In choosing who to date what do you usually consider/is it about the looks or there are other criteria you consider?For me i consider the looks and intelligence which is very vital to me,i dont want to be holed up in a place with omeone with low iQ

If that is just like a blind date or dating someone that I don't really know then of course I want someone who has good looking. But if I am in love with a person I could really over shadow his physical appearance, I mean of course I am in love with this person that I've already accepted for who he is.

I will be hypocrite if i say i don't consider the looks first before anything else. Ok,i go with the looks,and then discover the inner being later. But,even how good looking someone is,if,he is not as good inside,sorry,but,not my type. I like to have a date with someone who's not very good looking,might be average,with sense of humor. Smart,and flexible with topics,from musics to politics,sports to movies. I like someone who knows how to handle himself and knows how to handle me. Happy weekend

Well, the first thing that everyone notices is how a person looks, it is what makes us initially interested in that person. But thats just it, looks will make you interested, but in the long run, its the personality that will make you stay. I know quite a number of people that look good but they have an attitude problem so their looks dont even count at all when you sum up their worth as a person. Next i look for someone smart as well, for the simple reason that you also just said, plus i want to be able to have sensible conversations with anything and everything under the sun.

hi byola to me what drew me to my husband was his sunny disposition, his laughter, his ability to make friends, he was not ugly but that was not my first or fifteenth consideration. Did he love animals like I did, did he want children, was he optimistic these were the things that I longed to share with him. He was intelligent but also happy, and living with a brain who had a sour disposition was not for me. I have a high IQ but he had plenty of intelligence, I wanted a person who was not always scowling and mistrusting everyone.

I like your opinion. If it came down to just the looks then intelligence would have to be included. If you are say "ugly" its probably not because you're naturally ugly but because you are not smart enough to take care of yourself. & say you are soooo smart but don't care about your looks, that still doesn't matter. You either want to take care of yourself and want to be presentable to the world or you just don't care enough to impress anyone and could care less. If i were a guy looking for a girl, Shed have to be smart, unique and pretty (not beautiful) but pretty. I have to be presentable, smart and willing to achieve what is going to be handed to me. So i would say love and looks :)
