"A woman's appearance/beauty compared to personality"?
I'm not going to let a big fat, fatty sit on my face no matter how nice her personality is.
If a guy only dates hotties and suddenly brings home a hound dog his friends and family are going to wonder if he lost a bet or something.
"Beauty is a bikini wax and waiting for your nails to dry
Beauty is a colored pencil, scribbled all around your eye
Beauty is a pair of shoes that makes you wanna die
Beauty is a Lie"

Is your roommate's name Brie by any chance? Oh wait, she can kick your ass on the track, too.
Luckily for the deceased he never ever had to worry about beauty.
Although his daughter, Moonpill or something ,I wouldn't mind putiing in my fave 5.
I have found that there is an inverse relationship between looks and skills in bed. The hotter the girl is, the more likely she is a starfish.
Agree? If so, why is this the case? I have my own thoughts, but I'd like to hear other possible explanations.
(This theory, it should be noted, does not hold below girls who are below 5 or 6 on the ten point scale. That is, ugly girls are not usually excellent in bed either.)

How important is a woman's appearance/beauty compared to personality and other factors. It constantly bothers me that i'm simply of "average" beauty and it kills me that my roommate can roll out of bed looking prettier than i'll ever be.

this is coming from a guy more sensitive than most, so take it for what it is. but it COMPLETELY depends on the guy. obviously the average view of men is that they are all shallow hornballs looking some girl with huge tits and no brain. this is certainly not true for everyone.
personally, physical attraction is not nearly as important as personality, but that said, i wouldn't marry or date someone who i didn't find attractive. i would say, similar to the first person who responded, i would date someone who is comparatively less attractive without any problem (that sounds terribly conceited).
and dont worry if your roommate is hotter, you sound thoughtful and that counts for more than you think.

Keep telling yourself that.
What does it matter?
When they are 40 they all look like your mother - 250, 5'2" and no makeup.
If that's really you, you've got a tight body. That's what does it for me. She can have an "average" face, but as long as her tummy and rear end are firmed up, I'm good with it.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I usually give average looking women with above average "skills" the nod over beauty queens.
Give me a chick who ain't afraid to get down and dirty with average looks over a prissy my shit don't stink bitch!

Im to the point in my life, where after having dated/hooked up/dealt with a number of pretty darn "hot" chicks, that when I see a really hot chick I find them sort of grotesque. My wang may still stir a little ,but I know what a holy hell of a nightmare she probably is. Insane, self-centered, neurotic, cripplingly vain., probably hasnt had a BM in 8 days cause her diet for the last 2 years has been EXlAX smoothies, ciggarettes, tic-tacs and a teaspoon of cheezewizz. Thats basically what flashes through my head.
Anyway, I find an "average" looking gal with a nice body, and a dash of nympho, irresistable.
Take care of yourself and do what comes naturally. If youre running, your ahead of the game.

For me, it's very important only where weight is concerned. I have very low standards when it comes to beauty, how pretty their face is, etc. I don't care if they have big boobs or not. But I could never be attracted to an overweight woman.
I'm not pretty, only average. I'd give myself a 5. However running kept my body looking good, I was always careful with hair and makeup, tried to dress well, and developed humor, personality, and common sense. I married a very handsome man. I know that people wonder how I got him because he is much more handsome than I am pretty. But he was mature enough to appreciate what I had. He had dated his share of hotties who thought that their beauty was all that was needed. Look for a guy who has grown up a bit and has had his share of hot babes. He'll be looking for more and you'll have it.

For me it's pretty much a pass/fail or "threshold level" type of thing. In other words, either a woman IS attractive enough for me to become serious attracted to/fall in love with, or she ISN'T. If she IS, other things come into play. If she ISN'T, no amount of intelligence, kindness, wit, etc. will matter.
The prettiest girls are all fcking psychotic.
A 6.5/10 or better with a great personality and some brains is better than a 10/10 moron with the maturity of a junior high cheerleader.
Beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder.
So far as I've seen, it becomes a war of attrition. I wasn't the hottest girl in my class in high school when almost everyone was thin, tanned, and many girls had more curves and bigger boobs than I did. The older I get, the more I see fat women with lizard skin who are the same age as I am, and who look suspiciously like former hot chicks.

If a guy is 16 years old, beauty is just about everything. If a guy stays at that mental age, so does his impression of the importance of beauty.
Most guys, however, learn that a girl who has been given way too much attention because of her beauty has (usually) learned to be viciously manipulative and more than a little shallow. We create these monsters by making beauty the sole criterion of our attention for a few short years--which corresponds, by the way, to about how long the beauty lasts (take Brittney Spears as Exhibit A). Way too many girls who are nicely rounded at high school graduation are rather paunchy at 22.
A "plain jane" will lose out, at least occasionally, to more beautiful women in the gene pool, but realize that they're hooking up with males suffering from arrested development.
