I feel tha looks is always more imortant personality. And when i say more important, i mean looks-55% and personality-45%. I have to like the face. Anyone agree?

I'm not going to lie, of course I think looks are important but I do think personality is a little bit higher. Because once you get to know them you look right past the looks. I've never really met anyone who I thought was really uglybut I'd rather take an ok looking person who is a sweetheart over a hot guy who is a jerk.

Okay, I'm seriously being honest here. No lying. It don't matter to me. I'd rather have a sweet guy, then have some hot guy that turns out to be a psychopath and chops me into a million pieces while I'm sleeping.

Hell no. If he's good looking and has a horrible personality, then screw him. I'd rather have someone who's average looking but who also has a sweet personality.
Looks are important; there's no denying it. But there has to be more to a person than that.

I just think you have to get past the looks in order to see what type of person they are and if it turns out that person has a horrible personality, then that lets you know they are not for you.

The inside matters when the face is attractive. I tried but if I don't like a female's face i don't want to know what's on the inside

Looks do matter. You have to be physically attracted to a person. Personality comes first, of course, but looks really do matter. If you love someone, you love everything about them. Loving someone makes them beautiful through your eyes. It's like that saying: Immature love says, "I love you because you're beautiful." Mature love says, "You're beautiful because I love you."

Looks fade. It's character, integrity and a sense of humor that matter. Who needs a good looking jerk.
Besides, I've always had a rule: I don't want to be with anyone better looking than me. ;)

I'd be lying if I said that looks are not up there in importance.

However, someone with a brain, personality, and something to say is what I need.

That, and that whole not chopping me into a million pieces while I sleep thing that Jenny said. Major turn off.

After many, many years of looking and being with the good looking guys and the guys who really have it all, I realized that there was no substance inside them. Alot of them had no heart at all. They just were made out of stone. One day I decided to give a regular guy a chance. That has been the last man I ever found. He had a humongous heart and a soul I have never, ever found in no other man. I married him and we are still together till this day. So the moral to my post is "Give a regular guy/girl a chance because they have the :heart: " So I say personality is better.....

Looks do matter(thruthfully,I even feel a little guilty saying that) but they don't matter nearly as much as personality. If you find someone with a good personality, they'll look beautiful to you anyway.

Looks are definately more important than personality! My best friend is always telling me that thinking that way makes me shallow but I disagree. She says that a persons personality is the most attractive thing about them but "attraction", by definition, is a physical thing. How can you be physically attracted to someone's personality??
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that personality isn't important at all. I wouldn't spend all my time with a woman who was stupid or who was a total b*tch just cos she was beautiful. But I wouldn't date a woman whom I didn't find attractive. A woman may have a great attitude and brilliant sense of humour but if I didn't find her physically attractive then I wouldn't want to be anything more than just friends with her.

What I'm saying basically is this -
There has to be a good personality but if there's no physical attraction then nothing is gonna happen. Thusly, looks are more important.

Yeah, I agree somewhat on this. I think the person should at least be presentable looking to cause you some interest in him/her. If there is no interest, I feel the person isn't the "special" someone. I think looks is what reels you into the person and personality is what really allows you to discover the person.

Ok, Im not gonna lie-- of course looks matter! At first, thats the most important thing- I mean, thats what attracts you to a stranger in the first place! You have to get to know them after to see if their personality matches up to their face.

You can have looks and personalty but if you someone is materialistic,shallow,a opportunist,callous,ego then looks don't matter.I like someone who believes you can achieve success without stepping on peoples feet.I was jaded for a long time but I have met a women who not only is great in all of the areas you mentioned but has integrity,class,loyalty,compassion and understands and celebrates family values.She also is grounded and she loves me unconditionally faults and all.There alot of people on were concerned she married me because I come from money the fact is she has a value system that made me fall in love with her.She doesn't care that my father is famous,she believes in being her own person and making her own way in the world at the sametime she is a exceptional wife and mother.Now if she weren't those things her looks and personalty would mean anything either.So looks and personalty for all that its worth means really nothing.I know alot women who are drop dead gorgeous and they are the most self absorbed people I know.so beauty doesn't make them great have great personalties.I know alot of people with great personalties who dress and present themselves with class and that to me is appealing.In 40 yrs her looks aren't going to be the reason we had sustained a relationship and bond,it was because of her personalty,warmth,and love she has for me and our son and life.I'm no stud muffin but I do keep clean and dress to the nines.Beauty is really in the eye of the beholder and that isn't just a saying it applys.showbiz nowadays is love you faithly until I find someone who can further my career.Ego is what tears relationships up usually its the man who cannot stand the women getting ahead career wife.look at scott Foley and Jennifer Garner.look at Jennifer Lopez shes own her third marriage.People in Hollywood for the most part who do have values is because they don't get caught up with the shallowness of it all.The Oscars and any award show is a vanity laced episode of egos out of control.I'm sick of rap stars and singers thanking god and then their agent,usually to them that is the same person.Do you think what the percentages of George Clooney is finding someone who accepts him if he wasn't George Clooney The star.No frankly money matters to much to people.even if you found a celebrity with money would you stay with them if they were the biggiest jerks in the world or the most self absorbed women I wouldn't.life is to short not to find a lifemate.A soulmate like my wife Trish.

Well, this isn't theoretical or purely academic, because there are plently of people who are dull and ugly. I'm not sure whether dull means unintelligent or not interesting here.

But, in either case, the person still might be kind and good, and perhaps someone else could see that and love him or her. The thing is, though, that the person might have trouble getting dates, since the dull and ugly part would be more obvious than the kind and good part. I would hope, though, that such a person would not forget dating.

I think it's rare if a relationship starts because of personality. Maybe if you've been forced to talk to the person you'd know there personality, but most people go after someone after noticing appearance, then personality is the glue, or sometimes bubble gum that holds it together.

I am attracted to looks first. Then I try and get to know them. If they're nice, then I still like them. But if they're not, then I just forget about them. So it's kind of both.

However, if I meet someone with an amazing personality and not so great looks, we'd be still be FRIENDS.

I don't care how my friends look, as long as they have a good personality(truthfully, I wouldn't wanna go with any of my friends if I was a boy). But in a relationship, it would be different. Even if a guy has a nice personality, I couldn't be turned on by him if he was hideous. I wouldn't wanna kiss him or do other things with him, and probably wouldn't want him touching me. But on the other hand, if the hottest guy in school was the biggest jerk in school and wanted to ask me out, I'd turn him down in a second. So I think personality is more important on the friendship scale, but on the relationship scale, they are equal. Would u rather go with a hot person that acts like an ass, or a nice person that looks like one? NEITHER!
