No...but it's a good start

No, But its the attraction.

good looks will get you in the door, but who you are as a person is what will keep you there

No Way! Apparently - according to psychologists, after the first 10 seconds of talking to someone, we dont even really notice what they look like, but concentrate more on whats being said?

Nope. :)

Good looks could never outbeat a good personality, however they're great in addition to

Nopers!

not for the people i'd like to date. he can be hot as hell but he's not anything to me if he's got nothing in common w me

Well, my mom is a beautiful woman, and she's still with my dad. He's never cheated on her once. Then again, my dad is blind. Anyway, yeah, I think it can be possible, but I don't really think it's a good idea if that is all the relationship is based on.

Good looks will only get you but so far. And if you're socially awkward in any way, dating won't be easy.

Yep, just as long as you don't talk and mess it up by letting your personality out.

Pretty much yes. Unfortunately, no one is that good looking!

Success in quantity, but not necessarily quality

Maybe just in the beginning. But a good looking person with a bad attitude is not going to last long. I would rather be with an average looking man who had an awsome personality and good heart than with a good looking man who was a selfish jerk and cheated on me.

in dating i would think so but not in anything long term, not if the person is unattractive on the inside

Success comes from within the person. Good looks are fine. But what comes from the Heart is always better....................Just my point of view tho......M.C.S.

It depends... not all the time, but im sure for some people yeah.

If you look like Brad Pitt.........In fact success is guaranteed if in fact HE IS Brad Pitt.

hell no. you need the personality. One without the other is stupid.

you may get alot of dates but i belive in quality rather than quanity

No. Thats usually why a relationship fails isnt? Because a lot of people date for looks and nothing else. Than you get to know the person and your like "ugh what was I thinking!" Always get to know the person -_- I cant stress that enough.

No because you may have the looks, but what about the personality?

not at all

good looks can help but it is no guaranteed success

No. Good looks can attract, but it's intellect and personality which hold. : )

it's cool that most of the answers here are positive and that if most people were like those who answered this question, we would have definitely have less relationship issues here in the states (or the world). the sad reality is that despite personality some guys and girls (or most of them) really don't care about personality. rather how they will get them in bed is usually at the forefront of their minds and usually after they had sex with them, personality starts playing a factor. not all women and men place personality above good looks even after years in a relationship. so in response to your question, it depends on who you're dating and where you originally met them.

Far from it. Body language is much more important. The ability to hold your own in conversation is also pretty important. Good looks won't make up for negative body language or an inability to offer anything of interest in conversation.

Nope. A person can be the best looking thing going, but if that person is dumb as a box of rocks, it will make them not so hot!

not at all. I refuse to date "good looking" guys. They are usually douchebags

"Good looks" helps get you in the door. "Attractive personality" (and a bit of luck) KEEPS you there.

At first it can catch attention but if one will get to know the person better, it is always the personality that counts. ----------------- http://www.cebuanas.com

no

No, but they can be good enough to get a date or a one night stand.

No way in hell

Nope.

Me ugly. Me say, "Yes". Try being ugly. Rate go down hard.

If their date is deaf...then maybe.

not at all, I prefer to date a man who is not cassanova. I cant handle the arrogance and demanding nature that goes with it (I can imagine it is the same with women)

If you are a woman, that is all you need. Men, however, have to work hard at figuring out how to get girls to have sex with us.

no +5

No, because looks will attract someone sexually where as actions will keep the person, unless all they are out for is sex anyway.

Yes, but that doesn't mean the success will be long-term. If a really sexy guy/girl has a rotten personality, eventually he/she will drive away admirers.

Are you sure that's success and not simply a gonzo example of failure?

I think good looks make it easier to get dates but not necessarily guarantee success. Good looks attract and after that it's the personality that either wins or loses.

Depends to a large degree what you deem "success" to be. To my way of thinking - no where close.+5

doubt it, my last one turned out to be a hooker

"Guarantee"? Come on, Keith, do you really believe ANYthing is a guarantee in dating? Dating, just like 99% of all other things in life, has no guarantees. A date, especially a first date, boils down to 2 people being hopeful, based on their own expectations of the other person. If there were any guarantees at all, then a majority of all first-date situations would work out, thereby reducing the total number of first dates (because you wouldn't continue seeking a different person after the last one didn't work out). I'll make an analogy based on buying a house. I fell in love with the house-hunting process, because I looked at a slew of very different homes, many of which I liked very much. Going to open-house events became really fun for me, and I looked forward to each and every new threshold I crossed. I couldn't buy each one I liked, so finally I had to choose, right? Eventually, I had to move beyond house-hunting, and move towards house-buying. Of the houses that I liked, I bid on a few of them, and while waiting for answers, I continued looking at other homes. From those bids, the seller made his or her decision on whether or not to accept my offer. Once I bought the house, there was no need to hunt any longer. There was no guarantee that I would like every house I looked at, and of the ones I liked, no guarantee my bid would be accepted. Of the accepted bids, no guarantee the sale would work out. Dating is similar, it has no guarantees whatsoever.

Success in one-night stands, but not in dating.

not even close!!

Good looks will guarantee you a date however you got to be mature to get through it.

it is a good first attraction but personality will always shine through and most important in a long lasting relationship

Not in THIS lady's book! I try to AVOID extremely good-looking men as they tend to be so in love with themselves they CAN'T love anyone else!

No way ho zay!

as long as you're not a complete dummy.

Just because they got the looks doesn't necessarily mean they got the personality to go with it. Absolutely NO!

No they are NOT! A sucessfull relationship needs 2 people who honestly Love and care about each other. This includes trust and respect. Good looks wont buy any of that.

Looks mean a lot to many when it comes to attention, but it does not guarantee success because not all people go for the looks!

If it were just up to me, Keith, good looks wouldn't even get you in the door. The world is too hung up on looks.

no. the only guarantee to success is money. paris hilton is neither attractive nor inteligent yes how many people would like to date her? the roling bones... I mean stones? yet with those uglies being desirable... I have seen many hotties of both genders who can't get a date.

NO. Manners, sincerity and respect are though=)

no but id imagine it wouldnt hurt

NO. Met many a good looking jackasses when I use to date. It taught me the opposite. Some rely so heavily on their looks they don't develop a personality or even a likability factor.

They may guarantee the first date, but personality comes out on that date. If it is bad you wont get a second one.

Looks are good enough to get you laid so to speak, however if you want anything more then this, you need to have a little more then just looks. Sense of Humor,Intelligence (this is always good), Outgoing these are good things to have to back up those good looks, and a lot of other things as well. If i had to pick 1 thing though that would get you more success with women, it would be Oratory the ability to speak really really well and with confidence, this will get you more women then you know what to do with. You will also be quite the manipulator if you have this skill, if you do use it wisely.
