people say substance matters more than surface but...?

Question

We hear that people saying looks shouldn't be matter or should be the least of concern when it comes to attracting the opposite sex. Yet, we see in today's society that we value surface of a person more than the substance or personalities. Some examples are hollywood where majority of the actors and actresses are comprised of "above average" looking people. We have polls like who's the sexiest male or females. The impact of media is huge on ordinary people where many women go through plastic surgery to attain the "celebrity looks". We can not deny the fact that we as human beings are obsessed with aesthetic. Even when someone says, " Looks is not a deciding factor for me when it comes to going out with someone." This is a bs. Would that person go out with someone with good looks and incredibly attractive personality or the ugly counterpart? And to conclude my argument, I belive that in today's society, surface has become more than eye-pleasing but something of a value. Your opinion?

Answer 1

Do you find some people become better looking the more you know them and vice versa? Often, one bewitching feature is all it takes to form that physical attraction, the rest maintains it. We've all met that hottie who became ugly as soon as she spoke, and the ugly duckling who grew on you because of her personality. The truely clever figure these things out, because if you are in it for the long haul, you only get 10 years of beauty anyway.

Answer 2

I have never followed anyone . I am my own person with my own beliefs,
likes and dislikes . I look for what a man stands for , not what he looks like .

Answer 3

You're right. Just look at the divorce rate in this country!
