I would have watched it if you didn't say that.

I dont understand, if girls don't like my chess why do so many of them ask me to teach them chess?

"Oh we do love to beleive things like "It's personality that counts really" " beauty is only skin deep" etc don't we lol !!!!!!"

Seems like most people neither like nor try to believe it actually :)

My hubby hates chess......and I certainly dont have an issue......

hubby?

hahahahahaha   nahhh  no divorce..... after being together 19 years I guess is ok....he doesnt bother me.

it's not what he bothers...

Olichris: There was someone who posted here (credit to post #43 ) and said something like "if he is smart, cares about me, likes me, etc... and if he just so happens to play chess, it's a nice bonus."

That's basically how I think of looks. Looks obviously give some kind of pleasant experience, as does finding out you have a common interest of chess with someone. But neither of those things really make a difference about how I assess them as a human or whether I want to be with them.

Looks on a human being is one way to satisfy my "beauty craving"; I could also look at a painting or listen to a piece of music. So if the person looks good, sure it's a nice bonus -- now I don't have to buy a painting -- but that's not really what makes me want to be with a human being over something nonliving.

It's true that there is psychology to looks. When I see a pretty girl, my first thought is wow, she's so desirable -- so I do get a first impression. But then I start to question that impression -- I question if I really have any idea who she is. She could be great, bad, or somewhere in between.
