I hear this all the time especially from women,they see a couple and they think one is better looking then the other and say he or she can do better

Why is it all about looks??

Just because that person isnt with the most attractive person in the world does it mean if he or she got someobdy better looking it will automatically be a better partner or person?? Or maybe that perosn has different tastse then you and actually finds that person attractive..

Its like people have a mental chart in their heads of peoples value looks wise and that each persons goal should be to get people on their level looks wise and not settle for any\thing less..

When you see a beautiful blond woman with an obese double chinned older man. Your common sense and gut instinct automatically tells you that something is wrong.

I don't know, but it seems that rock music is one guy for ugly guys to land beautiful women--on the outside anyhow. No telling what they're like on the inside.

I don't know, why do people comment when one person is 7ft and the other is 4'10? When one person is 350 lbs and the other is 105? Because they look mismatched physically, but that doesn't mean they are personality wise.

Aye! Good God, man! What's with you and looks? Are you still trying to find out why you're still single? You think you're too ugly? You would rather be with some shallow chick than a girl who likes you for who you are?

My boyfriend may not have a six pack, which won't impress me if he does have one but he's as sweet as he can be. If you don't have the confidence to have a backbone, you mind as be by yourself.

Its just human nature for us to want to group like things together. I am guilty of it myself. Maybe not commenting but thinking it. Not only looks, but personality or level of ambition.

Going back to the original question, it's just that there are still people who believe that finding love is a matter of having good looks. All anyone has to do is get out there--away from the computer--and look around at all the couples you see. There is a variety of people, from good-looking, to average-looking, to supposed ugly in loving relationships. On my end, I can honestly say that all the men I have loved in my life (I am forty-seven.), were loved not because of their looks but because of their ability to love me in return. Personality, kindness, sexiness, spirituality, etc.--all these things played a part.

The first thought is usually that she's a hooker or he's rich, unfortunately.
