Be honest! What's more attractive? Personality or extremely good looks?

Question

Be ABSOLUTELY TRUTHFUL! What would you rather have? Someone who was EXTREMELY good looking or someone who was on the "meh" scale OR was ugly but they had an amazing personality with talent? Be honest. Imagine yourself in the position. What would be your immediate reaction? Would you honestly give someone a chance, even if at first glance they're not physically attractive?

I ask this because I've heard from people that claim that no matter how hard they try to be likable, that they feel that someone that they lose out to someone who is more physically attractive (even if the physically attractive person had nothing to them personality-wise).

Answer 1

i think personality is extremely important. i mean without a personality and just good looks then what do you have to offer? I personally get turned on by a man who is really intelligent and confident. i dont care if you look like a freaking model because at the end of the day you are going to be the one crying about your hair being fuked up. We are all going to get old and wrinkled and by that time we aren't going to look as attractive as we used to so why does it matter? I say personality. People who say otherwise don't know what they are missing out on. Plus if they are confident with themselves they also must be confident in bed. it has to go hand in hand, 50 - 50 in the situation.

Answer 2

Beauty comes from within...people who aren't "typically" attractive, can seem more attractive than someone who is very attractive if they have more confidence. I would argue that the people who try to be likeable, and who lose out to "more attractive" people probably are not that confident. People can sense confidence and a lack of it.



For me, the two go hand in hand. If I love a guys personality, he becomes more physically attractive to me. In fact, a lot of times, I don't think a guy is attractive at all, then I start dating him and learn about him and realize that I love his personality, and I start to think he's amazing looking.

Answer 3

This is hard to say...but true. The average person would find extremely good looks more attractive then a nice personality and 'meh' to ugly looks. It's just the way our society is, and it's really sad. We people can be so shallow.

Answer 4

There are a lot of shallow people out there who will only go strictly for looks. They aren't going to be happy when they are an old married couple, when the looks fade, and you are with someone you can't stand. I'd rather find someone who had the personality that meshed best with mine and live a happy life. Luckily I got both looks and personality with my b/f but personality is definitely way more important to me.

Answer 5

talent i dont care about --- personality is everything to me ---- if we cant have an interesting conversation then no matter how they look im not interested ---- besides when you love someone they are the most beautiful/attractive person in the world ---- the only people that take looks over personality are the immature ones

Answer 6

you already know the answer, girls flak to the guy with the great looks and style, girls fight over one hot guy, personality only matters if your an average guy who in it for the long hawl. The ugly duckling left in the corner lonely can only get with another ugly duckling. You see it in nature, same with humanoid race, we are visual creatures, if we were blind it would be a different story. That is life for you!

Answer 7

Initially which is what your asking the immediate thought ... Looks all day long .. After a while and to continue a health long relationship then personality ..

Answer 8

It is all about context. I don't care how good looking a president or surgeon or parent is... I want integrity and compassion, good judgement and fairness. But I don't expect to open playboy magazine and read about this months playmates ideas on bio-diversity or world peace.



Absolute truth... very few of my friends would win a beauty pageant, but they accept me for who I really am on good days and bad ones too.

Answer 9

physical attractiveness is what often first grabs people, but there's not enough substance to hold them, and after a short time, they break apart. personalities are the best glue, but first you gotta catch them somehow. if you can be decent/plain looking and have a great personality, thats probably your best bet

Answer 10

Answer 11

In this world, I would rather be extremely good looking because no one give a@$t about personalities.

Answer 12

Personality last longer

Answer 13
