+1 I find that the people who say looks don't matter, are usually unattractive.

I will NEVER say that looks don't matter, as I've always liked men who are typically considered handsome. But I've also(to a much lesser degree, but still noticeably) liked men who aren't so blessed in the looks dept, but had lots of other stuff going for them that made them, overall, very appealing and attractive.

My current boyfriend fits the latter description, but it has more to do with his weight than his phenotypical features.

While I think that physical features are important, they certainly aren't the be all and end all for relationships. Very attractive people oscillate in and out of relationships on a very frequent basis. Clearly, looks alone aren't enough to keep them in serious, long term relationships.

Its not all just "natural", either you got or you don't. BS.
Wow, look at how much a man who's not attractive has to do just to get a woman.

Because ugly and fat people date and marry other ugly and fat people, is it really that hard to understand?

Well it is hard to understand when you misspell really as "realty"

Besides from the tone of this thread made it seem that if your "ugly" or overweight you will never find someone ever.

I was recently watching a tv serial that had this hot guy as one of the main characters.
Hot hot hot.

Then it turns out he is a scheming, heartless, manipulator.
He got ugly really fast. Strange, but it was amazing how quickly he became extremely physically unattractive because of his deeds.

This other guy who is more so-so looking (no chin, ick beard) has gotten more attractive because of how he acts.

I always hear this from women on here talking about the looks of their friends s/o..why do women tell their friends if they think their partners ugly? my god thats classless if i said that to my male friends about their wife i get punched in the face..

Do most women just have no filter?
