Physical attraction/"chemistry" is important when it comes to dating, though the right personality has to be there too. However, not everyone uses a person's facial features as a measure of physical attraction. A nice body can go a long way in that department.

I've never dated wallets, abs, or hair. I don't much care what you look like as long as you are clean and well groomed.

The short answer: Yes, probably so..

But, there has to be that initial attraction, and that usually comes from either looks or personality. So, to get to the dating part of things, I have to be initially attracted to them.

Sometimes, personality goes a lot further than looks.. I mean, hell, just look at me and you'd get scared to death.. short, fat, bald, three teeth - green of course, but hey, I've got one hell of a personality.

Bottom line: If you're attracted to them, go for it.. If not, well, move on.

In whose opinion are you going by? people have their own ideas about who's good looking, etc. Not everyone has the same taste in the opposite sex.
I think you date people that appeal to you, not what what other people think. They may seem average to someone else, but very good looking to you.

That sounds pretty wack to me. I don't know a soul that doesn't "much care what you look like" in the context of dating.

If I don't find something attractive there, we won't be breaking bread together, that's for certain.

Before I've met my husband, I have dated guys who were not considered physically attractive by majority, but there was just something about them that was drawing me to them. I think a lot of it had to do with personality and mental connection.
Another way to know if there is chemistry is to kiss this person, I mean literally french kiss this person. I've had situations when I wasn't finding this guy attractive at all and then he would lean for a kiss and the kiss would just be magical. Next thing you know: Boom! Chemistry is there.

Although I agree that physical attraction is important, I believe that physical attraction can come later, after you get to know someone mentally or sexually.

It just so happens, my husband is the only one that my friends went ga-ga for, he was the only one who is considered handsome by majority...but it was more then that for me, not just physical looks.
