Yeah, personality for the win .
But usually, I do consider looks .
If you could choose from two people with exactly the same everything including personalities but one was better looking than the other, who would you choose ?
Haha someone said they would choose the uglier one so no-one else would want to steal him away . xDD

I like a good personality.
I can see past looks any day.
but as hard as it is to find,
looks + personality would be
really nice. :]

I do agree that it's good to have some attraction to the person before getting to know them and liking them for their personality but there's always the chance that just because that person doesn't attract you, you could be missing out on a great relationship. I would like to think a level of attraction is necessary for a relationship and that the person you like takes decent care of themselves. Big turn offs for me are Bad hygiene *if you stink I'm coming no where near you. ><;*, bad teeth *as in horribly crooked, missing, discolored. It's actually a phobia of mine*, abusive, mean, crude, lier, overactive pervertedness *I can handle light perversion and teasing but I don't want someone who's going to grab me or another person all the time* and morbidly obese. If you're a lil chubby or over weight I'm fine but if you're five times the size of me...I can't handle that. You need to be somewhat healthy.
Turns ons are guys that are healthy, fit, smell good *XD*, has good teeth, kind hearted, soft side for things, funny, tells the truth no matter what, doesn't mind hard work, and likes to have fun once in a while. The hair can be long, short, bald *dun care*, he can have green/blue/brown/gray/black/hazel/or mixed eyes, I don't care about that. As long as he finds me attractive and visa versa. That's muh guy. ^ ^

Personality:
Well, I try and look for someone nice,kind and intelligent. Being funny doesn't hurt.

Looks:
In guys, I look for feminine and/or gothic ones. I truly don't know why.

In girls, there isnt a certain preference.

Turn Ons:
Feminine/gothic guys.
Tongue piercings.
Long beautiful flowing hair.
Belly piercings.

Turn offs:
Masculine guys.
Assholes.
Greedy people.

Turn ons?
red hair
funny
goofy laughs
weird humor
[I have odd humor v.v]
interest correspond with mine, at least slightly
clean O.o ish

Turn offs:
dirty XDD
hung on someone else
furry chests..[like major fur, alittle isn't that bad]
drooling over anime characters...XD
drooling over movie stars too..

Hmm, let's see. Personally I tend to be more into the personality than a girl's looks, although I tend to like something near average. Going too far beyond the healthy BMI in either direction tends to make me want to look away, really, either too heavy or too thin. In general, I consider almost any girl that is of average dimensions pretty, especially if she is proportioned well. In terms of bust, I tend to prefer the looks of smaller breasts, they just seem prettier to me.

Turn-Ons:
Average-ish looks in terms of height, weight, and measurements.
Intelligence
Similar interests / Fields of study
Good sense of humor

Turn Offs:
Extremes of weight, either way
Fake boobs / Out of proportion
"Hip" personality
Low IQ / Generic bubble-headednes.

• Personality is the most important thing to me, and that is what attracts me to another person above all else. I don’t really care for looks, but I see it as an added bonus. Their personality is of the upmost importance but it doesn’t hurt if they’re easy on the eyes as well. When I say easy on the eyes, I don’t mean like media/supermodel good looking – I just mean somebody who takes care of themselves such as eating healthy and bathing regularly. I’m a fairly small person in both stature and size and tend to find myself more attracted to guys who are taller than me since it makes me feel more secure. I’m 5’ even WITH shoes and am done growing, so I’m pretty darn short.
  
  
  Turn On's
  Intelligence. This is without a doubt my biggest turn on ever, and I can’t stress that fact enough. I don’ care how ungodly good looking somebody is or how well they are in the sack, if they can’t hold an intelligent conversation than they are out the door.
  
  A Good sense of humor and a smile are two other things I am attracted to. I like to laugh, and make people laugh – so if I can have somebody that can take a good joke then that would be wonderful.
  
  Somebody who shares similar interest as me, such as math and science. Also I have a love for horror movies that makes most people think I’m a tad creepy. So they have to be able to sit through at least a few of those.
  
  Not afraid to be themselves.
  
  Accents make me drool. Nuff said.
  
  Lips piercings also make me drool same with tattoo’s D=… (This is a definite added bonus).
  
  
  Turn Off's
  Unintelligent people.
  
  Somebody who thinks they know it all just because they wiki’d something. That annoys me to NO END.
  
  Bad breath and people who don’t take care of themselves. Nothing turns me off more then somebody with reeking breath, horrid BO, and greasy hair.
  
  I also don’t like fake people. Like what you like and don’t be afraid to be who you are even if it makes you stand out from the ‘hip’ crowed. Ex. I had a friend who loved the beetles, but denied and trashed them simply because his cooler friends were and he didn’t want them to know (lame, eh?).
  
  
  I think that’s about it D=. Sorry for my typos, I’m half asleep and when half asleep my English tends to diminish. Just be happy half of it wasn’t written in Italian xD.

Hmm.
A big turn off for me would be the goth / emo / scene look.
I don't really find it attractive if anyone above the age of fourteen is still caught up in that phase.


Also, good looks are essential.
And as long as the person isn't stuck up or really boring, I'll be happy with them. C:

Personality for me is much more important than appearance. However, the person needs to be clean, and not dripping with grease, sweat, BO, and what have you all day under normal circumstances. (In the case that they are after work, working out, or whatever, they need to take a shower first. XD) But really, just someone that I wouldn't be ashamed to be in public with.

After being in some kind of difficult relationships, I've learned to look at personality before appearance, but also to give appearance enough of a consideration and not just take anyone because I need to have a date. :P

What I personally find attractive? Geeks. Not like, Otaku neckbeards, or things like that. I just like geeky guys, especially very intelligent ones, but also have a unique sense of style. They just do their own thing, but don't dress in like, white dress shirts with pocket protectors. XD

you CAN have both. :3 you don't need to be ugly to have a nice personality. and you can be at total asshole no matter how good/bad you look. So don't generalize, please.

Turn offs are overweight, greesy hair or skin (looks so un-hygiene).. yeah. can't come up with anything more right now.
why overweight? I like to wresstle and cuddle with my boyfriend, and I wouldn't want to be crushed. I also want to be able to wrap my arms around them. Is that too much to ask?

turn ons..? broad shoulders I think.. and nice eyes and a smile. nobody can resist those :)
oh yeah! intelligence is a big turn on! unless they think they're better than anyone else for being intelligent.. O.o

However, I want personality. I don't care about your looks, but I'm very very picky when it comes to personality. :3

I'm very lucky that I found my boyfriend :o
for a long time, I was afraid that all the nice guys were a bunch of pussies and boring and stuff.
well, he's a nice guy, but certainly not a pussy and not boring at all. If he was I wouldn't have been with him for 3 years now x)

well... if they have both, that will definitely be a BONUS =)

but if they only have one of them, it would quite be a problem...this goes specially if they only have beauty but not having a good personality...i have seen quite a few people like this, and they dont do well in obtaining my attraction...

but if someone has only nice personality, but they dont have the look...i think that would not really be a problem...it might, i dont know but i dont think it would be so biggy... just that they have to have a suitable personality...because i have this one fella who act like he's really good looking, which would just make people annoyed in him ( though his actually a kind guy, just acting cool sort of )

As rare as me being attracted to anyone happens, I tend to base my attraction more on personality over anything. I do appreciate aggressiveness in a man, as well as respect. And, yes, you can have both, I've met plenty of men like that. :x
Intelligence is a HUGE turn-on, too. I have such an interest in someone I met who now goes to college, a year early at that. The way he thinks is very unique, and, well, it intrigues me. A lot of other people has said that "hes as ugly as hell", but i disagree. His mind if beautiful, and that makes the rest of him beautiful.
Honesty is a big thing with me too. This is pretty self-explanatory. D:


Now, as far as looks go, I'm not too picky. I seem to have a 'thing' for stocky-built people; you know, big (usually muscular) belly, big arms, very sturdy looking. :3
And you can't go wrong with facial hair.
But that doesn't mean you HAVE to have those features. I've been attracted to people of all different builds and facial features. :3

Since I tend to go for personality and intelligence more than anything, that does mean I have to know the person first. Which is fine. Why the hell would I date someone I just met? ._.
I need to trust them before I do anything with them, hell, I need to trust someone before I call them a friend.

There has to be something to attract me, otherwise I'll never find out if they have a good personality or not. I don't think it's shallow or anything, it's simply the fact that you have to find someone attractive or else there really won't be much of a relationship.

What does it for me? I like a tall guy. I can deal with almost anything else if he's tall.

What turns me off? There was this guy in high school that constantly had a runny nose. I hate snot and can not 'just ignore it'. I don't like extreme thinness either, give me some squishiness to snuggle into.

• Exactlyy. I'm attracted to looks before personality. It doesn't necessarily mean looks are more important, just that I don't even get to the personality part if they don't have good looks first.
  
  Lessee... physically, in both boys and girls, they need to have a nice body. I'm more attracted to average-sized frames on guys, but on girls I tend to like skinny. A HUUUGE turnoff for guys is when they're skinny-fat... like, they look skinny, but when the clothes come off, you see that they are untoned and pudgy O_O Hahaha. I really like tall guys, like 6'1" - 6'4". As for things like eyes, hair, etc. I don't have a general preference.
  
  As for personality, they HAVE to be intelligent and mature. I have never been attracted to someone younger than me. People my age are generally stupid and obsessed with petty drama. I've been through a lot of shit in my life, and I really cannot stand people who are ignorant to those issues that have essentially shaped my life. I like loyalty. Ambition. Respect, that seems to be something many males lack. Morbid sense of humour. Someone I can trust. Someone who likes to party and meet new people, like meee.
  
  I don't have that many specific physical turn offs. Just general things like being ugly and gross and smelling bad, lol. Oh, but I do hate when people's thighs touch when they stand with their feet together. Personality turn offs, I HATE CLINGY PEOPLE. I hate hate hate whiny low self esteem people, ewshutup, I won't even be friends with those kind of attentionwhores. I also don't like excessive PDA... holding hands sometimes is fine and so are hugs and quick kisses, but I'm likely to squirm away from anything else. Hmm wow, I basically just described my ex with these personality turn offs hahaha.

- Turn offs.

I do not like people with exessive peircings/tatoos.

It's a bit of both, really, as I'd imagine it would be for most people. Looks are what initially attract me to a person, but what they're actually like can make an average-looking person desirable, or a stunning-looking person really undesirable.
Looks-wise, I've got certain ideals and favourite things - decent height, slender build, red hair, blue eyes, etcetera - but I've found all kinds of people attractive and am often willing to settle for people on the lower end of the scale. I've always preferred ordinary-looking types to people with movie-star looks.
Personality-wise, above-average intelligence isn't actually compulsory but is pretty high on the list. Maturity, friendliness, kindness, good sense of humour, respect for others, that kind of thing. The real test is whether I can have a good conversation with them, without awkward pauses; I know I'm onto something good if I can talk to somebody all night long and not get bored.
Arrogance, selfishness, wilful ignorance and hypocrisy really put me off. No matter how good you look, being malicious and unpleasant will turn me right off. And slightly less important, I'm generally not into the trendy kids; the whole hard-drinking, hard-partying, mainstream culture thing bores me senseless. It's nice if people share at least a few of my interests.

I dunno, it works both ways for me. But, i'm easy to please. If someone's interested in me, i'm happy. xD Prolly due to low self esteem and all that shizz. But yeah. If they're good looking, it's a bonus. If they have a nice personality, It's a huge bonus. x3 But, if I was to state my perfect guy, i'd be really picky and shallow. ><

Turn ons: Long-ish hair. <3
Feminine guys.
Skinny.
Taller than me, but not like over 6ft. I'm only 5ft and it'd be hell. xD
&&I like the whole mysterious eyes thing.

Turn offs: Overweight or too muscly.
Too tall. xD
Chavs.
Mega alcoholic or druggies.

There's probably LOADS more. But that'll do.

For me, personality is a VERY important thing...and honestly looks do come second. When I first met my boyfriend I thought he look attractive but there were other guys that I thought were even more attractive, but when I started to get to know every one I was like 'wow Alex (that's my boyfriend's name) is just amazing! He's so funny and nice and truly does care about other people.

I get really turned off...and I know this may sound strange but if a guy is all muscle, I don't know I just get really turned off...It's strange I know. I guess when I'm watching a movie I may be wow that guy is hot. BUt I'm not really 'turned on' by him...and I think I like the quiet but very...profound type, that's kind of how Alex is. He's very modest but has amazing talent (he's a music major) but he doesn't flaunt it like some people.

And this started a long time ago...I am attracted to legs...don't know why, I just like legs, and of course eyes. ^.^

haha, I thought I liked long haired guys UNTIL I dated one. xD
well, first of all, his hair was longer than mine, a beautiful natural blonde, little bit wavy.. something that a girl would want to be HER hair. I know I was a bit jealous of it. :D
then, there was hair everywhere -.- EVERYWHERE.
if he was sometimes on top of me, the hair would fall into my mouth Dx eww..
and even after I left him and moved to another place and everything, I can STILL find his stupid hair everywhere >.> persistant.

so I don't like long hair on guys anymore :P

xD good for you!

Well, of course there has to be sexual attraction in a good relationship.
Which is why we want to date pretty people. C:
Anyone who says they don't care about looks is lying.

Looks are important.
And so is personality.

Turn on's for me when I'm looking for a male are...

He has to be able to make me laugh. (That's the main thing)
I like femmy men which I can take care of. <33
They have to be brave. I can't stand pussies. D:<
Guys with a great smile is big for me too.
Nice hair that I can run my fingers through is good.
Skinny, but not TOO skinny. And I also don't mind them a bit chubby. :33 Just not really fat. :'D
They can't be gross and say nasty shit like most straight men do. Like how they fucked a girl last night or whatever. D:< Bedroom talk is for the BEDROOM.
There is a lot more, but I'll save you the reading. :'D

What I look for in GIRLS are...

Most of the same with guys. Like with humor, bravery, and wieght.
I want a tall girl.
I love boyish girls with the pixie cut. <33
I love it when they are androgynous and look like a pretty boy. It's a major turn on.
Small breasts are nice. x3
I like it if they are rough and roudy.
I like it when they can take care of me. <333

Um. Yeah. I'll stop here since I'm typing a lot. xD

what's a pixie cut? :o

Well, my mother always says of my father, "he hasn't bored my yet," and I'm inclined to find that really important in a relationship. That said, I do enjoy a good redheaded boy. But seriously, if I were talking about the perfect guy, his personality would be easier to describe than looks.
