Personality or Looks

In a real world the best in both would be so good, but which is the most important to you, in yourself and your partner. I like my gf's personality and looks, she wants to lose weight and I can see that and when she reaches her goal she will look even better, but it wont change how I feel for her as I cant feel much more than I already do. I think she feels likewise. What about you people out there, be honest!

    Personality- definitely!
    I have had great prior relationships in people I wasn't originally attracted to... attraction can come with getting to know someone.

    Personality, specifically a sense of humor similar to mine.

    I need a combo of both. Personality is a big part of it but personailty alone is not enough to make me want someone. You need a level of physical attraction. That is the difference between friends and partners.

    My boyfriend looked good to me when we met. When I got to know him he became the most beautiful person I have ever seen. At first glance people might be like what the hell is this girl looking at. But thats the point, its the combination of both that makes me so drawn to him.

    I agree with Belledonna. Looks grab your eye personality grabs your heart.

    Looks first to get the attention, then personality. I dont care how good looking someone is, the personaility has to be there!!! BUT!!! if they are attractive in the first place, nothing else will follow.

    Looks for the initial attraction and then personality for the long run
  • Personality comes first! :)
    I think I agree, her personality stuck with me the first time I spoke to her. Thats not saying she's not attractive!!!

    Sure, if you're hawt, that's great. But if you have the personality of a fruit fly, I immediately lose interest. ^_^

    Last time I checked, personality didnt catch many eyes across a crowded and noisy room. Unfortunately for some of us, attraction is the first key factor ( think peacock, here ). However, like most have said, personality is what keeps you interested well beyond looks.

    I'd be attracted by looks first obviously but personality is definitely more important...

    I'd spend more time fashioning my character than my looks. I won't lie: I'm vain. And I plan on enjoying my youth and I work really hard to age gracefully. That said, youth fades no matter what you do! Beauty comprises looks and personality.

    It may seem a little hokey but if i learned anything from watching the Golden Girls it is this:

    “When you’re young & beautiful, it’s an accident of nature. But when you’re beautiful older, you’ve earned it—THAT you’ve created yourself.”

    A good appearance is attractive, yes. But if I don't like the personality, we can never stay friends or partners. Personality trumps.

    Looks reel me in and personality keeps me!

    I may be shallow, but looks/chemistry is important to me, but the personality will last much longer!!

    I think compatibility is what's most important, you could be drop dead gorgeous or the sweetest girl in the world but if we don't click its not going to work
  • Yeah, most people ask for personality but s/he won't even give you a chance to show your personality, if you don't have good looks...sooo shallow.

    Obviously personailty is essential...but you need a good mix for a strong physical and mental attraction.

    Luckily beauty is in the eye of the beholder....

    Personality....
    With looks, you can get bored easily with time. (on a different note) Imagine if you are living at the worlds most picturesque place. You will love it initially but it would not entice you for ever.

    It's great to see so many 'personality' replies because I'm one ugly mother!

    I assume my wife would also say 'personality'. :)
