Are looks more important to men or women? Or is it equal?

Your right, not all guys r like that but the majority is. And even though u say your not all about the looks, it is scientifically proven that males have it built in them to be attracted to a women just by how she looks. Not saying that all men are like this but think about how many men cheat on their mates every day. Basically men are generally driven by wut they see and girls are driven by how they feel. You c it in ppls actions all the time. Oh and don't worry I'm not ragging on the boys cuz some girls can be players too.

I can't speak for "men" but I can speak for myself.\n\nBeing a man, I am attracted to beauty.  If I see beauty walking down the street or in the store I will admire it...as beauty...like looking at a sunset, a work of art, etc...beauty for beauty's sake is well, beautiful.\n\nBUT... if I am looking at having a serious relationship with a woman, beauty isn't in my top 3 three things to look for, it's probably in the top 10, but not top 3.  The top 3 things I look for...\n\n1) Intelligence. \n2) A sense of wonderment with life.\n3) Common sense.\n\nBeing that I'm almost 40, been married twice and in my younger years "dated" frequently, I have realized that outward beauty, while nice, pales in comparison to the beauty that comes from a quick wit, a passion for life and the common sense to make decisions about things.

Either gender can increase in beauty and personality,.... or can turn into a scraggy old thing.\n\nResults vary and depends on many things, starting with genetics, health, life experiences, lifestyle / habits,.................

A great personality. Looks do matter but a great attitude and personality can certainly make up for "average" or "below average" looks while no matter how "great" looking one is if the personality and attitude aren't there, I'll see ya later.

This is a tougher question to answer than it seems.  First, many studies have shown that men are more visually affected when it comes to romance than women.  However, without a doubt, physical attraction does play a role for both in the initial encounter.  However, if physical attraction is the only aspect of the relationship, it is doomed to failure.  As it takes awhile for persons to learn about the inner qualities of other persons, that aspect takes a deeper meaning only as the relationship developes.

Stop worrying about it. Girls are a lot less visually oriented than men. If you have a great personality, intelligence, sense of humor, etc...who cares if you have a little extra weight?

Looks are very important in a relationship.  You have heard of “love at first sight”.  That doesn’t mean that the guy has to be great looking or the woman has to be sexy.  It just means that at the time those two people saw each other they were drawn together because of the way they looked and they connected with each other.

Attractive people have always, and will always have an easier time of things; from being served first in a crowded bar to being selected for a promotion at work. But as far as the things that REALLY count are concerned (i.e. family, friends, happiness), appearance has little bearing. At the end of the day beauty fades, but a good heart, intelligent mind, and caring disposition stay with you for a lifetime.

I think you'll find guys like looking at attractive women but want pretty girlfriends.\nA male judges a females looks by a nice figure.\nA woman judges another woman's looks by how much make-up she wears.\nWe live in a very visual world.\nTall girls? No man wants a woman towering over her.\nMind you, people like Sylvester Stallone/Tom Cruise don't have much of a choice in the matter.

Both depends on the person, generally guys are better at the objective(actions), and women at the subjective(feelings) etc

Well looks are only part of it.  I know that one thing I find sexy about models is their confidence level.  I've met some women that wouldn't be considered very attractive physically by society standards that really shine because of confidence.  Of course there are guys that are so superficial that all they care about are looks but those guys are typically losers.

Personality is more important, and sometimes it's the personality that makes the looks attractive even when they aren't. I'm not sure if that makes sense... ;)

Hey, men and women both are attracted to physically good looks but personality works both ways, too, being a powerful attractor.\n\nSome men and women might even be judged as average looking by the world but never be alone because they make others feel great to be around them.\n\nI've heard women talk about this, and I've found myself attracted to girls who, at first glance, wouldn't normally be my type.\n\nBe smart, funny, kind, considerate,  a good listener, and fun, and see what happens.

I'll be honest here ... \n\nYes looks are important ...\n\nIt may not be the only thing that's important when dating and getting to know somebody, but it sure does count in my book ...

"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.

That's because in general men (myself included) tend to be more visual and look for an instant attraction.  A woman is more likely to take the time to make an assessment of a man's character, his sense of humor and wit, whether he's interesting etc.  The first cut, if you will, for a man is physical attractiveness.  While for women, that criteria may be down the line a little and she is more likely to give a guy a chance who fits all her other criteria but may not be the best looking guy.
