To be completely honest...well now that I think about it, personality defiently overules looks. I had a friend who looked good but not amazing, and I didn't think about wanting to go out with her until I figured she was so like me, she could'ave been my twin.

I go with personality. Me, my twin and a friend were discussing this not to long ago in her fanclub.

Yeah. It nice to have a girl with looks but if she has a rotten personality or is just boring then what the point of having her. If the girl had personality then you guys can have fun and you will like her more. Looks can only go so far.

I would like to have both but then if you like a girl for their personality then they will look good too. Both would be nice but I voted personality.

Best poll today! (Even though it's been done before... *shot* XD)

Anyway, I've never really looked for a boyfriend. However, personality matters more to me than looks. Like I said in the past, what good is a hot guy if he has the most rotten personality out there? :/
Of course, good looks are appriciated... XD

So yeah, I'm one of those "Personality, but if they look good that helps XD" people. :/

I say personality because often, their personality influences their appearance to you. But looks cant really influence personality.

Yeah, I guess I'll go ahead and be the shallow one and say looks. BUT, I have good reasoning behind this choice.

Let us say you are single and male (or female, whatever, but for all purposes, let's just say male to make it easier), but also looking for a girlfriend. How would you pick a girl out of a crowd to talk to? Do you know who she is already? No. Do you know her likes and dislikes? No. Do you know if she is overbearing, pretentious, stuck up, or kind, caring, giving, and nice? Noooo. You see that she is mildly (or really) attractive, this is how you get to talk to her. From there on, if you like her personality, you go out with them and you develop feelings based off that.

So, it's a sort of combination for me, but heavily relies on the looks beforehand so there's some interest first.

If anyone understood this post, you get a shiny golden star.

I voted for "Personality... but good looks help as well." I wouldn't mind a "meh" appearance if the person is intelligent, witty, and sweet. However, I do mind the sort of person who's gorgeous but has absolutely no brains to them.

As for Sean, while yes, a person might look for someone interesting-looking to talk to, whether or not you want to keep talking to them might depend on their personality. If they're not your type judging by what they say off the bat, then they're not your type. At least, that's how it goes with me. I'll talk to almost anyone if I feel like it, and if I can tell that they're not the intelligent, kind sort of people I want to hang around, I'll just move on to the next person. So to make it clear, for me, the first impression doesn't begin until the other person opens their mouth. *shrugs*

Of course, I draw the line at "utterly disgusting to the point where hygiene is a foreign concept to this person," but I think it's safe to say that that's not being considered in this discussion.

I like hot and sexy girls, so clearly I go for looks. It's the mark of a Manly Man.

"What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful for men, more admirably high and demonstrative than mathematics."
Benjamin Franklin

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty – a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of paintings or music, yet sublimely pure and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show."

It sounds cliché, but definitely personality. ;) Looks are a nice bonus, but I really don't care what someone looks like as long as they're a nice person. :) I wouldn't want someone to look down on me because of what I look like - it's not fair to do the same to them.
