Another classic question and ofcourse every one prefer all the three but here the question is :
Which one would you prefer more in your partner and why?

beauty or brain or heart
Which one would you prefer more in your partner and why?

IMO questions like these are basically no different than someone coming online and asking "If you go to the Toyota website you can build your own Camry from the available features. Which would you prefer in your car, the v8 for power? The v6 for mileage? Or the sport package for speed?"

You think you're asking about the readers preferences, but the question forces the reader to objectify and see people as static objects who are only a collection of traits that seem to be mutually exclusive for some unknown reason.

So
Which one would you prefer more in your partner and why?

I would prefer enough beauty I find them attractive, enough brain to never ask me a question like this, and enough heart to get me to laugh about it when people do.

Well I'm having some 1800 Patron♡. Winding down from 16 hour workdays this week. Good post Jimmy. Got me looking at picks of my exes. I guess a good balance is nice. Pretty ladies, smart and sexy. Guess I've always been selective. But there was Zena, very short looked like a hobit, but pretty green eyes. Funny and very introspective. Laura was a long and gangly, loved Star Trek more than I did. Great legs, she could really tell some funny jokes. Evette was a pretty Nubian. Short hair and she loved new wave, great kisser and she tried to convert me into being a black panther. I told her I didn't think people would buy it! Lol. Guess it was diffrently in the 70's and 80's as a teen. Getting to know each other, that took time. Online stuff seems to try to get the get to know you stuff out of the way fast. My last date was with a gal I met at a concert. She bummed my phone to call her daughter. Later she said she did it as a test. Did I pass? We dated for 2 years. That was 2 years ago. So I guess so. Looks aren't everything. Look deeper. You may be surprised, just like me!

Heart because when they have a beautiful heart it flows to the outside.

Looks are skin deep

Brains can be nasty

That's like asking "If you had to choose, what would you prefer: lungs, kidneys or a liver?"
You can't live without anyone of those, so a useless question.

You can't live with someone without a brain, without something you find attractive (beauty), and without capacity of love (heart)

What's the point of the question?

I prefer beauty, but the brains & heart need to be edible.

Heart, because that's where love and kindness come from and those are the two most important qualities to me.

see these kind of questions drive me nuts



there might be something that attracted you to that person in first place..

something that prompted you to initiate conversation



probably was NOT based on their character or 'heart'

for me looks more like this

1. decent looking guy..might be interested in him
2. begin conversation to learn more about him
3. discover if he is halfway intelligent
4. decide if he is a douche bag or not
5. stay or walk away

I'd ask the question from the other end. Which one or two would you be happy doing without?

PART of the reason I am still without mate, is that I know I wont be happy without all three. I'm fine with friendships, even intense and life long such, but I will never again invest in less than all three as a mate. There's no point.

Hahaha crystal, you really don't read or you like to argue :wink: . As I mentioned all three are in most of the people but which one would you prefer to have more..more doesn't mean absence but presence of others and extra of one feature..I sometimes slaphead

Well from your reply can I safely presume you prefer more of looks. Ofcourse with brain and heart but more in looks

Cool bro, it is a personal choice so no argument there. As per I am concern, I would go with average looks, average brain but with good big heart. Someone who loves nature and people will make me happy.

I am with Jack on this one. If I can have only one the Heart is the big leader. Brains are nice because stupid can get on my nerves but if the heart is good I do not care if they are that "brainiac" . Looks has never held a big draw for me so it is so far down the list that barely matters if they are clean and not hung up on not being whatever is the typical version of "handsome".

hahahaha..actually I am an odd ball

could be the tone/timbre of his voice

could be his loud whole hearted laugh


could be how his eyes light up and twinkle when he finds something amusing

could be how he speaks to the people around him including the waiter or waitress in the restaurant

or how he talks to his daughter on phone when she calls during dinner

the care he took in his over all appearance because he knew he was going to meet me




the care and concern he shows to me in doing such things as opening a car door or escorting me by the elbow over an icy patch in sidewalk or opening the door to the restaurant or asking me what I would like to order and if I am unfamiliar with a dish, explaining to me what it is and giving me direct eye contact during our conversation


but there was something that drew me to him in the first place

in some respects I am a strong independent woman

I will drive myself to meet him in a location I have agreed to
I will decide when I am comfortable enough with a man to do this
I will decide how long to stay and when to leave
I decide how much of time and energy and attention I have to give
to anyone..and when that begins to interfere with my plans and goal I have
for my life



in other things..I am as Old School as they get
