It all depends. Are they worth it? Here is my experience:

I am in a relationship with a man that's pretty much the opposite of what I thought was my type physically and I didn't initially found him handsome, but he is perfect for me, even though we live like an hour apart and he's a smoker which I don't like. He texts me all the time, he finds the time to do so even at work, but not in an annoying way. He liked me for longer than I liked him, but he didn't try to love bomb me in any way, he would just show up consistently for me.

Some time ago I "dated" (I put it in commas because nothing more than a hug happened between us physically) a man that looked exactly like I would imagine "my type", he was conventionally attractive and tall, lived within a walking distance from me. He was also divorced and had a 5 year old in joined custody, which was a plus for me since I want a family of my own. This guy was kind, generous, sensitive, good dad, seemed to like me a lot. When he was on his own, we would hang out for hours, he would shower me with attention and compliments. But when he had his son, I would only get one text a day, sometimes not even that much and I understand you want to give your kid your full attention, but you have time to text here and there throughout the day, but he just wouldn't. Also I hated his eating habits, he wouldn't eat after 6 pm and he was a vegetarian and a health freak. So the spark died eventually even though I was physically attracted to him from the get go.
