Have you ever been attracted to someone MOSTLY because of personality?

For example, if this guy/girl was extremely funny, charming, flirtatious, witty and kind... if they had a 'hot' personality, and fairly average (not unattractive or offputting, just nothing-special) looks?

Or even someone not conventionally physically attractive AT ALL, but with an amazing personality?

Surely there'd be some initial attraction (based purely on looks) before you got to know them?
And plenty of people are attracted to beautiful dullards.

I am never attracted to a girl who is good looking but very arrogant and up her own arse.

That is the only thing that attracts me. A hot girl is good to look at, but if you can't hold a conversation or say something nice, then whats the point? Physical attraction isn't a huge thing for me.

Those that don't have the initial physical attraction tend to be..

"Oh, he looks nice. I wonder why I never noticed before"

yes

Same (though for guys)....

I'm also not the kind of person who says/thinks 'that guy over there, he's really fit' about, say, a stranger in a social setting - I tend to be oblivious to that kind of thing.

I've been attracted to people because of their personality first. I tend to become physically attracted to them because of that, but the personality remains the main reason behind the attraction :smile:

It's hard to say. If I like someone I will find them physically attractive. I'm pretty sure my perception of a person's looks is affected by my opinion of their personality.

Unquestionably, yes.

Yes, if someone is conventionally attractive but a complete idiot they're not attractive at all to me. I much prefer someone slightly odd looking but lovely. :smile:

Seems to be a load of threads like this recently, always makes me wonder... do most people generally go on looks alone then??!

Yes, everyone I've liked I've liked because there's comething about them. Their personality their mannerisms etc. And like I said somewhere before, when you lik someone don't they automatically become attractve?

Yep.

I have been really attracted to a friend of mine for about a year now. So smart, kind, funny, determined, caring - the list goes on.

But, in terms of looks. Well. I don't think he is ugly or anything but he isn't what I would usually define as my view of attractive. Very skinny etc.

I dunno. I think he's fab. As a friend and as something more. Shame he came out at Christmas though lol.

=D

Yep, I base it on personality far too much. Not to say I'm not shallow, it's just I'm usually blinded by their dazzling personality at the time. :smile:

my boyfriend :smile:

, well thats what i thought on first meeting him, but his personality was amazing so it outweighed anything else i might have originally thought.
but then as time's went on he's become more & more physically attractive to me..
but yeah, like other people i wouldnt be attracted to someone just because of their looks if their personality was awful..
