I'm conducting a field study to prove that most relationships are about physical attraction more than personality.

Also in my research I have discovered that most people who get cheated on and abused are in a relationship that is based soley on physical attraction.

Research also shows that 75% of people don't find their soul mates because they have a pre fixed image of their perfect spouse that they skip over people who don't fit that pre determined image.

45% of all relationships based mostly on physical attraction end up in separation.

Your research is true. Most people that meet for the first time is physical attraction. Then you notice everything else. A friend of mine wanted to introduce me to a guy. I met him and I was not attracted to him in the least. Not my type or nothin. Alot of my friends knew about the arrangement and I told them no im not atrracted to him. Well, they talked me into giving him a chance. So I did. I faithfully dated him to see if there could be any chance on my part. Six months past and I never became attracted to him. His personality was okay but it just didn't work; So people might say i look for personality im sure they do, i too would like a guy with a great personality , but there is and has to be some kind of attraction you have to that person. Physical attraction IS a big thing . Good Luck with your research!

Your research hit the nail right on the head. Most people like you say have a pre-fixed image in their head of the perfect person that they would love to spend the rest of their life with. This pre fixed image tends to be all they look for and end up passing up on some great people. Now I'm not saying you should go look for the most non attractive person out there but you should not just avoid people because they do not match your ideal image of the perfect mate. I believe like you that people should look more at your personality more than looks....

Well I wasn't THAT physically attracted(he is good looking but not gorgeous) to my ex until his personality(fake) won me over turned out he only liked me for physical attraction I guess and was abusive later on in the relationship. He is still a somewhat physically attractive person but his real personality makes him a complete turn off.
I agree with the answer below mine sort of you have to have an attraction but not just based on looks even if they aren't the best looking they become more so if they have the right personality. Its more about their actions. Even if they are the best looking guy ever I wouldn't be attracted to them if their personality was awful. Problem is its hard to tell who is being real and who is being fake.

Physical attraction is important, but not the biggest priority... the first should be a emotional understanding and connection.. it's the person that counts... it probably is true that most people look too strongly at the physical side and maybe that's why so many relationships fail.

Yes, initially it starts with the physical attraction. I need to have him look half way decent. But definitely without communication, you won't have much of a relationship. It's no fun having a sexual relationship and the communication sucks. Above all personality is a must.

You'll get mild support from me...you have to have a spark, and that often comes from physical attraction at first, but the enduring traits that keep you attracted to someone are sense of humor and honesty...

I think the initial attraction is purely physically based. But once that initial meeting it becomes personality based.

I am very selective when it comes to dating. I am probably the exception to the rule. I don't jump into bed with someone just because they are attractive. A good down to earth, fun loving, attitude is a must with me. Hope this helps your study.

i'd be lying if i say that i don't look at good looking guys. but based on my experiences, i've liked random guys -- some were good looking, some were not but had great personalities.
guys no matter how good looking, if their personalities suck and they're arrogant and disrespectful towards other women, it's a big turn OFF! never will i like them again i can assure you that. once i've been turned off, there's no going back.
as i grew older, my taste in men has changed. now, the typical guys i like are hardworking, humble, honest and number one thing very important is respect. what i do is i look at how the guys treat their families -- their parents, siblings etc. because my mom has always told me to look at how he treats them because that's how he's going to treat me.

Ha, I seem to be in love with someone that is not very attractive, and he has a very harsh, unpredictable personality. When we are alone he is wonderful and treats me like a princess, but he is very critical of his other friends. I am the only one that sees who he really is!
