In high school, my friend really fancied this boy who most girls said was ugly. He was tall, lanky and had a big nose. They made fun of her for liking him and said there must be something wrong with her.

I didn't really have an opinion of him. I didn't find him attractive, but I didn't go around calling people ugly, because I was already on the receiving end of that.

I wondered if she did find him physically attractive or if maybe she liked him for more than just his looks/appearance. I have been attracted to guys for more than their appearance before. Some I haven't found really physically attractive, but there was something else about them.

But it seems most people don't think like that, Most people don't seem to see past the outward appearance.
