Football
Rafa seems to be getting more cautious than ever - a 4-4-2 with six defenders and two holding midfielders. I know Stoke tend to drag you down to their level but not usually before the kick-off. Does he not rate Riera these days? I can't believe Bent still scored <_< I'll never buy him for Fantasy Aurelio doesn't defend well. He can whip in good crosses, played on our left wing before. As for Degen, he doesn't know how to spell defend so putting him on the right wing was about right. I think we're dragging Stoke down to our level! Riera was injured the last time I heard anything about him (start of Dec) but he's been rubbish on the left anyway.

It's not even poor anymore... it's deserved :| Arsenal haven't had Fabregas for a while so I suspect they would have dropped points (if they have dropped any) even if they had van Persie. Important as RvP is to Arsenal's attacking juggernaut, he doesn't hold a candle to Fab's influence (well...duh! ). Either way, Arsenal are giving Chelsea and the Mancs a good run for their money unlike some other teams <_<

Looks vs. Personality
You're right, personality does not stick in 100% of people. However, according to the literature, personality traits (or at least the manner in which it is conceptualised in psychology, with the 5 "core" domains being openness to experience, agreeableness, extroversion/introversion, conscientiousness and neuroticism), have been shown to be relatively stable throughout most people's lives. Although you've included a little essay there on how situations can impact on a person (which I admittedly have skimmed rather than read), you did not mention that one's outlook and personality also affect how you interpret certain situations and the manner and degree of how one changes. The relationship between personality and one's environment is more than a one-way street. I think the initial question, Looks vs Personality, is somewhat misleading (or at least the way I interpret the title of this thread); the question posed isn't an 'either-or' question. For most people, both factors contribute to how they feel about someone. For example, in the case of looks, most people are more inclined to judge attractive individuals or the people associated with them as having more positive qualities. On the flipside, finding someone you can relate with can help you overlook their flaws, sometimes to the point where the overlooking gets completely out of hand - scientists call this disease "love"
