No amount of good looks can make up for a bad personality.0

unfortunately, no. (personality is not enough)
i can pretend all i want that the personality is enough for me, but yeah, when it's not there, it's not there. call me vain, but that's the truth.
i'm going to be an awesome old lady.0 -
Kind of a trick question, attraction can be greatly fostered via personality; but looks are important too. I can't see myself enjoying the company of somebody I didn't at least find somewhat physically appealing.0

Out of curiousity and i would like to get EVERYONE opinion on this.
Would you date a woman/ man who isnt so attractive but has a great personality?
Absolutely, I want substance, not a trophy, as long as he has good hygiene, and a great personality I'm totally for it!0 -
I want the best of both I can't say that what I look for is the same as the next guy but I know what I like0

Looks initially, personality (and skills... ) long term...0

You might initially be attracted to someone based on their looks.....but you STAY attracted based on who they are! I am about as plain as plain can be, but have been asked out more than I would expect dou to my outgoing and open perosnality (that is what they tell me...lol). So, personality wins by a landslide!0

Neither. I base all relationships on astrological signs and sexual talent.
Winning.0 -
It's depends. I've seen people who had good personalities and been overweight their whole life, get lean and their personalities become that of one that then looked down on others who are now overweight. They got very arrogant and cocky especially to those who may have overlooked them in prior years due to their weight.
And I know so many people who look great and have great personalities to go along with it. But then again I've met many good looking people who had bad attitudes and felt their were above everyone too.
To me what's important is how I get along with that person and how they treat me. If they can't do that right, then neither personality or looks matter.

If you fall in love with their eyes then they will never grow old, cause your eyes will always look the same. I'd say looks over personality cause cheesewhiz adds personality, just kidding...personality all the way.0

Depends on how long you want to date!! If its short term, then it'd be more about looks than anything. But if you're thinking long term, then you have to realise that looks fade, and you could end up with a cranky old b***h if you only went for looks. A balance is the best thing!!! (Generally hot people have better personalities cause they are confident and outgoing.............?!?)0

Girl B moved but we keep in touch. She's married now and I'm married to a Girl B+ now.
Yay! Good for you. I hope i find a Boy B soon lol!0 -
As much as I'd like to say that would date a man based solely on his personality, I feel that both play a role. I am friends with a huge variety of people, but romantically, I'm really picky. Luckily for me, though, I'm mostly into guys who aren't conventionally "handsome."0

I'm going to sound shallow (and maybe I am) but looks are important. Its the first impression. However, for a long term relationship imho its the personality that seals the deal and its the personality that you fall in love for. Its personality and love that makes you grow old together.
However, looks for me are important. Looks are the reason I will go out with you. Its basically the start.0 -
Personality over looks for sure! I love my nerdy game programmer (who likes being active and reading). We have so much in common. His total hotness is just a great bonus.
I didn't even have to think about this because if I lined up all of my boyfriends since high school, nobody would guess what they had in common. (Lanky Dutch Guy, Overweight Chinese Guy, and my current Fit Geek Jamaican Guy). lol.0 -
Looks are a funny thing; they can disappear so quickly when the personality sucks. Whereas, a less attractive person can become super attractive and sexy after getting to know her.
Another thing, when my mom went through her 15 year breast cancer battle, her boyfriend endured things that I just don't know that I could deal with. But, her looks faded and she became bald, and had a mastectomy, and all that, and he still loved her. No one thinks about those kinds of things. But, you really should. If that person you're with became disabled in some way, would you still be with them?
Very good point! You see how insightful this can be. Another way to look at it.0 -
I want the best of both I can't say that what I look for is the same as the next guy but I know what I like
So what is it that you like? lol0 -
Attractiveness is different for everyone, so someone I find hot may not be hot to the next person.
I do put more emphasis on personality though, an extremely attractive person gets less attractive with a bad personality and an average looking guy can become irresistible with a great personality...
^This. And if we're honest with ourselves, usually looks are what get us interested in the first place but personality is what makes us want to stick around.0 -

Thanks for being honest!0 -
You generally only get a foot in the door with looks... Personality is what enables you to stay. If you don't have the looks you have to work damn hard to get the foot in the door... trust me... I know first hand.0
