Scantily clad Romanian women. It didn't show up for me at first either. http://i51.tinypic.com/24lolfm.jpg

Looks matter to me in so much as they reflect the person's inner self. I can't abide girls with bleached blonde hair and tanned leathery skin and layers of makeup, because it reeks of obsession with appearance, and belies true depth.

But on the flipside, I cannot stand women who are fat or utterly unkempt, because it says they're too apathetic. Fat is especially crucial, because obesity signifies sloth, and inevitably leads to poor health.

The middle is for me...a woman who is likes to look pleasing to others, but has the confidence to know she has much more to offer.

I'm not going to lie, looks are very important if not crucial. by "looks" here I don't mean physical beauty though - tbh I find classically beautiful men quite off-putting. it's something that really escapes definition. something like a mixture of self-confidence and charisma.

having said that though I have to admit that I wouldn't give a second look to a reverse-bulb shaped or an overweight man.

Looks aren't the only thing that's important when it comes to relationships, but for me they do come first. I mean you can usually tell whether you find someone physically attractive straight away, whereas you need to get to know them for the rest to come.


It's my understanding that this is generally true for men, but often the reverse is true for women. I rarely find someone attractive physically before getting to know them. I recognize that I'm not exactly the pinnacle of typical, though, and that it's more common for a woman to be able to operate both your way and mine (physical attraction then personality attraction, or personality attraction then physical attraction).

Will you women STOP GROWING!!

I am five foot ten. When I was young that meant that I was taller than half the men and almost all of the girls.

Now teenage boys tower over me.
Teenage GIRLS tower over me.

To REALLY add insult to injury, Chinese GIRLS are taller than I am.

What do they feed kids these days?

Looks are pretty important to me. I wouldn't date someone I'm not physically attracted to.

Physical attraction is important. But that doesn't always depend on the looks or just the looks.

Although I've got to fancy a man, looks is still not the most important thing I look for in a man (although I look for looks to a certain degree). The most important thing I like in a man is his body size. I like him to be bigger than me. Doesn't matter if they're fat - as long as they are anywhere over an inch taller than me and are more wider than me. I am a very slim person, but taller than average, which I hate. So if I go about with a man who is taller and bigger than me, I feel more like a woman and more smaller :D

But it's not only that. I also like men who can drive. It's just a turn on to be waiting for my man to pull up in his car and take me for a ride, and to a posh restaurant.....oh yeah!! !
