On a scale of 1-10 how important are looks to you when looking for a bf/gf?

I am with Wrenna on this one...Of course looks are important, it's important how a person looks to ME (not by any general opinion or standard). But there is a lot more to a person than their body just as there is much more to a happy and lasting relationship than sex. For me it's a lot more about who the person is (demeanor, personality, interests, mind-set, beliefs, and so on), if I am attracted to her in those ways then her physical appearance falls easily into place...love perpetuates lust and not the other way around for me (and she doesn't have to be "perfect" for me to be turned on by her either). Initial interest is just that, an interest, that may get it started but it takes a lot more to keep that interest and grow it into attraction. It's a 4 or 5 for me also.
