I was just curious to what you all think. Are looks more important than personality? Or what do you think?
Here's my two cents...I'm not gonna say that they completely do not, because that would be a lie. I don't think of looks when I first meet a guy, though. I usually don't even think about what he looks like until I start liking him. Seriously, I'm being completely honest. I fall in love with a guys sense of humorand personality, and then I go...hey, he's kinda cute too! Of course there has to be some kind of physical as well as mental attraction. But to me, my guys personality shines through more than his looks do. ;D

I'm not going to make any attempt to sound like a good person here, but they actually are a factor in liking a guy. Important may be too strong a word, though.
If you see two guys walking down the street, one mediocre-looking, and one incredibly hot, which one are you going to lust over first?
In the end, looks aren't important. Sooner or later, what someone looks like won't be important when they turn out to be incredibly boring or a total moron.
I almost always get to know someone before I like them. Even if they aren't "hot" in someone else's eyes, they become beautiful to me, inside and out, when I know they're a good person. The guy I like isn't considered good looking to other people. In fact, a lot of my friends wonder why I like him. But when I look at him, he's the sexiest, most gorgeous guy on the planet.

whoever says looks don't matter is a liar. of course, they are not the most important thing. but the initial attraction to someone is very important. once you're attracted to someone, you can get to know them and then decide if who they are is attractive or not. a hot guy who is really stupid doesn't look so hot anymore, or a not as hot guy with a great personality... well, they start looking better. personality makes or breaks you in the end.

I've got, let's say "interesting" taste in guys. What I think is cute, most people don't! I tend to view everyone the same (granted there are times I see a guy and I think Phroaw!) but as Spazmatical said, personality makes or breaks it. My boyfriend isn't typically good-looking, but he makes me laugh, and that's my most important priority.

I really don't think looks are that important. I think a person's personality will decide whether the person in attractive or not. But I'm not gonna lie and say that it doesn't add as a bonus when the guy is pysically attractive. I have a weird taste in guys though. All the guys I think are really hot, all my friends think are ugly, and all the guys they think are hot, I find ugly.

I'm not gonna try to sound so angellic.. so i think that yea.. looks does matter. I think that physical attraction makes you want to come over to the guy and said hi and get to know him better. Then if the guy is really nice and has nice personality.. then I wud probably have a crush on him. But if he turn out to be a dumb ass or just a jerk... then i wont like him or just not more than friends. And i have to say this ( like most girls already said it) i have weird taste also in guys. My bestfriend think that my crush is not hot.. she said that he is adorable but not hot. Now my bestfriend's bf is not hot or cute, but she think he is. So when i say that a guy is hot... u mite not agree wit me. And plus i luv guys who are cute rather than hot. And i go completely crazy for dimples... lol...... ;D

Sorry to sound shallow, but HELL YEA they do !!! Thats what gets me to notice a guy. Then if he has a great personality, thats just the icing on the cake....ya know. Most people that I know are like that.

Looks somewhat matter to me. If he is disgusting looking, just dirty and doesnt take care of himself then no. But if a guy is alright and really nice and funny then that is the most important thing!

Initially it is almost all looks, when you don't know the guy at all. Later on, looks take on less and less of a role. After I get to know a guy they can become hot in their own way. Attraction is kinda a total package. The personality can have an influence on how I percieve the looks.
*Edited to not sound quite so shallow

Well they used to matter to me a lot but (thank goodness) I've matured beyone that point. For me, every relationship I've been in was completely physical, sometimes I didn't even talk to the person! But now I'm starting to look more and more at personality. In fact, my current crush (or as many of my friends call it obsession) isn't devestatingly gorgeous! He definately isn'y ugly but I'm more attracted to his kindness and the things we have in common than his physical attributes. I really think that this is the best kind of relationship you can have, one where you feel so strongly for the person that you could care less what's on the outside.

How to put this nicely ........ "Hey you! Ya you, guy with the 80's hairdo and 70's clothing. Come here you sexy thing!" can you picture yourself saying that? I know I can't...somehow it just doesn't seem right when you think about it, there has to be some amount of physical attraction in a relationship. I mean you don't want to wake up and look over at your husband (or wife) and be like you want to be like

I think looks matter in the beginning of a relationship but that factor kind of fades away as you really get to know the person. More often than not, looks are what get people interested in others but as the relationship builds, the persons personality is more important.

I agree. In the beginning of a relationship, it's important to get the attraction started. But later on in the relationship it doesn't matter as much. The personality is what really shines through. And it's the personality, in the end, that's going to matter or help you decide to stay with this person or not.
I mean, who wants a totally hott guy who likes to beat on women? I don't really think anyone would like that very much..

Looks are somewhat important to me. I mean, if I'm going to start a relationship with someone, there has to be some sort of attraction. But I'm not very picky. I'm easily attracted to a lot of guys. Also, if they have a great personality, that shines through and makes them seem even more attractive. Peronality is really what matters. I don't want a guy who isn't smart, funny, and sensitive. I won't like someone if I can't relate to them or if I don't think I'd be able to have an intelligent conversation with them. I think a boyfriend should be a really good friend who you also happen to be attracted to. A relationship soley based on looks is superficial and shallow.
