Do looks matter? Yes- but if looks are perfect, its not enough to qualify [alone].

Exactly right, and the reason I qualified my explanation of the importance of looks by saying that physical attraction was only 75% of the reason I choose my wife. Maybe 75% is a bit high, but if a girl had no physical appeal, I would have no motivation to pursue a romantic relationship.
When I met my first girlfriend, I found her appearance to be mildly attractive. After getting to know her and really loving her personality, I was wildly attracted to her.
A woman that is very beautiful and either doesn't know it, or doesn't use her appearance to manipulate others, adds to her attractiveness. I found that trait in my new wife. She is also the most rational girl I have dated and subjects her emotion to reason. While she still has the strong emotions that women have, her actions are dictated by logic (usually).
So my point isn't that appearances are everything, just that they tend to be more important to a woman.
