Honestly, no.

If that first swoon when looking at her doesn't occur then the attraction is not there. If that attraction is not there then it won't be ever.

However, if there is no personality to back it up there is no chance either.......

I remember the first time my wife walked into the room, breathtaking!!!!!!

Yes. My first serious girlfriend and I just totally understood each other and had such similar tastes that she could have looked like anything and I'd have fallen in love with her. I've got steadily more shallow over the last few years though.

ALWAYS

Good looking women are 10 cents a ton, but relatively few of them have the personality I like. I'm only attracted to women who carry themselves with self assuredness. Only after I see an aura of confidence do I look at the rest of the package, because a good looking woman who's incapable of doing things for herself or doesn't know what she wants is no fun.

I once based a major relationship on personality over looks; it was great at first, a meeting of the minds- but after a couple of years, after our scintillating dialog had kind of dried up, the looks thing became an issue, and contributed to the end of the relationship.

Both qualities are important.

No. Never. No way.

I'm probably the shallowest person you will ever meet.

Tried to "become" attracted to someone because of their personality... didn't work. I wasn't in the least physically attracted, so that one was dead in the water after a few dates.

Definitely. If she doesn't have the personality, the looks don't mean anything to me.

Not true... they can be plenty of fun.

definately. i've met a lot of really cool chick's that are not hott, yet i'd for sure date them.

it's not all about looks, you gotta have stuff in common and be able to tolerate each other.

No but ...

You have to be with someone that you are at least somewhat attracted to -- otherwise, all you have is a "buddy" instead of a significant other.

Exactly. Here's the metaphor I use: Looks are just icing on the cake, but what fun is a cake without icing?
