Looks matters, but not as much as a lot of other things. Looks are there for initial attraction and the sexual side, but looks don't equal love.

Yes. This makes me think of something and it kind of follows on after my previous comment about 'psychological' attraction.
I've been attracted to people, but feel nothing for them beyond a physical attraction. While I currently have a good friend with whom I feel is very 'special' to me... and although I am not really attracted to him physically I love to hang out with him; we have great conversations, similar interests, and I'm the only person he 'opens up to' for private matters of his.
Is it
love? I don't know. He's just a really special friend that I adore and share a lot with... and one of the VERY few people I could actually hypothetically stand to live with. I've known him for 11 years now.
Thought that was worth sharing as its relevant to the question of attraction v. love.... but in my own experience based
strongly yet not
solely on this friend of mine, that certain 'flutter' exists for more than physical attraction.
