It depends on the type of relationship one is seeking. I am now seeking just lovers who are friends. So, for me, a nice build and looks to some extent are important. The dating app online world is rather superficial and most men have chosen me based on my appearance. So, I know this because they keep talking about my appearance initially, instead of my job or personality. I am nice to a certain extent and this seems to be not a factor for some guys. I have been on dating apps off and on for about four years and it is a very superficial world out there. Because of this, I don't recommend online dating apps to anyone. I have been also called fat -one time, after I met the man - I am curvy so this may be called fat. But, I looked at him and he was a short bald fat man himself. I was glad he was turned off by me as I was to him. Most people on the dating apps online use photos that are really old or photoshop their pics. They also lie on their profiles about their age. One man was about 75 and said he was in his 60s.. So, it is highly recommended to meet in person right away to see how the person really looks like in reality and see if there is any chemistry. So far, I have had only one rejection based on looks but have been rejected a few times because I am not from the country I am living in. But, who cares?

I am currently seeing a former soccer player and am satisfied. He is nice and decent as well as tall and well-built. I don't know how it will turn out but so far, he is good to me so I guess although I like his looks, how one treats the other is equally as important. Some people are nice personally and this is great but I'm looking for sparks and fireworks when I meet someone initially. Truthfully, looks are important initially but afterwards, the veneer rubs off and there has to be more than looks to keep a relationship going. So, if someone has both looks and a decent personality, then this is the best combination. Of course, having a decent job and a rather healthy lifestyle are factors too. So, one can't base a relationship on just looks and personality since there are many factors to a good relationship. I sound if I am experienced in relationships but am not. I have had only bad ones so know from my mistakes that I must feel attracted to the person and also get along with him. I'm becoming wiser but so far I have never had a good relationship so take what I say with a grain of salt.
