Is this possibly a case of the ends, meeting someone, justifying the means, being physically attracted to a person enough to build up the necessary courage to actually approach the person. This is not meant to imply that I only meet people who are physically attractive to me but when you know nothing else about a person, what else is there to motivate yourself to go over and meet them? There are occasions when I have met someone with whom I simply share a "mind set". This leads to many interseting and varied conversations. To me, these relationships can be the most rewarding.
