A Person's Look The Deciding Factor?

[Peter Tosh]

I was wondering this one day and i'm not really sure of the real answer so i'll pose the qustion to you guys. The question is if someone is potentially intrested in someone and are considering wanting to start a relationship with them, are the looks the deciding factor in which the person uses to make their decision? basicly do you think most people get involved with someone mostly becuase of their looks. I ask this question becaus i know people that are together and they fight constantly, and i mean constantly but they stay together. You look at them and your thinking.."wow, why are these two together, they have so many problems"

i'm not sure if my question makes sense to you all but if you need some clarification i will be happy to do so.....

It's what I feel around the person that keeps me hanging around. Not that I feel unabashed "goodness," but with my guy, I feel it all, so completely. I don't feel numb around him.

Of course he's beautiful, but beauty is bountiful.

No, looks are not the deciding factor, at least not for anyone I know. I think in the cases where couples fight all the time but stay together anyway, the couple is afraid of giving up a relationship that they have gotten so comfortable in. Maybe they are hoping it will get better, and they can work things out. Sometimes they can, sometimes they can't.

Definitely not in the way you describe - I would certainly not stay with someone if we were fighting all the time just because she has good looks. But, yeah, looks are part of the equation.

Looks are the factor which MIGHT cause the couple to meet but in the end its the personality which keeps them together so no looks are definitly NOT the deciding factor unless I somehow misunderstood the subject
