Well that's not what he mean?
Taking pride in your looks is fine?
I'm a guy and i do it.
It's just a personality what really matters.
you could be the prettiest girl in a bar, but if you didn't have a nice personality i would much rather go talk to an other girl who did, who wasn't as pretty as you.

This is something else, I was thinking about this same question going to a job interview yesterday.
I'm a firm believer of being a good person, treating people the way I'd like to be treated, and being attracted to someone based on personality - all that good stuff. I'm starting to finally accept the fact that: The world is an incredibly shallow place. Looks are everything. If you go to a job interview, and look the sh*t, people will hire you, no matter what education/ experience you have. If you are a really good looking chick or dude, people will like you and do things for you, no matter how big an assshole you are.
It's really sad.

You should take pride in your appearance. That shows the world that you care for and love yourself. But at the same time you need to take pride in the way you treat others, and by striving to be better in always not just today but everyday.
And you will even feel more pride in yourself through your accomplishments as well as your appearance.

You should take care of yourself, and take pride in your appearance, but your inner qualities still shine through and attract people even on your bad days.
If you looked your best 100% of the time, but had a horrible or better then you attitude, chances are a guy may come over to you for the wrong reasons.

There are two great myths: That money isn't everything, and that looks aren't everything. Unfortunately, if you have health and live in a free nation, money IS everything (almost). As for looks, they are also everything.
Good looking people have better experiences at almost everything in life -- provided the attitudes and emotional factors are all equal.
So if you were born with the gift of good looks, you do have a whole lot going for you. Personally, I see nothing wrong with you trying hard to look even better. Forget the jealous ones. Just do what you have to for great looks.

Looks are important for the initial attraction so keeping yourself well groomed is smart. But in the end it is about the personality and whats inside that counts. It is true, you don't look at someone and see what is in the inside. But after a year together and they are treating you like utter crap you don't want to stay in a relationship just because they are good looking. Unless you are stupid.

wanting to look your best and making your appearance the most important thing about you are two totally different things. a guy may think that youre hott and walk up to you and start a conversation, but if you dont have the rest of the package he isnt going to stick around. looking your best is great, it gives you a ton of self-confidence and makes you happy, but in a relationship, it is the inside that counts the most. physical attraction should be there, yes, but a lot more needs to connect if it is going to last.

No, that's not bad...i agree with everyone..there's nothing wrong with it, but it's not the only thing that matters...maybe to a guy who the only thing that matters to him is having sex w/ you.
A person will only hang around if you are interesting to them...it's weird b/c you never know what is more important to a person and how much..there are so many other things to be factored in as well. Just know that it's not all about your looks, but it doesn't hurt to have a kept appearance - actually it's a plus...just don't be vain/shallow with it.

It is ok to take pride in the way you look but counting on your looks to make you look like the person you imagine yourself to be won't work, as you get older looks fade and if that person that you are looking to be with doesn't have something on the inside, then it will be pointless to be with them.

That is true but if your a ***** then he might then decided he was mistaken and take off. It isn't all personality and it isn't all looks.
