I mean someone you don't find the least bit sexually attractive, but they have a great personality, your family loves the person, they are fun, financially stable, and they treat you like gold.

You don't want to have anymore children (with this person or anyone else), so having homely offspring is not an issue. 

How important is it to be physically attracted to one's mate when you are in your 40s and 50s and aren't making babies?

Not quite there yet in age, but I can speak from the experience of dating someone, who wasn't ugly but I wasn't physically attracted to him.  It just didn't work for me.  I hung in there for nearly 11 months though trying to get past the lack of physical attraction.  Turns out we weren't sexually compatible either.  In the end, I'd rather be celibate than to be with someone I'm not sexually compatible with or phsyically attracted to.  Nope can't do that anymore.  (Cringes).

I also tried to make it work with a man who was everything you described in your  topic thread.  He was homely but he had the nicest dark deep set eyes and long curling eyelashes. (I can always find a feature I like).   We were friends first and he was a lot older than me and sort of saw me as a little sister.  I was at the point (having gotten out of a relationship), where I figured an older man would be great, already settled and not into player games.  My mom and brothers thought it would be a great idea especially after they met him.  We had known each other for years.

I remember sitting on this guy's couch watching a movie on his nice huge plasma tv in his nice home.  I leaned back to try to cuddle, and he put his arms around me and....nothing.  I remember holding my breath and cringing, wanting to get physical and at the same time not really wanting it to happen.  It was way awkward for both of us.  I was never physically attracted to him and he couldn't get past seeing me as a kid sister. Embarrassed  (His words).  We never made it to the intimacy stage.  There was just no chemistry there on either side.  He said he always found me attractive but too young for him.  I was a bit insulted as I thought I was mature, and a heck of a lot more mature than the women he hung out with.  I think it was more of a matter of taste.  He liked the big BB women, and well, that's not exactly me.  Undecided

I would have to say at this point in my life, no.  Maybe later in life, who knows, I doubt it though.   After all people get on your nerves and if you find them ugly and they're getting on your nerve, you may just nut up on them.  Cheesy Smiley  I can see myself sitting up looking at them while they're slumbering thinking Got Dayum!! WTF was I thinking. Wink

Everybody is going to get older and nobody is going to look like they did in their 20's so I guess it doesn't matter, but if someone is what you'd call "ugly now" and they're getting older and uglier on top of that, well dayum that might be a mess to look at daily.  (Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so I guess in the end, it's up to individual tastes, one person's ugly is another person's beauty.  Smiley

Heck Ms HB, that's the bane of my existance now.  I don't need to wait until I'm in my 40's and 50's.  I already deal with this.

I'm no Hallie Berry far from it, and I'm not looking for a Denzel or Laurence Fishborne (Ooh Baby, baby Kiss), but can I please get the guys to hit on me, who aren't the scags on the street?  The ones wandering around homeless with missing teeth, looking for a woman to take care of them?  OK?
The half way decent looking guys don't approach.  They'll look, maybe lightly flirt.  They probably have too many women.to choose from.  It's the guys that I don't want anywhere near me, who will just boldly walk right up, "Hey baby whatz your name, can I get your number, you shore is etc...   Roll Eyes  Meanwhile I'm holding my breath trying to move up from downwind.  Huh
Meanwhile the cuties , have so many women in behind them, they're to lax to hunt.  They have to duck and run from the women hunting them.  Oh well, that's life. Smiley
