The short answer to "do looks matter to men" is yes. The average man will not court you unless he is physically attracted to you, no matter how amazing of a person you are. Guys are hardwired to respond to curves and a feminine, healthy appearance. It's in a man's genes to mate with a woman who is more likely to bear healthy offspring. That being said, you don't necessarily have to have model looks or be the most beautiful woman in the world. If you think about it, no matter how physically attractive you are, there is always someone who may be "more beautiful" than you. Not only that, every man has different tastes. A woman who is a "10" in one man's eye's may be a "6" in another's and vice-versa.
What is important is that you take care of yourself. Every woman can make herself look cute. Staying in shape, eating right, and reducing stress all bring out the beauty in people. If you are getting down about how you perceive your beauty, don't worry. There is a man out there who thinks your gorgeous, I guarantee it. If you feel unattractive, don't sit there and feel sorry for yourself. Do something about it! However, don't get a makeover, start working out, or eat right to impress men. Do it for yourself. You need to feel attractive in order for men to notice you and also respect you. If you feel gorgeous, you will carry yourself with confidence, which increases your overall attractiveness. Miami is a city full of beautiful women, but most of them are horribly insecure about themselves. Men do not take a woman seriously if she lacks real self-confidence. And no, superficial confidence in your looks is not enough to sway a man from wanting to sleep with you to wanting to put a ring on your finger.
Many women, especially in Miami, spend a significant amount of their income on beauty enhancement thinking that men only respond to looks. This is not the right way to go about finding a boyfriend. Yes, men respond to beauty, but just because you look good, it doesn't mean he's going to want to have children with you. He will want to sleep with you. And that's the key point I am trying to make here. Beauty makes a man want to have sex with you, but it's your character and personality that determines his commitment to monogamy with you.
If you are wondering do looks matter to men because you are trying to find the path to a successful long-term relationship, I would advise you not to focus solely on looks. Yes, it's important, but it's only enough to get men to approach you, not to get them to stay after they approach. Work on the inner aspects of yourself like your mental well-being, you depth of character, and your ability to emotionally connect with men. Those are what really count in the long-term.
