for better or for worse, first impressions are important. when you have a date with someone you've never met before, it doesn't matter what wonderful qualities they have, because the very first impression will, by the nature of a bind date system, be based on physical appearances.
imho, i think this is one חסרון of the contemporary singles' system. having the opportunity to meet people casually enables you to learn to appreciate (and fall in love with) someone's qualities regardless of how they look.
whenever i eavesdrop on my wife's shidduch conversations on the phone, a lot of the talk regarding compatibility revolves around looks. that's just the way it is.
Eyn isha ela lenoy [a wife is only for beauty] was one of the groups' at the Tu B'Av singles event claim. But it wasn't the only one. And even the homely girls spoke up for themselves. See http://kallahmagazine.blogspot.com/2008/08/15th-of-ave-take-4-differing-accounts.html
