this question is familiar to all beauty pageant. and most of the answers of the contestant is that personality is really important than looks. but in reality, the first thing we look for is the looks. we always looking for a partner who is beautiful and hot. for me, i always want to have a partners which is not only beautiful but also have a good personality. which is more important to you? looks or personality?

Personality is important but all of us will be hypocrite if we deny that we look at the persons face first before we know what kind of person she/he is before we actually like them.I'd go for normal looking person..if there's such a thing...hehehe.character would be important also. ;p

I'd rather choose personality than the looks. I'm the type of person that overlooks the looks. Although it is also a plus factor if your partner has the looks what's important is how you get along with each other. How do you suppose to manage a relationship when you and your partner are not compatible with each other?

That's for sure. The personality is a very important fact. I'm just a girl, I'm not very beatiful, just very very very normal. But since I was young until now, I realised that all the guys are just looking for the beautiful look girls only. And normally the beautiful girls always change partners. My opinin is it's better to have a partner with a good personality than look. If there's no good prsonality, the girl may always have arguemaent with you without patient, do you think in that case, the relationship will be long? If possible find a girl with both personality and look also good. When a girl have a good personality, automatically you can see her pretty look.

Yes personality is obviously more important than looks. Because personality determines the type of human and the character whereas looks just attracts people. It is said that looks are often deceptive, so we must never judge by looks. A person can be really known through his personality :)

Indeed it's undeniable that we first get attracted to the looks of a person however, this physical attraction is only temporary. Looks fade over time but the personality of someone stays for a lifetime. So I think personality is much more important, there are those who are not quite gifted with looks but they have excellent personality and the other way round. Being with a person with a great personality is a good thing in every relationship. On the other hand, a person may be very lucky if looks and personality comes in one package.

well, i agree that personality is important than looks... having a good personality as if you have a beautiful look inside and out... thus, inner beauty preceeds the outer you... you will be standing out in the crowd if you have a personality that other people admires... eventhough your looks is not good but, you have influence them through your inner looks means that you have good looks also... internally... that exudes externally... on the other hand, although you can easily catch other attention and easily admired if you have goods looks... it is far less than personality thing... i will still go for personality...

I think that looks and good personality should go together. Just think how awkward things would be if your good looking partner could not hold any intelligent conversation with you. On the other hand, having a hideously ugly partner is not a good thing either. Just think of what your children will say if they end up looking like your partner! ugh!

i dont know if you are a christian but it states that men looks on the outward appearence god looks on the heart people look at the exterior god looks on the interior of a person personality seems more important then the exterior too me but the looks part will be a bonus i would not waor martian or anything so to an extent looks do matter to me but what is in a persons heart matters more too me the the exterior great? keep them coming

I think that personality is more important than looks considering the fact that looks are only skin deep. But definitely I would want both...

I wish someone would see me for more then just appearance.. If only go for appearance, don't you think it would become boring after a while, if the person has no personality to keep you interested? Yes a little chemistry is important.. need some attraction but its not the main quality in a relationship.. After all.. looks fade, but personality always there I still looking for someone that likes me for my mind and soul rather then ONLY what he see on the outside.. Very difficult lol You know.. you could meet someone, and first time meet, you not attracted to person, but after sometime of that persons company, you become more and more attracted to him/her.. Because, you got to know the person from inside.. and as say, beauty is from within out :)))

It's not in the looks of the person but in how you handle yourself...being confident in what you are saying & how you keep yourself being smart...that counts a lot than having nice face. Its the personality that shows rather than looks.

As for me both are importance, but I prefer personality slightly better. If you prefer "ONLY" beauty, that beauty will surely end someday. But kindness, good deeds, and inner beauty will last long. Plus, I believe that beauty can also be achieved by strengthening good personality. Keep smiling and be nice to everyone, for example, will make people look at the smiler even more...

its not that black and white you know. your personality will influence your beauty extensively. example: think of a pretty girl, long blonde hair, blue eyes whatever you think is pretty.... got it? . . . . . alright now picture the same girl as a gothic punk rockster! . . . . . and now as a kindergarden teacher with too big glasses, grey clothes and granny shoes. so what has happened to the same pretty girl? She has changed a lot with her personality. tatatatada!
