Will you fall in love with someone's personality than looks?

Personality I hope 'cos looks don't last forever. Having said that I thinks it's nice to be in the same bracket in the looks department otherwise there may be some feeling of inferiority by one of the pair.

It's called equity, you give as good as you get. In terms of attractiveness, the person must usually end up 2 points away from someone that they choose in order to have a healthy relationship. On an attractive scale of 1 - 10, the attractive meter must fall within 2 points on either side. If it is higher or lower, the person who is better looking will end up resenting the less attractive partner and the less attractive partner will be too insecure or feel guilt that he/she is with a partner who is more attractive. Thus, eventually, the relationship will implode, rot from within and fail. There have been studies done on this matter.

I would say for me it is mostly about personality. When I am in dating mode I tend to look for someone who has a certain way about themselves rather than a certain look.

I think that in my "formative years" I was in such a "target rich" environment where the majority of men were healthy, educated, employed, well groomed, in top physical condition, and many highly skilled in the dating arts that with a five to one ratio I could be very picky so I stepped back and could look for what set someone apart. Usually that was a particular personality type I liked.

Now that I know what I like and what will make me happy I am looking for someone who still possesses those qualities rather than what is kind of a passing set of superficial things.

I am at the point that most the men in my age group are thinking about retirement hoping they don't get downsized out of a job, the sand is in the lower half of the hourglass, they are tired of dating games, and often have health issues. So even more having a fun personality or at least a peaceful trustworthy one is even more important.

Her looks got my attention. Her personality kept me coming back for more.

Neither?

But mostly because I believe in a natural process of love rather than a magical phenomenon?

And I don't believe there is anyone alive who is solely one or the other, personality or looks?

And I especially don't believe I will be handed a menu of women, guaranteeing they all desire to date me and leading to a successful "relationship," that is divided by looks on one side and personality on the other and I get to choose?

I want him to look like Henry, for starters. Of course, we need a combination. Personality is important, too. Just looking like Henry is not enough. Maybe it is. Look at him!!!! *schwing*

No... Brain then looks, then personality ...
Then maybe I will keep him for 90 days before returning him.

Well. Looking back over the times I can be said to have "fallen in love," however you define it, what happened was always that I became entranced with who I IMAGINED the person to be, based upon their physical appearance, and/or on the way that they moved, and/or the way that they talked, and what about.

Can't say that I ever fell in love with a "personality," but that's because I probably define that word more clinically than most.

I have come to care very much for many people, some of whom I've never met face to face, and some who I know of only from my own observations, who never even came to realize that I exist.

I have found myself extremely glad and thankful that these people were alive in the world, I empathized with their pain, rejoiced in their happiness, and was deeply saddened if they died. I think that is love.

I have not been lucky enough to have fallen in love for any significant length of time with someone who was also in love with me. Just bad luck/timing there, I suppose.

Looks will draw you across the room to start a conversation with someone. Personality determines how long you stick around

Exactly. It starts with physical attraction. The rest is up to him...

Personality can both kill or enhance looks.
