How important are looks in a relationship?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend cannot stop bragging about his looks. He is super confident and cocky. He feels like he is the sexiest man I've dealt with, the hottest guy I will ever have, thinks im not used to dating hot guys and feels good to know im intimidated. He's seen two of my exes and says they're both ugly and got offended because they were so ugly it made him feel ugly. You hear him all the time calling other men ugly and himself pretty. He does get a lot of hate and feels like people are hating on him blames it on him being a good looking fella. We got into a fight which made him pissed at me for a day or two. When we made up he mentioned how he is the hottest guy I've been with and asked why would I push away a guy so sexy as him when its my first time dating one. Every argument where he feels like I want to break up, he tells me he has no problem leaving me cause he says he can get any woman he wants. And has bragged about all the hot women he had in the past. He's also from another state and im planning on going to his state for a family vacation. He told me that the people who live there are hot and I have to look really attractive when I go there.

looks are extremely important in a relationship. you wouldn't want to have sex with someone you didn't find attractive

looks is what allows you to tell the difference between your boyfriend, your dad, your brother or your neighbor or some random stranger down the street unless you're ok with being blind for the rest of your life

if looks weren't important then why are you with him then?

Looks and personality work together. Both are important but vary to individual person.

You need to be attracted to the person. You can't deny that at all.
They are important mainly in the early stages to gravitate towards each other, but then personality takes over and determines whether it's long term or not

Do you still need to be with him? A guy that undermines her girlfriend with any chance he gets is so shitty. You should break it off

The more superficial you are, the more important looks are to you.

Well, for you apparently it's pretty important.

Not everyone looks for the same thing in a relationship.

Looks are very important, because that is what initially attracts people to each other..
