Would you date someone solely based on their physical appearance?

[DianaWest]

no, never. i know many hot people who have great personalities, and many who don't. i also know many ugly people who have atrocious personalities. one's appearance doesn't determine their personality, necessarily.

with that being said, i was incredibly attracted to this guy, from a distance. he had a nice ass and arms, he had piercing blue eyes and a nice jawline. then he opened his mouth and that's when attraction started to diminish. he was very boring, very rude and very superficial. he saw women as his barbie doll play things and would severely criticize any woman if she dared to be 5 lbs overweight. like dude, one day your ass will sag, you will need viagra to help you keep it up, and you will go bald. stop being so damn superficial because your beauty won't last forever. i find that men that are average looking but that are sweet, loyal, intelligent and kind are much more of a catch than any super hot man with an atrocious personality and lack of intelligence. but, this isn't to say hot people can't be smart and kind, or that average people can't be assholes. it all depends on the individual.

First, we have to admit that looks matter which leads a man to approach or a woman to be intrigued. The first thing I recognize is my physical attraction to that individual then I’m open to having a conversation. If that person turns out to be a headache then I will move along and wait until I come across another guy I’m attracted to and have a conversation.


I don’t believe in the saying of dating someone that may not be as attractive to you because they’ll treat you better than the person who you’re physically attracted to. There are toxic people on both sides of the spectrum. I’m not desperate to be “loved on” then I would settle for any guy regardless of how he looks to me. I want the full package of physical attraction with great heart.

People are not like bananas sure there are pretty people with shitty personalities and ugly people who are kind, but the reality is whe you have a strong personality, a good head on your shoulders, have all the good qualities a person needs to survive, you will look after your appearance.

Someone who is obese is also someone who is lazy and unwilling to face reality and that speaks to a weak personality.

Someone who has acne is the same way, unwilling to get it treated.

Basically: "if you can't bother to take care of your own body how can I trust you to take care of building a family together?"

[ohshee]

Not even close no when I and interested in somebody first images of it sticking to the right cuz I want to know who they are I want to know how beautiful that I did I want to know if you're confident I'll let you know if there's smart intelligent is there a giver of himself if they have common since I want to know if they're happy I wants to know if you're a good kisser if they're going lover I want to know if they smile the outside is just an extra bonus

[jshm2]

Not much of a question.

Dating is 100% appearance. As it's only when you're physically attracted enough to sit in front of the person, can you realise their personality, vibe and everything else.

Hence why it's important to have a decent pic and bio. People who throw on any pic and write shitty bios have only themselves to blame. It's also why catfishing works so well online, but not so much in person.

[Bluemax]

I would never date someone based solely on her appearance.

However, I would also never again date someone who I wasn't physically attracted to. Also, I have found kindness evenly distributed among people. There are just as many kind beautiful people as there are kind unattractive people. Likewise there are just as many unkind beautiful people as there are unkind unattractive people.

[BeenThereLovedIt]

Of course I date solely on appearance!

I mean dating is getting to know someone better, so I can't date them on personality, right? If you mean 'continue to date' or 'be exclusive' then well yeah, I've done that in the past and that's why we call them "mistakes" lol.

[Miristheiss]

Well, from the beginning yes.
Often, that is all you really know about the person is that you are attracted to them.
You have to date them a bit to start learning about them, their personality, belief, value system, past, core belief system, life goals... etc.

Now... once I had gotten to know them a little bit if I had nothing in common with them, have differing beliefs, we clashed, I didn't like them... etc. I would not have continued dating them.

[Dchrls78104]

No, I wouldn't; except that the following would instantly turn me off:
1. Tattoos and body piercings.
2. Thongs and the like.
3. Morbid obesity or emaciation.
4. Fake body parts including being a fake female.
5. Being too short (less than 5'0") or being underage.
6. Smoking, drinking, or the use of drugs (you can sometimes tell who does these by the appearance of the body).
7. A sour, angry disposition (which sometimes shows on the face).
8. Carrying a gun or the like.

[ElvenMr]

A good personality is very attractive in a girl. Like if she gets my jokes, she is talkative, and she shares her own thoughts with me, so it's not just me talking all the time.

I need to like her physical appearance to some extent as well.
She doesn't have to be the prettiest girl ever, or needs to have big boobs, big ass for me to like her.

[ArchivalMars2]

No, I couldn't date somebody on just their appearance no matter how beautiful they are. I would get tired of it eventually and then just leave. If they don't have a decent personality I'll never try anything seriously with them in the end.

[Chrysanthee]

I've been through so much emotional shit. But everyone I've "dated" has been attractive and I still find myself liking them. But of course I'd date someone not solely based on their appearance. If their considerated and kind yeah. It not something i dwell on a lot

[Brian_Spilner]

I married an Asian woman that was gorgeous and had a big ass.
She's the perfect storm, but she was a sadistic slut and still haunts me. Unfortunately she's so hot that I would still take ber back if she showed up at my doorstep today. That's how powerful her looks are.

[little_bird1]

If just meeting them, yes. If some time has passed and I discover their personality is shit, we break up.

[jaybee281]

All I could think of when I saw the pretty inside pic was that ironically that's my body's reaction when I see someone pretty outside

[Anonymous]

It's like the nice looking guys are all dicks or have some kind of other issue going on that I clearly can't handle. But God, can't date ugly guys either cause' if you're cute, you boost their ego and still treat you like shit. God damn.

[TheorionMage]

Initially yes, to get a chance to see if their Personality equals their 'packaged merchandizing' ~

[Adam1978]

No but I can reject some one solely based on their physical appearance.

[ItsTheNephilim]

No, not at all. A good personality is so very important.

[hi8sm3]

I get curious of getting to know someone because of looks. Her personality is going to decide where we are heading to. And that's why this website is good place to like someone for personality because you see personality first

[MCheetah]

Yes, if their appearance was a 10/10 but their personality was a 5/10 (average/boring). However, NO if their appearance was an 8 or 9/10 but their personality was a 1 to 3/10. So based on your finer details, no I would not. Also, good picture.

[G5TWA1]

I don't think I could even have sex with someone solely based on their physical appearance, but to be in a relationship with someone I have to be attracted to them

[bamesjond0069]

To just go on a date? Yeah i dont have specific requirements other than i find them attractive and they haven't been rude or disrespectful to me... lets go out see what happens.

[IveGotNoName]

Personality AND looks matter. Dating someone you dont find attractive physically is not fair to them or you.

The difference is that personality can make a person more attractive, but good looks can't make someone a better person.
