What percentage of attraction would you say is attributed to looks?

[Lean L]

Well?

I personally think it's probably in the realm of 5-10% for a working relationship... but having the initial 5-10% gets you in the door. If you don't have it, it's harder to initiate.

So you'd be fine with a chick who started out hot, but then put on 300 pounds after you got married?

I completely agree initially it's important, after that it's all about the personality.

Out of curiousity, is this a male or female perspective?

edit: I am gonna guess female, or a very naive male.

I'm male and I agree with guy...?

Can you elaborate on this?

My question is posed as looks of a man to a woman.

100%...

You're asking about *attraction*, which only comes from the physical (even if that physical translates into psychological - aka mommy or daddy complexes etc).

 

[deanx0r]

I was asking for your gender.

Male. Why is this naiive?

 

[DesiPower]

you mean the look of the face?

Don't you find personality attractive too though? Like... Confidence is attractive or a sense of humour is attractive...

Women's face is huge for me, if it's ridden with pimples, that's a turn off
Then T&A
Finally, does she swallow?

Fuck no, that's just made up shit by the media.

Humor might help the two of you to hit it off better, but it isn't going to make me want to have sex. Unless you like fucking clowns or something.

Confidence is part of your appearance - body language. It's irrelevant for attraction unless it actually gets in the way.

Really? Wow. So you are equally attracted to someone who is a moron, but physically attractive, as someone who is really awesome, and physically attractive?

Personality can definitely make me NOT want to have sex with a woman though.

Yep, how smart you are has no bearing on how hot you are. This is especially true for girls, and yes, for guys as well.

 

[Kabob]

It depends on the stage of the relationship. Very early on it's going to be a much higher percentage than after you've been with someone for a while.

True, just tell them just stop talking and it'll help. :thumbsup:

Wow... No offence but that seems really shallow.

I feel completely opposite, someone can be physically unattractive but really attractive via personality.

I'll high-five you bro.

People shouldn't confuse love with getting the stank on your hang-down.

 

[darkxshade]

Innit it a sliding scale? The &#37; can change depending an individual basis... someone who is smart(boobs or otherwise) for example can make up for areas that are lacking(although it probably can't replace it entirely).

No, it isn't shallow, it's reproductive desire. Sex is physical attraction. When you jerk off to porn, you jerk off to the face and the body, you don't jerk off to a smart and funny person.

If you are looking for love and relationships, sex is only a part of the equation (sometimes far less important).
