Hey guys,
I guess you can like/have a crush/love a person either by his or her looks or by his or her personality.
I feel that getting attracted to the personality of another person is as wrong/dangerous as getting attracted to merely their looks. Just like you shouldn't get judge a book by its cover, you shouldn't judge a car by its features on the brochure. 😆

What do you think?

Well marketing is all about packaging and telling a lot of lies. 😆

Why? Isn't personality more overbearing than mere looks? Also, I guess it depends on every individual's definition of personality. To me, personality is equivalent of character - a person's whole being, everything from how they talk, walk, how they present themselves, their mentality, their opinions, how they treat others, everything falls under personality. Personality isn't simply a collection of traits, its more than that, its how those traits combine to create a whole person.

And if you find someone who's personality is attractive to you, then you're talking about the whole deal, which to some extent includes their looks, or rather their presentation of themselves.

Of course there is a very fine line between attraction and actually loving someone. We are attracted to many things, sometimes rightly, but many times wrongly. Some things look better from far away. Also, we sometimes want to like something or someone so much that we start seeing or imagining things that aren't there. But that's a whole other discussion.

Why would it be wrong to get attracted to an impressive personality at all? I cant really comprehend the topic since I dont see a clear answer to it...would you mind elaborating on it a bit more?

like i said, we can fall in love either by attraction due to :
looks
personality(behaviour and stuff)
and many other reasons, but I am talking abt going merely by personality:

eg, say you like this boy because he was charming,witty,successful etc, but later find out he's an a hole.. somethin like tht

But that has nothing to do with him. That would simply be your fault for misjudging someone's character. Like I said in my earlier post, you're falling in love or are attracted to something that's not there or rather something you wish was there. Either way, its your fault, don't take things at face value.
