naturally, both do—and likely should—matter. everyone's preferences on things may be categorised either by intuition or social influences: physical attraction may or may not come with time, but generally, it does exist in conjuction with the emotional and psychological realm. it would be fair to say that either physical or romantic attraction may come first, but would significantly matter less than both of your capacities to acknowledge and consider each other, knowing that to a greater degree, how your goals and values align statistically becomes the hallmark of how healthy your relationship would become and eventually foresees the probability of a shared future.in sum: looks may or may not matter, but when you are all about commitment, a relationship with a person who does not fill a void in you, but connects and pairs with you like a puzzle piece is far more rewarding than a relationship that is primarily rooted in physical attraction, which may fade or cease to exist in time.
