Do You Even Care About Looks Before Liking Or Dating Someone? **Disclaimer:** *Inside this article is my personal preference and opinions, I don't intend to discriminate (black people) as Asian people are into white (but not all) or to encourage people to have the same opinion. Nor I discriminate those who have physical deformities, I highly respect and salute them for being strong despite their appearance. Read at your own risk.*
In dating, I think most care about pleasing personality first before minding the attitude, I mean we were attracted to looks first before knowing attitude. For me I tend to go out with those attractive ones before, I care about looks because I am not that beauty queen type, so I have to find a good match of genes to pair with mine to have good results lol. My motto before was *“Always think about the future generations looks, especially your child”.* I admit I don't go with guys who are less attractive than me, I was thinking what if he impregnates me without plans, I care for my future child's appearance.
Why do I care about looks? First off, my future child's appearance is my concern, and why I am so concerned with my child's appearance? When I was younger I look very ugly, I am untidy because I used to work on the farm with my mother. We used to plant corn, sugarcane, rice, sweet potato, etc. I was exposed to sunlight causing my skin to darken. I don't have nice clothes to wear because we are poor, we cannot afford to buy new clothes from time to time, no skin care and etc. Because of that, I look ugly in the eyes of people, and.. more reasons occur why I was concerned with my children's appear. To avoid being bullied I want my child to have a pleasing personality, so they will avoid getting bullied by people because they are ugly. Some people are ruthless, bully, and judgemental, when you look uglier or have physical deformities they'll make fun of you. Some will make you laughing stuff just like those people who make fun of other people on social media because of their physical disabilities. To avoid being the primary suspect of a crime Some people will accuse those ugly people first if there are crimes that happen or even if there is no crime yet, they'll suspect you already that you'll do worse if you have an ugly appearance. It's like your appearance has been the basis of trust or your character in general, some will think you have an ugly face then probably you'll have an ugly character as well. Most people will point their fingers first at the ugly ones compared to those who have pleasing personalities. People will like to accompany those who have pleasing than those nonpleasing personality I remember my cousin before, she used to deny me at school that we were cousins because I was untidy as I don't have nice clothes to wear and my skin is darker. When we have relative reunions, they'll call me “lagum” it's a Visayan word for black or untidy (well this is just in our country as Asian mostly likes white people) but I don't call black people ugly. Forgive us, it's in our culture that we are into white because we we're conquered by Spaniards long time ago, and that our native believe that white and having long nose are handsome and beautiful. Usually, my friends when I was still a grade-schooler, are the same as me. Those who have a darker complexion and don't have nice clothes to wear. Some people who believe they are pretty don't like to hang out with us who are untidy in their eyes. Pleasing personality have more opportunities This one hits you when you're already an adult finding job or any opportunities, in our country it always requires a pleasing personality. If you are not pleasing in their eyes you will not be qualified especially if you are applying for a certain position that requires beauty. If you have a good height you'll have many opportunities even if you didn't finish a bachelor's degree, I encountered this when I was applying for a job in Manila. If you are pretty and handsome opportunity is always there but if you are less attractive, don't have a better height, fair skin color complexion you will always be discriminated against. That's the harsh truth of reality, especially if you are not born with a silver spoon pleasing personality is an asset to have more opportunities. Closing Thoughts So I will be blunt to admit that I matter physical outlooks because I want my child to have plus when they grow, to avoid getting bullied, and to have more opportunities in life. After all, we are not rich, that we can provide an opportunity to them. They will look for it and make their own fortune, and I think having beauty is a plus. I even think finding afam (foreigner) before so I can have a good offspring lol. But I was never single since 18, so no more space for afam 😂 but I did chose a carrier of genes that is good enough to pair with mine. I know beauty is relevant, we all have unique beauty but I want my child to be on the majority standard of beauty so they'll never be out of place, or they can compete or have a good spot in the society, although we should not mind society we can never deny the fact it can affect our growth. If ever, I've got a special child (with some physical problems or anything, I hope not) I will do everything to protect them, embrace and love them. But as much as possible I want them to be normal, so they'll not suffer much in this cruel world. In Jesus Name, Amen. So how about you? Do you matter physical appearance before liking someone? P.S my noise. The cash guide is still in progress, so I'll publish this finished draft. Thank you for reading!

Hahahaha oo nga kanya kanya preference naman yan, iniisip ko kasi talaga magiging anak ko kaya mahalaga sakin appearance habang buhay nila dadalhin mukha nila hahahhaha!
I had smiled reading this. I used to be so ugly and burnt by sunlight before. Even during college but I wasn't bullied because I fight back. I had this small but terrible awra that no one dare to bully 😁😁 you are very reasonable person I guess. I hope you could find want you wanted.
Hahaha mabait kasi ako before when I was a kid 🤣 I am always target with bullies. Hehe I already find it nman and I am satisfied 😊
Wow congrats 🎉 dapat padamihin lahi para Hindi sayang.
Jusko hirap mag alaga eh 😂😂😂 isa pa nga lang ngarag na ako 🤦
Hahaha go momshie kaya mo Yan.. fighting 💪
..me too before after my 1st failed relationship with my 1st child's Dad, I preferred to find Afam too..lols.. It's a dual purpose for me before, it's to have a beautiful race and and to have a good life as well..but well it's still God's plan to put us with someone we deserve more so I ended up with my hubby, he isn't that handsome but in my eyes he's the most handsome in whole world, charot.. wala lang talaga akong choice... 🤣🤣🤣
Hahahhahaa natawa ako sa wala na talagang choice, maganda ka nmn sis kaya keri na ang lahi 🤣 di na sila magtampo hahahaha
..ahaha naman sis jan ako proud..thank God gaganda ng mga junakis ko 😊 kahit mga abno tatay nila 🤣🤣🤣
You really have some good point on this most especially of the appearance of your future kids. But we can't control love. Hehe.
Yeah, I believe on that too but I did fall in love already haha
Sis, whether anybody agrees with me or not, from my personal experience, am gonna say one thing, your child shares DNA from both mom and dad, and I would definitely prefer good looks and smartness both... because I made that mistake once in this life 😅😅🤣🤣🤣 lesson learned, it is very important to check the person from where your baby is going to come down because you dont wanna suffer in future 😅😅
Hahaha same I prefer good looks and smartness too. I don't want my kid suffer too 😂
I don't po, what i look or like po's what inside, lol, his heart n attitude, outlook in life as well po, the first guy i met 4 years ago's black but he's good looking po, same with My KJF here now po, lol, i don't go for looks, i go for his attitude or what's inside of him po, lol
Hmm I see bheng, hehe we all have different perspective anyway hehe.
Opo, miss eybyoung, lol
Ako i admit physical appearance talaga ang una kong tinitingnan kaya nga gusto ko porenjer ee with blue eyes. Same sa reason mo, di ako maganda so dapat bawi sa magiging partner. Alam mo naman ang porenjer di sila talaga namimili huehue. Kaya ayon, pero awan lang if same pa rin ba sa gusto ko noon ang gusto ko ngsyon. Ayt bahala na, di nga pala ako magaasawa wahahaha
Hahaha kaya nga, kasi di nmn tayo pang beauty queen hanap talaga nang maganda ang genes hahaha
Well, i would say it's the looks for me first then personality. So people would say it may seem shallow but I've got beauty bias and I own that. I don't think anyone can help who they're attracted to.
Yes I agree, we cannot help or stop whom we are attracted with.
This is so me ms. Eyb. I think we think the same when it comes to our child's look and how their looks can affect their future. 😁 i go for looks first then attitude. MGpapakatotoo na ako
Hahaha at least may same preference ako, oo nmn magpakatotoo na lang talaga kung yun nmn talaga unang tinitingnan natin.
Korek!
Ay ako eh mapili talaga😂. Jusko ganito na nga itsura ko eh kukuha pa ko ng, alam mo na. Paank na lang yun anak ko di ba😂😂😂. Kaya halos lahat ng ex ko eh papable talaga😂
Haha oo nga eh, ganon din iniisip ko yung magiging hitsura nang junakis baka magtampo paglaki pano sila ginawa 🤣🤣
Hahahaha, korek..
To be honest, I dont go for the looks. I do prefer the way of talk, respect and thinking of the other person. If that suits me, I would love to go on date with the person. and yes, intelligence do matter
I respect your preferences, we all have different perspective and reasons as well why our preference is like that and I already stated mine.
I guess this is your entry for the prompt Beauty.. 😅 you should have included there. . Anyway, I grow up ugly and too dark too 🙈🙈 my grade school classmates were bullying me because of that.. But it never happens anymore when I was in secondary... Beauty doesn't matter to me.. Until I stepped into college. You know teenage life. More insecurities will occur. .but in never been bullied because of that. lucky me not to experience bullying because of ugliness...maybe my classmates were just kind to me 😅 In general, I don't care about looks since I consider myself ugly. What matters to me is the inner beauty.. Because physical beauty fades as we age..
Oo nga noh sayang di ko na add na yung promt pala ito.. pwedi na. Haha Maybe your classmates are kind ako kasi transferee lagi kaya wala talaga ako regular na kaibigan kaya prone sa bully pero nung grade school lang nmn nung highschool na ako until college kung ano ugali ko now ganon na haha wala nang bully sakin. Kaya sinabi ko talaga sa sarili ko di ako pwdi mag asawa nang mas panget sakin kailangan maganda magiging lahi namin haha ayoko maranasan nang anak ko ma bully. Oo importante pa rin nmn talaga ang ugali kasi ang physical beauty nag fade pag matanda na tayo, pero swerte namn ako di naman pangit ugali nang jowa ko hahaha kaya plus na 😂
I just suddenly remembered what is viral at the moment the good looking priest that capture as hunk LOL, memes spread saying his gene was "sayang" and lot more comments. That's refected us, sometimes we really need to looked good, even jobs needs us to be good and also I believed its because of what we seen in internet and TV those influencer are good and fair looking so maybe thats made in our mind to looked at the appearance first before inside, hayst hirap talaga ng pogi, salamat nalang ako di ko natry hahaha LOL
Hahaha natawa naman ako sa salamat at di ko na try 🤣 Anyway tama ka minsan na impluwensyahan yung paningin at paniniwala natin sa mga nakikita natin sa tv or social medias.
Actually, when I think about it, it is a no for me. Pleasant looking yes, but it does not have to be pretty or something like that.
Well, I respect your point of view it's just that in our country pleasing personality or good looking is somehow an advantage.
First of all, outer appearance is important, then inner beauty is important. I prefer this for myself at first, not for my child. In situations like this, I like to think short term rather than long term.
I think long term, it's not really for me.., for my kid.
You're right particularly when you mentioned about pleasing personality has an edge, it cannot be denied here in our country, between two applicants one is a cum laude and the other is a average graduate of the same field but has a complete package in terms of pleasing personality, then the average one may get the job. Good thing that we have now BPO wherein beauty is not really the first requirement but rather your wit and fluency.
Yes, in BPO looks does not matter because they don't face any customers or client but when a job needs to face people pleasing personality is a big plus.
Looks doesn't matter to me until now that I read your article. It makes me realize some things.
What did you realize?
For me dinaman ako after looks pero nakakatyempo ng mga may ichura haha. Concern ko e baka ako yung kamuka tapos madisappoint jowa ko hahaha. Nung ultrasound ko nga inaabangan ko tlga Yung ilong hahaha at ayun nga namana ni anak ilong ko 😂
Hahahaha yun nga iniisip ko eh. Nung ako nga paglabas nang anak ko yung ilong nya tulad sakin nung maliit pa sya jusko, mga lahi nang asawa ko mapanlait pa nmn kasi mga matangos nga ilong nila., Buti nga nagbago ilong nang anak ko haha Hilotin mo ilong nyan pwd pa yan kasi bata pa para umusbong yung parang buto ba 🤣
Most of the boys, look talaga. Kahit ako sa looks ako naaattract kasi yung nga unang nakikita. 😁 Pero as time goes by, mahalaga parin ang ugali
Oo nga haha, sa una looks naman talaga then in the later ugali pa rin talaga ang mas matimbang.
Korek po. Pero babalik din sa looks heheheh
I feel so guilty but yes, I prefer the looks talaga. Wapakels kung barumbado hahaha... Jk the attitude still weighs more than the physical looks. It's just that, we are attracted first by what our Eyes see diba?
Yes, I agree. Attitude will weigh pa rin in the end but yes mas una tayo na attract talaga sa looks.
To be honest, most of my crushes back then are good looking and handsome (that's why they didn't date me cause I'm too ugly to be with them 😂). There's this song that says "humanap ka ng panget at ibigin mong tunay" (Find someone who's ugly and love him truly), but I disagree with that because what if I ended up with that person, what will happen to my kid? I want to have a cute, handsome/pretty kid in the future so Iconsider the physical aspects of a person before dating him.
Same haha, I am just too bold to get good looking guys back then haha. May edge nmn talaga pag may hitsura ang tao eh magpakatotoo tayo mas marami talaga opportunity ba haha
