How much do looks determine who you go out with?
Just something that stemmed my curiosity, I was wondering how much does physical appearances determine whether or not you go out with someone? I mean do they have to have a pretty face, big chest, and/or big butt, or a sexy face, huge biceps and nice abs? I just realized how much different I am with my friends on this situation cause they all want da big chest. D=
Personally, I prefer someone with a pretty face, but in terms of chest and butt, could care less... They could have mosquito bites on their chest for all i care. Oh and in terms of height, idk shorter girls seem so much more attractive... Maybe I'm just weird as hell LOL
What do you prefer?
Edit: I'm not trying to say personality isn't anything, I mean I fell in love with my current gf's personality before her looks, but I'm curious to look at just the factor of physical appearance

Well, If it's a stranger walking up to me and asking for my number, then my response will be purely on their looks.
But say if I knew someone, and I begin to see how great of a personality they have, they start looking more and more attractive to me.
I care about appearance a lot. It's safe to say that I wouldn't date the nicest person in the world if they didn't fit my one appearance-based criteria.
Hygiene.

You're probably living in the whitest community on the planet then.

[quote=cuddymd]physical appearance matters to me, perhaps to the same degree as personality. i'm not ashamed to admit it, and there shouldnt be any shaming of shallow people.
lets keep it real, we all want to be with attractive individuals. this is just the truth[/quote]
amen pretty much. =/

Well, with men, I generally look for someone taller than me with a somewhat even complexion. Doesn't necessarily have to be particularly 'attractive', but someone who isn't disquieting to look at. Most of the time, I'm not immediately infatuated with a person by glancing at them, so I can't really say that it's a 'looks' thing.
I'm not too choosy, but I prefer that the person is at least a 6.5/10 in my book. ._.
My ex-es are at least a 7 and a 7.5.
It is true that personality will be a much much great factor, the longer you are in a relationship.
asexual here
never really understood these things
But I would think they would need a nice face though
It determines whether or not you begin to flirt with them. If not for looks, people wouldn't be remotely attracted in the first place. But definitely personality plays a part of it too. Personally, she doesn't have to be smoking hot but cute enough to have a wonderful personality. =]
@SoulBlade: but thats the bar scene or the girl across the room at a party thing. With some people its been getting to know the person without any intention of getting into a relationship then suddenly the hints starts coming out that the female or males wants more no matter what their outward appearance is.
A big chunk honestly. It depends on how a girl looks before I even consider their personality. It's like digging into them until I see if they're my type.
@Zoneflare4:
Of course, but that wouldn't be on my mind when we first meet.
[quote=SoulBlade]Well if I'm looking at it for a long time, it has to be good.[/quote]
you do know that your perception as to what they look like changes as you get to know the person better right?
I'm not interested in girls that are fat, or with a face that's hard to look at. I mainly go for the face first, then personality, then the ass. Considering I'm black I don't care about skin colour.... for me its as long as they look good. Just to put that out there, I was raised around white people in my childhood 4-8years old, my family was literally the only black family on the street back then and all my friends on the street were white girls and guys, I remember being adored. Because of that I don't talk like a black person T_T feels weird thinking about it, cuz that's how things were. How I wish I had some kind of accent like my mom who can talk like a Jamaican whenever she wants.
Edit: my mom is mixed but raised in jamaica
Well if I'm looking at it for a long time, it has to be good.
50% of it , then 50% personality

Dont forget that she will have an easier time striking your family jewels and preventing you from having kids
@DatNewNew: So I can hold a ruler over her head when we fight to make her feel stupid.
well don't believe those guys or girls saying "naaaw doee look don't matter it your heart <3 " in fact, the most important thing is look, because when you first meet someone, you don't see his/her heart but his/her face , so
based on physical appearance, i prefer someone who is tall. i'm pretty tall so i prefer someone 5'9 +
can't be too shabby looking. must dress nice and have a nice personality.
i like tall and slim girls. looks DO matter but i really like personality. if she's funny then she's perfect.
i'd say looks matter when you first meet the girl, but personality keeps the relationship going.
It matters a lot just for initial attraction but there are factors that derail it from time to time
Redheads & nice legs.
Where da hot European women at?
It matters a lot to me honestly. People who say looks don't matter, are bsing themselves. You'd date a hobo off the streets? And I hate when people say if they're good looking they have a bad personality..not truee.
Anyways for a guy they just need to have a cute face and be athletic and Hispanic / White (not Asians or Blacks, soz). Not too much to ask for lol.
Asian girls are my weakness. I can't say I've ever seen an ugly skinny Asian girl.
Other than that, I don't care about boobs or face as much as I care about ass -- which isn't even something I care about much either. Height is really awkward for me because I'm 6'3" and I go after these 5'0" girls but uhm... ya...
TL;DR didn't read: I'll date any Asian girl who isn't fat.
