Looks do matter. Have you ever watched "Dating in the Dark"? The premise is to meet people in the dark and judge them by their personalities and not their looks. They go on "dates" which all take place in the dark. It's supposed to get them past their shallowness and look through to the core of the person. Unfortunately, during the big "reveal" at the end when the light shines on each person (while they can't see the other's reaction...) that's where the "I love their personality" gets thrown out the window, the shallowness comes out, and we sit there uncomfortably (though probably not as uncomfortable as the "dater in the dark") waiting to see whether the person they thought they had a connection with, will come through the terrace door or run screaming out the front door, never to look back again! It's kind of awkwardly funny (I guess for those of us who watch this frivolous summer fare) but mostly, it's kind of sad. Just another way to get rejected, but worse because apparently your personality is not sparkling enough to carry you through. Oh, there are some rare occasions where the girl or the guy will deign to date someone "that isn't usually their type", but most of the time, someone is sitting out on that terrace rejected saying "Oh, I'm so disappointed." (wiping away tears....)
Anyways... I think I've decided to get veneers.
