Is Physical Appearance Important?

i don't think physical appearence should trump love at all

But take into account that the "beauty and the beast" is nothing more that an animation movie, not real life. We can't deny that physical appearance IS important. But I think its importance varies over the time of a relationship. Say, at the very first moment to know anyone, you know nothing about she, is a complete stranger, you don't know is she's sweet, angry, careful or whatever. But you can always see her physical attributes, how nice or ugly is she is clearly visible from the first time. Often we all decide to meet someone or not based more on the appearance only. Of course we can miss someone very good or end up in a relationship with the bad one. Think about it, when engaged in the relationship we begin to know more depthly each other, what her feelings are and so, and love begins to appear (or not). And if we love each other, we will remain togethereven if we don't have the perfect shape.

What ever said and done, I will be a hypocrate, if I say the physical appearance is not important.Beauty and physical appearance is a vey important thing in a relationship. Beauty and the beast is a fable, this is the real world.

For me it's the person's attitude that matters most.

Physical importance is not important in love... True love, care, trust, understandings and affection are the only things important in the love life... Have a nice day..

Physical appearance is a huge "plus-factor" when it comes to first impressions, but not on successful relationships. Who wouldn't fall in love with a cute and hot chick/guy when the very first thing that most people notice about them is appearance? A good appearance is good, but not important. Love is not a game and people should not fall into looks alone, although it will gain a lot of respect to your peers, but we must always look out for those thorns hiding under the rose. Love would have a different meaning when looks are all that mattered. It would probably make love more blind and senseless when looks became the main criterion. That is, of course, based on the point-view of a hopeless romance dude. Looks aren't all that bad, in fact it's good to have good looks, but dig deeper into the personality and you will find the thing that matters the most in a person.

In the end, physical appearance is not important. I'm a Christian and the Bible makes it clear that God sees the heart, not the outward appearance. Many beautiful people in the Bible came unstuck in a big way; but this does not automatically mean that physical beauty is a bad thing, far from it: just because a person is beautiful it doesn't mean that a person is automatically flawed; far from it. Many beautiful people have beautiful natures. It's just that, in the end, a person's heart is the important thing. All that said, though, there is something in each of us that responds very powerfully to physical beauty; that is unavoidable. Just as we marvel at the beauty of the physical world, we marvel at human beauty as God's crowning creation. None of us are exempt from this rule: we all deeply drawn to physical beauty, men and women alike.

Physical appearance is the first thing that we notice about someone. it can be what attracts us to them and helps us to fall in love with that person. i don't believe that physical appearance by itself is all that we need to think is important about loving someone.

I think physical attraction is what really took place in every possible relationship.Lovers usually take notice of how possible partner looks and then the process continues. It will never happen without this first stage, physical attraction. This is my honest opinion!

The moral of beauty and the beast is all well and good, but i think that there needs to be a certain amount of phsyical attraction for a person to stick around long enough to get to know the others personality.

I can say that there's still a lot of people who fall in love not just because of the physical appearance. I've seen people in the mall, church and in the other places who is with someone who is not really good but they are in love with each other. My boyfriend is not that really good at first and then what I really love about him is that he is so good in our class and his kindness. He helped me in all my deeds for our event and started to fall in love. Now a days I think he improves a lot. I helped him to be good all the time. Also in his choice and clothes. Good day! God bless!

At first, looks do matter 'cos basically, you wouldn't want to get to know more about the person if you're not pleased with what you see. Everyone's guilty of it. But then again, love comes into the picture only if despite of the fact that you've discovered the ugly sides, you area still all willing to accept the person. So yeah, basically, it's still what your heart wants and not what your eyes want to see.

I think the physical appearance is very important.First,agree with the 4 floor that"the first impression is the best impression".We can make a comparison,two people have the resemble characters,they even love smile .but the one is very beautiful and the other is aglily with some whelk on his/her face,which do you like to be your friend more?

I think at first you will notice the appearance if it is a total stranger. I would not walk up to a unattractive total stranger to get to now him - would you? When I met my husband he was not a tall, dark and handsome guy at first sight but I still liked what I saw. The first thing I remember of him was that he was really funny and we had great laughs. So I would say it depends on what you are looking for in a person. Some people definitely only look at the physical appearance and others would go for the personality first! I say physical appearance is not important!!

Personality is certainly more important than anything because if they have a personality that you don't like, then you won't be attracted to them, but physical appearance has some importance as well. The person that you fall in love with has to look attractive to you. If they don't look attractive to you, then they aren't going to look attractive at all. It's really a combination of the two. The person has to have a pleasant personality to you, and they have to look attractive to you. They can look unpleasant and sound unpleasant to everyone else, but so long as they are attractive to you, then that is what matters. My boyfriend is a attractive to me, and I love his personality. Now, I know that the rest of my family doesn't like him very much, but that doesn't matter to me. What matters is what I feel about him. Also, what does my family know about men? Many of the women have been with drunken, abusive, manipulative, lying, cheating, stealing monsters. My boyfriend doesn't fit any of those categories.

People have eyes.No matter how good or intelligent you are, they care about how you look.That first visual impression is important and we can't do anything about it.I think that people fall in love because of what they see,especially men.It's a fairytale you're talking about.Life's different.Sometimes girls marry beasta because they are rich,in this case the appearance doesn't matter, nor does the personality.

I have to say I think it is somewhat important. I think I wouldn't be attracted to some body that is not decent the first place.

Physically we get attracted to those who catches our attention, and generally i would say that physical attributes really give a lasting impression, and it really matters to give the right impression, be it physically-wise or personality-wise, especially when looking for a job or getting along with others. i would say that those gifted physically have an advantage over those with lesser looks.

well,beauty is in the eye of the beholder.I know it is an ancient cliche but indeed it still applies. Maybe Belle thought that Beast has a good physicals appearance that is why she fell in love with him. If we are going to look at animals, physical appearance is very vital in looking for a mate. For instance, a male peacock should have a very colorful and nice feathered tail,so as other bird. This is needed to attract the possible mate. But for me as a human being physical appearance is only secondary when you are talking about real and deep rooted love. Sallow love asked for good appearance and other things that pleases the eye. But if you really love the person you will not see flaw in him or in her.All you will see are the good things. Love is mysterious.it does not measure,who and what you have.

nowadays its important because first impression is the best impression
