Honestly when I was in highschool, probably not. But now it's not any issue and the way I'm raising my son, it wouldn't be an issue. We both see people for who they are and not what they look like.
As for Chaos' question...if I befriend someone, it's not for there looks, when you get to know someone and learn how they are and tend to get closer and closer, looks are not any issue. (Although it helps).
