What Attracts People to You? Your Personality or Looks?  |
|
 I have a lot of love for myself, so what I'm about to say isn't an attempt to slap myself in the face.
I was never thought of as a irresistible babe or anything like that, but at the same time I wasn't the beast's mother either (of course no one is.)
I don't seem to draw many people, but the people I do draw, or have drawn were drawn towards my personality rather than my looks. I'm not only speaking of a love attraction here, but anyone under the sun.
The friends I have now are drawn to my personality because I have a silly sense of humor that they just can't resist because it lightens their day everytime, even if it's a bad day.
I'm always seeking new friends because I love people in general. I love to encourage them and try to squeeze a quick smile out of them, but I'm not saying it always works, but it does work enough times to count for something. 
I enjoy interacting with people so much, I went and created a blog for that purpose, so people can get to know who I really AM. It's nothing scary though.
So the question...
What attracts people to you at least most of the time?

1.  lotterylover (4750) | 4 weeks ago |  Most people see me first but my personality would have to hold them because I am not a good looking person in any way shape or form.

 miraclefreebies (691) | 4 weeks ago | He he! I know I haven't seen you in any shape or form, but I bet you can catch some eyes. Just from your reply here, I can see your personality. I'm sure you won't have any trouble holding them. | |

| lotterylover (4750) | 4 weeks ago | My friends seem to stick with me no matter how I look but those with a lot of pride don't really stay around because they don't want people looking at that person with the fat man. Fat people always get stared at. I just act like they aren't there. | |

| 2. omiami (243) | 4 weeks ago | I think its the personality and i believe that is what it counts after all. With the looks only you dont go further but having a good personality counts a lot. | |

|
|
| miraclefreebies (691) | 4 weeks ago | You're right, I am living proof that personality goes a long ways, a lot further than looks could.
A beautiful personality shines from the inside AND out. | |

| miraclefreebies (691) | 4 weeks ago | That's a wonderful quality to have, and it's priceless!
My smile may not be one of my best traits that draws people, but it helps a lot and can go a long ways. | |

| 4. Ruthep (5928) | 4 weeks ago |  At the risk of sounding extraordinarily conceited, I am going to have to say looks.
More specifically, my hair.
It is long and red and pretty thick.
I do have a good personality, but am pretty introverted most of the time, so my personality is not what people notice at first.
| |
| |
|
|
| miraclefreebies (691) | 4 weeks ago | Long pretty hair can and do draw attention to people. Although I've never had naturally pretty hair, I have worn long pretty wigs. He he! But that's not the same as the REAL thing. | |
|
|
| Ruthep (5928) | 4 weeks ago | I used to really hate my red hair when I was a kid.
No one else had red hair! | |
|
|
| miraclefreebies (691) | 4 weeks ago | Oh really? Well I'm glad you love it now. That's what's important now. It's a lot of things I hated about myself when I was a minor in age and mind.
But now I can't believe I even hated'em in the first place. Silly me... | |

| 5. gicolet (776) | 4 weeks ago |  When I was younger I attracted people with my looks....boys will always be boys...they like pretty girls. It actually did NOT flatter me to be honest. I never wanted to be liked because of my physical features. Like you, I have a very good sense of humour. I even won in a comedy skit I wrote back in high school. I love making people laugh. I like being in a crowd. I hate seeing people looking sad and depressed. I always find a way to cheer them up. I always want to be liked for my personality, not my looks. Well I'm a mother of 2 girls now (15 and 12 yrs old) and I keep on telling them don't let boys like you because you have pretty faces...you have to be liked for your inner beauty. Beauty will fade away but good personality should last forever.

| 6. savypat (7574) | 4 weeks ago |  I am an unremarkable looking person, but I do have the type of personality that seems to attract soem people. I am never the most popular person in the group but can be outspoken and seems to appeal to some.

| miraclefreebies (691) | 4 weeks ago | Hi Pat! You know there are some people who actually think they are unattractive, but that isn't true.
I think we are what we believe we are. Some people may not be attractive to overweight people (for example), but does that mean an overweight person can't be attractive?
Then again there are other people who drools over overweight people, and prefer to date them over thinner people.
Here's another point...if we see ourselves as beautiful inside AND out, then guess what?
We are.. | |

| agv0419 (2047) | 4 weeks ago |  I think everybody attracted to good looking men or women. I think looks is not always important in friendship or relationship. Attitude is more important that good looks. Other people get attractive to the people who are funny and bubbly.

| 7. danishcanadian (20024) | 4 weeks ago |  Definitely my personality over my looks. I make it a point not to emphasize my looks, because I don't want people to be attracted to me based only on what they see. I have never been one to be interested in outter beauty. I think that people put way too much emphasis on looks.
| |

|
|
| miraclefreebies (691) | 4 weeks ago | You just made an incredible point! When I was younger, I thought I wasn't beautiful enough on the outside to keep a man.
But I found out later that it wasn't me that had the problem, it's the people that didn't know and understand the meaning of love.
I would never want to be with someone that overlooks my personality because my hair isn't long enough, or my skin isn't dark or bright enough. | |

| miraclefreebies (691) | 4 weeks ago | Yes the personality is the most important, but never say you're not pretty, those words are like poison and without truth. | |

| 9. sender621 (751) | 4 weeks ago | When I have first been attracted to someone, the way they look usually gets my attention first. After i get to truly know the person, their personality is the true test of whether or not the relationship continues. Looks may get them in the door but personality will keep them there. | |
| |
|
|
| miraclefreebies (691) | 4 weeks ago | I know what you mean. In many cases it is the looks that draws people together, because they haven't had the chance to talk until they see eachother for the first time.
But I've had a few blind dates in my lifetime where I talk to them before meeting them. That's how I met my hubby. | |

| 10. jusskay (30) | 4 weeks ago | I'll say both because alot of people now a days will look at u without even knowin nething bout nd will only associate u based on ur looks but even if you are an attractive person nd u have an ugly personality then most ppl aren't goin to be to fond of u
But for the people that's been around me but doesn't really know me and they see that I have a goofy nd outgoing personality then most likely it'll atract them nd then next thing u kno were callin each other friends
but my looks always attracts people 1st nd then they get to kno me nd not only lyke me for juss wat i look like but for who I am which is what really matters you shouldn't base your friends on how they look
and also I would have to say the way u dress attracts people..if u dress lyke a group of other people dress then evntually you find yourself in that group | |
| |
|
|
| miraclefreebies (691) | 4 weeks ago | I agree. I just said something like that on a previous comment. That's the way a lot of people meet for the first time, but like you said, it won't get a person anywhere if their attitude doesn't match their good looks. | |
