People have speculated about the importance of looks for centuries now and today, with all the millions of beauty products, cosmetic treatments and fabulous clothes on offer, we could be forgiven for thinking that looks are more important than ever; this is true to an extent but most people would agree that when it comes to a relationship, looks aren't everything.

Warm personality vs looks

To consider the person you are with as good looking is a definite bonus but many people would agree that a person becomes much more physically attractive if they have a brilliant, warm personality. Just because your friends don't think your partner is attractive, doesn't necessarily mean that they're not. Everyone has different taste so what some people perceive as beautiful or handsome, someone else may perceive as unattractive.

Shared interests

When you are in a serious relationship with somebody you tend to spend a lot of your free time with them, so simply being physically attracted to them will usually not be enough to make a solid relationship. In most cases, you need to have things in common, shared values, a similar sense of humour and a similar idea of what the future holds for you in order to build a strong, long-lasting relationship. Even if you do find somebody extremely attractive, the chances are that you will become disinterested pretty quickly if you find them dull, rude or ignorant, for example.

A shining personality

For most people, personality far outweighs looks, but in an ideal world I think everyone would agree that they would prefer to find a partner that they had both a physical and mental connection with. Many people say that they really like a person because they have a great personality but the spark is missing and they don't have the strong physical connection to them. The physical side of a relationship is important for most couples and some people will freely admit that they feel that have to choose a partner who they find very attractive.

Many people agree that you don't know what you're really looking for in a partner until you meet ‘the one' and this can completely change your perceptions of what you wanted your ideal partner to be like. Very few people end up with somebody who would fit the description of their ‘perfect' partner.

What does it for you?

In short, looking for a partner should not be about going on a hunt to find the most physically attractive specimen around; if you feel a strong mental connection with someone, it is likely that they gradually become much more physically attractive to you. Physical attraction is really important and some people would say it's a deal breaker, but for most of us, a combination of looks and personality is ideal.
