How important are good looks to you in judging the quality of a potential romantic partner?

[BrightBubblyKat]

Would you only date someone hot, or would you date someone ordinary looking or cute, if they matched you intellectually and met your standards personality wise?

I'd date:

• 6 - 10 (subjectively)
  
  She just has to be that and courteous, kind, and open minded. Has to be enthusiastic. Has to be someone who focuses on positive stuff, most don't.
  If one is constantly talking about things they don't want for themselves or others, they are focusing on negativity.
  
  I really do think most people underestimate kindness and leaving someone with the impression of increase. Most don't really have those two qualities. Everyone thinks they do though. This why I can't care about looks. It's rare enough to find someone truly kind. But I can't date someone I completely have but sexual attraction too. I'll be unhappy.

[BrightBubblyKat]

That’s fair enough. I think we’re all like that.

Most of the best people I've known, and the best girls I've dated, were pretty average in the looks department. Aesthetic beauty is great for initial attraction, but so often high levels of aesthetic beauty comes with ugly personalities, and no matter what a person looks like, 3 months into your relationship, it's their personality that's going to matter to you.

it's the good looks in your eyes only that are important when choosing someone, you will see attractive things that maybe no one else will see,

I have dated many women who were great people despite being ordinary in their physical appearance.

For me it really comes down to their personality.
Beauty fades over time, but dumb is forever.

[BrightBubblyKat]

Judge Judy said that. So true.

[Fireguy17]

Yes she did.
it was true then and true now.

[BrightBubblyKat]

So true 😊👍

The most important thing for me is if she not a ho, for it's also fairly important if she not ugly.

looks can only get you so far the rest depends on your personality what you have to offer

[BarryLiverstone]

There will always be a baseline where looks matter

[BrightBubblyKat]

Agreed. I’ll date anyone from ordinary looking to cute.

[BrightBubblyKat]

But I don’t date men I perceive as being ugly

[BarryLiverstone]

Yep most people are not into someone ugly

[BrightBubblyKat]

No. Ugly is the line for me. The uncrossable line.

[BarryLiverstone]

Yep that’s what I just said

[Nikki1989]

Meh, 25% at the most.

Figure matters not look.
