A relationship based solely on physical attraction will eventually fizzle out, unless one's looking for a fuckbuddy.
A relationship that begins with physical attraction can work if both parties find lots of other common ground and enough difference to keep it interesting. It will require consistent and constant hard work.
A relationship that begins as a friendship that takes an intimate turn will more likely be lasting. The foundation for that relationship was building before the sexual relationship began and will likely prove to be a more harmonious relationship.
That's how it's played out for me, anyway ...
