It's what inside that attracts me. Physical looks don't mean a thing if they aren't a decent, kind and caring person.

It's a fact that more females are biologically wired to go for character & the opposite with men ( exceptions abound, of course!)

In my dating years ( I'm 58 & after 2 divorces, that's it ) my mother would comment on how homely my dates were ( not in front of them...lol ) But even in my teens, I went with character.

There's a neutral ground between the two (looks and character). A guy doesn't have to be drop dead hott for me to like him but I do have to be attracted in some way. A guy's character is the deal breaker. A man could be super goodlooking but if he's a total asshole then forget it...I'm not shallow. Often a good sense of humor and general honesty can play up a man's appeal dramatically. :)

Looks - wrapping
Character - real deal! =) U don't want a woman who goes for your looks only in the first place. Besides, women have the same exact problem with guys.

How ironic that women want men with character but in my experience I've dated women and since I was not 'hot' I was automatically, rejected. Of course, this can be attributed to the fact that they were hot and very aware of it and hence, are playing the screening game for the hottest guy. I've learned that it's better to go for the plain janes; they're not so apt to reject you after 1 lunch or date because they themselves, are not getting a lot of dates like the hot ones are.
