Your personality effects your attractiveness.

Psychology ""Often, both women and men focus entirely on their appearance when trying to be physically attractive. They worry that they won't get a date without a young complexion and an hourglass figure (women), or chiseled abs and a tall, muscular body (men). They also believe that physical attractiveness is an objective and stable feature (that can't be changed without surgery, push-up bras, or hours in the gym).

But, are potential dating partners really that superficial?

Good news, they're not. You don't have to obsess over ideal physical features. Shorter men or heavier women need not despair. The "pretty" and "handsome" should pay attention too. Part of physical attraction really is subjective. It is "in the eye of the beholder". Furthermore, that subjective eye of physical attraction is easily influenced - by your personality. As it turns out, "who you are on the inside" does count. It even changes how others actually see you on the outside! Apparently, beauty is not just "skin deep". Your personality counts too. Make the most of it!

Certainly, there are limitations to this effect. Physical features unquestionably have an influence on attractiveness. But, personality seems to go a long way as well. So, make sure your personality is keeping you as attractive as possible too.""

As the saying goes "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" The personalty is a mask from the Greek persona. The "Character" is the true self. One a person tap into their true self, they will be who they are without fear of the opinions of others and will no longer seek attention. Know thy self and be thy self then one can find someone who love them for who they are. If feels good to be an alien not following the crowd. lol.
@winfrey...Hi wave

interesting blog....I agree with Happy we do live in a visual society and appearances do count with the initial contact with another.....but then it is up to the personality and characters of both parties to fuel that relationship....professor

Old fashion dating is one way to see how people are over time. This is because over time different situations arise therefore bringing to the surface who they truly are. A lot of relationships fail because most people basically jump into a relationship with a stranger.
winfrey777, I agree on that article completely.

I think physical features may attract people at the beginning, but what really makes a person falls in love with someone is definitely personality.Then, the most important thing is what people are on the inside. wave
