Would you sacrifice...

looks for personality?

I'm not saying BUTCH FUGLY, but settle for a cute chick with a great personality, or hope to find one day a smoking hot chick with that same personality....

Maybe it's me, but i feel like the hotter a chick is, the less they offer in terms of personality. I know looks/beauty is subjective, and alot of the guys here think their girlfriends/wives are gorgeous, so bare with me....

I dont hot chicks offer less personality but since they know they're hot they think that their looks supercede any of their other downfalls. That in terms makes them think they're sh*t dont stink. I sacrificed a small standard of mine with my fiance because of what she brought to the table. I always went after women that had a decent balance of breast and ass and if I couldnt have that I went after breast. Well she's the complete opposite and actually wanted to get implants but I'm totally against that so I just make do with what she has and have been doing so for the last 5 years.

Let me ask you this:

Would you sacrifice personality for looks? The complete opposite of your original question.

Why would you think you would have to "settle" for someone with average appearance if she had a great personality? You shouldn't be settling for anything. You should instead focus on the entire package. A lousy personality makes anyone ugly real quick, regardless of their outward appearance. The opposite can be said of someone with a great personality regardless of their looks.

Looks only provide immediate and temporary gratification. Someone who makes you laugh and happy never fades or gets old.

In the same token, why date someone you aren't attracted to?

Attractive to you does not necessarily equate to everyone else's definition of hot either.... It's all about how you feel.

I always found that a woman with a great personality was more attractive overall. You always need to be physically attracted to each other to start a relationship. You'd better be in love with who that person is to sustain one.

When you meet the right person at the right time, a "mere" cute chick will be smoking hot in your eyes.

Soon. Maybe tomorrow.

And hopefully you won't meet the right one in the airport waiting for a plane going to a different country than you.

Depends?

I personally think personality is more important. Sure looks may attract me to a person, but if I can't stand talking/listening to the person, games over.

Of course, inversely its the same: I don't care how great a personality the world's fattest woman has - I am never going to step foot in the same room with her, let alone date her.

Just in my case, I'd date an average looking girl with a great personality over a hot girl with just an "average girl's" personality.

Its usually a compromise for most people: try to get the best overall package that works for you.

IMO, you can't have one without the other. Personality can definitely (and immediately) make or break a potential relationship. But I don't think a relationship would be exciting if you weren't physically attracted to your partner either. We could discuss forever exactly what combo of characteristics and attributes make a healthy relationship tick, but IMO, it's the result of a whole slew of things clicking together.

All relationship starts off with looks then moves on to personality, imo.

Looks alone is great for the first date and maybe the first night. After that she needs to have personality.

QFT. I've dated a couple models and found 2 recurring issues. Beautiful women are often able to advance through life based on their looks. I'm more interested in a woman who is intelligent, industrious, hard-working, etc. Someone who achieved career success based on something besides her appearance. Secondly, beautiful women crave being the center of attention. One girlfriend actually admitted that to me, she always wore red for example and had to be the center of attention regardless of the situation. Another model would say shit like "those guys on the table next to us where staring at me when you were in the bathroom." Like, why the f-ck would I need to know that, or even care?

Unfortunately, because of my profession of making women "more attractive" I tend to place a premium on looks. It's appearance that often leads to the initial chemistry one has towards another. But, trust me, looks only go so far.

Personality>looks any day of the week.

Rick....your post reminds me a lot about some of the HOT women I have known. So many of them are incredibly insecure. You always have to listen to them try to work out compliments. It is a lot of freaking work. And a lot of time, it takes away from their looks.

A woman with personality and who is secure in herself is better than a hot chick for any relationship.

I'm lucky.....I got both.

Say there are two girls. One fugly as hell and another one smoking HOT.

If they are both like a bitch, which one would you choose?
If they are both like an angel from heaven, which one would you choose?

Stop ratioalizing... looks = personality






JK... I know my analogy don't make all that much sense.. lol

My take on it is you don't COMPLETELY know another person's personality until a few months into knowing them. Sure someone can seem like a cool girl the first night or week you meet them, just like they can seem dull and boring at first then open up and become "cool" over time. My take on it is since you can rate someone's looks right off the bat, try to date around with the hottest girls you can tolerate at first, and give them the time necessary to show their true personality. If you realize the personality isn't cutting it, move on. If it's still good after a few months, winner winner chicken dinner
