  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Which is the most important to you? Both? Be honest with yourself. I know many would say personality, but what's really in your heart? Is it okay to ask God for a good-looking person that also has good qualities? Won't appearance change over time?

Personality wins hands down. I fall for the person they are (or who I think they are but that's another topic.). That's where my attraction lies.

That's truth truth with me.

Personality. A guy could look like an underwear model and I wouldn't be the least bit interested unless he was kind and compassionate, etc.


exactly




Also, it's a deeper attraction that no one can change my mind about when it happens. It's long lasting and the relationship is soo much better when you can love every aspect of someone. Both sides benefit.

Personality is definitely what I look for first. Of course, it's perfectly possible to have both in a mate and there's nothing wrong with wanting both. I just find that when the inside is beautiful it makes the outside and everything else infinitely more beautiful.

I think it's still pretty awesome that I read everything you write in Fry's voice...

Also, I go for both. Looks are what attract me initially, but personality is what keeps me puddy in her hands :p; though, I had no idea what my current crush looked liked before I started fallin' for her. She just became that much more awesome when I found out she was so adorably cute.

Both are important to me, but I place more value on personality. A woman can do a lot with her looks. Clothes, makeup, hair, fitness etc. These things can be changed, and I'll still get along with her when I don't find her choices aesthetically pleasing. Personality, on the other hand, is more constant and pervasive. If our personalities clash, then being around each other for extended periods of time will be unpleasant. It's fairly easy to find women who look pretty, but it's harder to find a woman whose personality clicks with mine. I'd rather be alone than have a girlfriend who is little more than arm candy. If we can't engage pleasant and meaningful conversation, then pursuing a relationship with her would be a waste of time. Not that I'm interested in dating women who look unattractive to me. Beauty and a good personality are desirable traits in their own way. It's just that personality is the more elusive and vital of the two.

I am one who thinks that a person's personality makes them look more attractive to me. There have been many times when I wasn't necessarily attracted to someone, but once I got to know them, I fell for them because they were beautiful to me.

Ultimately - personality and all that involves (values, beliefs etc) is what makes her a "keeper" - but unfortunately - and being honest here - if I don't find her attractive then I usually don't get that far.

The reason I can still say personality is because no matter how physically attractive to me she is - if she has an ugly personality it ruins that physical attractiveness to me and I cease to be interested.

The mind breaks down too...just slower than the body. ;) What are you all going to do when your mate goes senile and ugly? :p

Sometimes people show sides that you or even they themselves didn't know existed. So really...no matter how one thinks about it, no matter the fantasies they have in their heads of love and their perfect mate...it will always be a gamble in the end.

For me it has to be both. Without good looks, personality doesn't mean anything because a romantic life by definition assumes romantic physical affection and I won't have sex with someone I think is ugly. However looks only do so much. I don't want to just be around someone I can look at or have sex with. I see pretty girls everyday I go to the store, drive, and do my everyday life. I want a girl that has a personality that is workable with mine. A personality that I just can't get enough of.

I don't ask god for these things. I don't believe in god. I just try to find someone and when I do, I try my best and hopefully she tries her best and the outcome will always be left open and uncertain. I have learned...it is better that way...being uncertain about love and relationships.

mmm I like my girls to have a sexy looksonality!

Ditto :D

I'm not looking for a supermodel, I just want someone who's not hard on my eyes. I don't want to wake up, look toward the other side of the bed and think the zombie apocalypse has begun. On the other side, there no chance I'd knowingly marry Ms. Sexy Hot if she's contentious and drives me crazy.

I have become more attracted to someone's looks after I got to know them a little better though...
