    For me, no.
    Especially not for a life partner.

    Even picking "flings" based on looks can leave to being really annoyed!

    I told my ex that looks werent the only thing I looked for in a man, for some reason he was surprised! ha ha, I told him in order for it to last with me, he has to make me laugh too. For those of you wondering, he isnt my ex because he failed to do that, we wanted different things out of life so decided to break it off.

    Nope. Confidence is the number 1 thing.
    Although being a good looking person can really increase your confidence.
  • Looks are good enough to get girls........................it's gonna take more than that to keep them though. Some studly looking guys can't perform up to par with a womans standards (bedroom)............some don't know how to treat a woman (emotionally).............and some don't have any interest past getting laid initially anyways. (you just got played..... I hope you're a playa)

    ^^ Bingo! If you have good looks, it gets someone to look at ya. If you have no idea how to treat someone, looking is where it will end

    No...you can be the hottest guy on the planet, but if you're a complete imbecile, I'm not interested.

    Looks can get only get you so far. But it does help to be attractive!

    Nope. Looks might initially attract, but after that, a man can become ugly if his personality sucks and vice versa. For me, this even extends to actors. So like take Farscape...Criton wasn't that attractive, but now we're far enough in the series his personality has developed and hubba hubba. In MI-5, the most attractive man on that show is Harry...and he's in probably his 50s, has a tiny bit of weight to him, balding, etc. He's hella attractive. Lucas? Such an idiot on all of his decisions that he went from being attractive to "can we just skip him now?" Personality is literally...everything. And intelligence goes with it.

    What I love with my boyfriend, he's attractive, but shorter than I normally have gone for. I'm 5'1" and 3/4! I need my fraction. He's 5'8". I used to go for tall guys in the 6 foot range. Most were imbeciles unfortunately. He caught my attention with his humor. He had me rolling laughing all the time. His personality is what I crave and he only becomes more attractive with time because of that personality. When a man can erase all your concerns of the day and make you smile or laugh within 5 minutes in his presence, that's attractive. He's also intelligent, and though he has faults, the personality bonuses more than make up for those. When I first met him, I wasn't interested. He was cute, and I'm often biased -against- cute guys because they're often idiots or too full of themselves. He doesn't take himself seriously when he's being silly, and that's great.

    Yes, if the 'girl' is equally as shallow and brain dead.

    But to get a gorgeous woman of substance, you certainly need more than muscles and a pretty face.

    Good enough to get some but usually not enough to keep them. Depends on what the girl is out to get. A quick fling or something a bit more permanent.
  • While married, when I wasn't this is what attracted me: I like smart brunettes or redheads (got to be a genetic thing on that) who approach me with kindness/good manners, intelligence, and a great sense of humor. For me it's all in the eyes and the brains; that can make any man whose physique is "less than Greek" look like Adonis to me. That said, the genetic smell has to be right. From there it's a deeper discovery for the virtues of honesty, loyalty, and a hard work ethic, and compassion for other people.

    I will add that I was not looking for anyone at the time I met my now husband, and upon a first meet, I knew he was very special, but not in a romantic way. I just really liked his "way" but it was completely non-sexual. As we got to know each other it was way more casual, like friends, and then suddenly I looked at him about two months later and went :noway: :love: And we've been inseparable ever since. And he's everything in the previous paragraph. :smile:

    [Edit: I think it's important to add that my husband later told me that he liked me romantically way before I liked him--like within two weeks of meeting me--but he could sense that I wasn't into it and thought that I was in his words "out of his league," so he stayed the course and thought that he could sway me over time by just being himself, and if it worked, great--then we were well-matched. He was right. :)]

    Nope. I cannot find a guy who is a tool attractive, no matter what he looks like.

    The answer is simple.

    Are looks enough to get girls? Yes.

    Is it enough to get a smart, funny, intelligent girl who will treat you right and that you can have a successful relationship with? Nope.

    If you want someone superficial, sure. But a superficial relationship is never going to provide you with the emotional connection or love that most people ultimately want in a relationship.

    What is wrong with you? If this is your attitude no wonder you are resentful towards women. Because, I can't think of a woman in her right mind who would have anything to do with such a disgusting creep.
  • No!! My hubby makes me laugh til i scream....that's important to me....we laugh when times are good and bad.

    My Mom said she asked herself if my father came back from the war that he had to fight in disfigured would she still love him.

    Her telling me that helped me to understand it is always important to look beyond what is on the outside of a person....apperances can change.

    No. In fact looks are last to me after sense of humor,personality and what kind of person the peron is.

    Not this girl! If he's goofy, make me laugh, kind, love animals and can handle my bad jokes than that's my guy.

    Thankfully I am already engaged to one of the great ones. The looks was just a bonus :)
