Looks or Personality?

So...sometime during the holiday that just passed, my friends and i somehow started a debate on whether you would pick a guy or girl (in terms of dating) depending on their looks or personality. BUT...here's the catch. They can be really good looking (or you can just imagine your favourite celeb) with a terrible personality or would you pick a not-so-good-looking person with an amazing personality?

Picture...i dunno Matsumoto Jun for example. Pretty good looking but, he's abusive towards you and uses you. On the other hand, someone could have a funny look ear that's pretty noticeable, he's also not the best looking around, but he has an incredible personality?

My answer to my friends (after much debate) is i would say 60/40 for personality. :/

What's everyone else's opinion? I hope this isn't a re-post of any sort..

50/50! Looks can be bit lower than personality, but not vise-versa ^_^

Reality : Most of the people first always go for the looks . Truth
Secondaire : When they find out about low personality they always rather go with someone lower looks but good hearted Truth or not ?!.

You can be the best looking person in the world but if your
personality stinks, it doesn't matter how good you look.

Well, how ugly are you talking about here? If it's just "not good looking", definitely personality. But it's "down right ugly" or "gross and unhygienic", then I'm going to date neither of them. Either way, a guy with the wrong personality just doesn't do it for me. On the other hand, I know that I can slowly fall in love with a guy if he takes the time to show me he's worth it on the inside.

You might THINK that looks are important, but you should take a good look at your close friends. Most people stop thinking about whether their friends are pretty or not on a physical level when their friendship goes beyond a certain level. I believe that this is certainly true for non-platonic relationships too.

I'd choose personality.
looks change, characters are hard to work on.

I would always choose personality, just because I'm super super picky when it comes to dating people. I can't stand weak willed guys that need constant attention. Although it's kind of odd how you can tell a little bit about a person's personality by how they dress/take care of themselves. For example, I'm more likely to go up and talk to a guy who is more uniquely dressed or well dressed than the typical guys these days that all seem to have the same haircut and always wear kaki pants and a striped shirt. And I loooooove guys with long hair. Though I'd still go with a guy who had an awesome personality and didn't look that great over a super hot guy but pathetic individual.

On the other hand, there's one thing in terms of apperance that I am a stickler on, and that's weight. I don't find overweight guys attractive. It's not to be shallow and it also has somewhat do with personality. Yes, I know there are people out there with legitimate medical issues concerning their weight, but overall if you're overweight just because you're lazy it's a big turn off for me.

personality for sure.....how could you date someone if you can't even stand them? what makes a great relationship is the chemistry, and not the looks....obviously looks is what intentionally attracts you, but the personality will keep you together

In a long term partner I would be looking for mental stability as a number one on the list. Being single has allowed me to remember just how trying it was dealing with her problems. Constantly being an emotional crutch was draining.
I still like women to be attractive but personality has a huge role to play. Then again though, I think I can fall in love too easily. I'm very easily pleased.
I haven't had kids yet, but I would like to before I am 30(and get married). I guess that only gives me 4 years to meet the right woman, but I'm hoping.

the look is very important but we can love the other person without looking at him/her

the treatment and expressing the feelings are the most important for growing the relation

A few years ago I would have said "Very clear, Personality is it!"

But now I think this is a difficult question because "Looks" and "Personality" balance each other for me and I would prefer a partner who has both. I wouldn´t be happy with an attractive partner with a really nasty personality, but on the other side, I would also not be happy with an unattractive partner and a kind personality.

But, there is always something a person can do about his/her looks and bad habits. Tongue

hmm yea I agree that a person can work on them but I like the personality better but of course the guy has to be good looking as well Tongue

People are usually attracted by looks (since you can't see personality, sadly), but are generally kept by personality.

It'd be great if my future wife looks great, but I would want to be able to have intelligent conversations with her, and looks don't help with that - though of course both would be best. Some guys are quite happy with "trophy" wives, but I doubt that would work for me. I don't want to have to do all the thinking myself! Smile
