Sure, compatible personalities are way more important for a long-lasting, successful relationship, but the physical attraction has to be there to get a first date in the first place.

I don't know if I would say that looks are
always initial. For example, when I was at Disney World earlier this year there was a guy hosting an event who I didn't find attractive in the least, wouldn't give him a second look if we crossed paths in public, but then he started talking and being all outrageous and funny and I slowly found myself becoming attracted to him. His personality began to shine through and he suddenly became the most attractive, desirable person in the room [to me].
Sure, I can instantly tell and appreciate someone who's good looking, but that's not enough to spark an attraction.
