With me, it's 50/50. I need a balance of personality and looks, or you're not getting a chance. :P

Looks matter....If they don't...you are either Mother Teresa (dead not a saint)or some ugly mother yourself. Sounds harsh...but its true.
Yea. That's me I guess.

Looks don't matter to me. But honestly, even way back in high school I wasn't shallow. And EVERYBODY is shallow in high school.

I wouldn't mind just so long as I didn't have to spend time getting to know women well and then have them reject me on the basis of no physical attraction. Excruciating heartbreak.

If every woman wore an illuminated sign on her head that said, "You're an ugly ****. I will never f@ck you in this lifetime no matter how rich or cool you become." I'd just walk away then and there, and this world would be a better place for me.

I always admit that I'm not the most attractive guy ever, but that doesn't mean that I'm not going to settle for just anyone. Even if it takes awhile, I'm going to wait until I come across someone who I am attracted to, and I believe that's how everyone is. I mean, lets be honest...no one is going to date someone who they aren't physically attracted to in one way or another. Saying that looks don't matter is just silly in my opinion.

To be honest, it's kind of been a moot point for me.

Every woman I've been on a date with or went for I've had at least a minimal attraction to. The ones that I've ended up dating have been WELL over that minimal attraction level.

But there are women I have no physical attraction to. And I would date them if they were awesome people. I just haven't had to deal with it yet. My natural standards of attraction are very broad. I guess that's good.

Looks and money definitely matter. However how much each of these matter varies with different people.

Looks matter more than most are willing to admit. Personality wins in the end, but if you're not attracted to the person then the rest doesn't matter.

He doesn't need to be gorgeous but he does have to be someone who I want to kiss often. That is all I require in terms of looks, but I have dated guys who I wasn't that excited about kissing and it didn't last.

The little check mark indicates that I have already replied somewhere in this 32 page thread, but I have to say that LOOKS VERY MUCH MATTER!! If you are not physically attracted to the person, they pretty much are just friends material. We are talking about looks at the beginning of a relationship not after 25 years of marriage. Intially, you HAVE to be physically attracted to them.

I agree. The chances of me being attracted to someone without an initial physical attraction are about as likely as Jerry Sandusky being invited to host an episode of Sesame Street.

Looks really don't matter to me that much. Honestly - I want someone to make me laugh. And someone I can learn from. And no, I'm not a saint. And no, I'm not trying to act holier than thou. Truth be told - I like to be the pretty one!
