Physical/Personal Qualities?

Posted: Jun 8, 2010

Which would you prefer when looking for a mate?

Personal Qualities or Physical Qualities?

Why would one win out over the other to you?

Guess ya'll are wondering why I ask this question? The answer is this: this guy that I know says he wants his mate to be average build (physical quality)and have certain personal qualities and won't settle for less than he wants. He's in his 50's by the way. My side of the argument is this: if my personal qualities are met then I'm ok with my mate being heavy or whatever. Because to me if your personal qualities are being met it's not what's on the outside that counts but what's on the inside that counts. So what's your opinion and why? Am I being stupid for this thought process? I understand you want what you want but does there come a time for you to compromise and settle for personal over physical qualities? Just asking is all.

A jerk is a jerk no matter what his physical outside looks like. I think women have a tendency to overlook physical imperfection if the man is good-hearted, treats them well, etc. Men on the other hand are visual creatures and may SAY they will overlook the physical things, but I think they all want the stick thin, 20 y/o trophies... again, just my opinion. :)

Of course it's what is on the inside that counts, BUT there HAS to be a physical attraction there. With that being said, everyone has a different idea of what's hot and what's not. If a person has a wonderful personality then that person may be beautiful to one person, but not to another.

I dated a guy once and EVERYONE would always tell me he was ugly (I have some brutally honest friends, lol) but to ME, he was very attractive. He did have the best personality and sense of humor, so maybe that is why I thought he was hotter than most.

With the above guy, I got to know him FIRST, before we dated, we were friends. Now, he may not have been my type physically and if I would have been set up on a date with him, I may not have even given him a second chance, looks-wise, cause we have to be turned on by that as well, although beauty is defined in so many different ways.

I am more interested in personality and character but still have to be attracted in a certain way. That does not necessarily the person is attractive to others. I don't think anyone can truly say what they will like/not like ... it sometimes happens with a person you wouldn't expect. - I wouldn't waste anytime trying to convince someone else of something though.

For me, it is what is on the inside that matters... - the inside of his wallet!

Need advice. My son is 40 and has 2 children ages 12 and 14. He is getting divorced but that's not the main issue. For the past 20 years he has been sporadic in sending christmas cards/gifts, birthday and mother's day cards/gifts. His wife would often cover for him but only some of the time. I don't believe I have ever had a card, phone call or gift for mother's day. The last few years I have gotten nothing on any of the aforementioned "sp ...

Since it seems that only rich people run for office...perhaps we should make campaign contributions illegal. Make these politicians foot the bill. The amount of money wasted on politicians for their campaigns would put a nice dent in our nations deficit. Would also get rid of this crony capitalism and perhaps get some politicians who actually will do the right thing instead of doing what their biggest campaign contributors want them to do. Just a thought. I'm j ...

ONe of the questions on the MMPI is whether you have a fantasy life that no one knows about. Which I do. So I got to wondering, does everyone? Maybe it's normal? We are not talking about sexual fantasies, but more like the old imaginary friends kind of fantasy life. I have never EVER told ANYONE about my fantasy life, which has been going on for probably 40 years. I have very well developed characters with names and histories. When I'm alone I replay ...

Do any of the women on here wear boxer shorts? I mean, MEN'S boxer shorts. The reason I ask is that I was complaining about the high cost of women's PJs and one of my friends told me she buys men's boxers at Walmart and sleeps in them with a large t-shirt for the top. I bought a 3-pack of boxers and found them amazingly comfortable! I was surprised to learn that two other women in our little group also wear boxers! Who knew? Somehow I just thought this was kind of funny. ...

We have BC of Oregon. Just found out while making an appt with a psychologist for my son that they will allow typically up to 20 visits a year for mental health, and they count ANYTHING that has a "mental health" type of dx, including if the PCP sees my son for a sore throat and just mentions his depression, and the PCP throws a DX code for depression, that will count against the 20 visits, even if the PCP only responded with "you should talk to Dr. so-and-so about this" and offhandedly us ...

Explicit personal anatomical information below - do not read if offended or prudish. Wondering if anyone else has had similar symptoms and how did you resolve them. I think I may have started menopause and have done some research on my symptoms. Seems like dry tissues and URI are a symptom, of which I have had both. Very rarely do I get URIs, but after this one was resolved (I hope), seems like i have somewhat dry but itchy and somewhat achy ...

A friend and I was having a conversation last night about the personal information people put out on these social websites. She read on another friends wall that her husband was in the hospital and gave the room number, name of hospital and telephone number. She was telling me why would someone post that kind of information for all to see. She was saying you don't have to be a PI to track down these people with all the information they give out.
