By this I mean, would you say there are more people who you find physically attractive, or that you find have a personality that fits you/appeals to you?

I'd say for me it's actually personality. The percentage of women I find physically attractive is probably about, to give a rough figure, perhaps 20%, while those with a personality I'd consider for a serious relationship is probably half of that. Of course both are important for most, but just consider each in isolation. It's just that, for me, I don't find the general personality, values, attitudes of the 'average woman' totally appealing, whereas in looks the average woman is at least passable.

Which are you pickier on, looks or personality?

Personality. A Gorgeous Dullard and Jerk is never going to be able to compete with a less than Adonis Guy who is interesting, fun to be with and decent. Not in a million years. My most erogenous zone is still my brains...

Personality of course. Assessment of looks is very subjective anyway.

totally agree with the OP, i feel like there are a lot of attractive women out there but they are either too boring, think too highly of themselves, or just wouldnt be a good match with me

Personality is what makes the cake edible, looks is just the icing that can finish it off...

Of course I have to be attractive to someone, but personality is something that can not be over looked. I have to be able to get along with you to be in a relationship with you. Someone's personality can actually make someone more attractive to you and vice versa make a beautiful person very ugly.
