It's nice to see someone else who thinks like that mrk2010.
It often seems like the gay community is solely about looks these days. I very much agree with you, it's all about how a person acts and how they treat me, if they look good then that's a pretty damn good bonus, if they don't well it doesn't matter too much because of how amazing they will be in other areas if they are the right person for you.
I just wish more people felt like that, so often promising relationships are spurned because "you're not my type"(incidentally, i'm not implying by this post that I look like a troll or something, that's not what I mean at all ).
That being said though, and I suppose this is a bit contradictory, an attraction is important. For a lot of years I felt like sex wasn't important in a relationship, but having had a relationship where the sex fizzled out after a couple of years, eventually leading to the relationship's collapse, I've changed my mind on that, and I think 99% of the time for you to have a sexual spark you do need that attraction. So, in summary, it's a balance
