    Looks do matter.

    And it really explains why I was single until I was almost 29; and didn't get hitched up until I was 30... :D

    I also agree on this topic. When functionality, price, and feel are neck-and-neck, the way something looks has more than once tipped my hat in a decision-making process.

    Life is too short to shoot an ugly gun.

    Along those lines a person was riding my butt one time about my choice in sidearms. They asked why I shot that outdated design. I asked them this question, do you remember the feeling you experienced the first time you got to Second Base? Yes! Well that is what it is like to shoot this pistol.

    I don't know that I've bought based solely on looks, but I can say for sure that some weapons turn me off visually and would probably not be carried. Not many people bash a Hi Point based on reliability, yet they are regularly condemned because they are butt ugly. Come to think of it, I guess I have bought for beauty over function. It's hard to rationalize the functional need for mammoth ivory, but I sure am happy with the purchase.

    maybe you need to worry more about the looks of the person you are getting to second base with if that's been your experience.....
