Why do people say that looks don

when we know they do. Obviously straight people are attracted to the opposite sexes body, gay people are attracted to the same-sexes body and bisexuals are attracted to both body types. Whatever group you're in you find one gender or both gender's arousing, unless you're asexual. Therefore, you seek out what you're sexually attracted too. See I told you looks matter.



They do to some extent but not entirely. And I think for some people they are more important than for others.





There are people who get and stay married to people with severe deformities, badly scarred people, blind people, unusually sized people, not to mention just plain unattractive people, so either they have very different preferences, or they are looking for more important factors.

I think it's foolish for anyone to say looks don't matter, unless they are actually blind, in which case, it might be true.





I think the perception that people need to have a "certain look" or stereotypical appearance to be attractive is the idea that so many consider an issue. That, and the idea that "attractive" people can act any way and do anything and still look good.





The reality is that no matter what you look like, there are people who will find you very attractive, and others who will find you average or even unattractive based on their personal likes and preferences. There is simply no "one type is most beautiful."





And, no matter how attractive or beautiful someone may be physically, if he or she is a self-centered, egotistical, rude person, that negates a lot of the attraction factor.





Looks matter, but behavior and character have more impact over time.




Looks is another thing that you can like someone for, but just because they don't have the best looks then you wont like them for that. It isn't totally wrong to like someone for their looks but you don't truly love them if their looks is the only thing you like about them. In that case you are just in love with their face! Its what is on the inside that matters the most!!




yeah that is true.


many people do judge.


i dont think i do.


i would go out with a guy if he were fat, ugly, cute or skinny.(just not old)


it doesnt matter to me, even if it means being friends with them.


but i dont get it when people out there say looks don't matter then they actually go out judging and shiittt.


people can beee so meaan.

They do matter to an extent, I wouldn't date some drop dead beautiful woman if I couldn't have a good conversation with her.




Political correctness.




they're not just blowing hot air. Look who they marry.




because they're full of crap! Looks matter, it's just not the only thing that matters.




thats what ugly people say to try and feel better about themselves




I'd answer this, but you beat me to it. :)
