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 I have. Had nothing to do with my legal blindness.
Who cares what other people think!
The person I'm attracted to I'm attracted to for intrinsic reasons no supposed "study on gender" can group or define in an eff you kind of way.
So yes, physical attraction is as complex as emotional. Plus, we're not factoring pheromones, which that part people cannot manipulate even in a cologne.
I know tons of women that look 5/10 and have a personality that is a 9/10 but I still would never be able to date them. Their looks would have to be at least an 8/10 and their personality would have to be at least around the same.

Yes. To me, it is personality that carries the most weight. IMO: for people of both genders, looks carries a lot of weight early on b/c that's the first thing they see (literally) and it takes time to get to know someone. At the end of a long day or during stressful times, it's the person who is there for you not the external appearance.
The caveat is that you should treat this person nicely b/c they deserve to be treated nicely. You don't need to qualify or make excuses for his/her looks along the lines of 'Yes, David is my BF and, while he's not that handsome, he's a very nice guy.'
That person has to be willing to wait and see his personality. A lot of people aren't wiling to do this, and will write most barely average/ugly people off and move on to the next.
To me a good 50/50 mix in both areas is important. I don't lik the super model types never did give me the girl next door look. Looks do fade over time we all know that the women starts to sag & after a while guys can't get it up anymore so choose carefully.
