Girls: Can personality make up for average looks? (Page 2)

Question

Ok, so I asked a question on here yesterday similar to this and it came out all wrong. So I thought I'd reword it into a less offensive version.There was a girl I knew in high school. She was fairly good looking, but not beautiful, though she was very sweet and had a great personality. Those things combined made her seem more attractive to me. I was always nice to her and am an average looking guy, but never asked her out because I was very shy. Though if I did, she probably would have said yes. My question is if that can work the other way around too. If an average looking guy has a great personality, if he will be seen as more attractive by the ladies.So here's my question broken down. Would you rather be with an excellent looking guy with a poor personality or an average looking guy with a great personality. I realize there are great looking guys with great personalities and vice versa, but I'm trying to make it black and white for the sake of argument.

Fairly good looking isn't average. Just saying. And I know you said you want it to be black and white for the sake of argument but I would rather be with a guy who has a good personality and is cute in MY eyes. I'm not saying amazing looking but at least cute to me and a good personality. If I had to pick from your two options I would choose average with great personality but I still want to be with a guy I find attractive .

So I chose C.

AVERAGE LOOKING GREAT PERSONALITY BY FAR. sorry for caps I just feel so strongly about this! because personality doesn't wither as easily as looks. and anyways beauty is only in the eye of the beholder.

Looks don't last forever.

If there's a good/great looking guy, but he's not funny or witty or fun or he's a jerk, he's a waste of my time.

I'd rather be with someone who has average looks, but the personality makes him gorgeous :)

A great personality makes me find someone more attractive; a bad personality makes me find someone less attractive. Plus, I couldn't have a relationship with someone whose personality I didn't like.

I think that the vast majority of girls need at least some sort of physical attraction; but even if a guy isn't particularly attractive in the eyes of a certain girl at first, a good personality can make him more physically attractive to her.

I absolutely think personality is the best thing.  I like guys who are very personality wise attractive more so than physically.  I find guys more attractive with great personalities and hot guys with bad personalities "ugly".  Great question!

Generally speaking a person (or at least this is how I am) is partially attracted to the visuals and there personality.  You can't separate them otherwise a cardboard cut out would suffice just fine.

And then some. I don't see how anyone could date someone based on looks, because how can you enjoy being around them?

Hades · Answer

They'll say it can, but you'll rarely ever see an average looking guy who isn't tall or wealthy with a commited girlfriend, no matter how good his personality is.

Definitely! Would you rather date a hot, boring b*tch, or an average-looking girl who lights up your world?

Honestly, I prefere that! I love a genuine personality and I find quirks to be adorable. I love being around someone that's just comfortable in his own skin and is just himself! As long as he likes to laugh and has a genuine smile, he's perfect for me!

I'd pick the average-looking guy with a great personality. :) Afterall, a person's outer appearance can always change, but their personalities (pretty much) can't.

sure why not lol I mean if the main personality attribute is funny then definitely! Lol and if they carry themselves in a confident but not cocky way then that adds more points..xX

I really don't value looks as much as I value personality, so if a guy is not so good looking, but has awesome personality, like humour, honesty, confidence, morals, I can very much fall for him :)

But for us guys...if you don't have good looks, 90% of the time, no matter how good your personality is, it counts for very little because your average looks mean you're not noticed.

Happens to me every single f**king time.

JumpThenFall · Answer

I'd rather go out with a more average looking guy who treats me well and doesn't think he's god's gift to women.

NayaAbouzaid · Answer

OF COURSE  I have seen very very very attractive JERKS , I honestly get more shy around average looking guys with amazing personalities because in my book they win :D

livi23 · Answer

Why would you want an extremely attractive guy who you couldn't talk to or enjoy things with? Personality is what makes a person attractive (:

justlilly · Answer

Yes, this is very possible (at least for me). I am currently crushing hard on a guy who isn't that great looking, but has an awesome personality.

I'd date an average looking guy with a great personality. :)  Looks go away after a while, but personality lasts forever. <3
