I voted looks as if a woman only compliments you on your personality then that means she doesn't consider you boyfriend material. But if she says you have good looks then that means she fancies you.

But they would to have good looks first wouldn't they? Otherwise you wouldn't end up speaking to them in the first place.

What you really mean is you have dated guys who weren't as good looking as the type you had hoped to get, but still reasonably good looking none the less. As no one dates people they don't think look reasonably attractive.
do nt put words in my mouth, i said what i wrote, i have dated guys that some people wouldnt look twice at... but i took time to get to know them, and i have found them attractive..
i dont just chat to good looking people, im not that shallow

I have dated men who when I first met them I found unattractive physically. But as we got to know each other, and became good friends, I fell deeply for their personaity and that sort of projected itself on their physical appearance. To me, if a person is beautiful inside, that's reflected in the way they look on the outside. Personality is really the most important thing to me. I would be lying if I said looks didn't matter at all - of course they do - but looks are also relative. And people can become more and more attractive over time. Just because they don't make you want to jump into bed with them the first time you see them doesn't mean anything.

As for me, it's hard. I think personality is more important in almost all cases, but I've been called a "nice girl" or a "smart girl" so many times it would be nice for once to be called pretty. But for the most part, I'd take personality any day.


Possibly sums up a problem with internet dating, people want to see nice photos of people [possibly including me], probably the best one picked from about 20/30. People can get taken in by them and they don't always portray the real person.

I've often thought maybe these sites would work better if no one put a pic up. then people would read what was written rather then just looking at the pics. Also some people would have to put more in their profiles.

I like that idea personally, but I also think it has some problems. While personally I hate it when the first thing a guy asks for is a picture, but on the other hand, I'm not naive enough to believe that appearance isn't important. A relationship isn't going to work without some sort of attraction, after all.

But I think perhaps there's a bit too much concentration on attraction. Most people are going to be average looking. Some a bit better, some a bit worse. What really sets people apart from each other is personality, and that's what should be important.


I agree....I haven't got many good up to date photo's, I'm a bit camera shy so I rarely put one up. But my personality shines through, and does win some over Wink ...just my age lets me down, I'm thinking about lying about that Laughing ..people say I look younger, but then some tell the truth Confused

But I am bit of an hypocrite on that because I look at profiles with pictures first. But looks don't last for ever, until the next morning with some women Surprised ..but personality normally does.

nb: I'm sure all the women on here still look lovely the next morning Wink

looks is generally what first attracts peeps to each other, as bliss was saying a healthy fit person is more likely to have healthy fit children according to the primal part of our brain.

Hence most animals put on a 'mating' display to attract a partner - the ones with the best display get laid Laughing

Personality is what we more base long term relationships on - looks are great for a one night stand, but if they're as thick as two short planks are ya really gonna wanna spend a long time with em?

On a personal note however, i get told i have a nice personality all the time, it would make a great change if i was told i had a nice ass Razz

It's true that attraction is the basis for a relationship.

It was a certain person's smile that actually attracted me to them in the first place, although it was their personality that made me set a date to see them. And although I've never seen this person's ass (amongst the other things he's shown me lol) I'm sure it's as fine as the rest of him.
We'll have to see if my personality wins out against looks when we meet.....
