that is.
I don't think you should marry someone you feel no attraction to.
I do feel that attraction can develop as you get to know a person; however, if there is nothing at all to start with, I think it is unfair to both you and the girl. I'm certain a wife can tell if her husband is not attracted to her, and this can lead to all sorts of insecurities and other conflicts.

Yes! It is difficult to understand what makes the ladies click. How many hot chicks want to get laid with ugly, horrible looking rock stars??
