I suppose ideally anyone would go for both but which one do you go for?

Yes, ideally. But let's face it--how many people have the whole package? I prefer inner beauty and brains, because after a while stupidity can bear down on a person's beauty, ultimately to override. And a bad personality/attitude can kill any great physical attribute. Of course a man without a beer gut would be nice.

Inner beauty and brains...physical beauty is a timebomb. You may be smoking hot now but where are you going to be in ten years. Hopefully your inner beauty and brains will stand the test of time. At least there's a better chance of it. Besides dumb people are annoying.

...I believe everyone's first instinctual behaviors are generally based on physical beauty. After all...what's the first thing you see when you meet someone really? You either click visually right away in the first five seconds,...or not! Absolutely inner beauty overides everything eventually. I've met some astoundingly fabulous looking people, that simply believe their whole life centers on how they visually appeal to other people outwardly. What a waste of time though. Surely beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I see odd couples all of the time in my business. Men shouldn't be prettier then women though. That would be intimidating to most women I believe. The focus of any good relationship starts visually...but moves to a mental well state of mind quite quickly. Don't get me wrong though. I like attractive looking women too,...and generally I don't feel intimidated by them for the most part. Most men are afraid of a fabulous looking women. Don't ask me why though....call it insecurity I suppose. I always seek out what I pressume to be the hottest babe in the room. If she's dumb as a box of rocks?...I'll simply move on to the next one. I adore being with trophy type women reasonably. Who doesn't like that kinda stuff really. Chemistry counts for all of the rest of one's stuff. You simply won't be with people who you constantly disagree with...and vice verse. Brains and beauty though...is a very dangerous combination in anyone. Try to seek middle ground under those kinds of circumstances. You'll simply end up with anxiety over all your buddies wanting to tease your beautiful friend away from you. Nice friends huh?

Inner beauty and brains. Cus's time can take away physical beauty, but only add to inner beauty.
BTW, your paintings look really nice.

The latter intensely moreso than the former; my great-grandfather had a saying, "beauty is as beauty does."
