Would You Date Someone for Their Looks?

So, would you date someone for their looks?

This is really a trick question. You know the answer that you're supposed to say is, no, of course not, personality is way more important! But, how many people actually feel that way? Would you be able to go out with someone who is really awesome and funny but that you aren't physically attracted to? Or do looks trump all?

When I was a sophomore, I met one of my closest guy friends at a party. We spent the entire night together laughing and making asides about the annoying people we wish hadn't been invited. At the end of the night, when I was leaving, all of sudden he asked if I might like to go to the movies with him, you know, on a date. I was shocked. I just did not see him like that at all, and it hadn't occurred to me that he might actually be interested in me. I muttered some nonsense and never answered his calls but, somehow, a few years later he became my best friend.

I wonder what may have happened had we gone out on a date. I'm sure it would have been fun, but dates can be stressful as it is. Plus, if you know you're not interested in receiving a good night kiss, what's the point?

I did date a really hot guy specifically because he was a bad boy musician with fantastic hair, but we never seemed to have the same funny and in depth conversations Friend and I had. Even when I tried to think of Friend romantically I just couldn't. It didn't click. He didn't give me butterflies, although I laughed more at his jokes than anything Musician came up with. It didn't seem fair, and yet I couldn't change it.

I know I'm not the only person who's dated for looks (btw, why does it always seem like guys can admit to this, and girls get shamed if they do?). I guess at the end of the day we can't change who we're attracted to even if we feel lame about it.

Would you date someone for looks? Or better yet, would you admit it if you did?
