I don't know.......if I were a guy and you ask me what kind of girl would I want. I would answer: "the kind of girl that knows my heart, for I don't care if she isn't pretty"
I knew a guy who could have penned those words, and well he was a train wreck. He was ultra-sensitive, codependent, completely lacking in social skills, and borderline creepy. Being his friend was hard enough, I pitied his girlfriend-listening to him whine about that break up and never finding love again was a form of torture.
On some level, I think there's gotta be physical attraction-though granted you could end up more attracted or less attracted to someone as you get to know 'em. I think "knowing the heart" or whatever is just part of the whole getting to know somebody process.
Actually, since I've gotten comments on this a few times, one for the guys: Would any of you not date a girl 'cause she's smarter than you/better than you at lots of things?
