1. [+971, -20] That's funny ㅋㅋㅋ because we all know everyone looks at wealth first

2. [+626, -12] As if it's personality. Who would actually believe that? For men, it's #1 looks, for women, it's #1 wealth or job. Those are the unchanging #1 traits.

3. [+220, -11] How can you truly know someone's personality without living with them first ㅜㅜ I'm someone who married for personality and ended up being tricked by their true colors

4. [+157, -8] It's money. Nowadays, no one wants to get married or have kids because of money.

5. [+106, -2] This is a pointless survey because everyone is hiding their true feelings. Everyone looks at jobs, looks, wealth, and education first.

6. [+86, -1] It's always the wealthier who have more easygoing personalities... the chaebols who get into scandals are the few minorities. Most of the well-educated and wealthy are decent people... On the other hand, the pains of poverty can ruin even the kindest person into the most destructive. 

7. [+35, -2] As I live on in life, I've realized how important personality really is, though

8. [+31, -1] Honestly, as long as someone's decent looking, all that matters is that your personality matches up. It can make up for a lack of economic ability. It's not like we're living in an age where people are starving to death still. Just work hard, make what you need, and you can live a happy life. You can be poor but happy if you're with someone you love, but you definitely won't be able to stand life no matter how rich you are if it's with someone whose personality you can't stand.

9. [+31, -1] I've found that people with nasty personalities aren't livable. I don't care about their looks or wealth, it's all useless if they're terrible people. It's a hell to escape from.

10. [+31, -2] Just observe their parents. Sons take after their fathers 99% of the time. If their fathers are cheating, lazy, selfish people, they will learn from that... so look at their families.

11. [+29, -0] Personality is a hard measure because people can hide their true colors until they get married, which is how a lot of divorces end up happening

12. [+23, -1] I've found in life that those who are wealthy usually have good personalities too;;;;;;

13. [+21, -0] You're never going to be a perfect match personality wise with anyone anyway, and it's having extra money that can make up for the frustrations and fights

14. [+22, -2] What a joke, we all know it's looks or wealth. People just don't want to seem like a gold digger so they're lying on these polls ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

15. [+13, -1] Someone's wealth can make their face look beautiful and their personality feel amiable
