Why worry about being turned on by an attractive woman? In our society,
we learn that looks count and that the best women to have are found in
Playboy and the like. The first girl I ever asked out was a doll, and
she turned me down because I am not very good looking (I know this
only because one of her friends told me this) and it turned me off
from pretty girls. I didn't ask another girl out for three years
because of this, but when I did, she was a very pretty girl. Since
then, I have dated girls that were pretty, and thought that I was
falling in love, but after asking myself why, I realized that any
girl can look pretty if she applies herself. My girlfriend is not
beautiful from a physical standpoint, but is very attractive when
she tries to be (mainly when we go out, otherwise it doesn't matter
that much). You can't reverse what society has taught you, so
quit worrying about whether or not you can get that Playboy
centerfold and worry about what you need from a relationship. There
you can find love, whatever it is.
