    Combination brains, manners, sense of humour, and good values (I'm very religious). Being a musician and good-looking is a nice plus, as well. :)

    Brains are #1. I don't care how sexy a guy or girl is if they aren't smart then we can't be together. I can't handle stupid people for very long.

    I'm initially attracted to looks in a guy, but in the end, it's the intelligence that really counts. I have a low tolerance for stupid people.

    When I first met my hubby, I was immediately attracted to him, as he had such an artistic aura about him. Right away, my instant impression was that he was extremely intelligent, a deep thinker, earthy, artistic, and creative. Although he was absolutely beautiful, the physical attraction did not come until later on. :)

    Peace.

    Kind of a combination of the two. I like good looking guys. If I see someone I find physically attractive, I will be interested in him. I'm like a human that way.

    But that's not something I'd build a marriage on. In a relationship, I would definitly rather date a guy who's nice and friendly and fun and intelligent over a good looking jerk. But I can't honestly say I can see myself dating a guy who looks like Jabba the Hut because he happens nice. I'd love to be able to be all deep and say looks are totally irrelevent, but I really can't see myself happy in a relationship where I have no physical attraction to the other person. Personality is the most important part, but looks are in there, too.

    Agreed.
    Snap is essential,
    appearances be damned.

    first i notice the guys who are cute, but then i realize if i like them according to their personality and if they are smart. i tend to not like guys who are dumb. though there is theexception of a few gus i just think are cute and i totally dont even know who they are.

    i honestly am not attracted to the cute guys in my school. only if their cute and know them well...unlike most of my friends i know my crush well.....for example mine likes star trek, japan, physics, technology ( he can talk for ages on how to make a robot that will carry your books around school for you), clarinet, saxophone, marching band, good posture and he won't get embarrassed carrying aound a coffee mug that says"#1 Dad" ;) hes not beleive me.....and he is incredibly cute. i knew it but it never really clicked until my buddy said "my god he's gorgous!!" i don't find myself attracted to a guy til i know him.

    A good looking guy attracts me initially- but the personality keeps me around. My b/f is absolutly beautiful inside and out. Money has no part in it what so ever either.. i think that is just ridiculous. My guy has the best heart and morals and stands up for what he believes in no matter what and I think that is what I love about him more than anything. Honestly if my man ended up with no arms or legs... i would still love him just as much as I do now.

    LOL, just teasing about the !?. A man's looks are what draw your eyes but a man's mind is what keeps you interested. I've said countless times that in order for a relationship to work the couple must have depth. A person's looks are fine if you are just flirting but when the sex ends and he can't put a structure sentence together than what do you have?

    i'm not going to lie and say that looks don't have anything to do with it, but i have some guy friends who aren't very attractive at all who i still flirt with because they are good, hilarious, nice, people. if it was forced to choose i would pick brains over looks because like that cliche quote... "looks fade"
