I agree that women like more social area than men. Womens are usually over sensitive so they like to help people more than mens. Mens like more sports and areas that you need more your body, like sports etc. I also agree that womens look also to your character but i don'nt agree that they don't look to beauty. Womens worry more with appearance than men and ussualy they are not satisfied with their own beauty.

I think it isn't right, because a man can likes a woman by the psicologic caracteristic and a woman also can like a man only by his face, but I'm according to the test that in the most of parts happens the opposite.

In my opinion boys normally like girl�s appearance, but it is not everything that counts for me. Character is very important too. If you have a serious date with a girl it doesn�t matter how she looks like, if you can believe her and ask her for some help whenever you need it is all that counts.
In parties boys really look out for the most beautiful ones, but it doesn�t goes like this when they are looking for a serious girlfriend.

In my opinion boys like the girls aparence because that is your characteristic,it's in your DNA...
But girls doesn't like only the caracter of the boys, but likes very much the money from them...hehehehe

I remember such a topic where Bob wrote a fantastic explanation based on evolution.
However I can't find this post any more and maybe you can tell me where it is.

My explanation towards it is:

Men are physically stronger and they search for more adventure. We can see more men working at Engineering or technical branch than women, more women working at human resource management or language branch than men. Men are supposed to be better at scientific affairs and women are supposed to be better at social affairs, due to the fact that boys are generally interested in games like LEGO or cars in the childhood and girls are generally interested in Barbie dolls and playing family games in the childhood.
So men are more interested in the real facts/qualities (like numbers/PS number of the car) and women are more interested in the hidden characteristics of people.
So women set more store on relationship/love than men, men set more store looking at which girl is more beautiful.
For men the beauty can be seen on the face, so they generally tend to love fast and change love fast. They define �good wife� by the quality �beauty� in the first place.
For women, as the beauty for them lies in the relationship between her and her partner, they generally tend to stay at the one they love most. They define �good husband� by the quality �love them most� in the first place.

Haha I hope it doesn't reduce my salary I'm writing this in the company.


I think that is lie, has men that they take the beauty in first place and others not, and the same thing for the women, the truth is that when a person does not want to have a long relationship it is interested itself only for the beauty, but the person goes to think about the character of the other if the relation will be longer.

Boys like appearance because we aren't very sensive and we like beautiful body and because this we like appearance more that women. But the character is important too.
Girls like character more that men because they is very sensive and they like men's that are friend and boyfriend too but women like to buy clothes and other things and for they the money is very important.

in my opinion, each person is different.
so, I can find boys who likes of the boys characters and girls who like of appearance.

it isn't a good comment but is my opinion.

I think that we can't generalize! Because there are girls and boys who like character, appearance or both.
These things change in accordance with each person.

Ow, for me, Vini-o said exactly what I think about. Everybody likes beauty and character, some more character tha beauty and the inverse. But for this diference don't metter if you are man or woman. For it just metter if you want a short relationship or a long one. Almost all the time the people (men or weman) looks just for the appearence whent want a short relationship, and both (sometimes more character) when want a long one

It's a lie. Boys don't like just appearance, they just don't like the uglies, as a girlfriend. And with the girls it's the same thing.

I find the opinion interesting of I garfield_jesse, but I find that he must have a set, and is this that I, particularly see in a girl. The girl, beyond pretty has that to have character. I find that the girls search more the character because they very think about the future (one namoro serious, an engagement...) and the boys search beauty and they do not repair very to the character because she does not have plans with the girls, only think about today.

Hey, don't end in stereotypes. The truth is mostly more complicated.
I mean, ok, I like beautiful faces. But if I should do anything more than flirting with a girl, then I also need her to have a good character.

To give an example: There is also a stereotype saying "Opposites attract each other"
I think that's wrong. Because if your girlfriend has a character which is the opposite of your maybe you don't like it and you will have a lot of arguments.

However, if your girlfriend has a pair of boobs that are the opposite of yours, although you'd think they are too big to be appreciated, but you still won't have any arguments on that.

Sometimes we like those people who have the opposite characters of ours, and sometimes we don't. so it's not about the opposite or the same, it's about our taste at some time.

I'm thinking: A boy and a girl who don't have anything to talk with each other, the boy wants an easygoing relationship but the girl wants a close relationship. How can this work?

I think to title of thistopic are much generalizator, because not are every boy who like just appearance and are not every girl who want character. I think that depend of every one.
On a party, nobody want someone of character! Man and Woman just want someone beauty to have a date.
I have knowed much girls that just look appearance: "wow, look of that car of him!"
Maybe mens look first of appearance but it not say we don't look to character, if you want someone o stay, you have to reevaluate your concepts.
