Why is it.

That when it comes to friendship, it doenst matter what you look like, if your a good friend thats what you are, regardless of looks/personality.

But

When it comes to gf/bf, even if you have a great personality, and the person likes being with you, if your not hot/handsom then you have no chance with the one you love when compared to a supermodel type person?

The question is, in its simpilist forum, is why do people, guys and girls, let outwardly appearance affect their decision? When in all reality, looks are only skin deep and fade with time, yet the inner beauty remains the same?



i just..cant..figure this out girls, pls tell me why so many of you *and yes guys are included but im focusing on the girls for a moment, not saying all girls do this, but just in general* let looks be the judge?

why..

Well. If you want me to go all scientific on you...

The only reason humans want good looking partners in life is because they want to produce good looking babies, babies that will grow up to be good looking and therefore attract more attention from other good looking people. That's why we look for hot guys/girls. Because we want our children to be hot.

But for friends...you don't really need to make babies with them, do you? So why would it matter if he/she were slightly unattractive (<--understatement).

Okay, here's for the more mental view:

I'm not sure why. Maybe because society forces us to think everything has to be beautiful in order to be loved. Maybe because media has brainwashed us into loving beautiful things. Maybe because people have made it so that there is only one kind of beautiful person, and if you don't fit into that mold, you won't succeed in love and therefore will not be loved.

*sigh*. It's all about society these days, isn't it?
