It has a part in it, but a very tiny one. I usually go for the type that has a great personality, then the looks just grow on me.

Physical appearance to me isn't important anymore. Love is blind. When I was a teenager in highschool looks were important It was what most girls went for "the cutest guy". If you ask my friend I have really bad taste in guys but it doesn't matter to me as long as they treat me good and with respect I'll keep him forever!

Big time yes. I can't see myself kissing or doing someone who wasn'tphysically appealing to me. Their has to be that physical attraction for me

It's not as important as the person inside. We all are young at one time, and if good looking, it will vanish when we get older. So, go for the inner beauty, it never changes.

Physical appearance is not much important to me. What important is what inside. But some people just look outside and judge people so I do dress nice when I go out with my husband so people wont look down on him. I dont have to there are lot of people in my town just talk about you behind your back so I have to be careful.

it really depends,i think first time what attracts you at someone is the looks..and by that i don't mean it has to be a very beautiful person,because beauty is relative,and everyone has different tastes..but the first thing you see at a person if it is your type..and after that you try to know him better,,i also know situations when you can fell in love with somebody after spending some time toghether,and getting to know him very well,and realise that he matches you perfectly..even though you didn't like him at first because he didn't have the looks that u liked...so the answer would be that in general,looks count a lot..but in a relationship never,...on the other hand,a pretty girl finds a partner easier than an ugly girl because not many are willing to know better that ugly girl,since they are not interested in her in the first place..but she will find her soulmate too,and he will love her for who she is,and he will only have eyes for her

When I first met my husband, we had been set up on a blind date. I immediately knew it would go NO WHERE when I saw him because he was tall and skinny & in cowboy boots(very not who he is), but even worse was the way he looked at me as if I was dessert! I remember to this day that I was immediately unattracted to him because of how he looked, and now, 16 years later, I can't find a flaw. He hasn't physically changed much, but my view of him has changed because of his personality. So Yes, physical appearance is important. But personality is what wins out, if you give a person a chance.

Physical appearance has never been important to me. Much more important is how someone treats you and other people. In other words, look inside...not just outside. Beauty is only skin deep.

Physical attraction is part of what I look for but more importantly is a person's personality.

Santimonuous people often bloviate about dismissing the actual importance of physical appearance in relationships. This, I find most intriguing because I often see ugly, dishevelled, unkept people in a solitary state and not lucky enough to enjoy the luxury of romantic relationship. Modern people also fail to recognize the fact that ugliness does in fact have an influence over that person's personality, outlook, and attitude. For example, it may have served as a factor contributing to their lack of self-confidence, which can lead to introversion and a variety of other anti-social behaviors because they can't learn to interact with others since they've withdrawn from others due to the initial lack of confidence. This can also manifest itself as a constant paranoia of "being stared at" and over sensitivity. I could go on but I'm not being compensated adequately for this level of a response.

Looks are not important to me. It's better to have someone who has the same beliefs and morals as you and who treats you right than to worry about looks.
