What matters more, beauty or personality?

I am getting so sick of everyone thinking if someone is not beautiful on the outside they arent worth anything. I believe if you are attracted to the personality..you will then find the person attractive. This can however, not be reversed..you cannot be attracted to someones outside beauty and that will attract you to their personality, no. What matters more to you?

Both beauty and personality are important in human's life and i think to get success a human needs the combination of both beauty and personality Not only this we need to utilize these combination very reasonable and then only we will get our success.

May be you are right,beauty and personality are impoatant in human's life.But if we must choose one,i think i will choose personality,because only personality can keep for ever.Though you are beautiful now,you will be more and more old.and you won't be beautiful any more.Then you loss your attraction.

Very good point both of you! Thank you for your response. I do think beauty has a little bit to do with it but my decision wouldnt be based upon it completely. I have to be honest, if I wasnt at all attracted to someone, I dont think I could be with them, there has to be some attraction from the get go then when you fall in love..the attraction gets stronger!

so true! If you love a person for their heart and soul then they do magically appear beautiful (or handsome) on the outside. And no matter what people tell you, when you meet someone that loves you just for you, they won't care how you look. And, when you meet someone that is deep and intelligent and funny and just makes your world spin, you won't care if they have a wart on their nose and are two hundred pounds overweight. It's the magic of love. Guess the same counts for friends and friendship too. The heart if blind! Thank goodness.

Good response! Friendship is the same unless your in a popularity contest! The person does magically appear beautiful after you love the person!

Personally, I'll choose friends and a life partner who have great personalities. In my opinion, you can't be happy in a long run when you choose beauty per se. Beauty can be fade because of time but personality will be forever. You can't guarantee that your beautiful friends or partner are compatible with you.
According to the research, beautiful people definitely get more attention and everything. It is a human nature because people are always attracted to beauty. Beauty means good. Our brains often react pleasantly when seeing beauty and we often become irrational. We tend to forget that humans are not products. Humans are complex. They consist of many factors (i.e., traits, preferences, thinking, etc).
So, it is a cliche thing if someone tells me that he is not attracted to a beautiful person. In my opinion, people are definitely attracted to other's outer appearance. It is common that people tend to view outside appearance rather than inside appearance. Because inside appearance is often difficult to be seen. It needs time to know others' personalities and most people may not have an ability to "read" others.

I think personality is more important than looks.But unfortunately most people,especially men are attracted by beautiful looks.This is easy to understand,Cuz we don't know the personality at the first sight,it takes time to know a person.And most wise men would like to choose their wives with nice personality rather than good looks.Good luck to all those with nice personality but do not have a nice looking.

You are right, a lot of men dont care about the personality at first, usually they are about the looks. I cannot say all of them because there are men that are with women you would think they wouldnt be with, I like to see men like that, they are in love and not all about looks, its cute!

Oh definitely personality! I have met so many gorgeous people (on the outside) but they just don't have interesting or even nice personalities. I even think some of them are wasting their outlooks because people would be really disappointed if we get to know them. I think personalities really count because that what makes me attracted to them and if they have an interesting or good personality, I think gradually they look beautiful on the outside too!

That is exactly how I feel! You can easily be attracted to their looks if they have a beautiful personality. I could nor would ever settle for someone because they are handsome with a horrible personality!

i prefer personality of the person whom i will be loved.Its useless to find beauty if his personality is not good.We relationship the most importance is how to show loved with your loveone.

Thank you for your response! I agree with you. When your in love, looks arent the core of the apple.

To me personality weighs heavier than beauty as beauty is temporary and fragile bounded by Time's sickle, whereas personality remains strong not to be fooled by Time.

Looks are nice, but it does not make a person. You can be really nice looking, but without a real personality, What do you have? Looks don't last forever.
