Perfect Imperfections


Have you ever noticed that sometimes it is the imperfect in some one which we find attractive? Or am I alone in this?

I read a comment in MyEnglishF's blog, [post 583220] by mmmlike2taste, saying you know you are in love when someone's annoying habit drives you mad and yet you love them for it, and this is certainly true. But has anyone else had the experience of finding a physical imperfection attractive in another person, sexy even? We are used to thinking perfect is beautiful, perfect skin, a perfect smile, graceful body shape, etc etc, but I have found that I am often attracted to a small imperfection in an otherwise beautiful woman.

I'll give you a couple of examples.

When I was at college, I had a terrible crush on a close friend's girlfriend. Nothing ever happened, partly because I would never have even considered it, but also because she was completely in love with him. (She and I did have a "moment" much later, years after their relationship was over, but that is another story!) Anyway she was very beautiful, the kind of girl who could look her best even when she had only just got up in the morning after a party the night before, but she had a little imperfection. When she smiled you could see a small chip out of the bottom corner of one of her front teeth. It wasn't much, but I became almost fixated with it for a while. (You're all out there thinking, "this guy really does have some obsession issues," I am sure, but I'm ok, honestly, I'm not weird, I do have these things in perspective ‒ I just thought you’d be interested! LOL )

Without that broken tooth I know I would have liked her, but I don't think I would have lusted after her so much. When she smiled it used to set my heart racing!!!

I had a girlfriend for a short time who had a scar on her lip, and I loved to kiss that scar.
Even The Lioness had this thing, when she got really tired one of her eyes used to wander a little ‒ it sounds awful writing it down like that ‒ Dreamer was in love with some boss-eyed animal, but it was only noticeable if you were looking lovingly into her eyes in the first place, LOL! I did love it though.

Just the other day I had to go to a small town on business, and I was looking in the estate agent's window, as you do, when I caught sight of a very attractive woman in the office. She was on her own, and when she caught me looking at her, she got up, walked to the window and bent over to rearrange some papers, giving me a good eyeful of cleavage! Could that have been on purpose? I thought.
I couldn't resist going in and asking for some property details, and when we spoke she was giving good eye contact, but in the end my nerve failed me. ( Willhe69you2, who is giving flirting lessons on his blog [post 582517] suggested I should have wooed her with the line: "Nice tits, I wouldn't mind running barefoot through an acre of those," but that is another story too!)

The point is, while we were talking I noticed that her face was a bit lopsided and she had a red mark on her cheek just near her top lip; she was attractive otherwise, but the uneven shape of her mouth and the mark really got to me. I really fancied her. I could not have followed it through, and anyway, I perhaps I imagined her flirting with me, she was probably just being personable, but without the imperfections I would not have been so attracted!

Am I alone or can anyone share a similar experience? What imperfections have you got which might turn someone like me on?

I think I understand you. However there is a difference to FALL IN love someone with someone for the imperfection or BE IN love someone EVEN with the imperfection.
We ARE all imperfect and so are our better halves.
Sure my husband has many flaws THAT they ALL make him, HIM. I only knew him for 2 months before we get engaged and 4 months or so after that to marry him... so I really did not know many of his imperfection to fall in love with him for those... but NOW I know that I love him with his big nose. His left eye also get smaller than right, when he is tired and sleepy and I love him for that...
And although he is a child at heart and drives me nuts with his jokes and childish plays to the point that sometimes I want to cry and scream to leave me alone... but when he does not do them... I miss him being himself... joking and bugging me... I love him with or without all those imperfections in him.
I can't say... I fell in love with anyone for their imperfection because I never allowed myself to enjoy the company of other men... in any other way but that of a friend.
BUT I am human after all... and I have noticed in me, and pretty recently too, that most of the men I feel attracted to are the ones that have a flaw in their physical looks and it made me feel maybe I am sick or something... LOL in the least... I thought maybe I feel attracted to them out of pity for their flaw (imperfection)...
IN fact the first man I ever felt anything like love or a crush named, J, was when I was 16 and he was 26 and I can't say he was ugly... he was handsome with many girls after him... but he did have a un-normal look... like retarded look... yet intelligent. I can't describe... maybe the best way is that his face features were not proportioned...
But I guess now it makes sense... The way I always thought was that I like them, for their flaw... because it makes them who they are or else... they would be like anyone else...
Too long... sorry...

You are welcome MyEnglish, whatever length. Sounds like my fascination with these little imperfections is not so unusual after all!
