I was wondering, could you love someone or even be attracted to someone if they had a skin disease/condition?

SO regardless of how that person felt about themselves whether that was negative or whicever, you’d still love or be attracted to them no matter what?
yes if they had a sweet personalitly its all good. only conceited people couldnt look past someones physical flaws
Love isn’t about the physical. That’s just lust. Love is about who they are, and never what they look like.
Yes. I love someone with acne. I almost never notice it. (I notice if it’s getitng better or worse, but it doesn’t affect how much I love him)
yea and the people that cant see past flaws are not even worth your time
wow. that is so true. you guys are good people without a doubt. :)
people that base their “love” on physical looks are dumb.
It depends. Are you talking about a little acne or a full-blown bout of leprosy?
Interesting post. lt does seem like its easier for the ‘attractive’ crowd to find love, or enjoy lust.
i don’t quite know how to quote yet.
but for hopefortj:
something like more serious than acne unless the acne is like serious or something.
so it could be anything, i was just being general.
no problem.cleanliness is more important to me than that.in fact,i dont think im very pretty so I wouln’t feel intimidated.Like they wold not be’ out of my league.’Does that makes sense?oh well
i guess it wouldn’t be love at first sight. But when I’d get to know the person better, and he/she is kind and fun and everything, yes, of course i could fall in love.
uhhhhhhhm yeah why not
i think you can most definately its where the heart is and always….personality overcomes looks..if you feel you cant look at them everyday and feel like, dang look at there face then you dont really have true feelings for them..
My ex-boyfriend has skin cancer. we didn’t break up because of that, broke up because we never talked any more casue we didnt go to the same school. and at the time i was in love with him, and i still love him just not in love anymore.

You quote by clicking the little Text Bubble at the top right hand corner of the original reply.
As another poster said, however, everyone has their flaws. It could be a skin condition, a prosthetic appendage, or simply bouts with depression. When you allow yourself to love someone, you love them fully, acne and all. When you’re 17, you think stupid things like “maybe if she just lost some weight…” But by the time you’re older, you have a much deeper understanding about what truly makes a person and, if everything works out correctly, your superficialities begin to lesson in the true light of life. This is not to negate the impact of attraction on romance - I don’t know anybody that’s gotten married without being attracted to each other on one level or another. But, from my perspective, it does suggest that the things we find attractive can grow and evolve just as much as we can. Does that answer your question?

absolutely. :) thanks for all your help. i believe you’re right with everything you said.
Hm, my dad has eczema and my mom loves him. My fiance also has it, although it’s really mild…it was kind of strange—I spoke with my mom to get a special shower head to reduce the toxins and thereby break-outs…if you truly love someone there is very little you can’t see past, especially if it’s something they don’t have control over.
An STD like herpes, might be a different story though. Since it’s contractible.
I think you will eventually like them for who they are. The more you like someone the more you dont notice stuff like that. Just take the plunge and see how you feel later. It sometimes takes a couple of days to sink in…just see how you feel after you have let them know how you feel.
