Question: Do you think look is important in mating issues?
My opinion: All my life i always thought that IF I to like someone dearly to actually decide to marry that person, I would prefer his intelligence over his Looks. Now ask WHY? because what I think that looks are sure is a beautiful gift by Allah (s.w.t) a person has nothing to do with it himself or herself. Meaning, if one wants, he/she would create himself/herself the most beautiful person on planet. Whatever features Allah has given, one should be thankful and grateful.
Yes, that person indeed need to take care of that blessing that he is bestowed by Allah (s.w.t). You can’t be a slob and have brains and still want someone to get attracted to you.
I’ll say it goes both ways. Excess of everthing is bad. If too much of a brain and less worry to take care of himslef or herself, not good for relationship. If all he /she cares about is his/her looks than also problems.
So, bottom line, looks does matter BUT in a matter of how good a person is taking care of himself and herself, thats it!
Question: more important than intelligence and education?
Absolutely NOT! I know i am not Dumb nor beautiful. So, in that case i would prefer someone who is more upto my lev el of intelligence or more so we can communicate with eachother at proper level. Beauty lies in the eyes of beholder. For me beauty NEVER attracted on first sight. If i am to attracted to any guy in my life is always b/c of their intelligence. Looks comes later and I say u can always mold their looks after getting marrying to them
So, bottom line, NO I do not prefer LOOKS over Intelligence!
p.s i want my kids to be bright in school and do something better in their life using their Brains not looks (just a stupid thought)
all these things would mean Nothing to you if you got someone who doesn’t know How to Behave Well.. how to Treat you… you as a Person.
look for the Well Mannered person
agree with the other ladies - the looks take a backseat when you find someone from the opp. sex intriguing and are attracted by the way they carry themselves /think / care about you and others. Looks won't matter when you are 60 years old sitting in your rocking chairs playing with your grandkids :)
the bottom line is that the firstthing that attracts u to a person is his/her looks, then u move on to further exploring there personality. Now everyone has a diff def of attraction. Again over a long period of time like with your work collegues whom u keep meeting in and out, u might eventually end up looking beyond the person looks, if u r not initially atrracted.
fact: the more good-looking, rich, successful, famous a man is...the more likely he is to cheat.
to me a guy's intelligence is huge turn on. also his energy and enthusiasm. a charismatic personality just reflects on your face and makes ordinary looks stand out in a crowd in my opinion...
its a general statement evil…
no way does it apply to all men and there is also no way u can get a statistic on that.
reasons for it include the fact that richer, powerful, good looking men might have women all around them dying for their attention and such a man might think he can get away with this.
I don’t think this is necessarily true … however, I do believe that women who are with really attractive/successful men can sometimes be quite insecure in the relationship cause of all the female attention their man gets.

Should this be a sticky? Does any one disagree with the above?
If this is true 90% of the times then are you saying 90% of the time women will be a partner in cheating if the man is good looking, rich, successful and famous?
But i thought women go for “inner beauty” and not looks and personality?
! mehnaz and evil were ganging up on me!
