I figure a new topic might be appreciated, but if not, I will learn the hard way. Here is my story. I have a friend who is not ugly and is height/weight appropriate. She is always whining about not being able to meet, have, beg, borrow, steal or dig up a good guy. Now I have an hour glass figure with a little overtime on the clock, and have never had this problem. She is smart, so am I. She has the personality of greasy hair hanging around your neck like a choke hold, and I am all out going. So, tell me fellas, does the size mean more? or the kind of personality a gal has?
You will find guys that like both but those that pick her are looking for some fun and then dumping her. Personality is everything (if you are going to be around her for any length of time). It's amazing to watch a woman take on a certain glow when you start talking to them, their personality makes the figure secondary.
The 'ideal' woman would be good looking and have an awesome personality, but thats usually not the case. So you go out with them because they are good looking but bad personality and in the long run = disaster/divorce (which is what 51% of the marriages end up in now). Or you get someone with an awesome personality and does not look quite as good = still a lifetime commitment. Keep looking and try the online dating services, they are not that expensive and gives you a whole buffet of women to choose from. Personality first & then looks second, for the long haul.

I've been married for more years than a lot of the folks here are years old. From my old perspective looks matter, size matters and personality matters, but in the end it is the total person like DonJames said. All those issues can change over time. What really counts is the total combination and then add issues of character and common interests. If you can't trust someone for the long haul, it will just be a short trip. It's kinda like how you treat your own truck or the one you rent for the day. If you want to be driven hard and used hard be a rental. If you want love and care look for someone that takes care of their stuff and the people around them. My trucks may not be the prettiest, but they have the important stuff taken care of. It's the same way with people. Amen, the sermon is over. Hehehe.
Now I have an hourglass figure with a little overtime on the clock...
Kinda gives new meaning to "putting in a little overtime", doesn't it?

Interesting point. On some level, I disagree tho. My little car has 244,000 miles on it now....I ask a lot of it...I drive it hard. But I take damn good care of it.

Tell us what you REALLY think...
Personality all the way. Size can make a difference in initial attraction, but who the person is will determine if they are a "keeper".
I suppose having someone that is easy on the eyes, makes it easier to overlook the little things that might annoy someone otherwise, causing us to think, Geez that is annoying, but look at how cute she looked doing it! However if you are in it for the long haul, she needs a good personality. After all they may start to look like their mother, or even worse.. like their father.
What do you mean "look like their father?" I have daughters and I think they are nice looking. Oh BTW, you have daughters too!!! May lots of boys with tattoos and nose rings hang around your house at an early age. LOL

so is your argument for it or against it, I am confused. Using that I have two daughters, is a good argument of why I don't want them to look like me. I mean right now my daughters are pretty cute(maybe just my opinion), but the day that that they start to look like me... well that will be a sad day, I don't want them to end up lonely and alone.
Well, both of my daughters look like some of my family members. Fortunately for them not a whole lot like me. Now, when they are 80 years old who will care.
Curtis, your daughters could do a lot worse than look a little like their dad. Sorry for the compliment.
Funny, my daddy looked like his momma. I don't look like either of my parents, and neither had strawberry blonde hair nor green eyes. Wonder what our milk man looked like?
