Once again this is some great info and advice from both sides of the argument! Thanks fellas. Thing is as many of you mentioned about looking at the superficial qualities only and there must be some level of emotional connection present and the girl has to possess more than just looks...that's why I posted the initial question is because she absolutely does. I have been with many women in short term bursts of less than a few weeks that matched her looks wise but lacked the kind, caring, funny, sweet personality and it was absolutely no problem saying adios I'm not dealing with this shit. However with my current girl I do really like her and want to make it work hence me asking for tips on how you guys deal with some of these issues. It wasn't a bitch session nor me flaunting my inexperience in relationships but rather seeking advice on how to make it last on a longer term basis and even how to overlook some of these issues. The poster who said he looks at the getting ready marathon as a compliment that she wants to look good for him is a perfect example and that too is how I try to re-frame (ala Tony Robbins lol) the situation. Anyway, thanks again guys!
