  • 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.

Personality is more important, although I am attracted to looks first. I have had occasions where I wasn't attracted to her looks, but gained an overall attraction because of personality. I am not going to say looks don't matter, but personality is numero uno (number one)

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.
This.

A man is attractive and appealing to me because of his personality.

Personality means a lot, but what matters more is whether or not the girl's personality clicks with mine. She can have the most loving and gracious personality, and a face for billboards, but if we can never find the same wavelength, it just won't work.

I'm mercenary. I go for their bank account.
(I'm incapable of having a serious answer to this question anymore)

Dead horses have personality, it's just not their own. You can't host a scavenger party without attracting a few bold personalities.

Anyway

Both are important. Which I believe is the standard answer. To be long winded about it I care about looks more than it seems I should. Perhaps I care about looks and personality more than I should.

I will not date someone I find unattractive, even if I think their personality is amazing i'm not going to "give it a go". No-one has ever become more attractive to me due to their personality, i've enjoyed their company, found them pleasant, and thought that they'd make a good husband one day; but not for me.

My thoughts have never changed when it comes to someone like that. Usually if there have been people i've seemingly developed attraction to later on I never found them unattractive, I had just not considered them in terms of relationship potential. There's a difference.

On the flip side I can find someone very attractive and still not want to be in a relationship with them as their personality is not one that gels with mine. They do not necessarily have an ugly personality, but what they do have is an outlook on life that I do not share. I do not find them less attractive physically, they are just

Neither is more important than the other to me, they each become important at different stages and for different reasons.
