Are you more attracted to body or mind?

[OddBeMe]

I mean, I enjoy both but I like chicks who can converse.

I call this “Chick with a puppy”

Body

Mind

So many say “mind” yet I bet each of you disregarded a potential mate based solely on “body”.

[MrOracle]

I would say "personality" rather than "mind" - it's great if she's super smart, but that isn't necessary by any means. What's far more important to me is that the has a positive personality - that she's not constantly angry, upset, depressed, or offended, as so many women are. That's FAR more important to me than if she's "smart" or "educated."
Obviously I like a nice body, but I'd happily take a girl with a 4/10 body and a 9/10 personality than a girl with a 9/10 body and a 4/10 personality.

What makes me want you: Body
What makes me stay: Mind

[OddBeMe]

Ooh, very good point.

[1Anon]

I’m more attracted to personality but I got lucky with my husband. I fell for his personality and he was sexy too which was a bonus.

[Minahh]

The most important to me is the vibe the person gives off

[OddBeMe]

That’s a good answer. Vibes can be both.

[Omario2049]

Yeah but how do u use that to vote here?

[pjf1958]

Good answer! encompasses a larger aspect of an individuals personality. I'm jealous, I wish I'd said that! Well done.

[insignificant_person]

Both. If there was some super hot girl but she would be mean and stupid, I wouldn't find her attractive and I wouldn't like to talk to her. When there would be ugly but intelligent girl, I would like to talk with her but she wouldn't attracts me. So, both are important (and not only body, but also face and hair are important for me).

[hahahmm]

Mind and body are not separate things. The body is a reflection of the mind/mental health. But to really see this you have to be able to see through the fake cosmetic bull and makeup. Don't give women credit for that, ever. The body is a small portion of who a person is tho, if they have anything to offer besides looks.

[OddBeMe]

Maybe, I see what you’re saying. But magazine covers aren’t personifying the mind…

[hahahmm]

They are a reflection of the mind too but could be the mind of PR management in combination with the mind of the subject. There's a reason why magazine covers in one culture are very different from covers in another.

[OddBeMe]

I don't know, look up magazines in other countries it’s the same shit. Actually worse in South America.

[hahahmm]

Don't see how that contradicts the idea.

[OddBeMe]

I guess it’s how shallow you are, really. And no disrespect to body over mind people. Just know who you are.

[hellionthesagereborn]

My problem has always been that I'm attracted to the mind more then the body. Both are necessary but the mind more so for me which makes things difficult because I have to get to know a woman before real attraction starts.

[ARWINGx1]

40/60 for me.

Basically, both are equally important, but with more emphasis on "mind". As in, although I'd prefer someone who isn't a chubby, she doesn't need to be a "supermodel" either. In fact, if she really was the latter, I'd "fear" that she'd be high-maintenance. Far more than I'd be able to keep up.

[Grond21]

The body will catch my eye and my attention. But the mind will catch my eye and keep my attention. The heart will catch my heart, catch my attention, and catch my love

[Grond21]

Your update is nonsensical. Of course people who are more attracted to mind have rejected someone based on their body. Your question was which is more attractive. Your question was not which is attractive exclusively. Because your update seems to imply that if one is attracted to mind then there should be no consideration taken for the body whatsoever.

[OddBeMe]

Point taken, but i see so many people judged by only their body.

[Grond21]

That's very true. And I think you're implying that it's a sad thing when someone is judged only on their body. Which I completely agree with. There is so much depth to the person that is missed when they're only looking at the superficial surface

[OddBeMe]

True true.

[t-8900]

I'm not too picky on the body. For some reason it's the face i'm drawn to tbh. The body is always a bonus. I dont need the sharpest tool but I want a solid attitude and a golden heart.

[jamesgoldman]

Mind

I seek those who can work to my intellectual level
My exes both could do that, their attractiveness was nice albeit mainly to outside observers who couldn't understand how we co-existed with their lower placement on the plains of intelligence but looks were and still are entirely secondery to me

[crazy8000]

A combo of both.
She needs to have a body within certain preferences. but if her mind is off her body won't matter. usually see her non verbal signals first that gives signals about how her mind is. is that off, she doesn't have a chance.

[crazy8000]

Female in that pic gives unfavorable signals.

[LeoElias]

Both. She doesn't have to have a crazy nice body which is pretty unrealistic in my opinion. The girl in that picture is too skinny for my taste but she has a nice face. Mind is really important because I won't tolerate a bitch.

[Shy_pisces]

I feel like yes, her body is amazing and she very pretty. But it doesn't define who she is as a person and I would prefer to get the know the brain that is attached rather than defining a person by body alone.

[MLGbreezy]

I think it depends on the girl. I feel in love with a girl who I think I was very much so more attracted bro her body more than anything else. And then I got to know her and we'll I caught feelings.

[Browneye57]

Love can't start till attraction does... and then there needs to be a conversation.

Or put another way, they need both. At least for anything meaningful.

[ArztSchlachthof]

Again - both. If she has an ideal "mind" but doesn't attract me physically she's getting friendzoned. If she's just gorgeous but otherwise undeveloped, I am not interested in having another talk with her.

[OddBeMe]

Could a fun personality make up for less attractive attributes, like say being a bit overweight?

[ArztSchlachthof]

Yeah, it can balance it out a bit, but not with being overweight - for me, that's a galleon-sized red flag.

Let's say she's like a 6/10 or 5/10 with a great personality, although I'd usually rather go for those 7/10 and above. In this case, it can act as a compensation.

[Riley000]

I tend to fall for guys who are smart and can make me laugh

[Ronald_25]

I didn't vote as I am literally 50/50, meaning I can dump a model or settle with a 5/10 with a personality of 10/10

[bingbongbangbung]

I'd rather be with someone who's hot and dumb as hell but with a good personality, than someone who's hot and smart as hell but with a bad personality.

[animesenpai]

I picked body because that is so much of what initial attraction is. I honestly don't think you can have one without the other. I think it's a scale we each balance in our own way

[TwinkleLily5]

Both I like intellectual conversations but I also like nice looking men

[Aakash_Hangargi]

I am attracted to body , but I will fall in love with person nor there body not there intelligence but there actions.

[FýrdracaDócincel]

Mind.
I've been involved with women who I've had surprisingly little physical attraction to because they were the KIND of women I like.
