and yet more religious God crap on this site. The rules clearly state that religious quotes are not allowed. Peddle your silly beliefs elsewhere please

and I agree with "teil0" 100%. Appearance absolutely matters and should come into play when choosing a partner. I'm a fitness freak. I don't eat any processed or un-organic food. If I were single, I wouldn't bother looking at someone who is grossly overweight or in any way out of shape....clearly, they wouldn't be willing to share my love of a healthy lifestyle. And they wouldn't have the ability to enjoy sports and adventure with me.

This is not entirely true. Part of a person's personality is how they take care of themselves, the dignity with which they comport themselves. In this way, their personality intersects with their appearance, and is and should be a significant factor in how you consider them.

This is very well said.
