Another way to look at looks is that physical attractiveness serves as a gateway to something more important. Research indicates that when people make real-life dating and mating decisions, physical appearance dominates and relationships that are pursued the most are with those who are attractive (Fugere, 2017).

How important should Looks be in a relationship?

Even though looks may help with a first impression, the most essential thing in a relationship is how your partner supports you and brings you joy. Simply looking at physical attributes is a shallow mindset, and one should broaden their view on appearance by getting to know someone regardless of how they look.

Does look matters in love?

Psychologist Kanan Khatau on a lighter note says, “Love is blind but eyes arent. Having said that, I feel when you look presentable you do that to fill your own emotional need. It may be politically correct to say that it is love that actually matters but deep down, we all know instinctively that looks matter too!
