Is appearance everything?, It seems like it for many people Options

[MrTurtle]

do looks matter to you? what if he's a bit small down there or shes unportioned up there?
do you get freaked out about it or anything?

[Spirited Away]

Looks matter at first. If I find out that a guy's a jerk after getting to know him, it wouldn't matter to me if he's gorgeous, I would get away from him as quickly as possible.

My friends and I always have disagreements on how handsome a guy is. The proverbial "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is true.

[SupraS15]

Looks matter to an extent... but once you reallie get to know them... it's more of a bonus than a main feature ^_^

[XxKrNqTcUiTyxX]

well ppl are lying when they say that LOOKS DONT MATTER, cuz everyone's shallow. but i wouldnt mind dating an ugly guy if hes rilli sw3et and nice and i wouldnt never date a pretti boy whos an @$$

[tinababy143]

i wouldnt get freaked out about it..but looks matter..they just arent the most important thing in a relationship..but yess..looks definetely matter

[illuminessence]

The sad thing about us is that no matter how many times we insist that we look for personality, we actually look for the attractive ppl first, and THEN get to know them. But sometimes, ppl stumble upon "unproportional" ppl who have the sweetest personality.

[ComradeRed]

Ok, I think we can all agree now that this thread is STUPID-BAITING.

[*NatiMarie*]

Looks slightly matter, but it's not everything. If a person is hella cute or whatever but has the worst personality, then what's the point of having the good looks. They go to waste haha, that just sounded wrong but yeah, you get the idea. I guess we are all shallow, but yeah, some more than others. It just depends. I think personality is more important than looks. When someone can make me laugh and just make me feel good about myself, they are beautiful in my eyes.

[aznraver396]

I guess looks is the first thing but then you get to know the person and like them more for their personality. As supras15 said, the looks is the bonus. =]

[LiNHy POO]

in the beginning it does matter... you have to have sum physical attraction... but in time... it doesnt really matter anymore...

[*krnxswat*]

I mean yeah, it matters first, but like most people said, it doesn't matter if their personality is totally crap; and as for the unproportional part, I wouldn't mind if they were as flat as a wall, as long as I loved them and they loved me.

[expoised]

looks are what catch my eye. but in the long run... it doesn't really matter

[silver kiss]

sound like everybody have the same opinion on this
looks does matter but remember people change and their looks change, just like a rose someday will wilted and so in the long run u learn to luv the personality and not the looks becuz it won't last.

[illuminessence]

deep stuff. love the comparison between looks changing and a rose wilting.

[177emories]

you mena the "looks" of "there" or like the body and face??

[phatty]

yeah i go for looks at first and then get to know him, mostly they're jerks...sucks

[twistedfate]

whether most people admit it or not, looks do matter, but only at first. gradually, you will start to notice all of the good things about their personalities and the way they act than the way the look. of course how they look will always be on the surface of your mind, but you get used to looking at them so much that it doesn't really matter. and you come to love them even if they are 'unproportional'.

[NvieDi3ai3yGrL]

looks only get you so far. the person may have some flaws .. but the depth and degress of one's personality is what determines if you want to stick around or not .

[Blueiyzboy]

Of Course looks matter...lets say you go to a bar when your older.

You see someone...and there ugly. Are you going to go and talk to them? I dont mean this in a mean way but it is what everyone does... no ugly girl is ever HEAD CHEARLEADER... or anything like that

[ThePrincessofTKD]

when i talk to a guy online..and he seems pretty cool and all..then when i see his pic i go " "

yes. i`m mean like that. i stop talkin` to them. i only talk to them when they IM me. but some guys are STILL pretty cool and i talk to them online.

but usually...when i like a guy...all my friends think he`s ugly..

then i go and defend him..

[onenonly101]

^^yeah

When you first meet someone you go on looks. Because if you are somewhere you are not going be like oh that boy/girl over there has an excellent personality, you are gonna be like the boy/girl is FINE let me go talk to him/her. After you get to know someone though it starts to diminsh

[WildGriffin]

Looks somewhat matter.

Truth is, basically anyone can look cute. It all about self confidence and all that.

I'm not into super model hot girls, they're plastic and concided. Same with ditzy cheerleader types, they look so-so but think they're the sh*t. Normal is good.

But yeah, I can't see somebody's personality from across the room, so something has to attract; and looks are as visual as you can get.

[LatinaLady]

well thats what you look at the first. so yeahin a way they matter, but once you get to know that person you;ll see a big difference.

[AzNl2iCeB0i69]

For me.. it doesnt really matter about the looks.. Its their personality that counts... And like wut the other persons said.. Looks are just a bonus and its wuts inside that really counts..

Like they say.. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

For all i care.. she can be flat as hell but for me.. I still love her for who she is.. Her personality.. Because its whats inside that counts.. not the inside...

[cleec]

Looks do matter to a certain extent
You don't just go up to an ugly person on the street and act interested
You are first attracted to them and then hope they have a good personality too
If they are a total jacka$$ then it doesn't matter if they are hot or not
If they aren't soo hot but have an amazing personality than you go for them

[FlyingFries]

uhhhhh......for me itz itz the girl's personailty (<--mostly that) and the looks

[tWinKliEmE]

well.. i kno everyone always says "looks dont matter" but like in life, thats the way things are... like i dont really care bout looks.. if hes a really nice and sweet guy .. but if hes hot and a stupid jerk... then.. who cares.. i mean.. like i liked this guy that wasnt so cute.. but he had a really sweet and nice personality and everything.. so to me, looks dont matter

-steph

[shawty_redd]

looks matter somewhat..u just see the looks first without knowing them..my friend says its the looks that reel them in but u gotta have the personality or you'll loose 'em regardless of looks...or size

[barbie]

if you date somoeone for what they look like, or how big or small their body parts are and thats the only reason, than youre shallow. But if you like somone and they might not be the prettiest, have the biggest chest size and so on, itwill be ok bc thats not what a relationship should be based upon

[pnkstar]

i dont really care as long as hes sweet and nice and stuff...but yeah, sometimes i kinda think looks do matter....

[xBaBiEGrLx]

to me..da lookz do kare..but not as much as da personality

[y0urmistake]

I have to be physically attracted to the person... but thats not ALL that matters

[babixangela]

To me, looks does matter... up to a certain point.

[islandkiss]

um.. I know it's wrong..but I don't think that I'd enjoy going out with an ugly guy.. you know? But, what really matters is that he has a great personality and that he treats me right.

[Mini]

I mean yeah, it matters first, but like most people said, it doesn't matter if their personality is totally crap; and as for the unproportional part, I wouldn't mind if they were as flat as a wall, as long as I loved them and they loved me.

what seon ho said. anyways..i think looks can matter to an extent. i mean i dont want to go out with some ugly person with yellow teeth, bad skin, and bad hair. i want a person who can take care of themselves. HYGENE people hygene! i dont care if they have a big or small ass or big or small boobs..i just want a person who has a good personality, intellect, independent, self confident, and take care of themselves.

[sandra]

looks may not always be descent, its what inside that counts. dont let a random cute handsome guy fool u, cuz u never know how bad he is.

[Winter]

Looks do matter at first. But after a while, it's what's inside that matters most. I don't think a girl would like going out with a gorgeous guy who loves nothing more to talk about himself. But a girl would like a guy who has a good personality, even though he only looks so-so.

[ichiban]

Looks don't matter at all to me. When I start liking someone, it's because I gotta know them and looks are tha farthest thing from my mind .. unless .. he was SO UGLY it got skary .. but to me dey dont really matter ..

[kyootE_krn_bebe]

looks matter. to me..big time? no..just..looks matter..

[crescentxmoon]

you know alot of people say looks don't matter! and alot of peopole say looks don't matter! and there's a group of people who say looks kinda matter...i'm in that group. i mean looks aren't what makes me like a guy, but it's kinda like a bonus....no offense to those guys out there and all...heh. ^^;

[ur_my_sweety20]

Looks matter to an extent... but once you reallie get to know them... it's more of a bonus than a main feature ^_^

i agree!!! my bf isnt exactly the hottie of the school...but he is the sweetie!!! i luv u baby!!!

[vivieeeen]

Looks matter.

at first

[princesslena523]

ok i say looks dont matter but whenever you meet someone its like first apearence like everyone we all usually look at their image at first like if we see someone we're attracted to then we get to know them and if they're nice then yea but if they're an ass we lay back and then if we meet someone whos not hot, cute or whatever we just get to know them and gradually start liking them if they're nice and sweet. but in general looks dont really matter cuz if you started to like someone who was nice and sweet they just become hott lol but iono its your opinion

[skaterjswife2]

OKay.. I'd like to say looks dont matter..but that'd be such a lie.. when you first meet someone you do judge purely on looks. But later, it doesn't matter how bad looking they are,(okay okay they cant be hideous lol) if they are nice, i'll fall for them. In the end, everyones gonna be old and gross anyways and you'll be stuck with the person who is either the nicest person who you love, or some ugly annoying person. haha. soo yeah

[fullmusicedmajor]

"Love looks not with eyes, but with the mind."
William Shakespeare

[WONHEEEEE_:D]

a bit.. if he's too good-looking i get scared.. lol-- i go for the HIDEOUS ones.. HAHAHA

[doom_diver]

Well. as the topic states, Is appearance everything for a relationship. Because It seems like on CB, I see many posts and topics like "There is this guy is REALLY HOT and I want him or There is a really ATTRACTIVE girl and I like her". And same thing in my school, all the boys and girls in my class likes people for their appearance not for the beauty inside. IT just seems like everywhere, people like others for their appearance. Is appearance that important? So, any replies?

[dao]

err... to me its not... but a good apperence is always a plus.... anyways.. you can really find your thier personality by talking with them online...

[Nicolatofu]

Well to be honest, sometimes appearence can mean something in the beginning because it's part of first impression, but whether or not we choose to look at that as a reason to talk to them is our choice. But it does run through everyone's head.

it's not CB ignores the ugly people or something.

-->Topics Merged<--

[pbear]

^ i agree with what dao said.

and some people i know have broken up with really attractive g/fs, b/fs because their personalities weren't quite as appealing.
so no, 'appearance is everything' isn't always the case.

[maia_dc]

Looks matter 49%. (to me, at least)

[triggerX]

well~~~ i think looks does matter. why else are all the good looking people taken? for example~ most of the couple these days are always like" o i love you so much blah blah, look's dont matter even though your alrighty so HOT, its the inside i love" and still like that after they have been dating for like ..1 month

[Pineapplepower]

It's not everything. I mean a nice face and stuff is all he really needs. What is important is his personality and how he treats me.

[Paradox of Life]

Appearance is almost everything to a lot of people, deny it or not. If someone was ugly, had acne, was extremely fat, but had a good personality, would you go out with him? If you said yes, you are lying.

[Hell-Rell]

Looks matter sometimes But I'm not all the way with looks

[*mzkandi*]

Not to sound shallow or anything, but then again maybe I am, but looks matter to me. If I am not attracted to you then what is the point?

[*stephinika*]

they do matter, because sadly, it is one of the first things you see when it comes to a person. the thing is though, you also have to look past the appearance but some people don't.
i do believe looks matter, but personality and whatnot is much more important.

[yukichan]

well ppl are lying when they say that LOOKS DONT MATTER, cuz everyone's shallow. but i wouldnt mind dating an ugly guy if hes rilli sw3et and nice  and i wouldnt never date a pretti boy whos an @$$

i agree..looks do matter to me to a certain extent, but personality matters more than anything..

[SMiLEEFORMEE]

i wouldnt get freaked about what your aiming at. but of course looks matter (like everyone said) to a certain extent

[pinayprincess]

well it kind of depends... i wouldnt want to go out with a guy who was ugly [to me] .. i would wanna go out with somebody who is good looking... and size pretty much matters, but at the time its doesnt b/c its not like im going to us it [any time soon hehe]

[moralsdecayaway]

honestly its all about looks.. but in a different way..

"He doesnt love her because shes beautiful, shes beautiful because he loves her."

think on it

[sweetabandon]

Looks will always have a factor in determining a lover. When you think about it, it all comes down to Darwinism. He believes that the reason why people try to choose the most handsome or beautiful lover is because people who look good are supposed to have stronger genes. Naturally, these people would then produce more effecient offspring.

They even conducted a study to see if babies who look cuter get better treatment, and the truth is.. that they do. When a parent doesn't think their child is up to par with the others they tend to not show as much affection to their child. Sad but true.

[sheddingtears]

to some people it doesnt matter as much... but for me, to get with someone, i want to be attracted to them and then hope that their personality is just as good.

[xtreme_<3]

nope. although, physical attraction is the first thing that connects people, or so i think. for me, the guy i like isn't all that great looking but i like him anyway because hes sweet. hes my ideal dream guy

[AnnahhbeL]

looks matter sometimes. if the person is sweet and ugly at the same time, it doesnt really matter. but is theyre cute and acts like an ass, then forget about them

[maia_dc]

Yea well girls here are saying that they'd never date a hot jerk, but the thing is, most girls are so easily fooled. Most of the time, the hotness is overwhelming, and it excuses the bad qualities. So girls fool themselves, saying "Oh he's hot and he's a bit rude, but he is sooo nice to me; I know he has a good heart," or "You just need to get to know him!" and shit like that. But the thing is, if he was ugly you would have dismissed him after the first or second meeting.

All I can say is, at least I don't act that pure, because I know that no one really is.

[pyrochick19770]

Sadly, they matter.
A guy doesn't have to be ABSOLUTELY and OVERWHELMiNGLY STUNNiNG, but c'mon, you're not even going to give the time of day to some snaggle toothed ugly guy.

[mouse_3k]

No. I think good looks is just a bonus

[TWEEiES]

If I see a cute guy a at school or something I would say 'oh he's cute' and I would want to get close with him and talk to him. But Its not like 'oh he's cute so I like him', I just want to be friends and get to know him. To me looks does matter a bit, I mean he has to look okay and above.. I don't want some one really ugly >.<

[*salcha*]

Sadly, appearance seems to be the only thing to shallow people at my high school.

[3ssx]

its only part of it.
its not EVERYTHING.

[dragyn]

I'm not gonna lie. Looks are what catch my eye, just like anyone else.

Although, I feel like I am unlike everyone else in that I base my first impression of someone more on their clothing style and general fitness more than things that they can't control, like their nose, chin, how tall they are, that kind of thing. I look to see if people take good care of themselves. If they're super-obese, or you can really tell that they don't brush their teeth, I'm not gonna want to be associated with them. Well, romantically at least.

BUT! Once I get to know someone, appearance begins mattering less and less. Appearance doesn't count for shit if you're a jerk.

[reanimateddroid]

if looks mattered in the end would it not be up to you?

[Angel_Cece]

when i talk to a guy online..and he seems pretty cool and all..then when i see his pic i go " "

i agree... if i'm not satisfied by what see i just click that block button lol. TO ME, imo looks are 60% of the total package
60% looks
20% personality
10% smarts
10% caring.
haha

[funky_munky]

When you first meet someone, you WILL care about how they look but as you get to know them, I don't think it becomes an issue anymore
At least thats what I think.
