RE: Is it true guys only go for looks?
I'm going to reverse it a little..
For a guy, I look at looks first. I think it's just how we're brought up and such. The better I know the guy.. it seems they become more attractive, so personality has a play on it. Obviously, if your in love with someone, you will think they're beautiful because you love them. When you see a person, you can't judge on personality, so you judge on looks first, and then once your drawn to someone, I believe you should get to know they're personality.
But then again, that's just my point of view ^_^

RE: Is it true guys only go for looks?
Honestly, I think we're all a bit shallow on the inside.
Generally, if the guy was decent looking, I'm down with that and if they have a great personality, that's perfect. However, I doubt I would ever get with someone who I thought was hideous. Even if they had a great personality, the only thing I would be able to give them is my friendship. Looks can be easily judged, and psychologically, it's a way that we've learned to analyze potential mates. I also think the media and society influences play a large role in this. For myself, I pay close attention to looks first and foremost because I think it still tells a great deal about the kind of person they are i.e. laid back, excessive on being impressive, etc... but I will admit that it's very limited.
With my boyfriend though, I pretty much shot for his personality. He was such a sweet, funny, and genuine person and before I knew it, I was head over heels, madly in love with him. With regards to his looks, at first I thought he was pretty attractive, but I knew that he was no Adonis. But now, I think he's the hottest male specimen on the planet---even hotter than Dante (if you haven't already noticed, I have an unhealthy obsession with Dante; DMC). I really could care less about what other men or other people say about him---hell, I'll defend him. He's just perfect for me and that's what counts.
By being with him and loving him for so long, I started to see so much beauty deep down inside of him and it radiates so much that I feel so nauseated by it---and loving it. I'm truly satisfied. Day by day, as my love grows for him, so does that beauty in him. I'm no model myself so I had limitations on my standards as well, but I'm happy with the fact that he loves me for who I am, both looks and personality.

I'm sane; it's the world that's crazy.

RE: Is it true guys only go for looks?
Well, shall I be honest, or shall I say what seems morally right?
To be COMPLETELY honest, everyone is shallow to some degree when looking for someone else. What draws you in initially to a person? You can't get to know a person and their personality until after you've approached them. So you can't say, personality is the driving force initially, and that you don't care about looks. Its what lets you meet people in the first place. You go up to someone, because you find them atleast mildly attractive, not because you think they might be nice, or have a good sense of humor. So I dislike when people say that looks don't matter to them at all, because well, thats just a lie. =P Though perhaps this might not apply to high school aged people, and under. As in those environments, you tend to get to know people, regardless just from such constant exposure, but once you leave high school, its not really like that anymore. When you're sitting in college/university, its not like that cozy, get to know the names of everyone in your classes feeling anymore. Then past education, well, you aren't really meeting anyone you don't approach or they approach you.
Though, ofcourse personality plays a HUGE role after you take that initial step. You get infatuated with looks, you fall in love with someone's personality. Yep, I'm not a cynical person when it comes to the ideas of looks and personality, I'm actually more of a hopeless romantic. I'm just, realistic.... =D
