Yes, it matters to many people, and it isn't wrong or unfair to prioritize attraction/physical chemistry.

Tbf both genders do it..judge the opposite sex on shallow things but don't like being judged shallowly.

I also think men were told women aren't as hung up on looks then men which is completely untrue.. They're just as into looks as men are

I also draw the line at needing a bag of flour to find the wet spot and a few other extremes like that. On purely physical attributes only, I still probably keep 70% of the female population in play. For me, it's the non-physical attributes that fairly quickly eliminate 90% of the dating pool.

I had sex many times with women I was not at all attracted to. I just date for sex and an imaginary romance in my head. I can pretty much have sex and kiss someone with having zero attraction to them. On dates I am more concerned with finding someone to have a long lasting sexual relationship with and could really care less if I have any physical attraction to the person or not. It really beats being lonely and having to resort to masturbation all the time.

Every guy is different though. Some people really need to feel attracted to the person to have sex with them, for me all that is required is that I am horny. Woman, man, tranny, or whatever walks in the door on the date if I am a horny there is a good chance if offered I will not hesitate to begin a sexual relationship.

I tend to be just happy to get dates period a lot of time and to be in a relationship even if I am not attracted to the person or if I know the relationship won't last, I would rather be in a relationship then not in one at all.

I am 5'4" so beggers can't be choosers. Had about 38 partners in my lifetime and I would say about half of them I had zero sexual attraction to or interest. Been married before to a woman 15 years older than me and I honestly was never very attracted to her, but I think I did love her. I knew the marriage wouldn't last due to the age gap, but hey was an enjoyable few years having a spouse and a sexual partner every day of the week. I don't regret it, just got a divorce when I knew it was time to move on.

So you're saying I can line up 500 21-year-old women taken randomly straight from a college yearbook, dress them identically, and you wouldn't find the majority of them physically attractive?

Of course it is.

Good looking or physically attractive? Two different things.

No the former (not even close to 51%, I've worked at several colleges, probably closer to 20%), and I wouldn't know about the latter based on sight alone.

Feed it into Google if you care. It will turn up endless references to a decades-old crude joke about sex with fat women.

So true. All of those comprise physical appearance and play a role in attraction. A person can change how they appear simply by having good posture, walking with purpose instead if shuffling their feet, holding their head up and making eye contact instead of hunching over and inward while avoiding others. Good grooming and neat dressing contribute to the physical as well. The physical is made up up all of these things and more, not just "hot or not".
