Our ability to smell is the most powerful and quickest acting of any of our senses, yet through evolution or something we've been trained to ignore it.

I've dated a model, a former porn star, a bunch of bisexual girls, cute girls, OK girls, and girls with 20 extra.

After a few months, so long as they're healthy I do not care about their looks, and in my experience, if they're hot, they tend to get more than a little entitled and selfish, and this bullshit will ruin your goddamned life and make you rue the day you put it inside them.

I think it's going to be a lot more important to a man than a woman regarding relationships due to gender roles. The man typically has to be the one to get the ball rolling. He has to approach a woman he's attracted to and initiate the conversation if she's a stranger. That's how our society is constructed, unfortunately. I wish it was a bit more androgynous...just a bit. That being said, 999 times out of 1000, the very first thing you're going to notice about someone is their image. It is this image that drives our curiosity and it's this curiosity that drives our feet to walk over to the woman and our lips to speak to her.

In general I don't care. As far as relationships go the person I most recently had feelings for her looks weren't what got my attention,though I would call her beautiful I'm sure some others wouldn't.

[Anima Mundi]

Yes, looks matter to me. There's a certain aesthetic I prefer and I don't think I could be in a relationship with someone who didn't have it. I want someone I can't take my eyes off of and be a personal muse of sorts.

[Melchizedek]

I have to say, I don't really get the people who say, "I'm not attracted to people for their physical traits." Gender IS a physical trait, so, unless you're pansexual or asexual, I'm skeptical. Clearly physical attraction is necessary for almost all of us in one way or another.

[Arbosis]

Yes, it's very important. It doesn't mean that I don't care of non physical attributes, in fact they are very important too.


She has to be brilliant and beautiful. Perfect.

Physical attractiveness is important but is not everything. I can be turned off very easily by a model looking woman that is a mean and selfish bitch.

It happened to me to be intellectually attracted by girls that were very physically unattractive to the point of wanting to have a relationship with them. I only tried that once but it didn’t worked out at all. I think you must be “physically” attracted to someone in order to have sex with them. It’s a physiological response that you cannot possibly control rationally…

[ThingInItsSelf]

The problem is what we call "attractiveness", we all have our own preferences that dont necessarily conform to standardised ideals of beauty. My partner gets to me, he is ridiculously sexy. After years together I still cant keep my hands off him. We shag at least once a day ... because in part I just can't say no to someone that looks that good =P.

Some of my friends have been very blunt in there assessment of his looks - they think he is wird looking, I'm out of his "league" (I really hate that expression). However they miss the point, he IS hot he IS sexy because that just how I see him. My perception is reality.

So are looks important? Well personally sex in a relationship is important and that means in part physical attraction. I wouldn't have the relationship I have if I didn't get hot and bothered by the way he looks.

[IrenaShav]

I have a strong preference for a certain body type. Very tall and fit. It makes me feel protected. Doesn't need to have a pretty face.
High self-confidence and nice personality are equally important.

[Nostalgia]

Physical attractiveness could be one of the many traits that can elicit sexual desires/attractions. This totally comes down to personal preferences. More importantly, I don't think anyone could/should compromise their own physical/sexual compatibility.

For me personally, aesthetics doesn't equate attraction, plenty of attractive people out there who doesn't possess/carry an iota of sex appeal. Yeah, it is a subjective thing. I enjoy looking at beautiful women/men, but I have no desire to fuck any of them, just because they are befitting magazine cover materials.

[RedN]

how can you have sex with a morbidly horrific monstrosity? or even look at such a person, when the sight can make you vomit?

so cut the hypocricy right, the physical matters - we just have different thresholds.

and everyone has a right to set that bar to whatever level they want, lower or higher
