I can't exactly talk for the wife. But if I cant stand to look someone in the face, I am not going to be able to swing with them. But on the other hand if they have a a body of a 10 and i cant stand there personality it is not happening either. I do have certian things I look for but they are not the 10 commandments set in stone but more of general guide lines. Back in high school I still remember girls that all the guys where lusting after and I thought were dogs. And there were some that were the other way around. I dont know if you want to call it shallow or not but I dont wear beer goggles.
