Is attraction only limited to outer appearance? Is that the single most important factor?
-Or-
What are some of the most important factors or qualities that a person should posses in order for you to be attracted to them?
If there were other things that attracted you could you look pass a persons outer appearance, or would that still be important?

Personality. If they have a good personality, and their heart is in the right place, then they have my attraction. They just need to be friendly to anyone, and know how to respect other people. Appearance plays a role, but it really isn't too big in my case.

My initial attraction is usually based on the physical attributes.
In order for that attraction to last I really need someone to possess certain character traits such as intelligence, confidence, a sense of humor, drive for life, motivation, and basic principles and morals that are similar to mine.
Don't get me wrong here but before meeting my husband it was also important for me to find someone who was financially sound. Which he was. The reason being is that I had my own money already and didn't want to date or marry someone that would have put me in the poorhouse.

The physical appearance is what catches my eye first & foremost, but its the personality, intelligence & sense of character that can keep me hooked. I've known many beautiful people outwardly who as soon as they open their mouths began to look like the most hideous creatures. And i also know some who may be less physicalky pleasing but have great personalities & are extremely smart & it does a lot for them, makes them desirable.

When I first saw my boyfriend, I fell in lust. Then after being just friends and getting to know him over a few months, I fell completely head over heels in love. I would have to say that it was his looks that made me want to get to know him better, but it's his kindness, sense of humor, intelligence and generosity that have kept us a couple for over 2 years now. I still feel like I am the luckiest person in the world to have him, and I tell him almost every day.
As to your other question, I don't really consider myself a shallow person, and say that my boyfriend was not as good looking. I think that it would have been a little slower for us to get together, but it would have happened after getting to know him. I just would have missed out on those couple of months where it took every last will I had not to just jump on him.
I still don't know what attracts him to me. But I do know that we love each other very much!

Honestly, i go for eyes.
Eyes are the window to your soul, adn i believe you can tell a happy person or sad in them.
Phereomones are also something i noticed, i love the smell of my boyfriend when he has been working out, but not of his brother. Its certain taints of smell through their hormones that attract the oppisite sex, for the different genes!

The physical is always going to be what draws you into someone, but its what's on the inside that's going to keep you around. A bad attitude can make anyone ugly real quick.

Appearance, I also have a hair fetish... I like a guy that has longish dark hair... the emo type... kinda fem... like Davey Havok, but he also has to be intelligent and kinda brooding...creative and artistic
