Girls, when did you start to look for more than a face in a guy?

I'm a freshman in college, and I started to notice that majority of girls actually want a guy who enjoys intellectual conversation.





During high school, girls didn't care about it, all they wanted was a hot guy.





I mean, college girls want hot guys as well, but apparently it's not as important as it used to be back in high school, you know.





And I think it's same for guys too. Now I DO look for more than a face in girls. I'd rather date average looking girl with nice personality than hot girl with messed up personality.





So yea, girls, from your experience, when did you start to look for more than face in a guy? If you mention, age, it'd be great but certain period of time(during high school, college, etc.) is nice too.

Personality is everything. You have to be able to have a conversation with meaning to like the person. And I started looking in High School. Yeah they have to be at least my type but even if there not I still give them a chance. And it was at the age of 15.
Reply:Well you're right about me. It was'nt until I graduated from highschool (I did'nt go to college), that I realized I could be with the average looking guy with the great personality and really be happy. I guess I started thinking more long term relationship than just who I was going to the prom with, you know? Dating for me is serious...it's the path I'm taking to find my husband. Cute faces don't last forever. Love, commitment and those good qualities, last a lifetime.
Reply:I've always looked for personality over looks, I've done so since I was like 11 or 12?





I'm STILL looking.. kind of. ;%26gt;%26gt;

Reply:After high school....most people in high school (boys %26amp; girls) are worried about peer pressure at that age and are afraid to go for the person they like if they are not the hot one for fear of ridicule from their friends (looks are so important to people at that age). Most people are mature enough after high school to go out with the person they like and not care what other people think.
Reply:Didnt read the whole thing but as soon as i was out of highschool. I knew that a pretty face and body wasnt just what had to make a relationship work. girls like real guys not big muscle macho ones. About 19, 20 somewhere in there. You getting alot of girls? I mean thats good to once finally go out with someone who likes you for you.
Reply:For me it was around age 20 after my heart had been broken by the hot guy I was with for four years. It changed me made me realize average looking guys treated me better then the hot guys I was always meeting. It was like hot guys know they have more options so that's how they treat you like your just an option. Average looking guys appreciate you more. Not to mention finding someone you can talk to and laugh with. Although with my hot guy we did have those conversations and laughed a lot so I don't think being hot means your boring and dumb.
Reply:Because they're more mature and looks isn't everything...
Reply:Ummmmm... your college must be filled with ugly chicks. It's all good though, ugly girls need loving too, imo...
Reply:I was in high school. I began to look beyond appearance and began to pay more attention to guys who paid me lots of attention and listened to me whenever I needed to talk.
Reply:I started seeing deeper into boys after i had a couple bad relationships. After you realize that just because someone is cute or fine doesnt mean they treat you right you stop caring about looks. You start looking for someone who will treat you right and make you feel special. You begin to want someone who can hold a conversation about things that involve using their brain. You begin to see past the persons face and see how wonderful they are inside and if theyre handsome...you see it as a bonus.


Im only 15 years old about to graduate high school next year and ive learned my lesson of trying to stay with boys who look a certain way. Beauty IS skin deep because thats the only place that knowledge can be stored.
Reply:When high school was over. You know too much about the guys you went to school with. It is a whole lot better to meet someone totally new. The conversation's are not the same. Some guys realize also that life is what you make of it so let's get started!!
Reply:I would have to say about senior year in High School... Im an average looking girl and I always try to find an average looking guy. Intelligent guys are always a plus!!!
Reply:When I was 19 I dated a HOT guy. He was b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l. But all he talked about was cars and clothes, and what new product he was trying out in his hair. He was good for other stuff, but otherwise I just wanted him to "shut up and look pretty". I realized as I was waiting for HIM to be ready for a date that... I needed more. A little intellectual intercourse?





I think everyone reaches a point when they realize they just need more.
