Don't do it.
I did this once before, without realizing it. I liked literally everything about her except looks. My biggest internal conflict was that she wasn't attractive enough. I thought that "i can be a better person and overcome it because she has so much that I like". Of course nobody is perfect. The longer we stayed together, the more things I didn't like would bother me. Instead of becoming used to her quirks, they started to become annoying. The internal conflict never faded but got worse. Every time I saw hotter women I would get jealous and angry at myself. I would get insecure when being with her in public. She passed the boner test for me but it really just makes you hate yourself when you know you can do better.
Eventually I ended up dragging the relationship into a big pile of shit where I really didn't care and just started being a beta bitch. This was obviously bad for her as well because a relationship where one person hates themselves for being in the relationship is awful. Then I found this forum and promptly broke up with her, which I really should've done 6 months prior.
I think there is a healthy balance of not having to give it 100% every single day to be in a LTR, but also being very attracted to your partner.
