I want to know from the people on this forum about something that I seem to notice with others. I know a lot of people of the opposite sex sometimes to be very compadible with one another yet there seems to be hesitation on of the people, usually the one who is considered "better looking."

Just out of curiousity: How important should looks be when u want to be with somebody? I know everyone says that were are supposed to love other people regardless of appearance, but don't looks dictate a big part of what makes other people attractive. I mean how are you suppose to kiss someone that you don't think is attractive.

Looks do matter to a certain degree.

You don't look across a room and think man that guy/girl has got a great personality. Well actually depending on the person you could I suppose.

I have met attractive people that once you hear them speak they go from a 10 to a 2.

Love is probably everything. Looks and personality tie in second place for me.

Looks are not everything

When I first met my hubby I thought he was cute but not my type at all. BUT.. I already knew his personality and the more time I spent w/him the more I liked HIM.. not his looks

Now when I look at him in my eyes he is the most incredibly sexy, handsome man I have ever met.

What's in side is what made him more attractive... He has a beautiful heart.. that's all people should look for

Speaking for myself, looks don't matter. What's much more important is who they are inside, having a good sense of humour, compatible personality.... and having good hygiene.

It also doesn't matter what my friends rate his looks at. I'm the one dating him, not them. It's my relationship and not theirs. Besides, everyone's tastes is different. So don't date a based on looks just to impress your friends. That would be a huge mistake on your part.

Well, you have to be attracted to the person you're with. But what people are attracted to varies from person to person. My girlfriends' SOs are attractive, but they're not guys I would be attracted to and vice versa. What matters is if you're attracted to the person, not whether anyone else thinks that person's attractive.

I don't believe any of the women here who say looks don't matter. So I have to bring up this guy again. Remember how you all said you would not date this guy because he physically repulses you all.

Eh...wrong answer...you asked if the women would date a man that looked like this if he made 250k per year...remember? You were all about the money.

And I said I prefer a man with teeth...

You never asked if looks were everything. They are not. They help, but they are not everything.
