Do you base your criteria for dating on looks first or personality first? ( Archived) (67)

I was wondering how many of people go for looks first or personality first?So i came up with this simple poll.Comments will be most welcome.

I think, when dating on line....personality is forst, by far. Because you don't REALLY know what that person looks like. So you build an interest in that person before you ever meet.

When dating real time...I think it's the appearance that makes you want to get to know the person better.

Even as a kid I found that looks do not mean a thing as far as the kind of person another would like to choose as a loved one. You can find knock down pretty ladies and very sweet personalities but not often both in the same preson. You can find combinations in degrees but what people look for is not found often. If this is found, the person is already married.

I look for personality. I don't care how pretty she may be, if she does not have the right stuff inside.......gone!



It is like a car, if it runs good and is plain or ugly.......good!

If it is decked out with all the best and will never run.......it ain't worth crap!


It is getting hard to fine a truly sweet personality, that knows what is truly important if like. Very very hard!

But Rilly. if you were standing in line at wal-mart, and saw a really ugly woman, would would want to get to know what kind of personality that woman has?? Answer honestly now!!

True! I talk to people all the time. Everywhere I go. So if i meet and talked to a woman that was ugly and she was sweet...I would be attracted to her.

Fact! There was a woman (ten years ago) I meet that was very plain and had a large face mole on the side of her face. She was one of the sweetest women I have meet in a long time. She dress old fashioned and would not appeal too many. Even as I speak now I feel my heart warming. There is a woman now in town that is not a raven beauty, she is married, but if my time was better and she was not married, I would go after her in second.

Looks are fine for looking......inside is that which is loved.

if you wanna be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife

if you wanna be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty man your husband

maybe the 2nd one doesn't rhyme but it works both ways

I think people go for both. Intially, though, it is mostly physical attraction that draws a person to someone--if they are unappealing physically, people usually don't pursue it. However, if you get to know someone first in the natural course of your daily life, like I have done usually with the men I eventually gottn invovled with, you become attracted to their personality. So, I have had good, long term relationships with men I would not have initially been drawn to because of their looks. Having said that, they were basically nice looking guys, in my opinion, meaning I still have to feel a physical attraction too.
