Does looks matter much to you?

    I have to be physically attracted to a lover. I've found that if a man has a good personality, he becomes even more attractive. There have been few men I would reject because of appearance, though I have to admit jacked-up teeth are a turnoff and poor personal hygiene is a deal breaker.

    Looks don't matter for friends, but they have to be good people.

    Well I'll go ahead.

    Looks are very important to me.

    That said, I am attracted to so many people! Life around me is very lovely and beautiful.
    Beauty is inherent in most people. There is always SOMETHING you can find about them that is admirable.
    Ok, most of the time.


    But definitely when the beauty is attached to a lovely soul-----oh my goodness!!!!! What a combo!!!!


    But back to the ugly people. Most of them even have some physical qualities that are beautiful. You just have to look at them with an appreciative heart.

    I would lie if I said I don't notice outside beauty. After all when you see a rose you don't judge her by her potential but by how she looks but as you get closer to her you start seeing even more meaning in her than you ever thought possible and you get completely infatuated. So this later effect ultimately becomes even stronger than the first attraction. But no one can deny laws of physical attraction, they are so often the first stepping stone.

    Not really.

    Yes they are important to a certain extent but you have to look at the inner beauty as well.

    Its nice to have a pretty/handsome person hanging off your arm when you are younger but don't forget if you are planning to be with this person for the rest of your life that they wil not always look like that later in life.

    My biggest clique is that i love men with long hair but i ended up with a wonderful guy who has been bald since he was 16 years old.

    I just look at it well i know what he will look like later on in life with no hair.

    I honestly don't see it.

    It matters only in how much a person appeals to me. I seem to see people as attractive until they give me reason to think otherwise, unless they smell bad or are rude at the onset of my aquaintance with them.

    Maybe its because I am not beautiful, maybe its because I am willing to like people and assume the best. I do have things that I think make a person look more attractive.

    I like red hair. Eyes can attract or repel me. I like warm people-cold ones (personality wise) or arrogance turns me off big time. Some people are gorgeous to almost everyone-and to me too, but usually people just look fine to me until I know them. Then they get very attractive or very unattractive-and it has little to do with their outward appearance.

    When it comes to living with someone looks don't factor in too much for me. I know several moderately chunky women that have the most delightful easy going personalities you could imagine. They understand men and our quirks and always see the humor in it. They would be so easy to share a life with compared to a high maintenance, whinny, unstable, psycho attention tramp. They have depth, maturity, experience and are nurturers of our souls.

    Eye candy might taste good but that does not mean it's good for you.
