How come people say beauty is not important?

How is physical beauty unimportant?


The more beautiful you are the easier it is for you to attract a mate. Humans natural purpose to reproduce, not saying everyone wants to reproduce.|||I agree with you. Physical beauty IS important, but I think what people are trying to say is that beauty is more than just skin-deep.|||Beauty is not ok to praise. Beauty is important and it always has been. Look at history there are always people praised for beauty and the methods one uses to attain beauty changes, but there is always a desire to be or admire beautiful people. Beauty is not just for mating purposes. Studies show that more attractive people get paid better because not only are they treated better, but they tend to make companies more money. High end department stores are notorious for hiring beautiful men and women. It happens all the time. Children even respond better to an attractive person. People say beauty is not important because even though we live in a very shallow world, personlity and smarts are thought to be what a person should value. People will say beauty fades, which is true, but so does personality and intelligence. As we age everything starts to age. Intelligence does not last forever regardless of what others state. Beauty is constant in out society. Men and women value it. They may not admit it, but look around it is important. The world is consumed with it and it is not just western society. Other cultures that have no western contact like the indiginous people in South America or tribes in Africa have a strong value on beauty. It may not be the standard common in western society, but the men and women in those culture will wear makeup, pierce parts of bodies to signify beauty. Don't let anyone fool you. Beauty is important. Some people chose to "be above that" and maybe they are, but I tend to not think so. I have met enough of these people who claim to be above beauty to know that they are far from being above physical beauty.|||It is somewhat important, but it's only skin deep, and though it may attract a mate, you will need a personality, and good conversational skills to keep a mate.





Edit - One day when you grow up, you will realize that a real man wants more than a pretty fool on his arm.|||they're obviously exaggerating. Not unless, they are looking for someone in terms of personality, not necessarily just looks, alone.|||in the animal kingdom, thats true


but humans have evolved more (in the brain) and so we focus on other things sometimes.|||The only people who say that are ugly people
