Looks and features of a person!

Speedysid
By Speedysid

Why do looks and features play an important role in any relationship?

Would people prefer to be with an average looking person/ less than average, who's a nice person at heart or a nice looking person , who may not be a good person... and for whatever your answer, can you justify so?

Relating an incident which happened long time back, It was funny when some people look at an acquaintance of mine and said "Oh, he has a crooked nose-He must be sinister in his thoughts" when actually, the person that I speak of is the most kindest of all...

Recently too, I came across such an incident, and wondered -"Why do people do this?"

People are funny..but I ain't laughing! :P

There is no one rule when it comes to attraction and love..

People can be attracted on the basis of looks, come together , fall in love and stay together..

good looking men or women are generally snobs...seems they dont care of what the others think about them.

moreover, they get what they want in life probably because of their looks...money, fame and love

while the ugly ones or the average looking ones have to strive hard to get the same.

its an ugly truth..well, truth is always ugly.

some people like pricks.. I know some girls who are turned on by that...they refuse being with super nice guys.. I know that sounds weird to many of you here.. but this is life..everyone goes for what they like.

i say it is a combination of looks,personality,fame, wealth, intelligence that the other sex looks for..

Looks usually are what gets a person initially interested in another. after that it depends on what else is discovered.

Of course, there are cases where it is only about looks, but those do not last.

When two people bond/love deeply, they see perfection in the one they love, ie in each other. maybe not be visible to others.

ITS NOT THE OUTER BEAUTY THAT IS THE POINT HERE...GOOD LOOKING AND NOT SO GOOD IN THE EYES IS NOT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE LOOK AT EACH OTHER. ITS THE ATTRACTION, ITS THE APPEARANCE ON HOW A PERSON PRESENT HIM/HERSELF TO OTHERS.

THE SELF-CONFIDENCE, GOOD PERSONALITY, POSITIVE OUTLOOK IN LIFE IS WHAT MAKES A COMPLETE THE LOOKS & FEATURES OF A PERSON.

THERE ARE NOT GOOD LOOKING PEOPLE BUT IF THEY HAVE THE QUALITIES YOU WILL FORGET THEIR APPEARANCE.

back to the topic.....

I honestly believe beauty is skin deep and ugliness goes to the bone

For example, a female might be gorgeous but tends to be mean, selfish and arrogant, which makes her NOT pretty.

Another may be average in appearance and be your best friend because he or she has a good heart.

Looks will fade away but not the kindness of the heart.

I have seen a lot of good looking people, some with a good heart, most are ill-mannered.

Never compare a (mid)good-looking person to a drop dead gorgeous one... Comparing leads to confusion. IMO.

It depends on the what kind of relationship we are talking about. Casual relationships - casual approach to looks, heart, mind & soul. Serious ones...well, do your homework properly, irrespective.

If the supply is low, demand will be high.. Simple Economics

So do a market survey and see which type of guys are less in number, become one of that kind..

well...I dont agree that all good looking people are bad..and all not so good looking people are good...:)

Looks creates the first impression...we will know about the character of a person only when we get to know him well...its quite natural for everyone to wish that their partner to be good looking...:)

Reality is when we like someone he/she will be the most beautiful person on the earth for us...we don’t see any flaws in them...

Looks were not a priority for my man... but God was generous....:)

In the initial stages maybe looks matter. But in the long run, it's the communication, how you interact, how much you value and respect each other feelings and thoughts that seals a relationship.

As the saying goes.. "true beauty radiates from within". When we talk about beauty our outright perception would be physical.. it shouldnt be that way. Real beauty is having a good attitude & self-confidence. Physical beauty fades..

IMO, if you get to know a person over a period of time, looks don't matter.

To be honest, when I was in college, I always wanted a good-looking gf. Even though I have never considered myself God's gift to womenkind, I didn't really date the average looking ones. That said, I NEVER ridiculed their looks either.

I'm a different person now... looks don't matter to me no more ;-)

your bro is funny! However I am a believer of the fact that what is one's heart will always shine on the outside one way or the other. Haven't we all met a person who may not be everyones idea of "classical" beauty but who's very aura just makes you feel "what an amazing being you are"? truly beauty is in the eyes of the beholder..

It feels bad even when I hear ppl make fun of other ppl's features which are deemed hurtful.... If someone is blessed with good looks and all, they should be thankful for that...but should not go and make judgements on other ppl!

My younger brother was going to Mumbai to see a girl -

Brother - Dont look for beauty, beauty is temporary.

Brother said - I know sister, but ugliness is permanent.

Only a joke -

I agree, one should not judge a person by his look alone.
