When it comes down to a relationship, does looks really matter?

What do you guys/girls think? For me, looks isn't everything. It's all about the inside and how we are able to connect. Also trust, honesty, and just commonality are also factors. I guess as one grows older, the look factor disappears and it's not so much infatuation anymore as it is true love. Perhaps... :heart:

Don't get me wrong, connection is key to a successful relationship. As are personallity, communication, common likes and dislikes, etc. The list goes on. But for me, looks are on that list. I have a good looking SO, and I wouldn't change it! ;)

EDIT: As to the ":camera:'s?" that will inevitably come up...NO! :D

while looks are not the only thing... they are important.

there has to be some attraction there. i cannot imagine looking at someone in bed and thinking... "well, at least he is a nice guy"

there has to be an attraction.

I think you need to be seriously attracted to the person but true love that is returned will cover multitudes of imperfections.

when it comes to something like this, its all relative. what you think is beauty may not be beauty to someone else. my girlfriend is kind, loving, fun to be with. and i think she is the most beautiful woman i have ever seen. but maybe to someone else she isn't.

Yeah, I guess so. I'm not in a relationship right now.. I have been just pondering some philosophical moments and asking people here on AT. Haha.

Thats bs. If I find you the ugliest girl in the world, would you date her? :p Looks matter for initial attraction.

Indeed.

As long as I find them attractive I am happy :thumbsup:. I don't care what other people think of her. If they think of her as ugly then I really don't care. If I'm attracted to her that is all that matters :cool:

QFT. Looks always matter. Anyone who says otherwise is ugly. :D

It's not because we're shallow assholes, it's part of our evolutionary design (men and women bot).
