Which do you think is more important in looking for a partner of the opposite sex? I would have to go with personality but, granted, I do have to be attracted to her physically at least to some degree.

EDIT: Just to clarify, by "looks" I mean someone highly attractive but who has a decent personality at best, not necessarily someone with a highly unfavorable personality. Just as the "personality" category denotes someone with a wonderfully admirable personality yet decent-looking at best.

At my age, personallity (assuming she still looks at least decent). It doesn't matter how good looking she is if she makes me want to jump out a window. I melt much faster for a sweetheart that wants to take care of me than just a pretty face. :P

I'd take a smart girl with a solid or at least passionate sense of aesthetics over a pretty girl anyday.

Yup, I will assume 99% of the younger gen will pick looks. They will change their mind, however, when they get older.

Sorry, but it has to be both. An extremely obese woman can have an amazing personality, but would you ever date her?

I'd put that less under looks, and more under health.

I wouldn't date an extremely obese girl either. Obesity is a medical condition due to certain personality traits. Negative ones.

Personality.

If she doesn't accept reading comics and is scared of horror movies(or doesn't have courage period), then i'm completely turnt off.

Looks can be modified overtime, that's what cosplay is for.

No..you don't become ugly based on your personality and bad choices unless you smoke meth or something crazy.

People in their mid-20's have a habit, in these boards, of acting the part of last of the titans. Other than that, curious.

I'm my mid 20s (26)...I'm not old but, rather, old enough to know what actually matters.

Depends on what you want.

Looks, for a one night stand, personality, for a long term relationship.

Also, the first thing that catches the eye are looks, i didn't say good looks cause everyone has their own preferences.

Realistically its looks first then personality.

I am going to draw a tangent here and say the most important thing about a person is kindness. And no, that doesn't really fit inside the "personality" category. There are lots of people whose company is a total blast, but don't really have a sense of kindness and are basically self-centered pricks.

Kindness > Personality = Looks.

Usually if the girl has a great personality, it makes them more attractive (at least with some of the girls I liked).

Isn't kindness an aspect of personality, though? I totally agree with you if it isn't, though.

About 60/65% personality for me. They have to be at least a 6 though, which to me is cute. Don't really want a 9 or 10 because they're high maintenance either monetarily or attention who**ing or whatever. They're used to getting attention and things from their looks and treated differently. Give me a 6 or 7 with a compatible personality to mine that likes sports like I do and nerdy things anyday.

I suggest we ask Hadoken whose side he's on. Whoever he picks automatically loses.
