As the saying goes.....Your looks are your first impression on others. Do you agree with this?
 
Yes it is but as we grow older we realise that behaviour,culture are important not just looks.
 
It depends on age, gender, situation and culture. But they do matter in short.

looks is an advantage. It can give you an edge from others. But it has a short term effect if you have nothing else to offer.
 
It gives you the initial advantage over others. After the initial infatuation, it depends on the person's personality.

Just a pretty face is not enough if it is not backed up by a healthy body, mind and personality.
 
I don't consider myself a good looking guy but there is a girl who keeps on staring at me.

How important are looks in professional life?
 
Depends on the situation. But in general people with good looks tend to get preferential treatment than others in office and social life.

Some people judge politicians based on looks. Imran Khan does have a few admirers who think he is great based on his looks

Actually, its kind of confused look. I don't know why but it feels like she is trying to get my attention which I don't give her because I like her friend and once I was looking at her friend and she might have mistaken it for herself.
 
One of my cousins once said, Looks are extremely important and we should not marry someone who doesn't look good but is good from inside, as we don't have xray vision :))

This was just a joke btw. Personality is way more important.

may be you resemble her ex.

may be she is one of the girl you used to date but forgot. Now she's trying whether to take revenge or not since you don't even remember her.

may be she is a creep.

may be she looks at the guy that is behind you.

may be she is looking because she can't fathom how "ugly" a person can be.

may be she is looking because she wants to validate her existence by proving that there's atleast one person who is below her in the pyramid.

LOOKS will be the last option in this regard.

I sit at a very strategic place where there is no one behind me so we can rule out that one.

Go and ask her out if you like her.

If you do not like her as a GF, then call her sister and put an end to the meaningless one sided love story.

our boy surely wants to date her otherwise he wouldn't have THIS much of thought into it.

ideal conversation (worse scenario):

him: .... um.... would you like to go out for a coffee?

her: .... i am in a relationship.

him: well.... It's just a coffee. I didn't ask for a relationship or did I (with a smile in his face). Can't colleagues have a cup of coffee together?

She will be the one who will be embarassed instead of him.

You are being a love guru.
 
Important but like 25%, the overall package is the most vital think eventually.
 
Looks are the first thing guys notice, thats why they get hooked immediately, they look at other factors later hoping they will be there but you don't see many guys looking at the other boring factors first.

I was very very fortunate to find someone who ticked most boxes
 
Only based on looks daft ppl can get to higher places (e.g Prime Minister or President of a country) and keep on twisting facts in their advantage. This just creates a teenager cult following, who are unable to see beyond the ‘good looking dumb leader’.

I agree ,also men put lot more emphasis on looks than women ,many important sectors throughout world like corporate/professional sectors, academia etc are still dominated by men so looks are more important than they should be.
 
I have attended a few employment recruiting events where women who looked attractive and presentable got in the good books of recruiters much easier in comparison to the nerdy looking girls.

You forgot that she's seemingly interested in me not vice versa.

Lol you are putting ghee on fire :))
 
In what context specifically ?

In general for all situations, looks really do not matter as much as people say.

the first impression is not always as important as you think

looks are very overrated, you can find many good looking people, but is the personality is what remains and attracts people
 
Looks are important for women. Men just need personalities (although look definitely helps).
 
Good looks ALWAYS help in any situation; research on schoolteachers has shown them to be not only kinder to the cute kids but also more strict to those who were not.

But good looks and brains come very rarely, and if so, with a penchant for upsmanship.
