RE: Do you base your criteria for dating on looks first or personality first?

To be honest, I begin with looks first. That being said, if she looks great but has a bad attitude or a personality I'm not getting along with, I still wouldn't date her. But realistically, looks are first simply because (i) that's most likely the first thing I would have encountered that caught my attention and (ii) if I'm not happy about my date's looks and find "distracted" by other women who look much better then it's not fear to my date because that will only bring about insecurities and problems. Therefore, when I choose a date, I'd choose one whose appearance I'm pleased with. Realistically, as well, I expect the opposite from my date so I try to keep myself looking good.
