We often hear that looks may be important, but character is as important if not more so.
However, I've noticed that people assess another person's character based on their looks. If you like a girl, she may be dumb as a rock but whatever she says sounds reasonable and even intelligent to you. If a girl doesn't like you, no matter how gentlemanly, romantic and genteel you are, all your gestures will be wrong.
If she likes you, flowers are a present that expresses caring. If she doesn't like you, she'll say you're corny, old-fashioned, silly and just tasteless. Similarly, if he likes you, any little gesture will be interpreted as well-meaning, refined, pretty or smart. The same gesture, done by a girl he doesn't like, will be (to him) silly, meaningless, contradictory or just plain stupid.
If our own appreciation of character is thus tainted by the basic physical attraction, then could we say that "looks" is in the end the only thing that matters?
