IF 'physical attraction', OF COURSE, is the UTMOST thing that brings couples together, then WHAT brings the 'blind' together?popeye1945 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 12, 2022 9:36 am Interesting, it certainly isn't an intellectual decision, the strongest impulse of nature the will of the species. Sometimes watching couples for their mutual traits I think there is a balancing going on here. One couple I knew, the girl had rather protruding eyes and her boyfriend had eyes like two piss hole in the snow--balance? I remember reading Schopenhauer and him saying that the intellect is provided by the mother and the character by the father. I compared friends and their parents and really thought in many cases it was true. This is before genetics, I still think there is a little something to it. Physical attraction is of course the utmost thing that brings couples together,
Or, does a 'blind' one NOT come together as a couple?

When young people discover the ideal that they married was a delusion, it's off for a fresh start only to be tricked again, it is just another warty farty human being. When I think back upon my failed marriage we were just two very young people with nothing particularly in common but perhaps our mutual emotional retardation, our emotional intellects were on the same level. So, it's definitely NEARLY always physical until one is older and other things weigh into the equation.
