looks are somewhat important, but not the most important. personally i prefer a man who has a great personality, sense of humor, and is passionate about life. if hes a looker thats good but it really doesnt matter as much as many people think it does. i think a womans age has ALOT to do with her preferences. the older she gets, the less important looks are. im 30 and i know when i was in my early 20's looks were everything. now i realize how stupid i was. i could have met a great guy that maybe wasnt as hot as the ones i was going after, and i wouldnt have even known it till it was too late.

OH HELL YES I'M ABOUT TO GET ON THE DEFENSIVE! Hell with this questions! Why Girls? No sweetie MEN! HOW IMPORTANT ARE THEIR LOOKS? All these damn monsters walking down the street, driving beautiful cars and they look like something from Crypt! I know I'm fine! I'm fine on the outside and the inside! On a scale from 1 - 10 I'm a damn 100! No brag, just facts! What about you? You damn men think that women should look a certain way. Yes she can be beautiful on the outside and have diseases running out her a*s because she's been with so many men! So you think it's about looks huh? Well I hope you find someone that makes you drool all over yourself. Just to find out later that you *ick is going to fall off because you wanted her so bad you didn't want to rap it up! Looks are nice but morals, dignity and pride are better! Sorry I got so emotional! I'm good now! LOL!

You're gonna get alot of people telling you it's what's on the inside that counts and that is true.....as long as you do have some kind of physical attraction at first, enough to wanna hang out and get to know that person....and the more you get to know a really great guy, no matter if he's not gorgeous by others standards, he becomes more and more attractive. I'm not vain or shallow, I really seek out the good in people and look for more personality, sense of humor and charm...My husband often gets asked by coworkers, friends, acquaintances how the heck he wound up with me? I don't see myself as any better looking than he, but lots of people do....even his family jokingly and lovingly tease him about how he got such a beautiful wife with his looks, lol...He takes it well, he knows they're just messin around....he's a really great guy...no Brad Pitt, but I aint complainin' by no means...I love every inch of him. Had he been an @$$hole, controlling or arrogant he wouldn't be attractive to me if he did look like Brad Pitt......The outside also fades, but the person you are inside remains.

I think it really depends on the girl. Some girls will date guys who treat them like **** just because their cute and vice verse. I've seen many a guys with girls who are hott but are complete b*****s. I agree with beerbohms and the chick that said she would rather have a guy who "acted his age not his shoe size" then a good looking guy. If your looking to be in a realtionship for the long run you have to know looks fade. To me, it's more important that a guy be honest, dependable, and faithful then to be good looking

Yes, they are important; however, they aren't the most important. I look for someone who is confident, self-reliant, and has a great sense of humor over someone who is drop dead gorgeous. I once dated a man that was 250 pounds. He was, at the time, just an oversize teddy bear with a warm heart. :)

Sure personality and good humor and good manners are very important but still, the guy has to be pleasant enough to look at, remember, he will be the first thing you see when you open your eyes in the morning :-)

Initially, everything is about looks. Anyone who tells you it's just about personality is lying. You don't know what a person's personality is when you say hello. So first thing's first: I'm checking out your eyes, your smile, your gear, your hands (one, for neatness, and two for the wedding band), and your body before I even consider speaking to you. All the other stuff comes into play later.

They matter to a certain extent. You have to be somewhat physically attracted to someone for them to grab your attention, initially. Good thing about this is the fact that everyone has different taste.
BUT, to actually date someone, I have to be attracted to the personality more than the looks. They have to make me laugh...and hold a conversation.

Attraction first normally. However, some can get more attractive by personality. Im sure thats probably the norm for everyone including guys.

Yes and no. Yes because that's what attracts you to the individual in the first place. No because looks can come and go but who you are inside is what really matters to me because that's what really counts and it never comes and goes.
