I dont have a problem with looks. I consider brains, outlook in life and a bubbly personality perfect in a prospective partner. However, i'd walk pass obese even if it had all the qualities I've listed.

no i don't think looks shld play a dominant role in determining a prospective mate.although again i think it's important to pick som1 you truely are into. personality of the individual shld play a pivotal role.

I admire looks a lot ,coupled with good character.

Am so into looks. . . . I cant be this ugly and be following another ugly boy. thats calamitous i think

beauty is relative.

one size does not fit all _{even though it's true there are some universal standards of beauty}

they developed wings of fat hanging from their arms and their skin was traced with silvery stretch-marks - attributes considered the height of feminine beauty in Mauritania.

But they . . . said they were trying to lose weight purely for health reasons, not because it would make them more attractive.

Dr Mougiya said he encounters the same attitude when he holds seminars trying to persuade obese women to slim down.

"They tell me that if they lose weight their husbands will leave them because everyone knows that in Mauritania men prefer a fat woman."

Ahmed is the eldest of three daughters and the only overweight one. Her 22- and 26-year-old sisters are no larger than a size 4. In America, they would be envied for their tiny waists, yet their mother sees them differently.

Asked which daughter is the prettiest, she waves her hand dismissively toward the model-thin sisters, saying, “Definitely those two are not beautiful.”

Her oldest daughter, like her, has garlands of fat on her belly and voluminous thighs.

“This one,” says the mother, “has the face of a queen.”

My motto on life:

"She dont look good, I aint gone look"

Poster u wrote ur article like a diary lol.

That i luv looks doesn't mean i wont/can't/shouldn't date a plain faced girl(i didn't say ugly o). As far as i can hold ur gaze across the table(dinner) and u're ma type(i've got likes and dislikes too) and must be intelligent-it is a must, then we are good to go.

Good looks is good, but so is a good personality. I can date anyone who isn't exactly a looker but has a splendid personality. But don't get me wrong, 'worwor' has its degrees, you know. And i can only handle just a few.

Oh my, Vic, you like a girl that THINKS? Awww damn, THE END IS HERE! Good luck people!

Lol! Queen y not?

Well, I think with my brain and you was talkin about e-rappping me, so I just assumed you like a doll who just sit there dead, My bad!

No o! I'm not gr8 @ screwing corpses. I luv an active lady. Its jxt that u're so into ur husband, so i tot by force is the only left logical choice

Why would you want to e-rapppe someone's wife? Would you want someone to do that to your future wife?

Wont hurt, Wud it?

(laughing out loud)

Lol. Are u laughing @ma d1ck. Or what

O abi, is that what THAT was?  It looks like A WEEPING WILLOW, might want to put something on that!  

Queen U must be mistaking the zip for the main thing

Hello my brothers and sisters,
I make fun of ugly people any chance I get. Whenever I lay my eyes on an aesthetically mismatched couple, I begin to theorize about their situation, for example, maybe the beauty lost a bet at the casino, or the beauty owes a debt to the beast, and so on.
How can She look Herself in the face after creating people with faces only mothers can love.

I'm so dead! Rotfl          

Don't we all love them handsome/beautiful?
I'm a fan of Fine Face too. . . . .I mean, why should I settle for less?  
Something's got to attract your attention before you get close to them and begin to notice their good qualities.
That thing that attracts me, most times, is either looks and/or their knowledge [judging from their words].

When I decide to settle down, he must be Fine. Not necessarily drop-dead handsome but, at least, an 'okay' face.
I wouldn't want to regret or cheat.

my pastor would always say, look at the content inside the container and not the container, cause most times, the content might be rubbish while the body of the container is beautifully adorned

Everyplace IS NOT CALIFORNIA.  Have you lived there all your life? 

Because if you WERE NOT BORN IN CALIFORNIA you will know that basically The West Coast operates a whole lot differently than most of the rest of the World.

I have lived in 16 states within the U.S. by the time I turned 18 years of age.  The West Coast operates differently.  In Chicago your looks don't get you in the door especially when it comes to skills and abilities in a career job.  The looks go so far and then without brain, skill, education - you are BURNED LIKE DEAD WOOD - VERY FAST.

In regard to relationships - I have heard and seen MANY, MANY MEN marry ugly women. I was amazed, but they do and they are EXTREMELY HAPPY.  Because that "beast of a broad" and "ugly men too" will DO ANYTHING.  This is what I have seen and heard over and over again.

Myself personally if men aren't "butt ugly" - I will date them because looks NEVER LAST.  RARELY EVER.  Many factors turn those that were once "fine" to fat, old, ugly, scarred - the majority don't even recognize themselves up the road.  At 40 - washed up from drink and drug and bitterness of failed relationships they had with Beauty outside but Dirty/Putrid/Rotten Beast on the inside.  I have looked at friends of my parents when they were younger and today?  I'm like, "Who is This Person?"  That yesteryear syndrome - what they used to look like - you better remember it as it is alive and DOING QUITE well.

My thing is that when we walk down the street holding hands - if I have to explain you to other people who want to know why am I even in your presence, then I don't want to waste my time even associating with you.  For instance, if you talk loud and crazy, can't pronounce your words correctly (I don't do ebonics or however it's spelled), foul language, unkempt clothing, trying to be slick, breaking  your neck to look at other women passing by while you are with me, answering your cell phone instead of having it on silent.  G.O.O.D.B.Y.E.
