Is physical appearance matter In dating ?

do you know the difference between a weed and a flower ? ?
they eye of the beholder

best wishes on your hunt

and besides i really hope not cause appearances fade over time
skin droops , winkles appear , fat comes in to all the wrong places
i can go on , but i think ya get the jest

i mean if the lady i loved got in to a accident and got dismembered or something
i wouldnt stop dating them because of it , they are still the same person
<shrug>

but it takes all kinds to make a world

I don't judge on looks.It is the personality that matter in my book.

Yes, it does matter, a lot. If someone's appearance isn't attractive to you it's going to be difficult to. If someone's physique is off-putting, forget it.
Now what is considered 'not attractive' and 'off-putting' is partially defined by society, but also very personal.
But physical appearance is definitely important. It's what usually attracts someone to you.

To be honest, this question is what we call "kicking in open doors". It's quite logical and self-explanatory.

Very nice to say, but not realistic.

I certainly wouldn't date someone that I'd be ashamed
to be seen in public with.

Why would you want to date someone you are not attracted to?

Seriously? No one has ever become interested in someone they weren't originally attracted to, but got to know them and were attracted by who they were as a person? It's interesting that how you originally viewed them can change when you click in other ways.

I believe it does matter to most people.

(If it wasn't, there would be a lot of Cosmetic surgeons out of business.)

That can happen yes, but then it usually in a situation where you get to be somewhere around them more often so there's that time to notice their behaviour and who they are, like the workfloor or school or at friend's etc.
I doubt it happens through dating that way a lot as you wouldn't go on a date with someone you're not attracted to.

Hella yea! I used to think that looks don't t matter but they do , to a point. I mean if they are good looking but don't t have much of a brain or have a crappy personality that automatically cancels out how handsome they are.

People are attracted for many reasons looks aren't the only reason to be with someone. Can you imagine being with the best looking fellow and find out how bland and boring he was. Or oh gosh Lord forbid not have anything in common other then they make your poker peck up . I think looks fade time is harsh. If you are just looking for the outter shell try looking deeper that's what counts. I look for a wonderful personality and great conversation. I want someone to to make love to my mind. We all have our preferences some like blonde some like brunette. And some want muscle bound or tall and lankey. Bearded or clean shaven but inside is what makes them who they are.

I don't really have any preferences, when it comes to eyes or hair colour or body shape. Okay, too slim is not good.

What's inside is what mainly counts. And a nice voice. A smile on the inside, so to speak.

well said.
for me there are a few categories, with a few boxes to tick in each.

It's easy to go for physical attractiveness, and be blinded to character faults until you are already involved.

Having said, it is important to a certain degree.

the face is the most important.

Physical appearance does matter in the beginning, it attracts each other but when you learn more about that person it does not, that's why literal blind dates and the internet can be a beautiful thing though they are filled with fake people and those who want to use you... when you learn to love that person they can put on 500 pounds almost literally and as long as their heart did not change you love them thick or thin

To me, yes it is.
Physical appearance includes:
- attractive to me.. easy on the eyes
- well-groomed.. trimmed facial hair, clean clothes and shoes
- average weight.. not too thin and not too fat
- average height (I am 5'2) - so taller than me but not too tall
- good hygiene.. clean teeth, freshly showered, and use deodorant
- nice smile.. no missing teeth

If one doesn't care about their appearance while dating, imagine how they would be when you are living together.

My two cents.
