I agree. To me, the important things, in order of importance, are a good heart, a compatible personality, and a good brain.

I think it does to some extent because there has to be an initial attraction. I am not saying they have to have beauty queen good looks, but they must be attractive to you in my opinion, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe women see possible male companions from different perspectives.

Regardless if one is not appealing to you in some sort of way then you are not going to take the situation any farther than friends at times..

There has to be some sort of attraction whether it be their looks/personality etc..

Even if some say looks does not matter.. That is hard to believe for if they were set up with someone on a blind date and when they met them they look like they are homeless how many would actually say looks does not matter..

We all have things we are looking for when it comes to a partner.. And there are things that would make us think no way not dealing with that type of attitude etc...

One can be plain looking with a personality that makes others notice them. At times ones personality is what makes them shine.. Then one can be beautiful and open their mouths and what comes out of it makes them ugly within..

Looks may not be the ending/beginning factor but in reality it still plays a roll on the ones we take a shinning too..

I don't think anybody wants to wake up next to someone who looks like they escaped from the zoo.

looks are a personal choice.. "eye of the beholder" scenario.. one can look to Mo like they escaped from the zoo however to the person they're actually with, they might be the "apple of their eye"..

that said, there are attractive features in every person.. you just have to look for them.. spend time with them and you can perhaps discover those unique qualities that make that person shine..

People have difference ideas of what is attractive, I learned a long time ago that if you go out to the clubs with a 'wing man' then you want to have different ideas of what attractive is or you will be fighting over the same girl at the end of the night...lol.

That being said, there is also a couple saying I remember... "Beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder" and "There is a pretty switch on the wall"...lol
