Looks vs Personality?

Both.

The whole "I don't care about looks" thing is stupid. Looks are a big part in it, so yeah.
 
At the moment mostly looks, but I'm also not looking for a steady relationship.
 
Definitely personality. I look for an easy going, fun loving, adventurous and caring guy. Without these personality traits, I'd have nothing in common with him no matter what he looked like. I've learned to never judge a book by its cover. You could be giving up a really good book!
 
Unfortunately humans are attracted to things they think look nice. Yeah I like a brilliant personality, but I also something that I like the look of y'know.

What about an average-looking girl with a nice personality?

Thats probably the best compromise, and in fact my case with the girl I like at the moment. She is absolutely wonderful and quite pretty but not overly pretty if you get me.
 
There's a lot of people that like to lie in-order to give themselves a false sense of self-righteousness by saying that looks are completely irrelevant, however, most people can see right through that facade. When you think of the person of your dreams, generally speaking, you don't think of that person as ugly. You think of that person as satisfactory to your specifications. I would say that looks are subjective, however, and that MOST people are able to make themselves presentable with a little bit of effort. For example, I'd say that I am a decent enough looking guy, but if I were to dress like a pig, I'd be considered flat-out "MEH!". However, I don't dress like a pig, and in-fact, I dress in a way that shows that I have enough pride in myself to not dress like a slob. I suppose that's what I am looking for in a girl, I don't need for them to be a model, but I need for them to actually take care of themselves.

Being overweight can be a problem, if it's excessive at least, because I'd be constantly worrying about your physical health, and quite honestly, after a point, it looks terrible and if you don't have a legitimate reason for it, it shows that you don't care about what you look like. As far as personality goes, I have a pulsating sense of humor. I wouldn't call it matured or intelligent humor, but I'd say that it is a large variation. If somebody doesn't have a meshing humor, then, it probably wouldn't be that much fun to be around them. Also, I have a lot going on in my head, not saying that I am particularly smart, but more to say that I can recite things like an encyclopedia then discuss them.

I read a lot of books, watch a lot of movies, and do a lot of research on historical facts, and a lot of my humor is in-fact "movie" references and things like that. Most importantly, I'm weird, and I need somebody else that is also weird.
 
Initially people are attracted to looks because that's all they have to go on. Once they get to know the other person then personality comes into play.
I think both are important but personality is more important to me. If I really loved someone and they were disfigured in an accident, I'd probably stay with them because I feel in love with the person underneath the aesthetic features.
 
Both. I'd like a person with a good personality but also look good.

As far as me, I need a girl that I'm attracted to both her and her personality...

The way that's worded, you make it seem like her personality isn't a part of her :| :P
 
+prince said:
Her (physically, ie her looks) and her personality...

People's personalities aren't apart of their physical self, but more in the mental realm... :P

Yeah, I suppose so. :|
 
Both would be equally important.

Looks are what gets your attention and it's personality that keeps your attention. The problem is when you give too much importance to one over the other as that never leads to good places.

I would suppose that if one were to date someone online then the order would be reversed.
 
Ashera said:
So yeah, what are you looking for in a person (girl/guy)?

Looks are key for me. Known some real lookers in my day but they had the personalities of jailhouse guards and were dumb as a bag of rocks.
Someone with a great personality is a huge turn on and looks are only the wrapper and i'm looking for the contents.
 
I don't care how beautiful you are, or are not, on the outside .. at all.

And regardless of what others might think .. NO BULLSHIT THERE.

You may be drop dead gorgeous .. but if you cannot make me laugh and smile, if you cannot hold a good, intelligent convo with me .. then you are not the person for me. Tis as simple as that. ;)

Personality wins every time in my book ;)
 
I might see a person that initially seems good looking but if I keep seeing them they stop looking 'good' and become just the face of a personality with a name. So, looks matter to me the first few times I see them, I guess. Because after then I already see them differently.
