Both are important to me, but unfortunately you can't get to know personality as soon as looks


I completely agree and think that most of the people who have posted here so far are just afraid to look shallow.

Personality is important once you decide to actually go for someone, or even just talk to them, but it's going to be the looks that first get your attention.
Unavoidable.

I mean, I couldn't stay with someone who's incredible looking if they annoyed the hell out of me, but the fact that I would've tried them just because of how good they look has to count for something.
And I know I'm not the only one who thinks that. Admit it.

Honestly, neither.

Personality is a very important factor, but it cannot completely override looks. I mean, if the girl is meant to be 18 (my age just btw - for a bit of perspective) and looks 30, or if they need to grease themselves up to pass through a doorway... i'd be disinclined to give them a second glance regardless of their personality (assuming my eyes have stopped bleeding enough to warrant a second look)

I'd be more inclined to go up to someone who looks good and engage in conversation than someone who, to put it bluntly, is ugly. However, that conversation will often offer a good indication as to their personality, and you never know, you may get lucky and find someone who isnt conceited... although the couple i've found have already been in relationships :S

TLDR; personality is important to the n'th degree, but looks have an underlying presence in the appeal of a person

This is an interesting topic. I think what many people tend to do is place a high value on looks. Like looks mean or seem "better", when in reality they aren't.


Example. I was attracted to my last girlfriend for her looks. (Honestly, I believe in lust at first sight not love, think about it.) She was always quite and smiled when she was with her friends so she had a real innocence about her. So I accepted her as my girlfriend with this ideal of innocences in my mind for her.


However her personality was awful, and she cause me quite some hardship in my life. I think my experience speaks to my opinion. Just beacause you have someone with good looks doesn't mean your going to be happy. I like to do a combination ^_^ First I find a physical attraction, and then I move to personality. I think we all do. Maybe without even noticing it.

Personality is somehow better, however, they have to be somewhere around average not too ugly ( sorry to be frank) , i don't need Hot guys, some normal guys who care about me is good enough

Hmm. Wonderful first post here, I think. =P To be honest, as a girl looking for guys, I'll say both, but personality first.

The thing people notice first about you is looks, sadly. If you're not a traditionally "hot" girl (though one or two people have said it... o_O;' I find it hard to believe xD), most guys just ignore you. =P On the other hand, if you have a horrible personality... well, I think that leads to a lot of the stereotypical teenage one-week relationships. =P At first, the important thing seems to be looks, but the relationship won't last if you don't get along.

Personally, I look for lasting relationships that actually mean something. The first/last one I was in, I went for looks, and it didn't work out that well. There was no communication, and it was hard to feel that we mutually actually liked each other, and I don't want to make that mistake again. =P

So in short... I look for personality first, because I actually want to get along with them. And I tend to like the more "unusual-looking" guys anyway, so I guess I'm lucky or something. xD

Ok for me look as important.. but as above me said HOT gal thats a no no for me.. as I know if a gal is HOT then she has a bad personality.. so for me a easy going person is good enough. So bottom line is if looks has to be rated then I will go for 4 to 6 but I will judge her by her personalty not looks. But hey you talk to a gal by looking at her first.. so its kinda... paradox!

Personality is something you'll probably see after seeing a person from time to time. It's looks that stays fresh into your head and would be the reason why you would be interested.

To answer this one..I'd go with personality. Yet there are times that the person's looks is the reason why I'd even talk to that person. I answered personality since it's that person's trait that would last longer than looks. And that it's my best asset..and I'd like people to see that. (Golden Rule..do unto others what you want others to do unto you.)

It's probably me but I suppose I'm one of those guys who aren't picked because I'm not as appealing on the outside.

Both are important but if I really should choose other over another it would be personality. One can get used to look not-so-goodlooking -person and later find them pretty nice looking but if personalities clashes a lot I'm pretty sure their relationship wouldn't be healthy.

It's nice to hear people say personality- it must mean that all the people on AP have superior values! lol
For myself, looks create an initial attraction, but personality is the determining factor. Thus I'd place personality above looks. I think it’s important to look for a person with similar values and vision. It's also important to be able to find someone that you can hold a conversation with, laughs at your jokes, and appreciates you for who you are; as one person said:
tifa988
The personality is more important than the looks. That is because, you maybe look great until a certain age, then after that, the great looks will disappear and what will be left will be the personality =)

Going back to looks... Many times beauty is a very personal and subjective thing. I know that there are some girls I thought were beautiful, while other guys would roll their eyes at those selfsame people and laugh at me (not in a mean way). For myself, I would have to marry someone I thought was beautiful- simply because I'd want to be in awe of her, able to tell her how beautiful she is to me. I'd want to not only fall in love with her looks or her personality- but everything about her.

Well, I am not too sure. If that guy with such a poor personality but awesome looks loves me... I guess it would be him. And what kind of bad is it? I mean would he beat me up or something like that? Then I would hang with him for a while. Later split up. I dont even consider the ugly one, because looks are important for me. I cant kiss a person who disgusts me.

I say it's situational, if you're looking for a quick fling then go completely by looks, you may get lucky with them having a decent personality(I'm sick of that word right now, so I'm going to use the word brain in it's place).

If you're looking for a relationship or just someone with more substance, you should look for someone with a great brain, but I guess it's best to find a middle ground with them both if you're looking for someone to spend quite a bit of time with.

As for myself looks don't affect me too much, I'd rather talk to them then start thinking I should date them!

One last thing about brain is that it is affected by our moods, so the only real way to like someone for their brain is to get to know them quite well, which can lead to a giant waste of time and effort, but eh it's life, least you got to live an experience right?

Oo to me I choose personality, I think that every person have their own opinion on beauty. A person might think that a girl is hot, but another one might say shes ugly. As for me, I would go out with a person with a good personality, but then of course what defines a good personality is totally up to you. A good personality to me is someone who cares and understands me, someone who I can be with comfortably everyday and trust me when you meet this person you will know it. It doesn't matter how they look, but if that person is the one you feel calm/comfortable with the most, then you will think that that person is beautiful.

Ok ok this is a fight in the reallity
but take care for my answer (bucause is rellay true)
i have a teory, in the way you meaby have a lot of girlfriends or boyfriends in this case many of them you like because she or he are beatifull or handsome,good lookin and whit a good look you know all of tha patectic things
but at the end its a big probability that you chose your wife or housband for his or her personality in mexico we have a proverb "la suerte de la fea la bonita la desea"
i dont know how to write it but here i come
"the luck of the ugly the beaty desires" .(n_n). emoticon

so that my opinion at the end the personality wins jejejejejeje

I rather go for personality than looks, but look is always a plus. I mean, would you want go out with a very good looking person when that person has a very crappy personality? (I can't stand conceited people, for one)
