I know most people judge others just by their looks, but really what does it tell them about you? I am a size fourteen. Oh my gosh I am really human and yet inspite of the fact I have so little fat on me it isn't even funny I am still considered fat by most people in my overly small town. So what is more important to you Looks or Personality?

Probably a bit of both. But I have to click with the person and have matching personalities. Looks can be temporary attraction to me, but a nice personality can improve someones looks imo.

I maybe go out of my way to dumb myself down, but I suspect anyone who met me wouldn't be disappointed, I'm not saying they will fancy me but wont be disappointed. But I wouldnt want anyone to be attracted to a photo.

totally agree on this one....at the end of the day, everyone is different and each one of us is attracted by different physical traits that can make someone attractive to our eyes! personality does improve the perception you have of a person and the chemistry does the rest.....

Its still really frustrating though because of how people have no idea about me. They seem to think I am nothing more than the fat girl who lives on a farm with a passion for animals. It makes it hard for me to find people in general who are willing to look past the outer shell. that's what i find anyway.

What do you do to show that there's more to you ? Your profile could do with a picture for starters

i'm sure you have friends, you go out and have a social life right?
well then when you interact with other people just be yourself and forget about what you look like... honestly, it works!!!
i don't consider myself a stunning woman or anything like that and i'm definitely not slim but curvy and whenever i've been out with friends to have a good time and enjoy myself i had more attention than when i was worried about my looks so my advise is relax, be yourself and forget about what other people think about yourself!!!!

I do try to get out, but when your living in a town with 2000 people, that's it. there is no real places to go to, and as for a pic. i am computer illitterate. VERY LIMITED abilities. LOL

I'd rather be with someone with average looks and a stunning personality than someone with stunning looks and an average personality in theory.
But in the real world, I can be fussy enough to expect both!

Peronality is tons more important, but I think that you do have to be physically atrracted to the person too.

Personality is def important, but you don't look across a crowded room and think "Oh, he/she has a great personality" so it starts with looks, then you get to know the person. Sadly we're all superficial wether we admit it or not, but personality can overcome looks everytime. How often have you seen the "Beauty and The Beast" scenerio? More often than you think!

Thats why i think these sites are really good as you get to know alot more about someone's personality than you ever would in a Pub or Club. I have met a few guys from here because our personalities have 'clicked' and even if we haven't gone down the dating route, we have still remained friends, which is great. I am definately attracted to someones personaility more than looks, but if he is tall, a bit rough and ready, then even better xxx Ann-Marie

Sorry, I don't quite understand. You are saying that physical attraction is essential, but personality is "tons more important" than essential?

Normally I don't complain about these things, but the logical falacies regarding this issue really bug me. Most people on here who comment about these things always try to appear noble by saying "personality is by far the most important thing" and then qualify it with "but s/he's gotta be good-looking too!"

So what you're really saying is personality isn't really more important than looks, or you wouldn't feel the need to qualify the statement. If it were, then a good personality would outweigh the lack of physical attraction.
