How important are the looks of a potential partner to you?

I haven't met anyone that has no inner beauty

You need to get out more.

Seconded. And even if everyone's got at least little, that really doesn't justify the rest of it.

Well they're my partner, right, so it's somewhat of a requirement that I want to sleep with them. That's about it. No specifics or whatever, just sexually attractive, to me.

This might sound shallow and narcissistic, (which i probably am. ) but i would love to have a guy that looked similar to me (height, frame, baby face) but it's true. When I chose my display icon, I was like drooling. I love feminine boys like that, So yeah i guess looks are pretty important. *Pets DI*

As far as looks goes, the only real requirement is hygiene.

After that, my tastes in males differs from my tastes in females. The body-builder, chiselled-chest look doesn't do it for me, with the noticeable exception of Geoff Tate of Queensryche. I usually prefer femme-bois or pretty boys.

For females, I like redheads, but that's not a requirement. My wife used to dye her brown hair red and end up with this just wonderful auburn shade. Ye gods, but it was sexy. I don't necessarily find waif-thin women attractive. Right now, my wife would classify as a BBW. I guess that's why I find BBW's in general to be attractive now: they remind me of her.

Actual looks aren't that important to me.  I don't have a physical "type".  My big turn-ons are a twisted sense of humor and a decent I.Q.

lol pica.  yea, i supose i could be kindof tiring.  maybe i tire myself and that why i sleep so much. >_>

Physical fitness and good hygiene are a must. I just have trouble respecting people that don't show they care about their appearance. There also has to be at least some mutual physical attraction as well. I suppose I actually am pretty vain and I have probably never dated a girl or even been interested in a girl that is not at least a decent step above average. I consider that a personality flaw I hope will slowly melt away as I mature more. I am definitely more open-minded than I was two years ago about who I would considering dating.

To me, personality and compatability are the important things.
Beauty is only skin deep.

Simply put, I'm not in this for looks. Any person could look fabulous if they are devoted entirely to their image... but it takes a real character to be the part.
