Do looks matter in a relationship?

[Natalia Kills]

what do you guys think?

I feel like my friends and family constantly judge who I date regarding their looks

but I'm not the type to date based on that. I focus strickly on the personality and mental attraction.

For me, looks do matter in a relationship. I'm not extremely shallow where the guy has to be drop dead gorgeous, but they have to appeal to me on first look. Although, once you've gotten to know one another, I find the physical attraction barrier comes down and you're more focused on other qualities.

I think it definitely matters a bit, but is no where near the first thing you should look for. Plus, you can always discover someone's beauty later you know? Someone who's beautiful at first may turn out to be the ugliest person you've ever met and someone you didn't think you'd give a second look to could become your entire world.

not really

I mean I don't wanna live with a beautiful girl but a lame personality

[Charlie91xo]

Absolutely.

There has to be some physical attraction there.

Basically this tbh. There's been so many situations where I haven't found people that attractive until I've gotten to know them, and then I've found then super cute. I think looks are important, but looks are subjective and what you find attractive is super variable depending on personality.

Looks matter, but inner beauty is also important.

For me, the attraction is just a hook. It's not really make or break. The personality def is.

Relationships aren't entirely based around fucking tho...

They're a big part though. If you're not sexually attracted to somebody then you're screwed 

[Tweener]

Sure looks do matter! It all comes down to whether you are sexually attracted to the other person or not. But on the other hand it all depends on your taste and how high are the standards you set I guess

They matter but then comes the person you fall in love with and all of your ideal looks go straight to hell
