In today's world people more often give importance to outer appearance rather then inner appearance. Outer appearance can include all things such as the way of dressing, looks, etiquette, power, position, etc. and Inner appearance can include good nature, down to earth attitude, Kind heart, helpful nature etc.. We all have read these sayings "Judge a man by his shoes" and " Never judge a book by its cover" and "Judge a man by his work and not his position".

So what you all think what is more important the Outer appearance or Inner appearance?
 
In today's so called "show off world" ...more importance is given to Outer one rather than looking at the Inner qualities of a person....I think Inner is more important but along with coordination of Outer appearance..
 
well everyone knows that a person should be more beautiful from heart rather than from outside...but still we give a lot of importance to outside beauty... this is because the first view of the person is the outer one...gradually as we get to know the person...we come to know about his inner self...

but personally...i think inner beauty matters a lot..be it a love relationship...friendship..alliance ..partnership..anything..
 
I have very little 'inner beauty'. So I'm left trying to make the best of a rather flattering exterior.

good one shailee:) so frank to say this..lol

Well I'm of an opinion outer and inner appearances both to make a complete personality.

As for me I never judge people on appearance. I try to learn the person from within. And if it is fine inside externally it will seems to me attractive too.
 
Good appearance is a qualifier - i.e. one does not really want a very much stunning appearance - just enough to say, fit in job/situation etc. is required. It's inner one which matters afterwards.
But yes, as usual, there's definitely a glut in the market of the beautiful-inner ones...so extra marks could definitely earned by keeping your outer-self as good as possible.
 
I forgot to write my Opinion. I feel that Inner qualities or appearance is more important then outer one coz outer appearance will get changed or spoiled after young age. It is the inner qualities which stays for lifetime but the outer appearance keeps changing. And also Most of Great and Successful People like Gandhiji, Abdul kalam, etc. were and are also of the same view " SIMPLE LIVING, HIGH THINKING".
 
though inner quality is the most important factor in a persons character, external appearance adds to it. It is not necessarily a person need to be as goodloooking or handsome like bollywood actors/actresses, but they atleast can be smart and neat in their external appearance and that is the key..!!:nerd:

Inner appearance is no doubt very important. I think inner beauty counts for all virtues like kindness, helpfulness, loyalty, trustworthiness, etc. Thus, inner beauty counts for a long & healthy relationship provided
other person also have similar qualities.

At the time when we say inner appearance is important, it will not be fair enough to say that outward appearance is not important.
Outward appearance depicts our overall personality. Looking good, wearing tidy clothes, well combed [not necessarily wearing a Rayban gogs or an omega wrist watch] everything that we wear or do adds to our style or body language.
Remember, people look our outward appearance first and then inner. Example - During interviews, first thing a person notice is our body language and style.

Thus, both inner & outward appearance is important. However our outward appearance depends on our inward apperance.
 
Outer and Inner Experience
In today's world i think very less people are concerned about the inner appearance of a person and we all face that in our daily life from a faculty to a friends and even sometime parents everyone want a person to be good looking and have good outer appearance. We see that the person with a good inner experience mostly don't gel with all as not everybody want to remain with them specially the people having good outer appearance . Due to the issue of inner and outer appearance sometime a guy/gal has to listen some bitter words from their parents also. In colleges also most of the students are concerned about each other's outer appearance rather than knowing the inner qualities of them but they should understand that ALL GLITTERS ARE NOT GOLD so they must see the inner qualities of that person too. The debate on outer-inner sense is not that much easy and we cannot solve it just by discussing it.
To change this mindset we have to change ourselves our mindsets regarding all other people who are having good inner appearance. I have seen that in colleges, society and all other place a person who is good looking only get importance and there is very less preference and importance given to a person with a good nature and thoughts.
 
There is a say that the face depicts the beauty of the heart. The inner appearance can not be seen but can be felt with a good bit of understanding a person, whereas what we see instantly and create a first mental impression is the outer appearance. Once the outer appearance is not impressive (I don't mean good looks or beauty, but certainly the dressing up sense and basic hygine) there is no point in talking or exploring about the inner appearance.In brief the external appearance does the marketing part of one's personality whereas the inner appearance depicts the quality to the product.

Well, it's a fast world...no1 has the time to get to know the inner self. Not many a times will you get the chance to know the other person's inner appearance.

"Never judge a book by its cover" is true and so is "first impression is the last impression".
:P
 
i think inner beuty is more important when judging any one if we want to have a long relationship beacause its his or her innner qualities like helpful nature n understanding that will go in long run a person with inner beuty also tends to have external beauty . so in my opinion inner beuty matters more then external u cant judge anyone from externally its good for modelling but when comes to real life its inner appearance. we cant share our ideas with a person who is externally beautiful n internally have no consideration
