As a guy please allow me to answer for all the ladies. I believe that for most women looks matter a whole lot.

You are going to get hundreds of different answers here so I thought hey, why not add mine?
I would say for most women looks don't matter in a guy that is in the "friend" category, but there has to be some kind of attraction if you are talking romance here. Of course the attraction could be an attraction to their intellect...roflmao, but I would say the majority of women would have to have an attraction to a man based on some portion of a man's looks or body to want to get close enough to them to get to know them. Jeese, they would have to get to know them to be attracted to their intellect...and something had to draw them near the man to get to know them so that something must be either their looks or personality.
What all of this bs is boiling down to is women do a lot of chain yanking until they get to know the man as a person. Then it could go either way. There are some very nice looking men out there that are a complete waste of space and some not so nice looking men out there who have a wonderful personality that really attracts women.
Last but not least...who really knows how the mind of a woman works???
be cool...

I've spoken about this with my girlfriends and its pretty much true. The biggest turn on for a girl (atleast amongst my girlfriends) is a man who has status and talant - whether its because he's well respected and liked amongst friends, colleagues or family - or all of the above. Somehow, its a turn on and it really does not matter what he looks like, how old he is etc...
Good looking guys are nice in a fun kind of way - like a toy, but they do not play the strings of a woman's heart like a man who a woman can admire, respect and look up to.
I think that men are the opposite and they are really drawn to beautiful women... which is why a man can be attracted to a female before he's even had a conversation with her! I think for women, appearance simply is not the primary turn on.

Well, some girls are shallow and some girls are not. It really all depends on the girl. I know that for me, and all the girls I've ever met, looks don't matter that much. But I mean, if a guy is "ugly" because he has horrible personal hygeine, then obviously looks matter then. We just want our guys to shower everyday, change & wash their clothes, wash their faces, use deoderant, ect..
Normally, I'll be attracted to a guy by his looks at first. And I have a very broaaad range of what I think is attractive. My friends have always told me that I date under my looks. It's not that I do it on purpose, but I always find that the dorky or maybe not as hott as the football player guys are MUCH sweeter. Overall, a girl wants a guy that is going to treat her right. Even if he is the hottest guy on the planet, if he doesn't treat her right, it's not going to last. We just want the guy that's going to go out of his way to be nice us, the one that calls us every night, and the one that thinks of us as the most beautiful girl in the world. Not the guy that could care less. If that means settling for a less attractive man, we're going to do it.
But I'm not going to lie, looks are important, if WE (and I mean our own personal opinions on what we think is attractive) don't think that a guy is attractive, then chances are there isn't going to be any attraction there. It just depends on what a girl thinks attractive is.
I hope I helped.

Of all the guys I've liked in my life, only 2 were good looking IMO. I am drawn to who he is. In that, they begin to be attractive. Character creates beauty. I very much believe that.
Looks are fleeting. I would never base a marriage on looks. I think of them more as icing on the cake so to speak. I think that there can be a repulsion to a guy's looks if he is deformed, obese, or has bad acne, or things like that. It's unfortunate, but we are human. But even these things can be overcome if a guy is a great person, and a girl is not too judgemental. You see it all the time. Beauty and the Beast like stories. Women who marry a man in a wheelchair....

I really mean it. There is more to a person than looks. What matters to me is if they are kind, caring, compassionate, have a good sense of humor, and carry an intelligent conversation. If they have that everything else just comes together. Plus having all those qualities makes you a beautiful person inside and out

Looks are important at first. It's what attracts us to others. Most times it's the personalities that repel us. As you get older, looks aren't as important. You look for compatibility. Beauty is only skin deep. A nice balance is what most of us go for. Someone who shares similar interests and whom you have fun with. Do you think you'll worry about how good looking someone is when you're 60?

Don't listen to a girl who says looks don't matter....I mean if you know the guy for a long time and stuff then maybe the looks don't matter but at first glance your going to be attracted to the hot guy not the other guy....But in all personality is more important to us and the inside and blah,blah,blah...lol...but looks DO matter...

i really mean it. i came across a few handsome ''almost my boyfriend'' but cause they were so handsome they care more about look and all the shallow things.
my boyfriend of whom im going out with is someone i would never would consider if i was in my high school years. he dont have the hair or the teeth of a model but his heart oh my goodness, everythingelse in this world or his looks doest not matters to me. he was able to touch my heart that no other handsome guys ever did. that day on he is the most gorgeous guy ever and now i never look at a person from their looks. i love to talk to people and see who they are truly from deep inside. exterior is seriously nothing compared to a person with full heart and love.

alright my honest answer is that looks are not everything, out of 10 i would probably give them a 3, but a very important factor for me is that the guy should have a great sense of humor and should know how to carry himself !! If a guy has the right style and the right attitude, then seriously looks dont matter !!

Of course looks matter.
When you first meet a person, you don`t see their personality.
You see their face: their flaws, their imperfections; everything good and bad about their features.
Anyone who says that looks don`t matter is a liar!
Looks may not be the most important thing, but no one is going to be more than friends with someone who they don`t find attractive, but has a great personality.
