Do looks matter?

[West Floradia]

Well, do they? I have a few questions.

Maybe it's a good thing to not judge people by looks in everyday life. After all, color of skin, clothes, etc. etc. etc. blah blah blah. But, clothes can say quite a bit about a person, as could their hairstyle or makeup, so would it be safe to judge?

And what about dating? Should looks matter then? I think looks are pretty important. It's shallow to date a person solely on their looks (*lusts after Taylor Lautner anyway*) but looks do start things for me, at least. What about you?

Inspired by the Sexiest Female NSer thread.

[Ifreann]

In some respects, yes.

[Maurepas]

Looks matter to an extent, only in the sense that I need to be initially attracted...but, what body shapes, styles, etc., Im attracted to are far from set in stone, and after that its all about personality...

[Getbrett]

I refrain from associating with people who would be considered "ugly". I do not have fat friends, for example.

[Sun Aut Ex]

It's important that the person be physically attractive; that said, I find most girls to at least be "basically attractive".

[Woolio]

I refrain from associating with people who would be considered "ugly". I do not have fat friends, for example.

Any particular reason?

I do not care about people at their core. Personality means nothing to me.

[Alsatian Knights]

Being skinny, fat people stay away from me, I'm attracted to the girls that are shorter than me and weigh less than I do believe me there are chicks out there that are lighter than 130lbs, that aren't under age, they also have to melt at my smile.

I agree. Actually, you can judge a person quite by their looks. Acne and raggidy hair point out that they don't take care of their body the way they should. An "ugly" face however, is just natural. Not their fault. I tend to base things on personality, but looks usually relate to personality, in a way.

But wouldnt that be the only factor on an Internet Forum?


Oh, wait, good point,

Whats wrong with raggidy hair?

Sure. If I went to my GPs and found a guy with dreadlocks, tangled facial hair and wearing a bikini, i'd be pretty concerned about how serious he is in his profession.

Looks are one of a number of important factors in dating. They can't be taken in isolation but to ignore them is ridiculous

[Fredrikshamn]

Um yes they do... its natures way of thinning the weakest from the rest of the strongest...

[Rhodmhire]

To an extent.

That doesn't mean I submit to the perspectives and ideologies of sooociiiety, those of which are hyperbolic of the standards laid by common normality, but in all honesty I want to wake up to someone who I actually enjoy looking at: thus, living with someone for years on end I actually enjoy looking at, if we were to ever get that serious with each other.

It's probably the third or fourth major factor contributing in my decision(s) as to who I want to love, date, marry, etc.

[Rhodmhire]

Fixed to fit your definition.

So basically you submit to sooociiiety?

I can't take the chances of assuming the feasibility that I've read you incorrectly, therefore, you must be eradicated immediately, in that case.

Like?

You should be reluctant to go as far as to touch him: from what I read, he submits to sooociiiety.

He's a great, prominent enemy of ours--assuming you too have submitted to the Internet.

If you must insist on posting your incessant drivel, you could at least concatenate it into one post.

[EvilDarkMagicians]

It does to me.
To me if they 'keep up' their looks it may also shows they have a 'tidy' personality too.

[Rhodmhire]

You only insist it is such because you know you are commanded to fight against it.

Remind me. What's sooociiety?

The result of immense decay in a functioning society, in its simplest form.

[Woolio]

It does to me.

or they aren't working their asses off all day.

Meh, I wouldnt want an overly tidy person, that would just get on the nerves...

What are you suggesting by this?
