"But there is also the option of meeting a friend that is physically unattractive but falling in love with their personality and their unnattractive features fading away (thats happened to me)."
^ This is everything that people who say "lools matter, don't lie" won't ever understand. Attractiveness is actually a mental stimulation. Sure you'd visually cpuld be appealing, but if you open your mouth and say the grossest or dumbest thing ever, your mind has the ability to mentally make you think that person even LOOKS bad after a second thought. Since some may still not get this, let me use an extremely harsh example: (don't get triggered people, im purposely using something extreme). Lets say a guy (or girl even) rapes a girl (or guy) after she thought he was physically cute. After the experience, the next time she sees him (or her), 10/10 her mind would of made her find him visually unappealing too. Because mental stimulation trumps any form of physical attraction. This applies to small daily scenarios where if a girl is hot but opens her mouth and says the dumbest bitchiest shit ever, she'll also bece unattractive to a guy's mind too. Or any similar case.

A guys appearance initially attracts me, but his personality determines if I continue to see him or not.
I agree with you. If an attractive guy has an awful personality, he suddenly becomes unattractive right before my eyes.
There's also been times when I haven't been physically attracted to a guy, but after getting to know his personality , his appearance suddenly became attractive to me.
So a persons personality can change my perception of their appearance. It can make a person more or less physically attractive
It matters in so far as sexual attraction and that depends on the wo/man. There are people out there that are sapiosexuals and attracted to the intelligence of a person. I would think they disregard physical features. I remember one man on another site stating that there was an absolutely handsome man coupled with an unattractive woman and he did not understand why they were together... until she opened her mouth.
Yes. Looks matter to me. I find attraction being the line between friendship and a romantic interest. If I see someone as a friend, it's because I'm not attracted to them, but I like their personality. If I see someone as a potential romantic interest, it's because I find them attractive and want to know if I like their personality.
Looks are a plus. If she is interesting and seems to have a good personality, I'd be willing to meet up with her even if I had no idea what she looks like.
Im as shallow as a plate of cereal bro lol personality is important too but if I dont find her at least a little attractive I just can't do it

well yeah... looks matter... but i you want to have a long term relationship, it is useless to prefer someone pretty over your best friend who is not so good looking. Because when you fall out of love, there will be still the friendship, not just pretty face that you don't really care about one you are in a fight. One thing is loving and other thing is being in love.
My fiancé is the handsomest person I know. Itâs been 3 years and I still think he is so damn handsome. But thatâs only my evaluation of his face, others may think differently. Personality and financial status are important in a long term relationships. physical apparence is secondary.
Looks matter to me to the extent that they are how that person chooses to treat themself and express themself. If someone is really unhealthy-looking or doesnât pay much attention to their appearance, that tells me they donât take care of themself, and thereby shouldnât be trusted to take care of me.
I won't bluntly say looks don't matter because they do to an extent. Looks are what you may first see in a person, and then comes the personality and so on and so forth. But in general, if you consider yourself ugly, and the person you like is a little more better looking than you, that lowers your confidence because you feel like you have to change yourself to accomodate for their likings.
they do, its biology, but definitely not as much as personality does
Physical appearance does matter, but not more than personality.
Only good looks matter
Do women screw over men? Hell Yes!!!
Yeah, they do matter to many.
Yes looks matter they are the first impression
