Looks or personality – what's more important?

I used to know this dude a few years ago. He was simply gorgeous, couldn't believe he'd actually notice me. We started hanging out and I got to know him better. Turns out he was a complete jerk. That moment I just couldn't see him as good looking anymore, he just became ugly in my eyes. Didn't feel sorry one bit when I stopped talking to him.
My point is that, while looks do play a part, in the end, it really is the personality that matters the most. If I just want something pretty to look at, I can always get a painting. 😛
 
I think that "looks" are completely separate from "physical attraction". Of course, they often overlap, but the superficiality in society is all to do with looks. I think the majority of people are physically attracted to people who you'd never see half naked on the side of a billboard, and also to people that the majority of their friends don't find particularly attractive. So, I think being physically attracted to someone is extremely important, but that doesn't mean that they have to be some kind of model.

Of course, with teenagers, all of this goes out the window. Hormones are often rather unforgiving! XD

Lindsay Macdonald brought up another good point; in addition to some mingers I have also dated some real hotties. It's bad when your other half is better looking than you because then you know your friends all want to get with them. That sucks a bit. So always try to get someone that looks just a little worse than you but not really far down the list because, ya know.. while you do want so showcase her a bit you dont want her to be so homely you cant show her to your friends.
 
I think there's a difference between general attractiveness and then how much you are attracted to someone - if that's make sense. For instance, my boyfriend is awesome. Our personalities click really well, we've been best friends since we were 12 and we've been dating for a really long time. Personality is big in this, he gets me and I get him. And I think he's extremely attractive,a lot of girls do! ;D Would I say he's surface level more attractive than....I don't know...Joseph Gordon-Levitt? Eh, no. But who am I attracted to more? My boyfriend for sure. I never look at another guy and think, "Oh, if only my boyfriend were that hot." Because we mentally click and have those deeper feelings there, I find that the person I am most sexually attracted to is my boyfriend.
