What really matters to you..

I've recently been having this debate with a friend and figured I'd get some input from you all. Are looks really that important?

Yes they are. Important for what? For the duration of the relationship?

Looks lead to constant attraction and more pleasurable sex, which leads to higher oxygen intake, leading to higher dopamine levels in the brain and general happiness.
The number one reason for breakups is lack of sexual satisfaction. If you have someone you are not that attracted to, looks are surely going to help.

How do I know this? I've experienced the drug of love myself. It's intensely delicious when you are attracted to someone.

People who go around trying to find excuses for the non-importance looks are really just feminists or beta men.

Well I was meaning in general in all aspects of life from love relationships to work. In my opinion better looking people overall get treated better and even those with the biggest hearts often get overlooked because they aren't as attractive to sociatal standards. It's unfortunate
@WanderLustChick: You are quite right about that and I have literal experience of it.

When I was abroad wearing relaxed 3/4 skating trousers, people would address me as: "Hey, kid" and would highly disregard me and my presence.

Now that I wear a suit with tie all the time, people (everyone!) are all like: "Right this way sir", "Oh, excuse me sir", "Sorry for the wait, sir", "Is this seat taken, sir?", "Would you like a business invoice, sir?", "Are you the CEO?". Oh my God, that last one.. it just says it all.

Everywhere I go (even for my university internship) I am constantly reminded to conform to the norm or higher.

Case in point, people judge you by the cover.
