haha I stand corrected.

nah, I like your perspective, good analysis, I was just adding to it the obvious outcome

Too many ppl here still living in lala land thinking personality is everything. Personality and looks both matter. Stop denying looks don't matter please. I doubt anybody's gonna care about the person's personality if the person is 250 pounds and has huge mole on face with flat face and flat nose with small eyes, unless that person's your coworker or family or something.

Everyone has their own opinion to what ugly is and whats beautiful too.
Looks matter to everyone Im sure but we all have our own opinion to what attracts us and what does not.

Personality matters to or you would'nt have a connection,the better you 2 match up the better the relationship will be.

he should either look really good or have a lot of money.

Looks don't matter as much as they used to.

We have make-up and comestic surgery, these days. >_>

As long as my wife isn't physically deformed, mentally retarded, or have some kind of life-long disease, I am fine with it.

You kids need to know we all get old.
You must learn to look past things and see what you really like , pick a couple things you really like about their appearence, it should be more then one and also have a great connection with them because a few of those thing you like, could fall apart in time.
Your too brainwashed with tv and LA.

OMG, why do you think there is cosmetic surgery and make-up in the first place. Seriously some of you need to actually step out of your room and outside of your house. Some of you've been staying in house too long to realize that people judge by looks all the time. I'm so sick and tired of internet fairies that still refuse to live in the human world.

hahaha can't we agree that I live with my set of illusions and you live with yours?

looooooookkkkss are important but personality counts but i am picky so idk?

As I get older, I have noticed that looks have mattered less. Not saying that I'm old, just that I see a bit beyond the surface of things.

One thing to keep in mind, what ever his or her parents look like, that is pretty much what he or she will end up looking like or very close too, no matter how hot or not so hot he or she is now. That just a fact of life. We all age, we all get wrinkles, and gravity always wins.

Every seen photos of some of these old and scary looking celebrities, some of them were beautiful at one point and time. But I digress, it all depends on what your looking for and how you were raised.

I've met girls that aren't particularly pretty, but for some reason, I just wanted to F**** the crap out of them.

Maybe it's the way some girls move, sound, act or maybe its sex pheromones.

At any rate, I don't really care what they look like as long as they are not ugly. all they have to do is get my motor running and I'm good to go.

looks shouldn't matter in a relationship )
Although looks DOES play it's part, but still, it shouldn't matter:))

Don't kidd yourself ... looks are very important
But, having a wild one on your hands can make a plain Jane more fun to be with ...

If you are talking about a brief relationship or maybe just a fling so of course the good looking ones are more to go for
but I don't think everybody would be satisfied with that..and as for me looks don't mean a thing..especially when it is love that you are really looking for

Don't kid yourself. If an ugly guy came up to you ... you would shut him out quicker than a wink
That is human nature. You want attraction. You want chemistry. Then, you want a person who clicks with "YOU"
Personality comes second. Brief relationships or long ones ...
You want someone who you can look at and feel good about yourself ... like a trophy husband/wife

Oh, I forgot the first and most important is hygiene.
If they smell then they won't have a chance even before they get ten feet near

I'm not kidding...I'm a doctor and I've seen far the word of "ugly person" you can ever imagine but I don't turn my back on them and I certainly do not look down on them
And I'm true to my words

You didn't say that you would date them or marry one???
I think your words have more hidden meaning???

Looks are what attract, but when things go deeper it's all personality.

I know plenty of hott guys but there are some that I can't connect with and simply just can't be myself with. Don't get me wrong, they might be great for another girl, but everyone's different and everyone can have different connections with a certain person obviously (ehh worded that word but hope you get my drift).

I don't think that I could date a guy that's shorter than me (pretty tough, i'm 5 ft) that has major acne and is like obese and ugly, that's definitely a no.. but he has to be somewhat acceptable which isn't hard actually. For my personal taste...even if my friends may think they're ugly or not good looking, i always seem to find at least one certain aspect of a guy that is attractive. Everyone has their pretty points. and I think that's what usually makes it work for me.

I think looks just mainly plays into part of not only as a target for flings or whatever, but since they probably get more people approached to them, they get to meet more people and discover their personalities.

Eh.. just a tad bit from my perspective lol

I go for beauty and personality.... 8/10 at least.

i dont believe in marriages
emm...sorry..i think its more of i dont believe in people..but i do believe in marriages

Physical appearance is an important facet in any relationship because finding your partner physically attractive is what helps keep the relationship together. Those who claim to entirely go for personality are naive as no one is completely hollow, since there is always the slightest bit of shallow affection in anyone. As far as rationals are concerned, physical appearance plays an important role on a scientific, genetic level, as generally, people want the bearer of their offspring to be of superior physical condition, thereby suggesting that their partner is the bearer of superior genetics. That is why it is in our inherent instincts to procreate with someone who is physically pleasant and free from genetic deformities. After all, no one wants to be marrying a down-syndrome suffer and have half-retard babies.

Considering what I have just said, my answer would be no. For me, I'd just keep them strictly as 'friends' or social pawns, as I like to call it. Unless of course this is a same sex relationship and one of the 'boxes' ticked off was the person being filthy rich then Booyah! Married ASAP.
