Do looks actually matter? This is a genuine question and I don't want it to become a BP thread

From what I've seen looks do matter but not so much as people say they do, most people would overlook your looks if youre likable if charismatic and entertaining, what i think this whole "looks matter" thing is about getting a girlfriend/boyfriend and whatnot, ive seen normal looking if mediocre guys have girlfriends (doebeit by societal standards theyre ok), like average height guys who are shorter or the same height as their girlfriend but not so short

i think what matters most is the face tbh but im not sure, what dk you think?
