“Yes, there has to be physical attraction there, at first. But successful relationships are more than looks. It's about common core values instilled in you. That's family. Goals. Religion. Education. Ambition. Health. Work ethic. It's an understanding of where each of you come from, this way you know where you are going and evaluating if it can be together. So yes, looks are important. It's nice to be with someone you genuinely think is the best looking person in the room. That person that makes you forget others are even there. But looks come secondary when it's 11pm and someone comes home after a rough day and you need that support. Looks come secondary when you have this idea no one believes in but her. Relationships, the right ones are more than just looks. It's looking at each other and knowing whatever the fuck gets thrown your way, together you can handle it.  ”
