How important is a guy's looks to women? Women always downplay it, but in reality, it's very important to them

Answer 1

Somewhat - good looks can open doors, but good character is what keeps you inside.

I have met men that I didn't find very attractive at first, but as I got to know them better, I saw more in them and they became more attractive to me.

Keep in mind that within society, some people are more superficial than others, so it's impossible to proved one answer for ALL women.

Answer 2

I believe that looks play a very important part in the initial meeting between peopl;e - afterall, you have to have something that is attractive to you. You can't see their personality or kindness at first. But, I have learned that if I am interested in someone, I will observe them from a distance. You'd be surprised that if you take a little time to observe, you can find a lot of things out about a person - little things that you might not pick up at first because people will always show you their good side.....and once you are in deep ....the devil comes out. (smile) Looks are important, but I appreciate a man who is clean, dresses well, carries himself well, holds his head up, looks people in the eye, has a firm handshake and a smile and SMELLS GOOD. The rest I can work with .......Looks are deceiving also. Women can alter theirs in many ways, but unfortunately, there is not too much a man can do - but well grooming is always a key. Clean nails, hair cut - that's important. My mom used to say that you can tell how a person treats himself by looking at his shoes. Think about it......

Answer 3

its the 1st thing we notice..thats why crushes are born etc but u cant fall in love with someone based on their looks...its the personality that counts...someone can be absolutely gorgeous but have a nasty personality or act like a jerk and that can really turn someone off and automatically the person isnt attractive anymore, even their looks kinda fade in the other persons eyes...on the other hand lets say there is a guy less attractive but is a sweetheart..that just adds points and draws others towards him, cauz no one wants to be treated as trash and personality is chosen above physical appearance.

Answer 4

It's definitely important. A guy's looks matter to women just as much as a woman's looks matter to men. By this I don't mean the guy has to be conventionally handsome, but he definitely has to meet the woman's standards of physical attraction. But then again, you never know.

Answer 5

It kinda depends on how shallow the girl is. To me personality and having things in common rate higher. But looks are after those. You also have to remember that it depends what a girls tastes run too. It just like men. Men have certain types they like... Well, so do women. For every man there is plenty of women out there that would consider them her type... weather it be nerds, musclar, long haired, goth... you name it.

Answer 6

OK, here's the real truth: For me, it's 60% personality, 40% looks. If I like his personality, he instantly becomes more physically attractive for some reason.

Answer 7

it is important to have chemistry and feel that attraction--it is NOT the most important thing though
if i could have a really hot boyfriend or a sweet boyfriend who was a good person--guess who id choose--the sweet one

Answer 8

Some other things are much more important.

Answer 9

Personally, I much prefer personality over looks. (I know it's cliched, but it's true!). Sure, a guy who's hot will catch a girl's eye, but their personality will keep them.
