Reply #71: I think there are plenty of guys like that

where personality in a woman is extremely important. I noticed over the years that while I sometimes would date a woman once or twice based on their physical appearance, for the women I dated more than that, it was always based on their personality - smart, outgoing, good sense of humor, not conservative politically. Of course, I lucked out in that my ex-wife was pretty hot, and my wife now is hot, too.

I will say that guys are more likely than women to give a "hot" dating partner the benefit of the doubt when it comes to personality & intelligence. There are plenty of exceptions, however.
