Physical appearance matters more that anything

People constantly say that "it's what inside that counts" but I find this to be so hypocritical. I mean yes it might make the person feel better but unfortunately it isn't really the reality. When you meet people, most of them first judge you based on your physical appearance (this is very true of the people I've met so far except for a few exceptions). And judging based on physical appearance, they make their conclusions and decide to do immature things like ignore or avoid the person. So what do you guys think? Isn't physical appearance something that counts more than gold? Don't most people make their judgments based on physical appearance?

no, most people don't. maybe you're superficial, but others aren't. of course we base initial attraction on appearance because that's all we have to go on, but right after the first 5 seconds it IS what's on the inside that counts.

dude this is the way I see it... imagine your walking down the street and you see the perfect girl(I dono what urs would look like, ima go with mine) 5'7 long black hair long long tan legs and blue eyes:0. So you turn around and let her know you noticed her and all of a sudden she smiles at you and she has no teath, their all missing. At that point what you want to know is how you could get out of that situation. but why would you leave if her personality is soo nice lmaoo. I guess where shallow. other then that fine girls with bad personalities are the biggest turn offs in the world. it makes me want to shoot myself

Ok for one. Beauty on the outside will let you live an easier type of lifestyle because people give more hand-outs to pretty people. It's a known fact so why fight it. But can you make and keep friends/significant others with just looks alone? I think not. Yes I think looks on the outside count for a lot but personality is what you fall in love with. As for friends I don't personally enjoy keeping super ugly/fat friends around me even if they have a great personality. I find self-respect very enlightening and if they don't have it then I don't want to see them it just gives me a headache. I'd much rather deal with an idiot or b!tch than a super ugly person. That probably makes me shallow but so be it. That's the way I feel.

you sound a bit contradictory...you say you find "self-respect very enlightening" but at the same time you say "I'd much rather deal with an idiot or b*tch than a super ugly person"...actually that sounds completely contradictory...
