How much does physical attraction matter to you in a relationship?

I think physical attraction is very important in a relationship, especially near the beginning. You're less likely to want to get into a relationship with someone who you didn't find physically attractive, so I think that in order for a relationship to even happen you need to first be physically attracted to them, perhaps later on in a relationship it gets less important as you become more emotionally involved with them but I think that, shallow as it may sound, if you were with someone who you found physically attractive and you'd been together for a while and were emotionally with them as well as physically but they began to get less and less physically attractive to you at this point then it would be very difficult to remain with them because that initial attraction to them is lost.
 
Physical attraction is something that fades with age. A beautiful personality can last a lifetime.
 
Most of the people I wind up crushing on is based entirely on emotion. It doesn't mean physical attraction doesn't matter to me though.
 
It's somewhat important, as it's the first thing you notice about a person, before you have a chance to talk with them. Of course if the person is attractive but turns out to be a total jerk, I'd get turned off immediately. But, if someone looks like Sasquatch or something, chances are I'll never pursue a relationship in the first place.

For me, it's the physical appearance that gets my foot in the door. Personality and stuff comes into play later.
