Keeping personality out of the question, one of my guy friends said that it doesn't matter if a girl is super ugly or not but if she has a good body she can score guys. Is that true.. somewhat? How does that make any sense? If someone can argue for both sides for this viewpoint, that would be awesome.
For one thing, there is no universal standard of beauty. One guy might find a girl amazingly hot while another finds her completely unappealing.
Personally speaking, there have to be certain levels of attractiveness in all areas. Face is a big one for me, an ugly face is an instant turn off. Bad teeth, too much makeup, just certain facial features. I am more forgiving on body than on face.
Honestly speaking, I am more likely to find a girl not attractive who other people do than find a girl attractive that other people don't. Everyone has their own standards, some people (mine) are pretty high.
It also varies with your own personal attractiveness and self esteem. Some guys will date a girl who they are less attracted to because they think they cant or actually cant do any better. Some guys like a girl who has a great personality or high intelligence and care less about appearance. I have my own standards of beauty but I do have high standards in all regards.
I developed those standards because I can afford to. I am an attractive guy who is highly intelligent and a good bit to offer a girl personality wise. If you meet higher standards you will have higher standards because its easier to attract the opposite sex.
Similarly, if I were someone who could not meet high standards, I would have lower standards myself because the girls I like would not be attracted to me.
I will also say, that standards change as you get older. I have much higher standards than I used to. I am more confident in myself than I was when I was in high school or starting college and I was a bit more socially awkward. This is pretty true of most people. As you date you learn what you like and you refuse to accept anything less. [ WittyUsernameHere's advice column | Ask WittyUsernameHere A Question ]

Good body or not.. guys dont want her with an ugly face. Even ugly guys are shallow, which is pretty dum since they have nothing to back it up with. If an ugly girl does score guys then it means that those guys obviously didnt think she was ugly, they might not have thought she was gorgeous or beautiful or hott but at least okay looking and her personality made up for that. But it does matter if a girl is ugly..because she will have a hard time dating. [ OhMyPEACHYKEEN's advice column | Ask OhMyPEACHYKEEN A Question ]

If a guy is just looking to have sex with her, he may not care how ugly her face may be, as long as he likes her body. Sounds ridiculous I know, but I've heard of situations like that. Honestly, if a guy thinks that at all, that's stupid & you wouldn't want to be with him anyway. I personally think someone's face is a lot more important, but if they are just looking for sex anyway, they probably don't care.
