    In the long term the compatibility and emotional connection is a big key. But during the initial phase of trying to attract a mate looks are essential. Men are especially are effected by their physical appearance. Daily we hear that women only want the top 10% of men. Tall, handsome, muscular, with the appearance of wealth and social status. 90% of men walking around are completely invisible to women. A woman's personal choice does come into the equation here. Which is perfectly fine and understandable. But the issue comes when they have to share the top 10% of men with other women. Actually some women are fine with this. Men who do not meet these high standards may not ever get a chance to show what they truly bring to a relationship because they are not given the chance to present these attributes. Only in their later years do women begin to lower their high standards when it's time for marriage and a possible family. Looks don't matter as much then. Only if he is a good man who can protect and be provisional. These relationships typically lack any true genuine physical desire for the man. That was saved for that guy in her past that brought absolutely nothing tangible to the relationship. But she gave him her all. The man she settled for experiences only transactional intimacy. She gives him only enough intimacy to keep him providing. A man is attracted to beauty and health. But had much rather have a woman who respects him and appreciates his efforts. When a man decided to get into a relationship, who ever he is dating is who he picks. Regardless what job she has or how much she makes. Is she kind, quiet, respectful, and does she bring him peace. So that guy in college in your friend zone. What ever happened to him. You knew he was interested in you. But he didn't have the physical characteristics you desired and he wasn't the Alpha Bad Boy that turned you on. What's he doing now ?

    You aren't even going to go out if there isn't physical attraction. Watch a few youtube videos on dating.

    There needs to be a baseline of attraction, yes… but you can actively choose who you go out with regardless of their looks. And giving someone who isn’t your normal type a chance may end up allowing you to meet the best person for you!
