About 50% I would say.

Having been in a relationship with someone I wasn't physically attracted to, and the relationship with my wife with whom I was wildly physically attracted to, I would say the difference is like heaven and hell. I vowed never to get with another woman I wasn't physically attracted to even if it meant being alone the rest of my life.

And as for, "Well, looks get you in the door but personality keeps things going," that's a half truth I'd say. I argue that looks have a staying power all their own. If you're physically attracted to your partner, there's a greater chance the sex will be better. Better sex generates better feelings between people.

[Jjpayne]

I'd say it's a complete package. It's difference between a love interest and a friend.

It's honestly our biology talking. We kinda don't have a choice in the matter. Once our attraction kicks in, we can in our bodies minds procreate, past that

It's blending friendship with sexual desire. And that in mind is a relationship.

But physical attraction is only one piece. And should never ever be used for marriage. You need to get to them and love their personality first. Love who they are first

[nella965]

Of course. You can’t kiss or have sex someone you’re not physically attracted to. For some folks , physical attraction doesn’t matter. But it matters for the majority of us

[DrippingHoney]

I need to have at least some attraction. He doesn't need to be the perfect male specimen, but I do need to find him attractive.

[OlderAndWiser]

If I am not attracted, I don't chase. If she looks like Rosie O'Donnell. . . forget about it!

But I can be attracted to girls who are 4/10, 5/10.

[AndrewMG]

It be a lie if I said it doesn't play a big part... but that initial attraction is useless without anything to back it up. People become exponentially more attractive the more you get to know them, hence I think the phrase "Love at first sight" is more often than not full of sh! t lol

[SunnySri]

Well mam, I won't deny that it plays a role, as the first impression which is created in the mind of a person is based on physical appearance, so physical attraction can lead to a crush, but for me it can lead only to the level of crush. If I want to pursue a relationship with someone than I would like to know her more before try to start a relationship.

• ideally a good relationship requires 4 key pillars to last the test of time.
• physical attraction, mental attraction, emotional attraction and sexual attraction.
• which all need to remain in sync with each other.

[TienShenhan]

I only ever pursued one woman what wasn't hot. She wasn't terrible looking, and she had red hair and freckles which I adore, but she was overweight and short. Her personality was amazing and she was super intelligent. She rejected me because her brother who I fought fire with for years told her about things I'd done that she didn't like. She was too good for me, and I don't blame her for thinking so

[GingerGuy]

50/50. It must be there. That doesn't mean she has to be a perfect model, but I have to be physically attracted to her. But her personality very much factors into the physical also. Like women with guys.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

If a girl wears a nice smile and great personality that's all matters to me, I don't mind any girl of any shape, size, height, she can be taller, stronger then me and I would be all cool with that

[cth96190]

If I was not attracted, I would not risk rejection, nor would I invest resources in courting a female whose DNA I did not want in future children.

[Avicenna]

Almost zero- it would only if she's really ugly or is obese.

[Grond21]

If there isn't physical attraction, then I'm not going to pursue a relationship. Sometimes though, the physical attraction comes after getting to know someone. But I Will not pursue a girl unless it's there at the time of pursuing

[ArcadianBanks]

Quite a substantial one, I couldnt spend my life with, sleep with, have kids with someone that didn't physically attract me

[Phoenix98]

You have to have that sexual and physical attraction. Visuals and atheistic's are the first thing you see. If you ain't attracted to her you aren't gonna approach her.

[AustinMan]

Men are genetically programmed to be turned on by what they see, witness lingerie and porn. So it's the first trigger usually.

[Nawlins34]

It's critical, but I give mental attraction more weight.

I wouldn't be bother with a woman who has an amazing body/face with no mind.

[Ripper_E]

Upon first seeing someone, all you can see is their appearance. Until you get to know them, that's all you have. Are they physically attractive or not.

[Myk13]

Obviously looks are not everything. But I have accepted the fact that I am a little shallow regarding looks. Physical attraction is at least a 7 on a scale of 1-10 of importance.

[Liam_Hayden]

Well if she is obese of truly hideous, I won't pursue, but I also do not limit myself to beauty queens. Also, for me, 90% of it is mental. If she is intriguing to me that is far more important than her measurements.

[1828avaava1828]

Quite a bit. Luckily you’re smokin 🔥 😘

[WowwGirl]

Just trying to keep up with you Miss AVA

[1828avaava1828]

[WowwGirl]

It's easy because it's true

[1828avaava1828]

A big role, it takes the attraction to want to get close, to know more about the person.

[worldscolide]

Its the initial pull to get me to talk to someone after that the personality is what keeps me interested.. If the personality is trash it doesn't matter how physically attractive she is.

[AmeerX]

I think it plays 30-40% role but to be honest I am not sexually attracted to the people I get fond of. I like them despite their shortcomings, not because of their perfection

[Jamie05rhs]

It doesn't matter very much at all... if the attraction is there. But if there is no attraction, then there is Zero chance of a relationship ever happening.

[Anpu23]

It's what gets my initial reaction. Without that I may never even approach.

[elizamichale1]

i think quite a lot actually

[BrokenEMT]

I've always been attracted to the personality. Looks aren't that big of a factor to me.

[Wise4myage]

I think it plays a huge role, because in most instances Its looks who attract two people to each other in the first place.

[XavierSteele]

There has to be a good vibe, attraction is all in perception.

[Gwenhwyfar]

Some, but it’s not everything

[Fantastic_]

100% role. As in, if I am not attracted to her, a lot, then there's no point in spending romantic time around her. I don't understand why anyone would.

[TallAnon]

Physical attraction gets some up to a 6/10 in my requirements, lol. The rest has to be personality.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Very highly. If I don't find her good looking then nothing else matters.

[Benjr134]

I have to be physically attracted to someone but they could be attractive ego me and have a horrible personality. It’s a 50/50 thing.

[gandolph3]

Physyical attraction makes me look, but as i get to know her that won't be enough to keep me. Her personality anf attitude will do that.

[centerline]

totally as much as personality does...

[Cherokeehp]

60%.

[GreenGold1992]

The role is I have to feel physically attracted

[msc545]

A very significant role, unfortunately.

[Siavash_1990]

Looks are everything 100%

[CubaPirate]

It's right up there tbh

[krin_m]

It plays a very important role for me.

[JohnTheGoodMan]

It plays a role but can't say how much

[Duragalon]

Between 80- 95%
