As a woman, I genuinely believe it's something that matters more to men in a relationship. I was married young and stayed married a long time. When i found myself in the dating scene again, I realized I had no clue what I was interested in. I vowed to go on 100 first dates. I went out with men ranging from 5'4 to 6'7", from grocery store workers to professors and Lawyers, from a 10 to a 1. Men that were in shape, to men that were overweight. I went out with men 15 years younger than me to 20 years older. And men from every ethnic background. And I learned a ton about myself in the process. I don't have a type when it comes to physical appearance. What I crave is mental stimulation. A man could be model sexy, but if he doesn't have a brain in his head, I might as well be dead from the neck down because he will do nothing for me. Now if he's funny, can hold intelligent conversation, and can appreciate sarcasm and dry wit, his appearance takes last place in what attracts me.

It honestly depends on the person. From what I've seen, looks can matter more to males or females. I've heard both say they wouldn't look past looks but then meet that one person that they fall heads over heels for.
I used to be all about looks but then one day I met this guy who wasn't ugly, but he wasn't the best looking but I liked him for who he was. Which was dumb given that he was and still is a prick (but a prick that I have love for, not romantically though). Currently my crush isn't ugly at all, he's actually a decent looking guy but he isn't my type but I still like him because he makes me happy, makes my heart melt and I enjoy and appreciate who he is and how he is.
Looks matter to me in the sense that I would not date a guy that's super ugly or obese but I would and have dated average looking guys. Even went out with a guy shorter than me. Personality matters the most but some form of attraction is needed for me. In MY opinion I think guys are more into looks than girls. I've seen more unattractive guys with attractive girls way more than I've seen unattractive girls with attractive guys.
Majority of normal people want a partner who they find attractive. People who say they don't care about looks at all are often just not truthful. We all need to feel attracted to our partners whether male or female.
They matter more to guys in a relationship. This isn't to say they don't matter to girls, they absolutely do. But guys its like... looks/sweetness/get along. Women it's like looks/masculinity/success or ambition/get along/is he admirable and the looks get a smaller piece of the pie.
In hookups, looks matter a ton to both, but men without hesitation drop their standards while women -raise- their standards on looks. You might say for women hookups are about looks/chemistry, and for men hookups are about opportunity/looks/chemistry and opportunity is like half the pie.
Both genders obviously although especially girls dont admit it, except if: if the man got money, is popular or he got authority position. The funny thing is that cause of these three factors of chosing their man, they claim they don't look at the outside looks cause the majority of men look only on the outside. Pathetic. Also don't claim that "oh i look only on the inside" cause you dont always do. And you dont date a fugly fat guy/girl with small penis because he has a really good personality. Claiming you dont look only on the outside is just hypocritical.

Actually looks matters to both girls and boys as well. Guys r honestly desperate so they probably want their girlfriends to be pretty and hot.. They also want to show it off to their other friends..
When it comes to girls.. Girls r less likely to care about looks.. But they would still get attracted tl every 4th hot guy 😂
#GirlsAreComplicatedEveryone is human and humans are attracted to the looks of the opposite sex no matter what anyone says.
In general men are more stimulated by visuals but in relationships (not soley sexual relations) but in a proper relationship both are as attracted to looks as the other.Guys. I've seen tons of pretty girls dating ugly guys, looks matter to guys more. For me, looks don't matter very much unless he's ugly as shit. I'd love to get an average/decent looking guy with good personality and high intelligence.
In relationships it matters more to guys, though the girl is a lot more likely to stick around and truly appreciate the guy, even if the relationship hits a bump in the road, if she finds him very attractive. For casual sex it matters more to girls.
Looks do matter, but looks are not what I'm actively seeking. I love a guy's personality. If he has a great personality, he will always be the hottest guy to me even if he's not as attractive to other people.
There are many situations where you have a rich guy whose very ugly dating a very good looking woman who is dumb. Rarely do you see a rich girl who is ugly dating a good looking guy who is dumb.
I don't know about other men but if I don't find her very attractive physically there is NO possible way I will want a relationship with her.
That being said all kinds of women look fantastic to me!Nowdays, women are all about looks,
Women will hook up with guys who are average or ugly but they will never let them meet her friends or family,
a woman will always marry or be in a relationship with only a good looking guy,This should be obvious, looks will always be more important, people who say stupid shit like "her mind turns me on more" are only kidding themselves and they know it.
You've heard things like love at first sight and such, you don't like their personality at first, come on. Looks are what attract you in the first place. And it doesn't matter how funny or intelligent you are, cuz if you ugly, then no connection can be madeI think men tend to care about looks a tad bit more.. thats not saying women don't care about looks cause they do.
More so for guys, but girls still care about looks and they should. You can't completely lack physical attraction or a mental attraction either.
I care about looks, but I think guys care about them more
Definitely matters more to guys in general. Girls mainly need mental attraction.
This about looks don't matter is bs.. looks do matter to everyone even if you say no ! When you first look at someone you always notice there appearance first.. and that's what attracts you before anything
A bit , yes. Obviously u dnt want someone who is completely ugly. Sad but the truth has been spoken.
Looks should matter to both people in a relationship
I would say looks matter to everyone! Guys and girls both need someone who is physically attractive to them.
i think it matters for both, it is the first think gets our attention
Looks matter to everyone but to different extents.
Guys girls are more interested in other things
