[i]Before I thought all goodlooking men are blessed with a good personality or attitude.I was wrong.I strongly disagree.Well at least I was blessed with 3 goodlooking kids but hoping that they will not get the character of their dad. At my age now and with all my experiences regarding relationships.I believe we need to look at the persons personality first then if looks is important then that's the 2nd thing we should consider in finding a partner.No matter how handsome or beautiful your partner is if you don't get along well and that person doesn't possess a good personality or attitude then definitely you will not have a harmonious relationship together. So for me I make sure that I can get along with that person and I have to know him more and be with him to know how he's like as a person and then the "LOOKs" is just a 2nd thing to me and it's just a consolation price actually. Looks or personality?it's your call my deary...[/i]

it'll be great if the person possess both characters. beautiful, not just the outside appearance, but on the inside as well. and I believe that not all people who has a nice face has a bad attitude. I know some who possesses good looks with a nice personality. but of course, like what the other says, we can have it all, and we can't be perfect.

hi sis... Well. I'm pretty sure you know what my answer would be right? Lol. I've always chosen personality over looks. I am not into good looking guys. Actually I stay far far away from them because of the tag that most good looking guys have. I usually fall for guys who have great personalities. My fiance is not that good looking (just appealing, according to him.Lol.) but he has such a well-rounded personality. He's very responsible, sweet, caring and most importantly God-fearing.

Girl I envy you coz next year you will get married already.I was once married but not a church wedding..hoping I could have a church wedding or a garden wedding.Girl you know what's my view regarding goodlooking men....if you have a goodlooking partner most likely they fool around bec. they know that you are clingy to him.but if you have a so-so type or you have a "just-right" boyfriend..and the girl is pretty...he will be the one clingy to the girl.

Personality is more important for a partner ^_^ Because if one is blessed with good looks, but with a very bad character, are u able to live with them for life?? I dun think so.. So i will rather look for someone average but with good personality because there's no way for them to become very bad, and there's no way for them to deceive us.. uNlike looks, they are used as a cover for the inner devil.. lol

I prefer personality. What can i do of good face,It pleased me just for few days. If she have no personality what can i do if she is good looking.

For me, I think both are important personally. Yet I would rank personality more than the looks. As these kinds of relationships last more than just a few years, there will come a time when your looks change. But personality doesn't really change that much I that person is really good. Also in a relationship they should understand each other which is why personality is the one which is important for me.

Yup just like a beautiful flower.At some point in time the flower will turn into a rotten state and just like beauty it will be different as we age but the attitude we posses it will be develop to a beautiful one everyday.

I think that is something very personal and i can only say that to begin a relationship there has to be a spark or a little chemistry My wife is much much older now but to me she still looks like the beauty i married when she was 19..Her personality i can sum up easily a reborn Mother Theresa If you knew her you would love her ..caring,supportive,always there etc etc Good Luck Have a Great day Sometimes when you are attracted by beauty shortly after the relationship ends because you see things that you are not comfortable with

You are one such lucky man to have a wife with characters like Mother Theresa possesses.And looks wither but attitude does not.But at least I don't suffer the time now with my ex-hubby and we are both happy with our new partners.

Personality is much more important than looks. It is important that people are compatible based on the people they are, not based on the fact that they may be really goodlooking. A lot of goodlooking people are nice, but a lot turn out to be idiots. People who look different do not necessarily have personalities based on their looks VERY FEW of them do!
