The shape of perfection is round, and just as a wheel rests on spokes, so does a relationship (I learned about the wheel-spokes thing at an incredible seminar www.bookpublishing2.com).
When looking for the person you plan to spend the rest of your life with (yeah, that long), you should consider four basic aspects: physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual.
Leave one out, and your wheel won´t turn. Don´t believe me?
Consider this: You are very attracted to somebody. Just thinking about him/her makes you fell like a toddler learning to walk. You get close, you want to impress, so you tell your wittiest joke. No response. Those beautiful eyes are glazed with stupidity. You say you´ll try the next belly-acher in your repertoire, the glaze deepens as that small, unused brain churns over what you just said. You delude yourself thinking, I don´t need him/her to laugh at my jokes, or even understand what I said, as long as I have that knock-out by my side (specially in a horizontal setting, of course).
Newsflash: There isn´t a plastic surgeon in the world that can make a 50-year-old look like a 20-year-old. Those looks will be gone sooner than later, and you´ll end up waking next to the not-so-good-looking-anymore dummy who still doesn´t get you.
By all means, go ahead and admire the dummies for what they are: bright decorations. Just remember to go home with a human.
