Do looks really matter to you?

"Looks" as a whole dont matter but there has to be something to attract someone. I dated a guy that wasnt that attractive BUT he had a beautiful smile and that was all it took.

whether man or woman,we all judge people based on what we see first.but after we get to know the person behind the face,it would typically matter who is that person,if he/she is nice,do you get along with them,does their presence make you feel good about life.so over-all looks and personlity as well as charcter will always need to go together to keep that attraction alive.

I think personality and how you carry yourself matters most and most of all how you treat others, I've seen many good looking people, who lack personality and seem very standoffish as well as arrogant and nobody wants to have anything to do with them, I've learned people love people who are approachable and easy to talk to, who have a positive attitude, and believe me looks become secondary, many people are into looks, but eventually as you know that wears off, over time. \nI'd teach my children not to judge a book by its cover.

Looks may get my attention, but talking to the person and seeing what she likes, dislikes, what she is all about, what are her hopes & dreams, finding out who SHE is does more for me than the looks part.  If she is a brain dead idiot, looks won't help.

I think you live in a society that gives too much on the appearance. In fact, I believe the attraction only comes the fist few seconds you notice a person, then once you are getting engage into a conversation, the looks don't really appear to be matter any longer. I've had many beautiful girlfriends before, and once you are getting into a fight with them, the looks don't count anymore. In fact, once you got to know a person or live with them, the looks hardly matter as you will not notice it as much as before you got to really know that person and talk to them.

Is looks the only important thing?  I know a lot of people who are not the prettiest / most handsome, but are great people.  Think about what is important to you, then make your decision. If you dump him, be honest why.

Not all of us do that. Atleast in my case what a person looks like inside is just as important to me as what she looks like on the outside. I was very lucky to find my gf because she is beautiful on both the outside and inside.

Yes I would.If u want a serious relationship or something thats going to last it doesn't really matter to me what someone looks like as long as their a good person and their good to me thats all that matters.If I can look into someone's eyes and see he cares thats the best feeling u can get...Way more better than being with someone w/ a great body.Personaility comes first to me and if they got both even better!But if not 1 out of 2 is fine w/ me as long as the 1 is personality.Cuz whats the point of being w/ a good looking guy whose a jerk u know?

good question.look DO NOT matter in the sense that if you fall in love with someone you're only going to have eyes for them anyway.looks DO matter in the sense that when you fall in love and you only have eyes for them that you realize they're total eye candy! :p  you have to realize, you might be a perfectionist..there is someone out there for everyone as everyone in the world has different tastes..someone might have a thing for tattoos, or scars, another for smooth perfect skin..someone else might go for short guys, another for super-tall.  you're unique-and that's why someone will fall for you. all YOU have to do is enjoy it.\n\nhowever, the key point here that i'm sensing is that you're not loving yourself-if you think you're slightly overweight-and this is one of the things you mention bout your whole self in two lines, then i'm guessing that youre probably weighing yourself down with guilt and negativitiy as well.  could that be stopping you from going out and living a better life?  if so, just see if you can lose that bit of weight you think makes you look bad..you will feel so much better-emotionally, and physically.\n\ngood luck.

yes, sadly.  looks are so important in our world that people only see the outer layer of our beings.  why should it matter if you are a little overweight? a little older? not too pretty?  these are the hidden prejudices.  and don't let anyone tell you they aren't there. \nolder employees are a valuable resource:\nolder women re-entering the work force aren't looking for husbands and trying to start families, so they would be more liable to stay in your employ longer.  \nolder employees aren't apt to be phoning in 'sick' [read hung-over /stoned from too much partying].\nmany men, and women, miss out on wonderful relationships because they are looking for that 'perfect' person.  and employers are the same. sad but true .\nif i were in h.r. i would be different from the norm and hire that gal that is a little frumpy or that fella with the 'not so perfect'  teeth as long as they fulfilled other qualifications.  i would suspect they would be far more loyal employees than the 'pretty ones' if only because i gave them a chance.  pretty people don't have to try as hard as they quite often can get by on their looks.\nhaving said all that there are exceptions to every rule!  my theory may not always prove to be right, but i'm thinking it is most of the time!

Some do but a lot don't think that. When it comes right down to it people seem to pick not only by looks but by personality & compatabilty which in the end is more important

Yes, but not everything is about looks.  They just help.

Deffinetly personality. Looks aren't really important to me. I mean, yeah, clearly if he's got a great personality and he looks hot, I mean, yeah, that'd be a great bonus, but as long as he's got a great personality, I'm set.

As a guy, apperance comes 2nd for me.\nIf a girl has a great personality and has a certain amount of confidence, that will make the girl prettier on the inside(cliche but true.)\nA girl with JUST good looks will get boring after a while, she has no real "core" to her.

if you are looking for a wholesome interior, then looks do not matter, but if all you care about is a soothing exterior, then I guess they do...\n\neither way, to me, they don't matter anymore. and yes, it can work if you don't find a person cute. I had a type before I found the man I am with, we were good friends, and I saw something in him that I never saw in the good looking guys I always went for, I mean he's not bad looking, but he wasn't my type then. we have been together for going on 7 years now and we have two beautiful children together...the tables have turned now, I went from being thin and fit to gaining alot of weight with my pregnancies, and he still looks about the same, and I was a very beautiful person then, and now, I have a nice face, but you wouldn't see that if you judged me by my weight......but he's still here, and he still loves me more each day!
