Could you have a relationship with someone that you were not strongly attracted to?

1. No.

Really no. I can't date people I'm not attracted to any more than I can date people of average/below-average intelligence.

I've gotten crap here for this before but I will date the meanest most selfish monsters if they're hot, dress stylishly, enjoy nightlife, are brilliant and are good in bed. All the "we're compatible" in the world to go with shared interests and being a nice person will not cover for plainness or homeliness.

I however love online dating...they post a picture and tell you all the crap you normally have to figure out how to subtly ask on a first date like "Are you looking for someone to marry you and starting having kids in the immediate term? (Because I'm not up for that.)" and "Is there an even 50%-chance we're sleeping together tonight? (I need to know so I can figure out whether to pick the onions out of this salad and pass on the garlic bread.)". It's like catalog shopping for romance...I like catalog shopping: It's easy, convenient and I don't have to put on pants.
