A good friend once told me: "Men marry for looks. Women marry for money."
If you want an evolutionary stand point then the above sentence is true. Males seek to spread their seeds as much as possible while females seek an excellent mate to take care of them. You know what I say? It is cowardice to blame our flaws on evolution and genes. I always viewed these things as belonging to animals of lower intellect. Why must humans degrade themselves to such standards? Might as well round the lot and treat them as such.
I will always go with the personality, even if the first thing that pulls me in is the appearance. A nice thing that occurs is that I quickly become bored of the pretty person if they fail to keep me interested (say the occasional intellectual debate, random musings, and overall perspective on life).
