    I'm gonna have to side with personality. As cliche as it's been stated in this thread, looks are the bait and personality is the cage that locks you in. Granted, looks are important. Let's take myself as an example.

    There is this absolutely beautiful girl that I'm in love with, but she only likes me as a friend. She's nice, sweet, and caring. She's also got decently sized breasts, a smoking hot body, and a nice butt. She's got long, blonde, curly hair that's absolutely gorgeous. What first drew me to her? I saw her in her cheerleading uniform and thought she was really hot. That was almost 2 years ago. Now, her and I are really good friends. I love her. She likes me as a friend. I've come to see that she's beautiful, inside and out.

    That makes the whole, "Looks can be deceiving" thing pretty true. I'm sure if you guys had seen her, you wouldn't assume she's #4 in her class of 500, works on the yearbook, is a JV cheerleader(varsity next year), and is on varsity swim team. I didn't. My male instinct said, "She pretty, must mate." To this day, I'm still trying to get together with her.

    I've digressed enough. If that look into my personal life has shown anything, it's that it's UNDENIABLE that guys or girls will go for the guy with the great personality over the one on the eyes. They will always befriend the personality and date the looks. Overtime, it may flip-flop, it may not. But that's usually the trend.

    This post was close to ODing of truth and win.

    There is still the matter of whether we should believe this story. Your posts and profile don't look like a 20 year old's at all. If what you say is true then you're right when you say that some people don't care about looks but unfortunately I don't believe it is. :)

    I'd also like to point out that just because someone is pretty, doesn't make her a stuck-up whore. It's entirely possible to have someone who's pretty, smart, and has a great personality. It's also possible to have someone who's ugly and a complete b!tch. Which is why you have to get to know someone before knowing what they're like.

    as a wise man once said: "how can you love a girl if you can't look at her?"

    personalities change, shift, adapt.
    her face won't.

    Your wise man is quite a dumbass. He's implying that love between a woman and a blind man can't exist. But why not? I see no reason why it couldn't. If that was a joke post, then I fell for it.

    I gladly admit that looks play an important role in the whole pairing up phenomenon. However ******ed quotes such as "How can you love a girl if you can't look at her?" are quite likely untrue.

    Also, personalities do change but not necessarily for the worse. Partners often have a positive influence on eachother (only rarely a negative one since couples experience the disadvantages of that sooner rather than later). Looks do not, not to that extent at least.

    People growing older must be my imagination then.

    I, of course, think personality is the most important thing. But it it would be nice to look good, right? But of course it's nowhere as important as the inside(c'mon, I'm still good inside).

    I personally don't think personalities change, but that's just me...

    I think just about everything changes with time. Looks and personality included.

    I think it's both.

    Personality because it'd be stupid to hang with someone beautiful who's a real ******andor*****.

    But Physical attraction is also very important in a relationship with anyone. If you're uncomfortable around them or awkward with them because you and them aren't "physically compatible" or something weird like that, then it's screwed anyways. Because no one wants an awkward relationship.

    Though, I'm not the shallow type and I chose personality over looks in the majority of situations. A go
    od personality can make a person seem more pleasing to the eye anyways. :3

    You'd only be fooling yourself if both didn't matter in some (equal) respect. You can't seriously feel that having an interesting conversation is enough to fuel a relationship where you're not at least partially physically attracted to the person.

    Everyone who says "personality" is a ****** and should go hang themselves. The first thing you do when you see a person is size them up and observe their physical features. You will act more nicely to a person who's "beautiful" according to the social norms compared to someone who is "ugly".

    You're all black people.

    I guess that's what's so great about the internet, you can't see the other person, so you can believe that they look exactly like their icon picture...

    But for a relationship and if I can hold a conversation with someone, it depends on their personality (granted there was a study that showed that people who were considered more attractive were better conversationalists than...um, uglies.)
