Dating only based on physical attraction is moronic.
Dating someone you're not physically attracted to is a recipe for the hotter partner falling in love and getting their coworker pregnant/getting pregnant by their coworker.
Loyalty and kindred spirit and such is definitely important. But dating and marriage is romantic, and sexual attraction is needed for that to last. So yes, you need personalities that get along good, and trust and honesty and loyalty for the platonic side of a relationship to last. And if you want loyalty and attraction, you need sexual attraction going both ways or a few years down the road one partner is going to be smitten for someone at the gym while the other partner is frustrated that they want sex a lot and their partner never does.
I feel that celebrities aren't good examples, since they have higher divorce rates than regular people because they tend to get married for all the wrong reasons: money, publicity, looks. Also, lots of them have mental health, alcohol and drug addiction issues.
I think the question's title, should be rephrased into "you should not date someone just/only because of their looks." No one says you should date someone you aren't attracted to, but if you don't have anything in common or no emotional connection at all, that relationship is doomed to fail. A horrible personality can make a good-looking person seem less attractive. Similarly, someone slightly attractive with a great personality becomes more attractive than they are.
In my opinion, it is equal, both looks and personality are somewhat important
Attraction without personality is hook up/ friend with benefits. Personality without attraction is friendship
You can be with someone with whatever reason that makes you happy. Everyone love different lives and have different view of happiness. Love is different to everybody but what stands the same is that everyone loves someone for a reason. Just because it doesn't work for them doesn't mean it will not work for you.
Well I guess if beauty fades for attractive people, the beauty fades for unattractive people evenly on average if not more so. So unattractive now even more so later, attractive now and more likely to be even more attractive later. But rich guys can always find a younger piece of arm candy if they that is what they want.

I fall for a girls personality too not just looks
she could be drop dead gorgeous phiscaly
but if she's a shitty person. As a human being.
I won't be attracted to her
id take a 6 i get along with and like
over a 10 thats gunna be nothing but problems
I believe we should not take that statement that deep. I personally could never date someone I'm not attracted to. First impressions matter and if he has a great personality than that's a bonus.
Sometimes it is because they are attractive themselves and attract good looking women. Sometimes it is about the money.
Only fugly women say that. Smart men say we should pick a woman based on her character & if she's too lazy to stay fit that's a character issue.
Beauty sells (even flowers are made attractive so that honey bees are attracted to them) and so that's why, you see beautiful women and handsome men in movies
However, what looks good isn't necessarily good. That's why, for relationships, looks are one of the many factors
Makes sense?
Beauty doesn't really fade. Not all older people are ugly. Christy brinkley ain't bad for an old lady. I've seen some real trolls who are even younger than her. Just saying.
No one listens to that BS. Looks and sex are a vital part of relationships
The problem is feelings can fade aswell so that statement is irrelevant.
We are all going to start dating someone who we find attractive at that time.
I think they're saying to not ONLY be with someone based on their looks since they fade.
People's personality can warp and change over time as well.
Time to grow up. Movie stars and sports stars are rich and famous men, meaning they can just keep replacing women as they age out. All you need to do is become relatively successful and you can do the same things.
If men didn't consider looks when choosing a woman, then women would lose about a third to half of their appeal. Women bring MUCH les to a relationship than men do, and looks is one of the few things they do bring.
yes looks do matter you have to be physically attracted to someone.
but with that being said the way i see it is looks get their foot in the door but a good personality keeps em in the room. If you get what I mean.
Meat counter: there's nice meat, and there's not so nice meat. Which do you choose?
If you start with 150%, then you are left with 100% after wear-and-tear :D
Begin at 90% - and only 40% are the end result.
Beauty doesn’t always fade. There are many attractive people on their 50’s and 60’s.
I would not use these people as comparisons for anything. Most are sluts. The divorce rate is 70%. You’re talking about a very very small percentage of the population.
Hollywood actors and actresses aren't exactly of the stable kind.
Because of a professional makeup department on set.
Money can buy almost anything.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Beauty never fades in those love filled eyes.
100% true. Always fall in love with somebody's mind.
