When it comes to dating and what-not, do guys prefer looks or personality? If looks, then what primarily are they interested in? If personality, then what kind of traits do they like?

Hiya,
Every guy is different, just like all girls are, and they are all looking for different things. A lot of it depends on age - most teenage guys will prefer a girl they know won't care about having such a serious relationship, but older guys might be looking for something a little more serious and/or romantic.
Guys do tend to go for looks first, but don't panic and think that you're ugly!! I'm sure you're really pretty! The best anyone can do is make the most of their best feature, smile and be confident! Looking confident really helps to draw people to you, and smiling makes you seem open and approachable.
However, although guys do tend to go for looks first, you don't have to be drop-dead-miss-world-style-gorgeous to get a date. They are gonna want someone with a decent personality (most likely someone who isn't too clingy and can make them laugh) in the long run! No-one wants to be tied down to Ms. Bitch, even if she's also Ms. Beautiful!
Blessed Be,
