Is personality more attractive than looks?

Let's face it, lol... We don't just get attracted by a persons looks but also by their personality. As they say looks can be deceiving... When it comes to lasting relationships we all look for someone with a good personality and not just looks. How about you? They say Looks in the beginning, Personality in the end, because if the personality ain't good then it's not worth the looks.

yes, if your wise youll go for personality rather than beauty.. but we cant say it, when you really love someone you accept him/her for what and who she is.

I agree with you...if you really love someone, you will accept him/her no matter what and whoever he/she is... it means that is true love.

Yeah I'll also go for personality first. I'd rather be with the person who can understand me and love me also for who I am than to a gorgeous looking man who doesn't care about me.

I agree with you too. Sometimes, u may find someone who has both the good appearance and the personality. But if they fit the kind of person you are looking for what does it matter about their looks? Even the not so goodlooking people have the biggest hearts!! :)

We ladies often set criteria on who's the man of our dream. I used to say, tall, dark and handsome...so i waited :) There's tall, there's handsome, there's dark but in the long run, its not those features that matter the most. Its how that person makes you laugh, makes you feel so special and cared for, makes you feel like a precious gem in so simple ways...personality brings everyone to greater heights, the look is just a consolation in the end :)

Absolutely true personality or character is much better than the physical looks of a person. But if there is a chance to meet someone who got the two package deal. I mean they got the looks and the nice personality that would be like winning a jackpot in a lottery. I think most plain looking people are generally kind and good natured person. Most of the pretty people I meet had strong personality and not so pleasant attitudes that is not worth digging for. Sometimes looks is deceiving and it's up to us to find the real gem inside. We should not be wrong wit our judgment.

I agree. Looks alone will not sustain a relationship long term. In my opinion it is difficult to know a person who may look great but have no substance. I think that love is actually blind, I really do because when the right one comes along it is the total package we fall in love with and a kind personality and a good heart would have to be the most important qualities which draw us and keep us together.

I will admit that there is absolutely nothing wrong with looking at someone that is easy on the eyes, but I don't think that I would ever be able to have a relationship with someone that is extremely attractive. For me, it really is all about the personality. With a wonderful personality, the ugliest person alive can be transformed to one of the most attractive people that I know while with an ugly personality, a beautiful person can really look like an ugly person in my opinion.

I think personality goes with the looks! If we are pretty and gorgeous the personality booms! But if a person is not that good looking, the personality declines But that is for some! I know somebody, who is not that good looking but his personality is so good and builds up his looks to be like Mr. Superman in his own way.

If you love someone, should receive the advantages and disadvantages that person. If you do not want to receive a deficiency, meaning you do not love. remember, Nothing is perfect. Maybe you also have disadvantages.

Hi Santos, It differs from person to person few of them get attracted by looks, few by personality, few by their intelligence what they see in them as they start mingling up not either by personality or looks and few by their good character, behavior,....it depends....it's all one selves it depends...even though the personality is not good and good in all the other things one like them...

personality is more attractive for me than mere good looks because looks fade in the end. we want someone with a great personality whom we could spent the rest of our lives with.

Hello marichris, for me, what's the point of having the most beautiful lady in the world if she's a Sl*t, a cheater, nagger, selfish,egotistic and all things that you won't on a woman. outside looks don't last forever. and for those who couldn't accept the fading beauty, they would end up doing a lot of practice surgery to compensate. I'd rather have a simple person..

Your last sentence says it all. Looks are attractive when you meet people for the first time. At the end of the day it's personality that counts. Personality shines from within and normally lasts a lifetime while looks lack.

Is something relative... Because let's think about this all. When we see a person that have an attractive look and we don't know how is the personality, so we like it. But when we know the personality a lot of things can become differents. Like you can think the person attractive, but the personality makes you go insane. And so, the looks kind of lost the priority. But who wants a person that is not so attractive in the looks? It is a relative thing, in my opnion.

of course!some people tend to look on physical appearances but in the long run,you really have to know what's their real personality for you to be able to love and accept who they really are.it's not all about the looks that matters.when you accept the fact that you loved a certain person,there will always be the personality involved.you cannot love a person just because of their physical appearances. if you really love someone,it doesn't matter how he/she look like when you get older together.cause it is the personality that really matters.that's what you are always facing each day of your lives.if you just keep on focusing about physical things,you do not really love a person after all.

I believe that your personality is more attractive to people than your looks. Good looks do not stay with you forever.Your phsyical appearance changes over time. Personality can also change, but it does not change the person you are inside. Beauty is skin deep. Eventually it will fade. Your personality does not have to be a casualty of this and can always make you attactive to others.

Hi! I totally agree with you. If a person has a good heart then he or she definitely is very attractive compared to those who's personality is at it's worst.

People say this to me all the time; "Jane, you've got a great personality!", which, translated means, "I don't want to sh*g you!" Seriously though, I do feel that personality is extremely important in a long-lasting relationship, at least. I should know!

I think looks are noticed at first but as you get to know the person,the personality becomes more attractive than the looks, you can get used with the looks as you often see each other but what remains is the personality.

Each person has a different perception of what is attractive to them. We are attracted to somebody by how they look before we find out about their personality. There are tonnes of people who's personality we may love but if the attraction is not there in the 1st place the personality becomes one of the best part of your friendship & never a relationship.Both once in a relationship are equally important but i think first off it is look.

well at first maybe most will fall for the looks but i think after a few dates and "monthsary" the personality will matter most..just try to imagine living with someone pretty but boring or nagger and thats for the rest of you life

Hi! Yeah I think so too. It really depends on the persons personality and your compatibility. Cause as they say looks can be very deceiving. Thanks.

Beauty captures the eye.., but it's the personality that captures the heart.., with first glance.., we can appreciate the physical attributes.., but talking with that person and getting to know them will determine if the first impression is lasting..,=)

Lets face it, there is a difarance between how men and woman will anwser this question... well at least if the man is being honist anyway! For a man i beleave that they (for the most part not to sterio type ) are visual creatures not olny do they think diffrently than we do but they also pick who they want to spend there time with diffrently. The old atage of " you dont get aproched because a man thinks you may have a great personality." Is for the most part true men are just visualy motivated. woman however (for the most part are very emotional) we tend to bace things on how we feel. Now being atracted to someone sure helps but in the long run its the personality that will keep you together.
