Answer 2

Looks get you noticed. Personality keeps them interested. People seem to think they can get by on looks alone--and in a way they can--they can get lots of dates--lots of different dates. Because if they have lousy personalities few people are going to want to go out with them more than a few times. On the other hand, it's harder for less attractive people to GET dates, but if they have great personalities then they are more likely to find a steady partner. If you have both good looks and a good personality--you're GOLDEN! Without either looks OR personality--good friggin' luck pal.

Answer 3

Every lady I have ever dated was different and I was attracted to alot of things over the years. I do believe that personallity is more important as jt does not age poorly. (well unless the person you are looking at is just a loser then they probably did not have much going on anyway)

Answer 4

Looks catch your attention but personality and behavior either hold it or lose it. Someone doesn't have to be drop dead gorgeous to catch a person's eye. Maybe its the way they walk or talk or hold a cup of coffee, even how the cologne mixes with your chemistry (or doesn't). Could be how they "handle" the person they are with. Are they polite; eye contact; respectful; or do your eyes wander around the room when your date is talking to you? Do you take cell phone calls when on a date, or let them roll to voice mail?

You can be the most handsome man on earth, but if you suck at making a woman feel as though she's the only person in the room when you're with her .... Buddy You Suck!

Answer 5

I read once that a woman in a feedsack, that was scrubbed clean, with neat clean hair, was attractive. And a woman in a 400 dollar dress, that looked as if her make up had been slept in was not attractive.
I think that goes for men also. Does he slurp his food and drink, or eat neatly and quietly. Does he smell fresh, as if he just showered, with his trousers ironed and his shirt tucked in his pants.
Does he interupt you when you are having a conversation, or does he really listen.
Is he truthfull, or does he just say things, that he knows will impress you.
Remember some of those people in school who are jocks, will not make the long haul as in good husbands or fathers.

Answer 6

Looks are what attract a guy in the first place. And then they really start to like you if you have a great personality. So both are important, personality a little more so in most cases.

Answer 7

No. The two don't go hand in hand. First of all you can have one without the other.

If you find that person who happens to have both qualities then you are doing great.

Most guys prefer looks over personality any day.

Answer 8

Looks and personality are not equal in the dating world.
What makes someone attractive to me, is getting the time to know the person that I would feel comfortable and safe being alone with him.

Trust me, looks can be very deceiving.

Answer 9

Most people nowadays in the dating scene are targeting looks.So many are superficial,callous and shallow.They don't take into account a persons character,personality,compassion,etc.They don't look beyond the surface.Superficial beauty is only skin deep.The REAL BEAUTY of a person comes from within.

Answer 10

Of course, the first thing that I notice about a guy is his face (first thing you see) but, what matters most to me is what is underneath all of that. I have found that the most handsome guy in the world could be a complete jerk (you know I wanted to say something else other than "jerk") once he opens his mouth. For me, if a guy is articulate, charming, funny and sweet when he speaks to me, it doesn't matter what he looks like, the more attractive he becomes to me. Like the saying goes "Beauty fades, dumb is forever".

Answer 11

Looks are the first thing that usually catches your attention, but personality is by far the most important. I have found men that are not at all "good looking" by other's standards_ HOT! Sense of humor and kindness are a real turn on. :O)
