Do we become less superficial as we age?

I was talking with a male coworker who told me his theory that all a guy in his 30s needs to do to attract a woman is to be nice and funny.

Honestly, I've never been into really hot guys or overly concerned with the way a guy looks.
For each person, superficial is different. For me it would be to go after someone just for looks. Which is not the case. I am only into men who meet my definition of hot. I am not attracted to men who are by my definition ugly. They have no chance with me. Women are just as visual as men. Sometimes women overlook a mans appearance if he has a lot of money(Donald trump, Hugh Hefner). I would not go out with an ugly older man if they paid me too! Life is too short to settle for someone who you are not sexually attracted to.

Um, I think so.
When we are young we have few responsibilities and our life ahead of seems full of promise.
It seems like you figured things out before I did.
Through experience or other ways, some probably learn that looks mean nothing, but then they still think money matters, or being a certain race matters, or having a certain level of education matters. So yes, people may become less superficial, but they still are in some ways.
As for a great personality, I've been suckered in by it and I've realised, in the last year or so, that there are people in the world who draw people in because of their great personalities, but they lack character and they cannot be trusted. That's what I'm looking at now. It's great to be funny and charming, but if they can't back it up with character, I'm not interested.

I think part of "figuring it out" for me has been that I've never felt all that attractive, yet I know I am a great person and have a good personality, so I want to see the same in others.
