Like most people have already said, it's compatability that really matters most.
I'll put myself up as an example. I'm an average asian female in early to mid twenties, very short, mid-length sleek straight black hair, very prominent eyebrows, medium olive tone skin. Whether that is "attractive" to people, that's their decision, so I'll leave it up to them.
On the other hand, I play games. Not a whole lot (not to the extent of my guy buddies or my boyfriend), but enough to not be a complete noob (Magic the Gathering, World of Warcraft, Halo 2, Counterstrike, various console games to name a few).
I play video games (WoW extensively) to keep in touch with RL friends and to spend time with my significant other. It's not the optimal way to spend time with each other in some respects, but it's a way to keep communication for us. It's situational. What works for my personal relationship when it comes to gaming together may not work with some other couples out there. For me, it works because I work late at night and often times too tired to go out with the BF to "spend time" together. But, if it's gaming, I can come home, get on the computer, and chat for about 3 hours and do a decent amount of instancing / question on WoW while having a good conversation with him.
If it was RL, chances are with in that same time frame of 3 hours, we'll have dinner (1.5 hours), talk, and that would be it...and with a big chance that I'd get tired and fall asleep during that three hour date.
Dating with someone attractive over someone who you're more likely to care much about because you're more compatible with means that you're basically only looking skin deep. I find my boyfriend extremely attractive (I'm biased, sorry), and he's a tad bit "too much" of a gamer for me sometimes, but it's the other intellectual/emotional connections that we have that keeps the relationship in tact. At least that's what I'd like to believe about us.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
