If i consider the total of a woman is 10: i'd rather have 7 for personality and 3 for looks.
What i mainly look for is: a woman who is NOT moody and how is NOT judgemental and broadminded and caring. A person i'd feel being myself and open with.
Nice topic.

Certainly I will look first in personality, confidence and then appearance. Mere good appearance is many times a initial look but does not sustain long term friendship. We should not look after the money factor also. To choose a friend one should first of all study the behaviour, the personality, confidence, the faith. These things are far more important than looks.

as far it is concerned as timepass then the looks matter
but if you are seriously looking after a boyfriend or GF then better look at his smartness and kindness.
looks and money can be gained

I'll go for the attitude and the rests are secondary. I want a boyfriend who's thingking of my welfare first before anything else. That looks thing won't work for me. He may have a great looks but then he has a bad attitude or shall I say narcistic or a self centered man, well I'll dump him right away without a second thought.
I think it is every girl's dream to settle for a good man. And it would just be too good to be true if we'll end up with a very good man at this time. But I am being optimistic about it. I'm always on the search of finding my perfect man hehehe.LOL

I think personality is far more important than looks. Although looks are important in the initial stage of attraction, i.e. when you don't know someone and see them across a crowded room and your heart skips a beat or two.
That being said, once you get to know someone, personality far outweighs looks, and can make a much less attractive person, seem that much more attractive in general. When you look at the grand scheme of things, especially when picking someone with whom you want to spend the rest of your life with, an emotional connection is much more important than a physical one, but the physical attraction does have to be there on some level.
In the end, looks will fade no matter how good looking a person is as they get older. If there isn't something else there to make a relationship work, it will surely fail. Someone who is ugly on the inside will likely always be that way, just as someone beautiful on the inside will probably remain so.

Hiya babygurl,
In my humble opinion, personality and looks account for 50 percent each when looking for your respective other. I think making yourself attractive-looking, i.e. light makeup and dressing smartly are all attraction boosters. Not only would you feel confident, but it goes to show that you take pride in your self-grooming and that's a plus point.
Coming from another perspective - if you have a gregarious personality but choose to hide it behind a mask of ugliness, e.g. dressing sloppily, uncombed hair, nostril hair sticking out, you're just doing yourself a disservice and dissuading everyone else from wanting to even know you in the first place. Without this first step of letting people know that you are "approachable", you're not giving your personality a chance to shine.
Take Ugly Betty for example. She defies everything that supermodels aspire for, yet she takes the effort to make herself beautiful - braces are temporary but for a longtime benefits, she doesn't look like she just woke up from bed but she's a klutz when it comes to dressing but even that is improving.
So, invite others to get to know you in order for your personality to shine. Having said that, I believe that whoever you choose to be your gf/bf, your affection will only grow on them.
All the best in your hunt!

I think personality is better than the appearance. If a person has good appearance and does not have charachter or personality I think I do not think a person is worth. If a person has apperance and hurts other with words or is selfish etc the person is not worth. If a girl or a boy is beautiful, but is a flirt it always hurt the partner. I always belive personality of a person is better than the appearnce. Sense of humor is another thing I love to see in my girl friend and also good confidence and good commmon sense.

First of all I don't think that it is better if we look for a boyfriend/girlfriend, we should let it come to our lives. About the looks, I am not asking for a handsome guy like Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise, as long as he knows how to take care of himself then that's fine with me. I like a person whom I can talk to. I love having conversation with people that I really know and trust so I can say that I like a person who is a good listener, eventhough he is not a good story teller. I also love people who can make me laugh.

Isn't look also a part of personality?
Looks do factor in, though not a major trait. I'd rather date one with intelligence, ability to appreciate differences and respectful (towards her own self as well as others)
I am also usually attracted to women who are fiercely independent even if it is to the point of bordering feminism. I like women who have bold thoughts and are not afraid of standing by her opinion.
A trace of romantic side with the ability to glance seductively would be an added bonus :)
