What Attracts People to You? Your Personality or Looks?

I am an unremarkable looking person, but I do have the type of personality that seems to attract soem people. I am never the most popular person in the group but can be outspoken and seems to appeal to some.

When I was younger I attracted people with my looks....boys will always be boys...they like pretty girls. It actually did NOT flatter me to be honest. I never wanted to be liked because of my physical features. Like you, I have a very good sense of humour. I even won in a comedy skit I wrote back in high school. I love making people laugh. I like being in a crowd. I hate seeing people looking sad and depressed. I always find a way to cheer them up. I always want to be liked for my personality, not my looks. Well I'm a mother of 2 girls now (15 and 12 yrs old) and I keep on telling them don't let boys like you because you have pretty faces...you have to be liked for your inner beauty. Beauty will fade away but good personality should last forever.

I don't know what is there in me that is so attractive to others that it sometimes make me wonder. Maybe my friendly disposition and my talkative nature is my strongest point to make anyone be comfortable around me. First impression counts a lot and I am one that is not stingy in flashing my smile to anyone I meet for the first time. This free smile is something that is inviting and can easily magnetize a stranger. It comes automatic when I meet anybody and this has become my trademark which benefit my business a lot. I am no stranger when it comes to public relation as I can easily strike conversation with anyone and that person will end up having a strong impression of me.

I think, my looks dun really attract much ple as compared to personality?? Or maybe vice versa too?? lol =D Looks do play an important part in real life, for first impression counts.. BUt when it comes to online, personality plays a much important part as they will reflect what kind of person we are ^_^ If one can be attracted to us via personality, it shows that we have got what it takes, to cheer them up ^_^ Making them looking forward to us.. haha =D And that's how i got my mommy here!! lol =D

It definitely isn't my looks! People are attracted to my personality. I like to laugh, have a good time but I also have a very serious and contemplative side and I can be a very deep thinker. Men latch onto me as a sister or best friend, I don't attract too many women.

I think its the personality and i believe that is what it counts after all. With the looks only you dont go further but having a good personality counts a lot.

When I was younger and considered not too bad looking I think it was my looks that initially attracted them to me but it was my personality and character that made them become real friends with me.

Hello there! I have alot of love for myself as well. I was never thought of that way either. I think your love of people shows through. I think that your personality, realism and sense of purpose shows through and is what attracts people as well as the outer shell. Most people have very good characteristics.

The beauty here is that we can get to know one another and looks don’t get in the way! I don’t consider myself an ugly person but having said that I rarely look in the mirror because as I have grown older I have learnt not to place that much importance on looks and work on my personality instead. Being a woman I allow vanity does to take over sometimes. A good sense of humour is one of the most attractive qualities...

of course, personality is an important parts to attracts people on me. i'm a ordinary person with an simple face.lol,you can find the same face on street,in my opinion,a good relationship always standed by a long time,outter beauty can not be attract somebody for ever.good luck and have a nice day!

I would like to say that most people would agree with me when I say it is my personality and presence. I know when I used to work outside of the home before I strictly worked for my own business, I'd gain a number of friends the first day I was at a place of employment because I like to talk to everyone, be kind to everyone, include everyone, make light of any and all situations, etc. The one thing I've noticed attracts people to others is an optimistic, fun attitude. I didn't always have that kind of attitude and was a loner most my life. Then a life altering event caused me to drastically change...and now I've got people I can't get away from that I've worked with, etc. Not that I'd want to get away from them...they just really want to keep in touch with me, and it feels good to know they care about keeping me in their lives! Another thing is like you mentioned...a silly sense of humor. Someone who finds humor in any and all things is one that attracts people like a magnet. I like to make people laugh myself...I like to do corny little dances in public to embarrass myself and make my friends or husband laugh. I love having fun in situations where people really...shouldn't. Haha! I tend to get comments from strangers when I go into public places..."How much coffee did you drink this morning?" and "What in the world made you so happy?" I think the very way I present myself to people also lets them open up to me. I can have fun, I can give advice, but I can also listen intently and offer feedback to people's problems, etc. I once went grocery shopping with my husband and ended up staying there for an hour talking to a woman about her health condition...her life growing up, why her parents wouldn't talk to her after she moved out, etc. My poor husband was done grocery shopping and leaning on the cart by that point, but at least the woman got to pour her feelings out to someone who cared, even though I never saw her before and haven't seen her since. I admire you for trying to brighten other's days...doing this myself on an everyday basis, I definitely know that not enough people care about the general feelings and moods of others, especially strangers. If I make a happy comment to someone and they scowl, just laugh and continue. There's another person down the line in the midst of a horrible day who can take that comment and roll with it.

Call me anything you want but I'd go for looks before the personality. I know some of you would choose personality, I don't know what's wrong with me but often times I'd go for looks. Personality just comes in second. I mean, you can find a guy/girl who's good looking and at the same time has good personality right?

many of my friends new or old they just attracted to my personality at first..becuase they said that im a happy go lucky person where loved to laugh out loud and having a good sense of humor.. im not a person that having a very good look but still grateful what god gives me..sometimes people said im cute LOL =D dont too humble for yourself..for me personality comes first even we dont have a charming look..moreover what a waste if charming look is come with a annoying personality?

I prefer to know people because of there personality, that is what lasts over times

I always go for someone's personality, although I have to admit that looks help me form my first impression about a person. But I don't let looks blind me from the truth about a person. Just because a person is beautiful doesn't mean that he or she is also beautiful inside, and just because a person is ugly doesn't mean that he or she is also ugly inside.

hi miraclefreebies well i am a certainly a lot more open here posting this and that over here at mylot, but you would be amazed to see me in real life i guess, i am the silent speak less mysterious kinds, i have seen the expressions on other's faces, people who are never going to understand me, they always keep wondering about me, i don't look any special just another ordinary guy... but something has got to do with my personality i am sure, and i know it attracts many people, i may look mean but you can only know after having frequent conversations with me... i just feel quite open expressing myself here, but meet me in real and notice

unfortunately most people are attracted to me first because of my looks. i never wanted to look like i do (some people think i look like angelina jole with smaller lips and shorter) but i'm stuck with it so i have to weed out the people who come to me out of physical attraction and have no care for my personality and the ones who do like who i really am. i like to think i have a good personality a lot of people like me and think i'm cool tho i know i'm prone to being a big meanie sometimes.

Both I dunno, I have a good personality so probably that first and I'm quite humorous.

well i know i got personality, im sure most people a drawn to my charisma and ability to be "out going" i dont look to bad id say but whats the scale of what looks are really worth....

personality is more important than on physical attributes of a person.. You are beautiful if you have a good personality.
