Who would be the better partner? (please see below)?

Question

An unattractive but interesting person (Cyrano de Bergerac) or a dull, attractive person (Christian de Neuvillette)

Answer 1

Interesting has much more possibilities.

How can you even enjoy the attractiveness when you are falling asleep out of boredom?

Answer 2

Go with interesting. Looks tend to blur after a couple of years even if the person is still attractive. Having someone interesting is much better--ironically (given your question) being interesting is actually a quite attractive feature.

Answer 3

I agree with the person who said the interesting person would be the better partner for the long-term. You don't want to grow old with a bore. But when you're young and out looking for a good time, some short-term flings with a hott dullard isn't out of the question. :D

Answer 4

The unattractive but interesting person. If a person has qualities you admire, you usually find something attractive about him outside of traditional good looks. For example, I find Woody Allen attractive but he is not good looking in any way, shape, or form. I find him charming which endears me to his looks.

Answer 5

Most definitely Cyrano, he is a wonderful intellectual.

Answer 6

an unattractive but interesting person, in the long-term.

Answer 7

I find that the older I get .... the more I lean towards "unattractive & interesting".

Answer 8

Interesting - Looks will fade.

Answer 9

Interesting, you don't have to look at them, but hearing them is real hard to ignore.
