Would you rather date someone who has a hot supermodel body with a horrific personality, or someone who has a beautiful personality with a nasty, repulsive body?

I’d rather be alone than settle for those two choices.

Why is there a potential fix for the personality (despite taking a long time) but no fix for the body in this hypothetical scenario?

If I’d have to pick one I’d go for a nice personality with a nasty body .. in time I’d grow fond of her so it’s all good.

I agree with @Hibernate. I don’t care how attractive someone is physically, it’s easy to find them ugly, even repulsive, if their personality is ugly.

I want the middle of both… :)

I’ve dated guys that were drop dead gorgeous. But when I got to know them they ceased to be attractive because of their terrible personalities and I ended it.

I’d much rather be with the beautiful personality.

@tranquilsea Out of interest, what kind of terrible personalities of this gorgeous guy has?

@ANef_is_Enuf I was thinking about that, but let’s assume it takes a decade to fix the personality. Okay, to make up for it, the other partner can use makeup. How ‘bout that?

I’m not going to lie and say physical attraction isn’t important but I’d rather spend the rest of my life with my eyes closed than endure a lifetime with a beautiful monster.

I have dated some pretty odd looking guys because I got to know them first. Not repulsive but not very attractive, usually rail thin with big noses for some reason. haha

I don’t like these questions because there’s always lame options. At least make the options bearable.

Personality. If you love that, you’ll see the external beauty later.
yes I read alot of romance novels

@Male that still doesn’t make sense. Why can you fix the personality in 10 years, but a person with an ugly body can use makeup? It almost makes me feel like you’re pushing for people to answer a certain way.

Depends on when you asked me. If I was 18 right now I’d go for option 1. Now, I’d definitely go for option 2.. unless their “ugliness” was simply unbearable… In that case I’d go with option 3.

@TheIntern55 Really? Because those romance novels seem to full of drop-dead gorgeous, 6’4 hunks with six-packs and generous endowments.

@thesparrow Perhaps the elusive non-shallow female does exist!! =)

@thesparrow True. But what about Beauty and the Beast?

what girl doesn’t want a Beast?

I’ll take the Cyrano de Bergerac syndrome, thanks.

@Blueroses I’ll be your beast. :D

Agreeing with @chyna. AND! This sort of traces back to my question.

Beautiful personality.

I think I would have to not date, if those are the only options. I can’t be with someone who repulses me, regardless of what is repulsive.

If we’re talking about men, would this include an uncharacteristically small penis?

Simple answer is, I won’t settle and I can’t solve someone else’s problems.

Not a problem. I don’t date.

@TheIntern55 Beauty and the Beast is not a romance novel.

Neither of these options are all that agreeable, but if real life were really this black and white, I’d go with option A, because a beautiful personality would accentuate my own faults in that respect. Whereas, a repulsive personality I can at least mentally shut out. Actually, no, I take that back, the only justification for the former is that she’s physically gorgeous, but that also implies she’s shallow, vain, and just generally unpleasant in other respects, which is a major boner killer. So that narrows the decision to a miserable relationship because your wife’s a bitch, or because she’s too perfect for her own good. Neither are more agreeable than the other; therefore, fuck this, I’ve put too much thought into it already and it’s a purely hypothetical decision.

@ddude1116 GA.

Also, boner killer lol.

First of all, I believe that the first one to be more possibly true of the supermodel with the horrific personality than that of the one with a beautiful personality to have a nasty, repulsive body.

Nasty Pride Vs. Confident Look (if that makes any sense to anyone)

However, I feel your question is unanswerable because it lacks an uneven spectrum.

@Symbeline It’s just a wonderful phrase, isn’t it?

@ddude1116 I’ve heard cock block, but never boner killer lol. I like learning stuff. :D

It is a blast, yeah! I’m also a fan of saying “RIP boner” whenever something really awful happens or you hear something socially appalling. It’s very similar, except it totally sounds more despondent, and therefore, more awesome!

I’ve always been of the opinion that any woman (or man) can make herself sexually attractive if she works at it. Lose weight, bathe frequently, get the hair cut nice, keep the teeth clean, take care of one’s skin. Beyond that 99.9% of women can be attractive. And a “repulsive” woman (or man) with a good personality would take the steps.

I’ve been out with enough very good looking women who were absolutely rudely narcissistic that I don’t need to go through that again.

So I guess I’d go out with the unattractive woman.

I’m SOL either way I go with this, I’m a very visual person I guess one could say so I’d need someone who I find attractive (with an emphasis on extremely attractive) but between all the romantic times and all the filthy sex we’d have there’d be times where we just talk and hang out and for that to work we’d at least have to be able to stand each other to some degree and for that to work they have to be interesting to me beyond what they look like.

Then there’s the other way where we’d probably get along very well except I’d have trouble being romantic and/or banging them. This is quite the quandary to be placed in but if I had to choose it would be with the attractive option, my fingers are crossed that I won’t live long enough to be impotent.

The repulsive personality is right out, no way. As for a repulsive body, it depends how repulsive. If it’s a physical disability of some sort, I would probably be okay with that. If it’s weeping sores all over and an appearance that makes me want to vomit, I’d rather stay single and not get involved in the first place.

@TheIntern55 Well, I just learned two new facts, and I’m not sure what disturbs me more…
The fact that you read romance novels, or the fact that you consider ‘Beauty and the Beast” to be one.
