How important are looks in a relationship?

Hi. I'll too give some emphasis on the looks. I mean when you are with someone and you don't feel like not being with him or her for any reason then it is not good for the relation.

Well I think that true beauty comes from inside. Some people who physically society calls "ugly" are the most beautiful persons inside. When you get to really know that person you find that there are other attractive things about them too. their smile, walk, laughter, eyes or something else. I have grown up used to be called the ugly girl and even in our society men and women calls me that but I never let it affected me because all could not be beautiful and looking the same way. It would be a very boring world. I know without a doubt that I am a beautiful person both inside and out and trust me nobody's opinion of my physical attributes are of any concern to me and I encourage everyone that this should never be. Look I have met very beautiful women, beauty pageants type, who are rotten to the core and I would never like to be associated with them (probably they say the same of me too) and yet there are others of that facial beauty who are genuinely nice. So dont judge anyone by the looks, if you do that you may end up short changing yourself and end up with a bitter ride. See people for who they are. Even better walk to conclusions dont run or jump to them. Take time to know the person you maybe in for a pleasant surprise!

Hi there, well i also consider the looks but i prefer to have good pals with a good manner, good attitude, which i find not irritating. Coz actually, i am getting more intimidate and i find those people who's so rude, feeling superior, it's so irritating to be with those kind of people. Including those, back fighter, liar and full of crap! I don't wanna be with those people even they are good looking or whatever. I still prefer an ogre with good manner. Have a nice day ahead from Kiko and happy posting and earning here in MyLot and Godspeed!

You are right...there has to be a certain amount of attraction...but remember that as you grow to love someone the more beautiful they become to you!

I have to agree with you - there has to be some sort of physical attraction and chemistry as far as I'm concerned, but I definitely find that the more attracted I am and become to someone's personality and character - and their other qualities, the more charisma they have and the more attractive I find them over time. I definitely don't start off finding an attractive person and then try to become interested in them. My relationships normally stem from existing friendships, and as far as that goes, looks are just a bonus =D

In theory inner beauty is all that matters, but some beauty on the outside as well sure helps! ;) I can't imagine getting myself into a romantic situation with someone if I didn't find them attractive in some way.

I don't know if I could be with some I didn't find attractive. I think, though, that some people are more flexible about this than others. my husband isn't all that attractive in the eyes of other people, but I like how he looks.

I think there needs to be an attraction between two people before there can be a relationship. I do not feel that the attraction needs to be looks. I think that you can be drawn to someone who has a great sense of humor first and then it can change to like or love. I think that too many people put too much emphasis on looks. I know a few women who were totally good looking, model types, but they had no sense of humor and they did not care about anyone but themselves, very selfish. These girls can not find happiness within themselves so I do not know how they will find hapiness with someone else. A good relationship is based on mutual likes and dislikes. There needs to be common ground. To start a relationship just because of looks is setting yourself up for a fall. I have found that just because someone is pretty on the outside doesn't mean they are pretty on the inside. My cousin dated a guy who was very cute and he knew it. He felt because he was cute and she should be proud to be seen with him that he could treat her any way he wanted. Well he got a rude awakening. My cousin and I are very close and he may be good looking and all that but he was not a nice person and I let him know it. Too bad it was with mashed potatoes upside his head but he still looked good. My cousin is cute in her own right and did not need this fool at all. We all have different ideas of what attractive is as well. What you find attractive I may not and the other way around. There is only one point I have to make there is someone for everyone. Demand respect and honesty and you can have a good relationship no matter what you look like.

presentable enough is okay.... of course we dont waht to go out with someone who didnt even brush her hair or teeth lol. looks maybe deceiving so you may not just look into looks whats inside the heart is important after all not all the besuty is seen tru the eyes it is also felt from the heart.

Love is in the eye of the beholder. Often times throuh, someone you never thought was attractive may become attractive after you get to know them and vice versa. Also, there must be some physical attraction for a relationship to work.

the first thing i look for a girl when i saw one is their toes. looks doesn't matter to me that much. but it's definitely a plus factor right? when i look for a girl i go for those who are so clean and tidy. i hate messy girls

Compatible looks. I dont think you can actually be with someone you are not physically and mentally attracted to.

I dont really place any emphasis on looks in my relationships. When i was dating i never looked at a guy that had asked me out and thought hes ugly i cant go out with him. Most i at least gave a chance to. I agree there has to be some kind of physical attraction. But i think basing a relationship on solely looks wont get you very far. Most relationships dont last long if they are based on looks. But if you fall in love with someone of course your going to find them very attractive. When i was dating my husband i always thought he was very attractive but he never seemed to think so . The persons personality is the biggest part of it in my books.

It's not important that your partner is just attractive or beautiful internally.Looks is important on a relationship.In our society,relationships having unattractive appearance receives a lot of insults and comments.Some will quote"tsk,her beauty is not worth it for the guy".. It may sounds bad,but truly,people are after the looks.This is their way of figuring how compatible the couple is. As for me,im also after the looks.Yeah,the real beauty lies within,but,hello!!we must also on the physical appearance.,,It's not enough to say that"my partner has all the kindness in the world"when her beauty is not good for the eyes of others. I can wait for years,looking 4 a kind and pretty girl other than suffering for my whole life living with nice but ugly partner...heheh peace
