So I choose the least picked probably which is "The ugly and loves anime/manga" since so far, I like girls more because of their personality rather than their look, so having similar interest adds a lot of point to that mmm...

Either way, I would never be in a relationship with someone so close minded as to not even give something a chance, so if the beautiful spouse is also a closed minded .... I would rather be with someone who loves anime or I would just be forever alone. People can like whatever they want, but at least have a good reason as to why you hate something. If you think "anime is for children" I will have to slap you.

But even if I did, I think there are much more important attributes to one's partner than whether or not they share your hobby, as long as they don't disrespect it (because being condescending towards something your s.o. loves so much is a pretty bad sign, imo). And if you decide your partner based on looks, well, that's just poor judgement on your part.

[*however, it is not okay to marginalize other people based on that and not even trying to know them better.]

To me these 4 choices are implying that only ugly people like manga/anime. My heart just took a critical hit.

Are we talking 0/10 ugly here? Are we talking 10/10 beautiful here? Do they truly love me in general if you remove all anime / manga from the picture?
I've seen what 0/10 girls look like, there's no amount of personality that can fix that.

I think you cannot have 100% the same interest as the person you love. It would help though not getting hate from the lover for the thing you love. I think you can be with someone who hates horror movies and loves them yourself and get along just fine.
still, it would be really tricky, if you are a super otaku that has all collectibles or paintings or posters, then I don't think it might work. If I hate something, I would tolerate a collection in a curio cabinet, but not everywhere as an overwhelming decoration.

And, to the people saying that "looks don't matter", yes, they do. Your look advertises who you are by the way you walk, how you dress, how you treat your body, and so on. "Ugly" people don't care about that, which is why they are, by definition, ugly. They don't take care of themselves, not the way they look, not the way they treat other people, not how they live, etc. All they want to do is just wallow in their filthy life and drag people down along with them while demanding that people have to accept their lifestyle. So the question becomes do you really want to spend the rest of your life with a person like that?

No, I do mean ugly. "Assholes" are just people who cause a stir in the crowd no matter where they go (For better or for worse). Ugly people want to see the destruction of beauty.

Looks do matter. You don't want to be with someone that makes you want to puke every time you see them, but they aren't all that important. It's probably a hell of a lot harder to love a really ugly person (physically ugly), but if you spend a lot of time with them you might just fall in love with them. It won't happen often, but it will happen to some people. Still, that's only possible if you have to meet them often, if it's by choice, like in dating (going on dates before a relationship), then looks matter a lot more. If you aren't attracted to someone, why would you go out of your way to meet them again?

I think you answered your own question.
You really don't know these days. Have you seen some of the hentai and lewds people are making (Such as this creepypasta getting attention, or that Ooishi Kou doujin with the fish girl)?

It's better to have some similarities in hobbies with you partner, that way you can deepen your bond. That way you'll always have things to discuss, tells to tell. And humour status having on the same level is nice, that way you'll never get bored of one another.
Though I'm not really the one to talk, as I don't even have a girlfriend yet.
Thus I chose, Doesn't matte.

Now, I also would not be able to marry someone who hates a hobby of mine. I would be fine if they were chill with it, but hate is too strong; hate would mean that person would actively try to stop me from participating in my hobby. That is not something I would ever want in a spouse.
TL;DR: If those are my options, than I would rather not have a spouse.

I have a very good-looking husband (never did understand how I got him) but he really, really dislikes manga. Although I have to say he has watched 1 or 2 anime series. However when it comes to my love of manga ... he is very disdainful about it But it doesn't really bother me because I just like it so much myself. Sometimes I wish I could share with him how awesome it is. (But then again, I read pretty much only shoujo so I'm not sure he would like it anyway.)
We have different interests but definitely get along great! Sometimes it means that in our evenings I'm reading manga and he's watching TV or out playing hockey. It doesn't matter. We don't have to do everything together all the time and we enjoy being together but doing different things just as much.
Then we also have 2 kids and my oldest likes to "read" manga with me. And my husband does noooot like that We'll have to see who wins that battle.
All I can say is, as with most polls, the options aren't really perfect. But I went with the last one.
