Hi Locust!
I'm afraid you are half right. To say that looks don't matter is total bs but there's more to it than that. Physical beauty helps because it attracts attention and makes it easy to find potential mates but that isn't necessarily a good thing unless your character matches what you look like on the outside. If that isn't the case then the people you meet will eventually lose interest and move on. It's all an illusion really. Physical attraction fades in time and looks do too, unfortunately.
Of course it is important to take care of yourself and try to look good but if you attach excessive importance to your appearance, you may end up subscribing to the erroneous belief that your worth depends on your looks rather than on your inner values. Big mistake! And unfortunately many of us learn this the hard way..
Hope y'all doing good! Tootles..
