Hello!

I am conscious that someone I care about is attracted to me mainly because of superficial reasons and is unable to penentrate and embrace the qualities I have within on a deeper level, despite a year of learning about each other (hope this makes sense). A does tend to tell me that i am intelligent and kind and caring etc and all the rest, but tells me I am beautiful much more. I probably read like a spoilt ungrateful woman that can never be pleased! Yes, it's lovely but the thought of being loved for appearance is an empty feeling and not permanent. Beauty doesnt last forever, solid bonds need something more substantial to last. I think my mind and heart is far superior and enriching than what is on the surface, although what is on the surface is striking too to many others. This is frustrating but I am guilty for feeding this by taking pride in my appearance. I tend to enjoy making an effort with my appearance :blush:

I asked IC what is x's view of me, I received 22. unchanging.

I think then my judgement on A was correct.

I then asked what action would be needed to bring our relationship to a deeper level i.e marraige! I received 22.6. > 36

Would IC be trying to tell me to darken my light, be plain and simple, forgo makeup and frills, get out the flats and the frumpy attire and hide my attactiveness?
or maybe it is saying I dont need to do anything at all, but to try and deepen the relationship would mean my light inside would be darkened because i'd just be a surface beauty and nothing else?!

Maybe I can chop off my nose to spite my face...?!:duh:

I don't think Yi is saying to go out of your way to look frumpy, just to be your natural self. However, a certain degree of modesty, of concealing your fire, may prove rewarding to you. Although as a guy, I'm not so sure he'd be happy about that, at least at first. Usually a woman waits until she married before hiding away her fire.

I think women are much more likely than men to believe in a distinction/ difference between 'attraction to the real person' and 'physical attraction'. It seems possible to me that the separation you're making in your own mind might be perfectly meaningless to him.

The reading tends to back up that idea, I think. 22 isn't just about appearance; it's about appearance that expresses the essence - like a plant's appearance. You look beautiful - you are beautiful - same thing.
