I'd rather be rejected for my personality. If you don't like my lack of filter (though I can "clean up nicely"), then you're not for me. I have rarely been rejected for my personality, though, and some of the ladies on CD Relationships would find that hard to believe.

I think I've been turned down for appearance more often. While I'm not unhappy with my appearance, attraction is definitely a "type" thing.

I voted appearance. If I'm rejected for my appearance, there's little I can do about it. IMO, it's unfair and shallow to be rejected for appearance. If you don't like my personality, then we're not compatible.

I'd rather have an interesting personality over good looks. So based on that, I'd rather be rejected over looks than personality.

On the other hand, you can't change ugly although you can sometimes become more interesting (through gaining experience and maturity, etc). So it can be more disheartening to get rejected over something you can't change. But anyway, I voted it's better to be rejected for looks.

they are both very subjective to whomever you are trying to attract. i wouldn't care either or, i would just accept that i wasn't a match for that particular person and move on.

I'd rather be rejected for looks. Physically, I'm not really anything special, being all freckly and redheaded and whatnot (doesn't seem like redheads are high on anyone's priority list). I would find being called "boring" much more offensive, especially because of that. I don't think my personality is THAT vanilla. That, and I've only once or twice met a person I absolutely could not get along with.

It depends, if its a really attractive woman who was out of my league, I would want it to be looks. If its a woman tht we are on the same level, I'd rather be rejected for my personality because I atleast know it was within my control.

Definitely personality because personality I can change and my looks I cannot change. If I'm ugly it's not like I'm going to be prettier or more handsome in the next day I'll wake up.

Personality you change but looks are much more difficult and sometimes even impossible to change.

Personality. I know not everyone is going to get my sense of humor or find my quirkiness endearing but I'd like it if most people thought I was attractive.

I don't like spectator sports, sitting in bars, or sitting in front of TV. When combined, that makes me boring to an alarming chunk of the population. Want to know how much I care?

Despite what you may think, it is extremely rare for guys to get rejected for their looks. It is almost always the guys behavior (lack of: confidence, assertivness or charm or displaying feminine traits) that gets guys rejected. If you have below average looks and you let it affect your behavior, than it is still the behavior that gets you rejected. Same goes for height, money, status, and many other excuses which guys blame for their failure with the opposite sex. A confident and charming guy, with below average looks, can land pretty much any woman he wants.
