How Much does Looks really matter? and be real people?

Question

Now I'm a not Picky dude, but l if your not attracted to a person physically i dont think it could work for some peope

but i do respect people who dont care about looks, because i couldnt do it, maybe as i get older, that will change, but
right now it means alot to me.

Now a pretty girl with a F'd up personality or Drug Habit becomes ugly to me

what yall think?

Answer 1

I dont care what anybody says....looks matter 100%. The good thing is that people all have different taste.

Answer 2

You have to be attracted to the other person. Part of that attraction is looks- but I think it’s just because that is what is the most obvious. Your perception of that person alters when you get to know that person. The way they are inside starts to show and the entire person looks different. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But human nature is that it is easier if you already have an intense attraction for someone because of their looks. Sometimes that attraction is so strong that it takes you a long time to realize the faults and shortcomings. There’s a lot of beautiful and handsome people out there who are not attractive!

Answer 3

One of my old Navy buddies once had a quote for me when I told him that looks shouldnt be so important: "If looks werent important, we'd all be blind"

Now why I dont agree with that extreme, it was funny and does shed some light on why we are so image conscious, especially in current society.....
Like one of the other users posted, looks matter 100% because it's the 1st sense that grabs your attention in the 1st place to lead to attraction and so on and any one that thinks it doesnt matter at all is probably blind or just kidding themselves.....
Now as the relationship progresses you may start to build on the initial physical attraction but it never goes away, you tastes just change and you realize there's more than just looks but that doesnt make it any less important

Answer 4

Unfortunately, in this day and age, looks are VERY important. But you've got to ask yourself this; are you worried about how YOU look to other people, or how they look to you? The world would be a much better place if we all judged each other by personality, intelligence, and honesty. But until everyone figures out that you have to get beyond the body style or the color of your hair and skin, looks will always win out. Some of the ugliest people in the world, have the best hearts and minds, and are far more faithful to a relationship than the ones who rely on their looks to get them by.

Answer 5

Its true what they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We all have different opinions of what is pretty, beautiful, cute, or attractive. You also have to look at the fact that what we categorize as beautiful was pushed upond us by society as we grew up. Just think in some cultures they tattoo themselves and gage their body parts and to them that is beautiful. I also think that if you were to be around someone that wasn't by your definition pretty and you really enjoyed that persons personality and they made you feel good emotionally, then I think that you would start to find things that are appealing to you with that person. What I'm saying the more you are around this person and the more you find you enjoy them as a person the more you subconsciously start to find them more attractive.

Answer 6

Well looks are the first thing you see and become attracted to or repulsed by. I am big on looks as well but can tell you that in the past I have been completely turned off by bad personality (really good looks) and have actually gone out with so-so looks but a great personality. Too bad you can’t find good looks and a great personality in one!

Answer 7

I think that you do have to be physically attracted to someone before being with them. but different people are attracted to different things. personally, im not into the guys who are in the gym constantly.. i dont like a lot of muscles. i prefer big guys. so, its just personal preference i guess. but yes, as you get older, maturity sets in and you realize that the person you want to be with forever isn't always going to look the same. as the years go on their hair will be gray and wrinkles will set in. love is what matters, not looks.

Answer 8

I didn't marry my husband for his looks or $$. He isn't ugly by any means but he isn't a pretty boy either. I was attracted to his demeanor and personality. I liked his outlook on life and how he problem solved. I liked his confidence and his hobbies. He is a pretty cool guy!
I would not have been attracted to him if he wasn't appealing physically in some ways to me though, just to keep this honest!

Answer 9

OK I agree with you. You can be the most beautiful girl and have a bad personality and that makes you ugly.I think there has to be some physical attraction. I think personality is key too. If they have a good personality that usually makes them beautiful and you can put all other things aside.

Answer 10

I'm a guy, and here's what I look for in a girl:

1. A pretty face (75% of first impression, 10% of overall)
2. A nice a** (15% of first impression, 10% of overall)
3. Nice rest of body (5% of first impression, 5% of overall)
4. A great personality (5% of first impression, 75% of overall)

Notice there are two categories: first impression (short run) and overall (long run).

Obviously, this is just an approximation I came up with. Personality includes: non-smoker, caring, honest, fun-loving, intelligent, and down-to-earth

Answer 11

I think some looks do matter also. But if I see this hot dude and he does certain drugs then I consider him ugly to me. I don't care if a dude does weed but drugs like cocaine and meth I can't handle a guy that does that. But when I look for a guy part of what I look for is looks..
