Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health Normally I only go out with women I know I am attracted to before I even get to know them, but recently I was thinking that maybe I'm missing out on meeting the right woman if I do that?
I moved into a new apartment a while back and a woman lived across the hall who would always flirty with me and it was obvious she wanted me to ask her out. At first I had no interest in asking her out at all. She is in decent shape, but not great, never wears dresses or skirts (she said so), and she never does anything with her hair, just either straight or in a pony tail. However one evening I ran into her and we flirted playfully like we always do but I was kinda horny so I went ahead and asked her out and we went out. She was really cool and we had a lot of fun, though she had a lot more liberal moral beliefs so I never asked her out again.
I still enjoy our conversations and playful flirting if we run into each other taking our dogs out, and sometimes I even find myself wanting to ask her out again, but I have to remind myself it would never workout because our beliefs are too different. However, it did get me wondering, are looks really all that important?
On the one hand I think, if I can put in the effort to be muscular and lean why can't she? If I can dress fashionably, why can't she? If I can learn how to style my hair, why can't she? On the other hand, I think that if I can be attracted to a woman who doesn't even wear dresses or style her hair once I get to know her, then maybe I should give other women a chance who do dress and act like women, but just aren't quite as attracted as the women I normally go out with.
When you guys date an attractive woman, do you stop really caring how attractive she is after a while and it just matters if she's fun and feminine? Have you ever given someone a chance that wasn't as attractive as you normally date, then ended it because you lost interest?
Guys, How much do looks really matter in a long term relationship?

(31)It is like everything you always look at the package first
yup and I usually send them a pic of mine to make sure
for me its not about what she looks like i love my partner for many reasons. that of her personality and the fact she makes feel at ease and comfortable just being with her. yeah ok her body is also a part of the fact but most of all all that put together and the fact we can have a good laugh together. beauty is more than skin deep.
looks:101%
personality:-1%
if ur chad, u can piss on a woman's mouth and spit on her in the first meeting and she'll still suck you off
if she's a model but she's dumb as fuck i might want to tap that ass but as far as having a relationship - fuck no. Plus, this old japanese proverb
"A beutiful wife is like a beutiful house - everyone would rush inside and steal something. a decent house have a lower risk" < DITTO
they matter a lot. only the naive and foolish think otherwise.
As I get older looks matter less to me, it's about ensuring me and any potential woman share the same values because that's more important to me.
Average face with good body is definitely good enough.
Your partner has to be appealing enough that they turn you on. They don't need to take your breath away when you don't really know them. Good body means if things got physical and clothes started dropping you would be thinking -YES-
Initial meeting: Looks matter 80% and personality 20%
Long Term: Looks 40% and Personality 60%
People are shallow. in this generation.
I mean you don't want to stare at a dead fish forever right? at least someone that you find attractive to
Buts it's a sliding scale there's fat whales and super models out there, but most women fall somewhere inbetween.
