Personality! and common interest. Looks do come into to it a certain degree but if they've got a horrible personality it spoils any looks they may have. Looks alone can't win through. Thankfully I gots looks, shared interests and personality with my Wife.

Awww.

please forgive said wife for barfing

I do agree with hubby though (I am perfect lol) looks help but if you are ugly on the inside it really does show on the outside. For me the big winner is being able to laugh at yourself

hahaha that's a good one lol. ability of laughing at our selves is a base for acceptance by others and, as Ryuhebi said, a mine of jokes on its own lol.

on a side note, some icons in the post menu have become unclickable, perhaps of of the admins could have a look at it.

Thanks It's true though isn't it. I find if someone pokes fun at themselves I can warm to them. Funny how that works.

Yep, I've noticed that too.

Yes, it also builds immediate trust as one can deduce that if you are truly honest with self you will do the same with others. That is a foundation of any solid relationship.

For me personality goes a long way. To me looks are essential solely as a plus (and it does help), but how far does it really get? I don't know. I've met my share of pretty girls who very rarely had anything interesting to say (or maybe shared no common ground with) and I always feel like I really have to have "the right and only thing to say" state of mind at all times in order to carry out a decent conversation, which I find off putting and almost as a punishment. So if a girl is generally cool, easy to get along with that very much does it for me. If the girl happens to be real pretty that can only make it better, but usually girls that are really cool and are real pretty at the same time always happen to have boyfriends in their lives so I guess you have to work with what you get either way.

That's an excellent way of saying it.

Both, because 1, personality and looks (the way a person looks like, not so called: good looks) are intertwined, hence both personality and looks are individual and differ as well as evolve. 2, personality is an expression of everything put together (mind, soul, body and heart) and brought forth visible (sound/visual).
