Personality vs Looks in Dating: Which is MORE Important?

There are men all over the world who are insecure about their looks and use that insecurity to avoid finding love. There are also a lot of men who don’t think they have a pleasing enough personality to go on dates and meet women.

But if you had to choose, would you rather improve your looks or your personality?

We all have our own insecurities, and no one is perfect. However, there are certain visible traits that can make men more attractive and carry weight in your relationship.

Looks and personality go hand in hand in dating. But there is only so much we can do to improve the way we look, save for a bit of grooming and plastic surgery.

So what else can a man work on to improve his chances with women?

Attractiveness Alternatives

We all want to be more than what meets the eye. While some may be good looking on the outside, their character and what’s inside isn’t necessarily their best feature.

Unfortunately, that’s what women look forward to later on in the relationship.

Aside from looks, there are other qualities women admire:

• Humor

They say that if you can make a woman laugh, you’re halfway to her heart. You don’t have to be stand-up-comedian funny. But you do have to lighten up every once in a way. And while most people might squirm at your corny jokes, don’t be afraid to whip them out when the moments feel dull.

• Values & Principles

Values are arguably your biggest asset in attracting a date. A woman can easily see a future with a man she shares values with. She wants to be with someone she is compatible with and someone who shares the same ideas as her. Don’t be scared to be vulnerable around her.

• Communication

Women love a man who is open and honest with his feelings and is clear enough to admit them to her.

Women love mystery as well, but keeping to yourself too much can make them feel unwanted. If you’re a good talker, then use that to your advantage. Do not hold back words of affirmation, support, or flattery.

Personality Type

They say opposites attract. It isn’t always about being the exact opposite, but being the perfect complement that creates chemistry.

While it is important to have shared interests, you stand a good chance of getting into a meaningful relationship by choosing a date who can thrive with your personality type.

Not all introverts have to be with introverts, or extroverts with extroverts. Some strong-willed women enjoy being with laid back men. Some strong men need a strong and supportive wife.

Personality type always comes into the equation, so use that to your advantage.

Be More Than Just Your Looks

Overall, there are more traits than just physical appearance that women find attractive. And sometimes having a pleasing personality may make you more attractive than having a good-looking face.

Looks and personality play a role in the search for a partner. Looks favor first impressions and personality favors compatibility. The key to every successful date is learning how to balance the two and to keep an open mind on who you date.
