Again though, personality is what matters for me. Looks are a plus.
Well, the problem is we've come to relegate attractiveness based on looks at a cultural level. You're actually coming off worse than what you probably mean by putting it like that. It's almost like saying "You're funny, but you look like a dog! But I can look past your glaring unattractiveness!"
What it comes down to is the fact attractiveness is not based on looks. It's based on a combination of things. Beauty is not an objective experience.
The fact is, you do have to be attracted to your partner in some way for it to work as intended. You just have to. But you can be attracted to someone for a variety of reasons, all of which inherently make the person "beautiful". And yes, one of the things that can make someone subjectively attractive is personality.
Looks are just one variable in the math of love.
Very true. Attraction is rarely a simply matter of the physical. But it is a compenent. I am sorry but no one could be in a serious relationship with someone that physically revolts them. The thingabout Tali is she offers a package deal that contains both aspects. But as a character she was later written to be that kind of woman with the physical, mental, and emotional attributes to attract a portion of the playerbase.
That's why I get people making the pictures of her they do that emphasize the sexual aspects of her nature. Personally? I prefer the one that are more inline to how she actually looks and don't need the emphasis but the best you can do is ignore the pics you don't like I guess. That is what I do.
Yes and no. My point rests on the fact that one person can find someone revolting subjectively and the next can find them fascinating and beautiful. Because "attractiveness" and "physical appearence" are not the same concept. On a cultural level looks are very much apart of how we define attractiveness. And it's very very wrong.
Because I maintain that someone that society may consider "objectively" unattractiveness can very much find someone who thinks they are beautiful. Who is attracted to them. Maybe it's not because of their body. But because of their mind. Their heart. Their soul. Or whatever other countless ways a person can be influenced.
Call me a hopeless romantic and you might be right. I believe love can be found in many forms and in many ways. I think it's a mistake we try to shoehorn the experience of love into a single, defined concept. It's so abstract and variable it's practically impossible.
At the end of the day though I feel, regardless of outward appereance, somebody can find someone who they consider "beautiful" in every sense of the word. And they would be right. Subjectively.

So they tell me. But I remain hopeful that I am actually a sea turtle.
But perhaps a male sea turtle is OK too.
