Men: is it important to you that your wife/gf/partner look good?

To the men, I want honest answers if possible. This is my opinion about it; I notice that men look at the physical appearance of a woman first when going into relationship. Maybe some don't have a good-looking partner, that's because they can't have one since they are average looking and they can't choose, right. But most of the time, it's just that way. I have seen some average looking man with a really beautiful wife, but never seen an average looking woman with a very handsome husband. What's your take?

Well, talk about relationships, for me is not very easy. This is because I, despite my ripe old age of almost 38 years, I have never been involved in a romantic relationship. However, just to answer your question, I think it happens that an average man looking for a beautiful woman and never the other way, for the simple reason that for women, there is more choice for a companion for life. This, however, is the fruit of my point of view.

Hi! Just want to ask what country are you from? You said that women have more choice of companion in life. Is that the situation in your place? Because here in my country, there are many single women than men, so there's not much of a choice for them. And how come you have never been to a romantic relationship? Have you not met a woman who swept you off your feet just yet?

Well, I guess you're right about your decision. It's better not committed at all than marry a woman, then leave her all day at home because of your time constraints with your job. You're a very considerate person.

Well, the other questions at the moment I do not have a ready answer. However, the reason why I have never been involved in a romantic relationship, it is a lifestyle choice. I prefer now live with my family. In the future, perhaps alone and independently (as far as I can). Thanks to have shared

Only a few women care much about how handsome a man is, most women are concerned with other things. Infact, I would not like to date a man who looks very handsome and I careless whether my man is handsome or not. I just like men who look like real men.

Yes, you are right, we women don't really care much about the men's looks. It's actually the men's opinion I'm looking for. I wish men would answer my question honestly! :)

Yes that is true , average man gets a beautiful wife ! I can give an example of that , my cousins , they are 4 men in the family and yes not good looking even can't underestimate them GRRRRR having a very beautiful wives . Some good looking men really envied them and asking how they were able to win those beautiful gals. See how amazing love and life is.. ? But in the average looking woman having handsome man , I have seen many in our places just that these woman are but rich and famous in the community. I don't know if man are only for some interest of its really for love ! Only them knows , better let them live and pray that they will stick around for life.

Hello Angelpink, where are you from? I guess it's different there in your place. I'm from the Philippines, and like I said, I've only met few good looking men who are married to average or not really good looking women. You're cousins are lucky to have such beautiful wives, I guess they have great personalities that made these women fall for them, and that only proved that women don't really look at the outside appearance!

I can tell you only about mine not others.What I think is that a man is always attracted by a good looking girl,he is just atyracted by looks and that makes him talk too with her and move towards her otherwise one would not bother about anything.I get attracted by the beauty only and with a good body and get up too.Now that was for unknown if anyone known is there then thay will depend on how much iam enchanted with her.So its beauty i will go with.

I really think that looking good for your partner is important and when you're already married, i think it is a responsibility. I'm not saying you have to look good like a supermodel or a mr Universe, but at least have an effort to look presentable for your partner especially when you're already married and when looking gorgeous is not as simple as when you two we're still dating. It adds life to your relationship when your partner will appreciate you coz you smell good and yeah you look good..

Hi heleigna! You are right, but I was looking for a man's perspective. I guess there were not many men out here to honestly answer my query. Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it!

You are right. I guess only a few average looking women have a good-looking husband. Though sometimes appearance is not important to some people. Some loves to have a wife that is good in cooking. Some loves to have a witty wife. Some loves to have a rich wife. LOL. I sometimes see average women dating handsome men. They are lucky if they could keep them for lifetime. Anyway, we are all beautiful and handsome to our partners' eyes. Right?

In marriages beauty is not important though it is a part of it, yes many handsome men have wife that may look ugly to others, same is true for women, what is important is one should have the inner beauty. thanks for discussion.
