rasgumby: Sorry but I think a lot of the above is bull. Do anyone of you really see a totally ugly person and just by a glance think to yourself.. damn, I would love to get to know them much better???
A physical attraction is usually the start to get one thinking about maybe more.
However... there are matches for everyone.
But not JUST based on looks,, it is a total package deal!
but get real.. looks do matter.
well I have to disagree with you there, I see people for who they are the moment I look at them, and what is attractive to me is a good personality and intelligence. you should see some of the guys I've dated, i don't think there is even one that would be considered physically attractive in the whole lot. But not one of them had a mean bone in their body either. ... so I guess I'm doing ok.... now if i could just get away from the momma's boys.
I don't think looks are all that important, they help don't get me wrong a little eye candy never hurt anyone, but if you click personality wise then I reckon thats about 70 or 80 % of it!!

Knill: I believe looks dont matter to find a good relationship... anyone agree/disagree??
It depends...... on how one embarks upon that relationship in the first place.
If its "eyes meeting across a crowded room" scenario, then looks will play a part in the initial attraction, yes. If one becomes friends, or at least gets to know someone first and its clear there is a connection, then often one can look beyond whether they are conventionally "good looking"..... or not??
So does age, location and personal preferences.....
Why do you think eHarmony has that killer questionnaire?
HI Joanie You betcha looks matteralong with age. occupation, education level, interests and hobbies, yada yada yada It has to do with an individuals process of selecting a mate Based on compatibility and physical attraction For some.. intellegence might rank #1 on there list another person it may be there physical appearance or another may be attracted to a individual displaying a combination attributes of a pleasant personality, common interests, intellegence, financially secure and looks What I may consider beautiful in a women may be different form another man and I can tell you it is not just about looks there is more to a person than that outer shell

I'd be lying if I said looks don't matter. But, I will say that since I've gotten older that they don't matter as much. I think a person needs to be attracted somewhat to the person or they won't even give them a second thought. JMO
