<p>People who say that looks don’t matter in a healthy relationship are fooling themselves. Also, people who put way too much emphasis on physical beauty within the boundaries of a relationship are also off their rockers. As others before me have said, there has to be a balance between both partners in the relationship, as far as looks go, in order for both partners to be satisfied. Your girlfriend obviously has her own set of hang-ups about the differences in attractiveness between you two. I think you should talk to her and assure her that she is beautiful in your eyes. If her hang-ups, as well as yours, are left unresolved, there will continue to be a sense of instability between you two.</p>
<p>Also the_vanquished, if you don’t mind me asking, how attractive would you consider your girlfriend and yourself on a scale of 1 to 10? The disparity between you two can’t be that great, can it?</p>
