Personally when I COMPARED the duration of my past relationships where I fell for the person's personality (and not necessarily their looks) and When I fell for the person's looks (and not necessarily their personality). The relationships where I fell for the person's personality lasted longer. But honestly without comparison, they only lasted a little while. It's important to fall for both looks and personality.
okay- I met somebody who was only average in the looks department. She was really talented and funny. We became friends and hung out a lot. The truth is that the more I got to know her, the better looking she got to me. I fell in love with her and we were together for 4 years. I still have a picture of her from when we went to Montreal. I look at that picture today and I wonder what I saw in her in the first place.
@DizzyDesii Yeah, she was sort of cute but I don't know what the big attraction was. We went to school together for a year and a half and then we both transferred to different schools 1500 miles apart. This was before email and Skype. I did this for another 3 years and we finally broke up.
that I am not my ex boyfriend did change into a toxic after year of relationship broke up with him. after found guys that I wasn't attractive to in real life and another guy already has a girfirend. the guys on facebook. some werids other were not. other one guy didn't even borthing putting a time or date and day for it. I now been texting new guy and has called me more then once on the phone.
The longest lasting and best relationships I've had were with people I was mentally attracted to, which is a big part of how you live and function together, including shared hobbies. The times I was with someone mostly from physical attraction/chemistry, it may have lasted, but not as enjoyable.
I have fell for a girl personality more than her looks for awhile but for some reason we started to drift away. I feel maybe our personalities were still evolving and her was one way and my went another way and for awhile we didn't like each other as much anymore.
I couldn't and wouldn't ever date someone with only one or the other. I might hookup with someone based on her looks primarily, but even then I'd have to find her nice and get along with her somehow. Looks alone will never be enough. Personality alone will never be enough either, because I'm a visual person and I need certain visual stimuli to feel sexually attracted to someone.
It will always be some kind of mix of both things for me, never just one or the other.
In todays world everyone is going in different directions with their life. Being in a relationship is easy, long term can be difficult. Most of my relationships have separated having nothing to do with not getting along with a girl, Just a bad set of circumstances in the way. Changing jobs, moving away etc, etc
Physical attraction needs to be there to some extent as well. I don't mean she must have big boobs and ass. I need to like her looks, not too muscular or not too fat. I prefer sportier looking girls i think still. And i'm happy lol. And i need to like the girls's voice as well to be really into her. It seems like it's a big deciding factor for me. Her personality is maybe a bit more important then her voice tho.
I don't fall for looks. Sure looks do matter but if you're handsome I'm not going to be like "O GOD, TAKE ME AS YOUR WIFE" no. Time makes me catch feelings for you, so personality. A cute guy is just a cute guy and that's it.
I fall for either first depending on the guy. But i can't stay if he doesn't have both. I need like 50/50. I wouldn't be happy with a 60/40, 70/30, nor 80/20.
I've never been on a relationship but I'm pretty sure that if I had a relationship based on personality it wouldn't last. Looks are 100% important to me.
I fall for intelligence and personality, looks are secondary but I think beneficial because the smart ones who look good and have been focused on merely for their looks are glad someone actually realizes they have a brain
It's a difficult situation. I think it is possible but it can also not work. Sometimes no matter how much you like someone as a person you don't love them but sometimes it does work so you have to just figure it out.
Yes, I have dated one without the other. It did not last. For example, super attractive, sex was great, but there was nothing there but sex. I got bored and had problems eventually talking to her other than the basics ( how was your day, etc)
It did. She wasn't the prettiest but she was the coolest in my book. About a year and a half it lasted. Considering the average till then was 4 weeks that was pretty darn good.
I Fell In Love with a girl's Personality 2 Years ago , Not that she isn't Good Looking , God She's Gorgeous ! But her personality was so Pure , Genuine and Positive that I couldn't help but fall in love with her. We've been together since then !
yes I think so, you see we first met after sharing a table at a café, we just got talking and one thing led to another, how some of these younger ones will meet up I don't know, they seem to have things stuck in their ears all the time,

Very important

As long as you found her attractive. Average can still be beautiful
To someone

Looks matter, there has to be some attraction , just personality doesn’t work, I’ve tried that a couple of times and it didn’t last
I fully agree
that I am not my ex boyfriend did change into a toxic after year of relationship broke up with him. after found guys that I wasn't attractive to in real life and another guy already has a girfirend. the guys on facebook. some werids other were not. other one guy didn't even borthing putting a time or date and day for it.

Oh wow
The last one is the only one that asks the question. The other guy can burn in trash.

I need both

Oh yea walking two different pasts
Exactly

I agree. I need both

Long term or long distance?
Long term, I never really do long distance.

Yes face and voice are very important in my opinion

Yeps if a jawline and big arms is all he's got, he's not the guy I'm after
Right. But i might stare at him for a while in a daze 🤣
XD well ya
I've never been on a relationship but I'm pretty sure that if I had a relationship based on personality it wouldn't last. Looks are 100% important to me.
Both are necessary
Yes they are but I could never date someone I wasn't attracted to.
I agree
I fall for intelligence and personality, looks are secondary but I think beneficial because the smart ones who look good and have been focused on merely for their looks are glad someone actually realizes they have a brain
Very true
It's a difficult situation. I think it is possible but it can also not work. Sometimes no matter how much you like someone as a person you don't love them but sometimes it does work so you have to just figure it out.
@Lynx122 This is why I consider dating to be equivalent to playing Russian roulette.
Yeah, fell in love with her personality before her looks. Liked her looks too but it was her personality that made me want to date her.
i guess it worked, going on 5 years...
Its fine to fall for one before the other. But im asking can you date someone with only one and not the other
Yes, I have dated one without the other. It did not last.
For example, super attractive, sex was great, but there was nothing there but sex. I got bored and had problems eventually talking to her other than the basics ( how was your day, etc)
all my relationships lasted years... and they were never based on the looks, not as a priority
they happened to be attractive though, but that was no coincidence either... lol
Been with my guy for 5 years 3 months. I became his partner because of his personality, thoughtfulness and kindness. Same values and interests.
But are you attracted to his looks at all?
Sort of, but I know he would be the first to say he is far from handsome. I just like the familiarity and being with him.
Familiarity as in like similarities between you two?
Just familiar with him. Tall, dark and average. Someone I want to be with for life.
I love his personality so much rn that his looks are just a + to him
Oooo nice way to put it
It did. She wasn't the prettiest but she was the coolest in my book. About a year and a half it lasted. Considering the average till then was 4 weeks that was pretty darn good.
Yea anything 6+ months is pretty good

Well thats good that she had both
Yeah. I can't believe it sometimes , vut I don't think that much and just enjoy the time I get with her
But*
it was my husbands personality that attracted me first to him,
Does he have the looks too
yes I think so, you see we first met after sharing a table at a café, we just got talking and one thing led to another, how some of these younger ones will meet up I don't know, they seem to have things stuck in their ears all the time,
