Open your eyes

The saying goes "just because it shines like gold, doesn't mean it's good". Some people find that a hard concept to follow and end up finding out the harsh reality of their actions. It is important to take into account every aspect of a person when building a relationship other than the physical. The physical aspect of a person tends to be blinding and can lead to acceptance of someone lower than what your moral standards are set to be.  It tends to cause you to turn the "blind eye" to the things that may in fact repulse you. One must take control of their mind and do not let feelings control your actions. Feelings are impulsive and often uncontrollable whereas your actions should come from reason. My general philosophy about this is that one should respect oneself enough not to settle for a golden exterior with a dark, less than sufficient interior.
