No one should ONLY look at looks. And it isn't just guys. Some girls do that too.
Like you said, everyone would prefer someone they find attractive. Me personally, I wanna find a girl who's attractive, and I can get along with, with a lot in common with me.
Men are visual, this is hard wired in their biology. Looks may attract them, but it is not the only thing that keeps them, it takes much more. Your question denotes your lack of expereince.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
