Looks play a part to a certain extent. If someone is completely unattractive to you (either via looks or in the way they take care of themselves), you are unlikely to get beyond that. I appreciate beauty just like anyone else, but there are girls my wife will say are beautiful in their features (but I don't find attractive) but who don't carry themselves well. On the other hand, I'll point out someone on the street that I think is attractive, and she can't believe that I would find that person attractive. I appreciate a certain confidence about a girl. I like someone who will look me in the eye and smile. I was in Austin a few weeks ago, and I was walking down the street. I have recently lost 45 lbs and am close to weighing what I did in college. I'm feeling more confident and carry myself better since I feel better. I was walking down the street, and this girl gave me a very direct look and smiled as I passed her. This hasn't happened in a while (or if it has I haven't noticed it). My wife will tell you that I'm a self-confident guy when it comes to my professional standing, but I had issues with my weight (which I have taken care of).
What I'm trying to say is that personality is many times reflected in a person's demeanor, and I find that so much more attractive than straight looks.
