Why is scociety so biased, and focuses only on physical features ?

Most people really are not like that, or if they are, it is merely minor gossip but easily change their opinions when they get to know someone. Most adults will date and marry people because of looks.

Now as in food, some like darker, some lighter, but normally it is personallity that makes the difference.

I think you are over typing people with some first impressions of people they never talk to , just see in passing, when "looks" is all one has to start an opinion.

I was watching the "March of Nations" during the opening ceremonies for the Olympics and remarked to my son at how beautiful the women were and how handsome the men, no matter what country they were from or what color they were. Then, like Fr_Chuck says, go over to Walmart and watch the people come and go from the store. I could probably count on two hands the people who are fit and beautiful (and that might be stretching it).

And yet every one of those people at Walmart probably has a partner or lover or spouse and probably children. Looks are only MAYBE what attracts us to each other, although other qualities do too.
