For guys it usually has to be both, unless the girl just completely wows them to the point that he could care less what she looks like, which is rare. Going for looks without personality will end in a bad breakup.

For women, the guy could be fat, receding, and plain looking, as long as he is good to her, funny, romantic and is stable.....he is in like flint. I think that women have a limit though, the guy has to be at least "cute".

I've met tons of hot girls that said they would date Kevin James from King of Queens.

This is so true! I'd put "smart" above "cute", though. A person's looks can grow on you, if they have a zinger personality.

Women are incredible with finding true beauty in a man. The guy can become the most handsome and beautiful man to her in a matter of months if the guy sweeps her off her feet. And the guy, knowing he probably cannot get anything hotter will treat that woman like a queen.

Men on the other hand, take women for granted. Think Hugh Grant who was probably only a twenty minute or thirty minute drive from Liz Hurley, one of the most gorgeous women in the world, yet wanted to wet his whistle with some back alley prostitute.

I don't care if a woman is hot, smart or has a great personality, men will never be content, especially if the man is even moderately attractive and has options.

Women are much more contented with their men, then men are with their women.

Hmmm I have to be attracted to a guy but everyone likes and dislikes are different. Personality is a huge plus.

Like I said, the guy has to at least be cute. He cannot be a total dog. Women are not saints. They have limits too.

answer women tell guys: personality and confidence

answer in reality for women: personality and confidence, only after you pass the body and face test.

If looks didn't matter, you wouldn't have threads about women going after the bad boy, or why nice guys finish last.

Not another one of these.

Women don't necessarily like bad boys. They prefer interesting men over boring men. The problem isn't that most self-described 'nice guys' are nice. The true reason they don't have a woman in their lives because they are just duller than a butter knife. Sorry. Had to be said.

Pretty much. Girls date the bad boy but end up with a stable guy, not nice but stable.

In a perfect world, we could all get away with wearing burlap bags or jumpsuits, but how you present yourself to the world tells the world how to think of you. In that sense, women are far harsher critics of other women than men.

And, quite frankly, let's discuss the ways men are evaluated. A man could have a wonderful personality, but if he walks into the same crowded restaurant in Jesus sandals, black socks, a Pantera t-shirt, and a bad combover, he'll get the same treatment.
You may be right about the situation of how people are judged (unfortunately, people are idiotically superficial), but what does your physical appearance have anything to do with self-respect? Wouldn't dressing to impress other people be more about earning respect of others than your own self-respect?

Hell, you'd have to be pretty comfortable with yourself to show up to a restaurant dressed like that, wouldn't you say?

Nature always does its bests. However, I simply answered the question: physical beauty is more attractive not better!

No! As an educated person I can not tolerate such women. Personality is also important.

Actually, you have to live with someone to explore her personality correctly. It needs time. If you choose a pretty one you save 50% and when you live together you may find that she has a good personality too (another 50%), even she has not, you still have the first 50%.

But, when you dont pay attentions to physical beauty and go with someone whom you think of as a good person, you may only have that 50% if and only if your first estimation becomes true!

I am so sorry to be more logical! I think I analyzed it like a machine!

It worth mentioning that we can find both of them simultaneously in both girls and boys, yet hard enough to find.
