Would you let other peoples opinions stop you being with someone you liked?
Just curious, if you liked someone who your friends considered to be ugly or boring or someone they laughed at, would their opinion have an effect on whether you chose to pursue a relationship with that person?
(I'm not in this situation - just wondering what people think!)

Is it opinion or fact? If my friends thought a guy was ugly, I wouldn't care. But if they said he abused his last girlfriend or was racist or something, I would care!
nope wouldnt give a hoot. my best mate didnt like my bf when i first met him but shes come around now 
Nope, it's your own opinion that counts - and anyway, it means there's less competition for the person if they don't like them! 
if its personality based, you should always listen to your friends!
my friends went to school with someone i liked and when things started to happen they tried to tell me not to, but becuase they couldnt really give a good reason i went ahead with it.
but it turned out he was no good, and i should have listened to my friends in the beginning!

My friends didn't like my ex much at all, and I eventually saw what they saw and it came to an end... they love my current boyfriend to bits and that makes me happy because it makes it so much easier to spend time with all of them together and have fun.
However, if I really liked someone, I don't think it would influence me too much if my friends hated them. It would make me worry a bit though, because they're very good judges of character.

hmmmm
it depends what your friends are saying
if there saying they are boring, or ugly or whatever then ignore them and do what you want.
If however they are saying she is a slag or a slut and genuinely not in a nice way, it may be an idea to listen to them

No, however in my experience the relationship works better if your friends like the person
You're talking about finding someone "ugly, boring and laughable". That's not the same as a friend telling you that they don't think this person is going to treat you right.
As for your question, sure, a lot of people are rather shallow and worry about what other people think. Especially when you have low confidence, shallow and don't know how to stand up for yourself, you don't look for someone to be happy with, you look for someone who, you think, will get you approval.
To be honest, I've been in that situation. I was pathetic. If you only go out with people because you think your friends will approve, you're never going to have a proper relationship.
