How much do you care for looks?

I don't mind how my partner looks at all.

A little bit, but I'm willing to overlook if he/she is cool enough.

Not much, but wouldn't date someone whose's looks I don't appreciate at all.

Quite a bit. He/she doesn't have to be a Hollywood star, but I require some attractiveness.

I care a lot about looks, but I'd ditch someone gorgeous, but annoying for a cool and just pretty one.

Looks are really important to me, even more than other features.

I can't help but question people who say appearance doesn't matter in the slightest, unless they're the kind of person who's asexual but not aromantic. I'm sure there are underwhelming women and manly, manly men out there with whom I could be a close friend and live in a tiny apartment without hitting my head with a brick, but I can't force myself to sexually function if the spark ain't there. And maybe sex isn't a part of every relationship. That's cool. But damned if it isn't convenient to open the valve with your ring buddy.

And the nice thing about attractiveness is it's super subjective, so don't you worry your unconventional face about it. I for example have been told I have rather unusual taste. Not exclusively or anything, so just because I find you attractive doesn't mean you're an absolute gargoyle, but-- oh man, I'm digging a hole here.

I would never be in a relationship with someone who isn't attractive. I will fuck people who aren't attractive though. Then coyote ugly myself and hope there were no witnesses.

That said, attraction can come from things other than looks or personality.... like if shes rich, has a pet tiger or is the daughter of my arch-nemesis. :twisted:

edit- holy shit! re-reading this... I think I'm Aladdin. Well, 2 outta three I guess.

You mean like Carrie, who is 50% of those answers?

You'd think that if appearance didn't matter at all, you'd have to be asexual or bisexual. Otherwise, at the very least, the appearance a potential partner's genitals matters to you.

Appearance matters to me, but I also said I can find someone attractive in spite of an appearance I don't find attractive. I don't think not caring about appearance means you're asexual. For some people, there is a lot more to sexual attraction than visual attraction. For many people the visual part is necessary, but not for everyone.

For example, what if someone has been blind their whole life? Does that make them asexual? I doubt it.

Probably more of a "touchy, feely" type.

I chose number two, but I probably would be between two and three. I'm not going to pretend that I don't prefer physically attractive people. If someone looks like they emerged out of primordial ooze, I probably wouldn't consider dating them. If the relationship would become serious, I would prefer to find someone that would give a greater chance of any potential spawn to look relatively humanoid. Though, I do look more into qualities like temperament and friendliness.

And now I'm a bi adult male. What a difference three years make.

And I still identified as heterosexual and male when I posted, though I was an official legal adult person both then and now.

That he does.
