are looks important

I think as we mature, we find out that looks are not everything.

Hi Winter, Ya know, even when I was much younger, looks have never been tops on my things to look for in a guy. My father was so against discrimination of any kind and he drilled it into us kids at a very young age not to judge people on superficial things and accept them for who they are and get to know the person etc etc. I do know that a very good looking person can turn your head but honestly, I have dated some very good looking men that actually are so ugly on the inside that I have ended up wondering just what I was attracted to in the first place. I have dated some that by most standards are not so attractive but they have such wonderful personalities that I really have been physically attracted to them as well. So yes..personality can affect a person's looks much more than a lot of people realize.

Looks are not important in any relationship, but at young age people will fall mostly on beautiful things though there are also occasions when they fall into certain aspects. When a person starts growing, they will get maturity and will think hard on future life and at that time the will realize that beauty is not everything in life and one needs to look into good characters of a person than anything else.To tell you, even i was getting attracted towards only beautiful girls and it too me so many years to know the real fact of life that beauty is only skin deep and now i never make the mistake of getting attracted only to beautiful things in life

I was always the type to go for the under dog per say. I always dated the boys that were picked on, less popular and yes even a handicapped boy for a little while. I always went for the not so good looking guys. For one because I knew they would treat me like gold and I wanted to make them feel more special. My parents hated that I was like that because they are pretty judgemental but it didnt bother me...

most people would say looks are important and so do i, but there are times i am not looking to one's physical appearance. for example, i like guys that are funny and simply sweet or someone who could make my heart skip a beat, then whether he's ugly or handicapped i'll love him because that's how i feel for him. so looks aren't really important. :)

Some people date attractive people because of "their" image. Like, Oh I don't want to be seen with an ugly person. But in reality, some of the most attractive people in the world, can be very ugly inside. Do you know what I mean? I have dated both, attractive and unattractive and I find that the unattractive ones are the ones with the better personality and more sensitive to my likes and dislikes. Good Luck:-)

If you learn to know the person's inside, the personality, the looks is not important. What if we were blind - the only thing we would learn to know would be the personality. The good thing is that we can have a lot of friends. I have not dated anyone since I divorced my ex in 1980s - I guess I got scared that time and it is not so easy to find someone who really knows me and loves me and whom I know well and love too, of course.. It takes time to make changes in ones life at my age.

well, i wouldn't date anyone right now as i am happily married lol, but i think the inside is what counts in a person. a guy could look really great but couldn't put two sentences together, would you date someone like that? if the person and i had similar interests and believed the same things and had genuine qualities that i admired, i would date him. also, no one is truly 'ugly' as beauty is in the eye of the beholder and God doesn't make junk!

When I was young looks are not even important to as long I feel something special with the guy. Most of my friends told me that I have no taste in picking a guy that suits for me beauty even my mothers does annoyed to me. But even my two ex's are not that handsome I ended up loosing them.

I think looks become less important as we get older, and we all tend to fail in that department outside of a select few. That is the problem however, there are a lot of times where I see people together and the disconnect between them as far of looks will go, is something that might baffle some people. But the more you think about it, the more obvious one party saw something in the party of another person. Looks fade with age, but personality traits are something that remain rather going stay. Of course, when you have bad looks and a bad personality, that is just getting it unfortunate from both ends. And obviously, I'm not rather that gifted right from the looks department, as my face can scare small children and animals. So it would be awfully hypocritical of me to judge another.

It depends on what makes him ugly. If it's because he doesn't take care if himself, then no I wouldn't date him. If he was scarred up and limped, that wouldn't matter to mr as long as he had a decent personality. If he is ugly because he doesn't groom himself ir keep himself clean then u would nit even consider him.

I don't think that there's any one simple answer to that. For me, I am usually sexually attracted to someone that I end up then falling for at a later stage. I've also been in relationships with guys that I've fallen for who weren't good looking at the very least and even though none of them has ever worked out, I learned a lot from them. I'm with a man now for the last 5 years or so, I intend to be his wife and the mother to his children. He is a beautiful man inside and out. One could say that he is somewhat emotionally handicapped or scarred from his childhood and it has formed part of who he is. It can mean that he can really hurt me emotionally without meaning to do so, but he always rights it. You could call that a handicap without it manifesting physically.

We all have to acknowledge that as we get older we look different to when we were in our teens and early twenties... Personally i think anyone that loves a person solely on their looks is shallow minded and the romance is bound to fail sooner or later. No i dont go by looks alone... While it is nice if they are good looking, it is the person of the heart that truly makes a person beautiful... Today the really good looking ones generally know it and flaunt it and are not kind hearted, whereas the plainer looking ones are kind and gentle of heart... Generally speaking that is. You asked would we date an ugly or handicapped person? yes I would if their had a kind and generous heart.

well , i believe that love is really blind, by that situation , you are honest and responsible lover to your husband, so keep it going, dont make any bad decision either./

i think looks are only important if it truly matters to the individual.
