how much do looks matter in a relationship?

i dont necessarily mean serious relationships. just how much do things like height, hair color, figure etc matter to you when finding a boy/girlfriend.

also, do different people have different ideas about what's beatiful and whats not?

    It all depends on each individual, how evolved they are, and how real they are. Thankfully there are people who know beauty is deeper than what you see on the surface.

    Yes, people have different ideas about what's beautiful. Humans are not on the same level as animals...well okay, some are, but not everyone is in lust at first sight mode.

    For a lot of people what matters is someone who's intelligent, can carry a conversation, is kind, caring, and sweet. I'm as plain Jane as they come but I have a good personality I'm told and I'm with a man who is handsome and successful.

    Leave the shallow guys and girls for each other, real people will gravitate to each other, its the law of human nature. Don't miss what's important in others, it's below the surface.

    I think it is sort of a big deal.. until you get to really know the person. You really have no control over who you fall in love with. You could fall in love with the ugliest guy, even if you didnt really mean too. With me it is pretty important. I cannot whatsoever go out with a guy that is shorter than me at all.. & I am not 2 fond about same height.. he needs to be tall. Everyone is beautiful in there own way, everyone has a different concept of what is beautiful also. Example, you go into an art museum and you see a portrait you think is just adorable, the person your with may not. Everyone has different tastes in everything, no one person is alike. As far as figure I like my men to be bigger than me .. not fat but taller and stalkier. Hair color doesn't matter to me much, Ive been with guys with all different hair color and skin tones. So I hope I helped.

    It depends on who you ask. Some people are super-shallow and won't date anyone who doesn't fit a certian description that they have set. Some people only date people they think look good. Other's will date anyone who isn't "completely ugly". And some will date anyone, no matter how beautiful or ugly their appearance. Personally, I'd date the ugliest guy in the world if I thought I'd be happy with him. I could care less if you're fat, skinny, tall, short, black, white, or even if you're a half Japanese/ half Mexican, bald, obese midget! I reserve judgement on a person until I know them.

    Yes, differen't people have different opinions about beauty. Lots of people say Brad Pitt looks good, but I think he looks like every other average looking guy out there. He's not all that hot to me. At the same time, I think I'm beautiful, although many people disagree with me because I'm overweight. Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.

    yes it matters for dates but for real relationships it wont matter as much just a little. And yes people have different ideas about who is beautiful and who isn't.

    how do you find someone attractive at the first sight? as well as the body language.

    even animals attract eachother by their look. so its natural.

    stay gorgeous!
