A: "You can't skate by on your looks alone."

While I've heard this used, I've never seen confirmation it is a legitimate/recognized idiom and not just a colloquialism. That being said, "to skate by" is to coast by/through/past/etc with minimal effort--such as when ice skating.

So, this sentence is stating that looks (being attractive) is not enough and that to accomplish whatever is being referenced (life, career, a particular task, etc), you will need to put forth more effort than just being attractive (which typically garners one favor in society).

You can skate by on looks if you are a model, but if you try to become an actress, that will also require acting ability.

A: You can say "Skating is a little difficult for me, but I really like it."

When you say "skating is a little difficult", that is present-tense. When you say "skating was a little difficult", that is past-tense.

They both mean that you like skating (anytime).

A: Can mean a person who is untrustworthy
