„Attractiveness was negatively correlated with body mass index and with height (only in males). Attractive individuals reported being in a long-term romantic relationship more than others. Self-rated and/or other-rated attractiveness were positively correlated with self-reported social status, self-esteem, and past-positive time perspective, and negatively correlated with trait anxiety, neuroticism, and past-negative time perspective. ” (Study: Physical and psychosocial correlates of facial attractiveness.)
It’s nice to choose your partner, among other criteria, on attractiveness.
On the other hand, some people tend to only look at this and ignore other traits.
Sure, it matters; we’re built like this. But it should not be the main criterion, in my opinion.
