Does personality really matter more than looks?

Question

I went to school with a guy who was larger than life. 

He’s not much of a looker but his girlfriend is. Can someone’s confidence really outweigh attraction

Answer 1

Depends on the audience really. Women tend to be more forgiving about looks if the personality is great. Sometimes men are harder to impress without beauty to go with your brains.

Answer 2

Well, everyone's preferences are difference. You might have not thought he was much to look at, but his girlfriend might have found him very attractive. And as you get older, you realise that looks are only one small part of a relationship. If you're going to be around a person for any amount of time, they have to have a personality. If they cant hold a decent conversation, you might as well be alone. 

Answer 3

Depends on your standards. It tickles me a bit when people say personality really because Quasimodo was a sweetheart but no one wanted him which proves looks do come first and rank quite high for most people. People just lie and say they don't because they don't want to sound shallow.
