when we judge a person we seem to be more interested in their external beauty and we forget the most important thing is to know how good the person is from within.this is the same mistake we make when we make friends,girlfriends or boyfriends.we just get so tempted with their external beauty that we just ignore the true reality they posses from within.they may may look angelic from outside but from within they may be demonic.but sometimes even though you know all these still you prefer external beauty over inner beauty.so what is your opinion?

wow`I really agree with you.Inner beauty is so important.If you find girlfriends or boyfriends just from the extrernal beauty,this guy wouldn't be the person who share rest time of life with you..

Hi, in my opinion, both are important as well. If you see a person you don t like how she or he don t like really, you never have patient to try to know she as person, to know shes inner beauty. SO, you must like something, before to try to know shes inner beauty. Of course that inner beauty is most important, but i really don t understand why people say that external beauty is not important. Is very important...not because somebody want to find a MISS, just because you must to be interesed in a person, before to want to know better. But external beauty don t mean to find perfection figure or body...sometimes just a smile, a looking, a gesture, can make somebody to be nice.

I love a person for their interal beauty, the external is just a bonus prize to me. A person has to be beautiful on the inside first before they can truly be seen as beautiful on the outside. I have seen many beautiful people with real ugly personalities, and I do not like hanging around those people.

I do believe both things are important equally.Inner beauty last longer so its more important.If you dont have minimum outer beauty ,you are not going to get good job and mate in today's world.This is the reality.

Solwly,I no longer judge a person ,just based on their external beauty.One has a beautiful face,it may be a bad,one has a ugly face,it may be a good one.So,when I judge a person,i value his(her) inner more than external beauty

I think internal beauty of a person counts but the fact here is that everybody attracts to the one who has the external beauty without realizing the fact that whether he or she has has great inner beauty of not. Did anyone agree with me?

Inner beauty is definitely more important.. But it's just human nature to judge upon appearance because that's the first thing we see, the first impression we get.. For everything that's pleasing to the eye or beautiful, our mind will automatically brush off any flaws of them, because of their beauty.. haha =D INner beauty is something which is hidden inside of us, and it cant be seen right away.. IT's only thru chances and getting to know more about each other, only then one will realise that true beauty lies within ^_^

I have always heard beauty is only skin deep. What is inside a person's heart is what is important to me.

internal beauty is what people see one within...but most people dont consider this... external beauty is what people see from outside...most of the people get carried away by this...so a good combination of both this will make a good solution... have a great day

A person could be beautiful externally but be a horrible person inside which to me than makes her ugly. So without a doubt inner beauty is alot more important. Plus external beauty tends to fade with time. I've seen people who were not all that attrative but their inner beauty made them look even better. So the opposite happens with people having external beauty and a bad personality. They then don't look so good.

Inner... trust me, the outter... changes and is never how it was at 17, 27, 37... soon, people don't want to look at your face, but if you've led your life well, you will have people standing in line to see your heart!

If we're talking about dating. External beauty of course plays role in who anyone chooses to date. But for me, if i think a girl is cute, they have to have a good personality. Internal Beaty. If a girl is good looking but is snobby, i would not even consider dating them.

Yes I agree with you. But the true beauty is the inner beauty. It is the qualities and character of a person which is more valuable. Outer beauty is ephemeral and it doesn't affect larger society. However, great qualities of a person makes him/her are great and these people do such works for the humankind that they are remembered forever. All the great leader, scientists, thinkers, writers etc. are the examples of this.

I prefer internal beauty over external beauty. I have been holding on to this preference since I was young. The path that I passed through in life confirms that internal beauty should take precedence over external beauty. There is no doubt that external beauty can be pleasing to the eyes. At the same time it also attracts problems because many people would want to possess the same person. There are people who can be considered as beautiful, but their ugly side negates the attraction they initially had. On the other side of the fence internal beauty brings a glow to the face. External behaviour usually reflects internal beauty. This is a more powerful attraction when we get to know the person better. all the best, rosdimy

I think,inner beauty is more important.Yes right if good looking is first thing could make us interenst to someone but I don't want appraise some one from their body.I think,inner beauty will make people look beautiful/handsome people.
