The only thing on the list that is of any relevance to me is religion - I'd prefer it if he didn't have one. Although my first boyfriend was Catholic and it was never really a problem. Then again - he wasn't really devout or anything. As for the rest - well, I'd prefer it if he had a face or a body - but if my husband was badly burned or injured - I'd still love him regardless. As for race - since I'm mixed - I could really care less about anyone else's race. I don't think I'd date out of my species but I pretty much have to date outside of my race. Income? As my husband says - money comes and money goes. Never been an issue with me.

I would say face first, followed by religion/race because there could be religious conflicts/cultural clashes with my background and belief system. Love does not conquer all.

Body: She can have a pretty face but if I get sick to my stomach when I see her body it won't matter.
Face: Similar in importance to her body, but I tend to be attracted to a winder range of faces so a bit less so.
Religion: This is only a big deal if she's super religious, won't shut up about it, or is constantly trying to convert me. She doesn't necessarily have to be an atheist of course, but chances are I'd have a hard time being a relationship with someone who's very religious.
Income: Not really that important to me, as long as I don't feel like she's leeching off of me.
Race: Not really important at all. If I find her attractive otherwise, her race will have no bearing on it.

I've deliberately left out things like personality, values etc because I want people to be honest about these often dubbed superficial things.
It's a flawed question, as these things don't have a level of importance for some people and they are all subjective.

None of the above...the most important to me by far in a potential life partner, is how loving and affectionate she is The others are all optional / secondary characteristics

I can't rank them because it would depend upon the degree. If the religious area was extreme.... then that would be the most important issue. If they had views similar to mine.... then it's the bottom of the list.

In general, looks and body will be one and two, if I'm not attracted than none of the rest matter.

Religion

...then...

Income
Face
Body
Race

I'm a man. Religion is not really superficial because it can strongly influence a person's views on many social issues if the person is very zealous. The other four would be way lower down for me.
