Forget looks or charisma, peace of mind is the new sexy. AIBU to think people underestimate how much security shapes connection?

what makes you think it's underrated? Or have YOU just thought about it?

Maybe a bit of both. It just feels like people talk a lot about “spark” and “connection” but less about how much peace of mind affects attraction long-term.

I could be with a guy who’s got lots of money , generous and some similar interests to me - but he’s also an utter bore with no charisma or sense of humour . So no- for me financial stability doesn’t trump other things . I’d rather be skint than with a bore.

It had never crossed my mind. I just thought old ugly rich guys must all have amazing personalities.
