Do looks matter?

[8Freak8]

Well, do they? Have you ever fancied someone who doesn't exactly look good (or looks worse than you)?

The reason I ask is because at the moment I really like this girl who is really different to the sort of girls I normally like. She isn't ugly but she's not exactly great.

And don't be scared of being branded "shallow" :p

[NIKKEE]

OOOH!
Good topic.
Um, no I don't really go for looks, I could never go out with someone who is just good looking with a bad personality.
But I don't even need to worry about this cause i've got someone who is hot and has a great personality.
And have I ever fancied someone who looks worse than me?
Dude... Everyone looks worse than me :rolleyes:
Nah, I don't actually think about if they're too good looking or too ugly for me lol

But you should ask her out, if she's not ugly then what's the problem?
Has she got a good personality aswell?
If so, then lucky you!

Let's be honest, no-one's as good looking as me *cheesy smile*

Ok but in truth, you're not going to go out with someone who you think is a *****r. You can say how personality does it for you mostly, and I guess it does, but think about it:

Good looks, no personality = A bed for a night
Good personality, ugly = A great friend

You need both really. Even if they aren't the prettiest thing you've ever set eyes on, you just wouldn't be able to be with someone that you don't find attractive.

They don't matter, it's whats inside that really counts.

You could have supermodle material but she could be as thick as wood and not have a personality.

Or, you could have a not so attractive friend and she could be great, by caring for you or making you laugh x]

It just depends on you, if you dont mind that shes not the prettiest girl youve seen then go for it

True enough, but could you really be completely involved with someone that you don't find attractive? Friends, yes, but lovers? This is being realistic, not shallow, but you can't perform properly and won't enjoy it if you don't find them aesthetically pleasing.

Umm.

I personally don't go for looks - but I TEND to notice that you can get a really nice, caring person that is not attractive and usually they don't have a bf/gf, sorry to sound shallow.
You get those people who say 'It's what inside that counts' and they've probably got a nice gf/bf that isn't attractive but not ugly.
In my view; I've noticed that there are nice people who aren't good-looking at all that don't have one, and people are shallow enough to just walk them by. They're people, too.
So, while I would like to say that I don't give a damn about who people are on the outside - a lot of people think 'not a troll, nice personality' is cool for them, they'd never have 'troll, nice personality' and that for me just isn't good enough.
Anyway; if you like her, go for her.

I'll rephrase my point with questions:

Would you go to bed with an absolute monster?

If you did, would you really enjoy it as much as you might with someone you found better looking?

Would you really be happy in a relationship knowing that you could do better?

[Sabu]

It all depends on what kind of person you are:

If you are a girl/boy who loves fashion, yes, they do.
If you are a person who doesn't hang round with good looking people, popular people etc, then they don't

Im a bit of both, but my girlfriend is quiet ugly, though I adore her. She hasn't done a bad thing in her life =)
