Loving someone's personality more but someone else's looks more?

Would you always go with the personality one? Even if it's only slightly better? Just asking 😂

Loving someone's looks isn't going to get you any far. Are you attracted to either of them?

Trinity66 · 11/12/2018 14:11

I'd go with whichever one I have more chemistry with, that doesn't depend soley on looks or personality

Vitalogy · 11/12/2018 14:19

Chemistry for sure. Looks fade it's a shell.

Because you're having to ask, I'd say neither are the right person for you and to wait until you find someone you're attracted to both physically and for their personality.

Agree with others. Neither looks nor personality means I would necessarily be attracted to somebody. If you don't know which one you prefer then it sounds like you are somewhat forcing it.

Chocolatecoffeeaddict · 11/12/2018 19:03

Neither. If you have to question it then you can't really be into either of them... And looks will only get you so far, personality is worth far more, though you do need to find your partner attractive I think.

LizzieSiddal · 11/12/2018 19:07

If you can't decide, then neither are right for you. You should just know which one you need to be with.

Mind you, if you've only known them for a few days, the above doesn't apply!

Notacluethisxmas · 11/12/2018 19:27

Neither. With so I fancied him more and more, the more I got to know him.

Objectivly, Dp is not the best looking guy in the world. Let's be realistic. I am not the best looking woman obviously, either. It's not a dig at him. But I think he is sexy as hell. It didn't hit me when I met him. It wasnt a lightening bolt. I did notice his smile and think 'wow' when he made a joke, the first time I met him. The more we got to know eachother the sexier I found him.

If you have got to know someone and still don't find them attractive or have the spark, then it's just not there.

On the other hand I couldn't have sex with someone whose personality, wasn't doing it for me either.

So, I agree with the other posters, neither.

I used to think it was either attraction or personality when choosing a partner men but then I realised that it's possible to find a man that has both! Just rare..

If you can’t choose, you probably don’t really want either.

So many people think of this "looks vs personality" thing as a binary either/or scenario, its such rubbish.

You can have both or neither or one or the other. The two are not mutually exclusive.

When people ask this question it usually means: "shall I go for the one who is going to turn heads and give me status points or the one I actually like?". Go for the one you like. Every time.

And as others have stated, if you don't have a clear idea of which one you prefer you probably don't really like either of them that much. If you really like someone you know about it.
