I'll give you an example. I'm a big follower of professional tennis. You can find me a lot of the time sitting on the couch and watching matches. My mom will sometimes watch part of a match with me. It's no coincidence that she always roots for the better looking player. Plain and simple: women are drawn to good-looking men.

I think most men care more about a woman's looks.
Me- Sure I do need to feel attracted to a man in order to want to get physical with him but his personality/qualities are more important to me- I want a good Christian man, who always treats me with respect, is very loving, caring, faithful, cares about the way he treats others ect.....

I agree ive seen women who know nothing about sports just root for the cute qb or whatever lol

I actually agree with you i think women are visual on steroids..theyre whole life is vanity and judging looks..and if you look closely at how some women react around good looking men its kinda creepy but women arent looked at as the threat strange men are so its looked at differently..

However, I am not sure looks are the overriding factor for women when seeking or remaining in a longer term relationship. In my experience, women tend to be more discerning with other factors of personality before looks in this regard.
Yes.... women would be pickier for casual encounters, because they have more to risk (socially, physically, perhaps even emotionally), and why risk it on someone not very good-looking? After all, a casual relationship is mainly about physical connection, so why wouldn't that be the main criteria?

When it comes to long-term partners, then the criteria will change.

Since men have less to risk in a casual encounter, they do not need to be as picky. But for a long-term relationship, they can get VERY picky. I'm sure most of us have overheard such charming admittance from some men such as, "Yeah, I'd do do her, but I wouldn't marry her."

That is guy talk. Women aren't supposed to hear that.

Both care about looks and superficiality. I do think however, women are more stringent about having "deal breakers." I never heard a dude say he had physical "deal breakers" for things women can't change.

Watch any male porn and read any female 'erotica'. Notice the women change in men's porn as far as body type. Read any female erotica...and the guys are virtually the same.

It's so true. "Tall, dark and handsome [and rich]" is what women like. There's not much deviation from that. Whereas you ask 100 different guys what his ideal woman is like, and you get 100 different answers.
