How important are looks to you in a S.O.?

[crownofjewels]

We all have this fantasy of what we want a future partner to look like, a certain look or image that we've dreamed about for years. But most of us are not that stunning, just normal and average ... If you look at a crowd of men sitting at Starbucks, probably only one or two would generally be deemed really handsome or hot and the rest might be average, bald, have a few extra pounds, be too skinny, etc. So as you grow old with the one you love do you really find that looks aren't all that important as personality and commitment, or do you often wish your partner could be a little this or a little that to fit your dream image?
Most of the guys that I have been asked out by are average-looking and have never really fit my "type." The boyfriend I have had was plain, but had personality and we still enjoyed the touch and had physical chemistry. But I still wonder how many people hold out for a greater degree of attractiveness in their partner or how important this really is. We are all getting older anyway and can't stop the aging process !

I know based on external opinions that my boyfriend isn't a Greek Adonis, but he is to me. And has an amazing personality to match which I think without a doubt is100% more important.
Looks don't make you kinder, funnier or a better lover. I was just lucky enough to find a guy I was insanely attracted to

It depends on who it is - literally.

My wife is drop-dead gorgeous to me, but under the circumstances that we met, I would still have talked to her, still have fallen in love with her if she weren't. Her face just speeded up the process.

Personality is much more important and I think a persons looks grow on you the more you fall for their personality. Although there are some guys who I just wouldn't date no matter how nice their personality because they are completely not my type looks wise, so I guess looks are still somewhat important.

I was very attracted to my wife's looks when we met in high school. She was just my type: 5'2" probably around 105 lbs, very petite, and gorgeous slender legs. She was HOT. 39 years later she still is. She is still very petite at about 112 lbs. I would say that looks are important to me. However, as others have said, what good are looks if the person is jerk. I am blessed to have a wife that is not only hot, but a lovely person. She is extremely easy to live with, very low maintenance, and we are best friends.
