Thank you for you response. I was actually wondering if does the way he or she looks would mean a great deal in you proposing to the one you seem to like. Would you rather prefer another person who is a lot better looking?

I think only Neat and Clean is the Best LOOK. so if you are neat and clean then its a GOOD look for any one, and it really matters.

i dont know what the percentages it is but I know I personally was attracted to my partner however he became even more attractive to me as I got to know him, his personality made him so much more to me

I go for looks but not too much. I always make sure to get to know the person first inside out. I go for good, intelligent, genuine and caring people. I love intelligent people, the way they talk and expresses their opinions, their brilliant ideas, the good insights from them... I just love intelligent people no matter how they look.
I am always impressed by how intelligent a person is. It is overwhelming and awesome to talk with one. So I don' think looks matter so much. It does matter but not much. You can improve your looks especially with technologies of today but with intelligence you have to have it the day you are born.

i think so, to a certain extent. we do expect a particular kind of person, reasonably good looking, whatever our personal choice or fancy of beauty or attractiveness might be... so, it does matter, though personality or character or nature matters more. but at first i think we get attracted by appearance, and then we get to know the nature of the person ... normally.

i don't think you can really put a percentage on it. it depends on the person and what they're looking for. if they just want someone to fool around with, looks would probably be first on their list. for the others who are looking for serious relationships, looks don't matter as much as personality. i mean, the person can be hot as hell but dumb as a brick...no matter how good looking you are, if you can't keep a good conversation with me, you're not my type. looks can always change, but who you are wont.

for me looks matters only in the first meetings but once i got to know the personality itself looks doesnt matter anymore. looks can be decieving. humor would also be one thing that matters to me.. maybe because im such a serious typw of girl. and of course intelligence really really matters to me.. i dontwant the idea that he will always lose in a debate with me. i still want men who can dominate me in case of intelligence.

of course it matters!! if u have a freind and u dont like him then how can u make love with him or something. if u dont like his look u cant say u love him he is perfect, it means only that he is ur good freind. yes yes look is not all but it important for love but not important for friendship. i cant answer about % becuz i dont know any avarages.

looks is the first thing that attracts you to a person,then it continues from there.you cant keep a relationship that you are not physical attracted to.

If I went by your precentage here I would not have married my husband. lol I think mine was 50% feelings,20% sense of humor,20% for intelligence and another 10% for looks. Of course through the last 14 years a few of these things has changed.

ooks does matter... but it also depends on how you carry yourself. just becuase things donot come as fast as we want to people tend to get clingy! and this pushes people away becuase no one wants to have to carry any one else and their own weight. try dressing up some more and relaxing and pratice confidence. and deeep down inside you may be chasing peoplewho have issue themselves wtih commitment. just lay back and try to fins someone who isnt so hard to chase and will play game but look for someone else who may be like you or who may have flaws that others do not have i bet you will make a good match for each other and will learn to grow

I agree with a previous respondant. When I was younger it mattered more. Now, it's more of a compatability and spirtuality issue than a looks issue. Yes, looks still count. I'm still attracted to men who look a certain way. However, they don't have to have that perfect body or look. Who they are as a person is more important.

for me i feel the looks dont matter much coz after living and watching someone daily a stage comes when everything feels normal, just normal..and u even stop noticing the good or the bad looks
for me
looks:15
intelligence : 60
success :15
money:10 (see i'm being honest)
