How much importance do you give to physical appearance?

Of course I pay attention to physical appearances; I would be lying if I said I did not outright reject dates because of it. Most of the time I would look more for the overall appearance of the person rather than focus on one aspect. Mostly the face, then height and weight. If a guy is not tall enough for my liking (I especially cannot date someone who is shorter than me or even my same height), then I don't think I can get over that fact. Same with obese people. I do have a few standards, and I usually use myself as a base, such as I personally take care of myself, so I expect the same from the other person (clean clothes, clean shaven, etc).

There has been some cases where I would be friends with a person in the beginning then grow to have stronger feelings. Those are normal as well, and that's when my physical appearance standards start to change (like noticing other features) because I already know that person has an overall nice disposition, enough for me to remain good friends for that length of time.

We're all a little shallow inside I suppose.

How ya doing, buddy?
