Maybe they like someone for everything they are. Looks attract. Values and personality inspires a man to dream about a future and keeps him there.
Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.

Your Wife Is Your Youth
Grant Hope 80

Let your fountain be blessed,
And rejoice in the wife of your youth.

Let her breasts satisfy you at all times;
Be exhilarated
Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
-John Donne

Being proud of being sexy, attractive, and fit is nothing to be ashamed of. What's important to ask is, is your body and presentation of it a reflection of the best of your character or is it just window dressing. This is clearly a photo of a woman who has intelligence and is

Our present will become the past of other men and women. We depend on them to remember it with the complexity with which it was suffered. As others, once, depended on us.

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.

That is the beauty of a good man and good woman. When they can see each other for all God made them to be and understand each other in plain innocence, then they are not just partners, but friends that know each other intimately at a spiritual level.
