My tastes run the gambit, but I'm still Arab-centric. However in the wake of my nasty divorce I've began to really put more focus into personality and values rather than appearance. We all eventually get old and wrinkley anyway.
You said it sister; we all get old and ugly no doubt about it.

I have been married for nearly 15yrs this July and there was no doubt rocky times but if you love each other and get along for the most part you can make it work. If it doesnt work, that's ok as well.
