I have yet to meet a guy whose personality blows me away. I've gone out mostly with guys who at least seemed decent for the duration of time that we were dating, but I never look back and think, "Wow, his personality was amazing!" The physical attraction has to be there for me to want to pursue.
If a person looks only 5/10 (very average, but not butt ugly) on your scale, but their personality is 9/10 (great, but super awesome would be a stretching it) would you consider being in a Long-Term Romantic Relationship with them?
Yes?
No?

Please take the poll.
After about six, it wouldn't matter what she looks like, but there's a definite minimum, and that's about 5...maybe four on some scales. I voted that I wouldn't, but I was thinking that 5 would be butt ugly, and you stated it would not be.
Having a really great personality generally ends up changing my perception of someone's looks, and they start getting more attractive. In my experience. The converse is true as well.

This is the key. I'm always dumbfounded in these discussions when people just refer to "a 6" as this monolithic status.
The 5 or 6 that you barely speak to at work or on the train, and hardly notice, can creep up to an 8. As you start to notice just how clever and funny they are, or that they are also super into Early Hungarian Ninepin Bowling, you also discover that sexy dimple that comes out when they laugh. Or that their eyes grab yours when talking intently, and how amazing is it that they can intelligently discuss [insert any topic that is not pop culture related.]
Just as easily, a 9 slides down into 4 status when you discover that they've never had an original thought in their life, and their favorite show is Jerseylicious.

The results of the poll thus far say that 17 of 18 women will take a man who is for all intents and purposes, not attractive, but has a really good personality.
I call foul!
This is completely and utterly against what I observe both in real life and on CD forums as well. Women who reject guys who have good personalities and are decent looking ALL THE TIME.
Most likely since he's a guy he approached me based on attraction and I doubt guys approach gals they find average so I see no reason for me to do what he didn't. No different than I don't see much reason in a pretty gal overlooking an ugly guy's appearance when he most likely approached her because she was pretty.
As well as in my opinion most guys personality are essentially the same- they want to bust a nut and they want their egos pandered to.
