Came across the following:
Being slim is important TO me (I value being slim; I think I look better etc...)
Being slim is important FOR me/my career/my health (Being slim helps my career or improves my health)
To draw an analogy with some verbs.
Say, 'FOR' would mean an intended recipient and 'TO' an actual recipient ? Put it in abstract terms, like 'for' - ' something may or may not have actually happened but it's important for me anyway ? For 'TO" - it happened and it's important to me ( that importantance is implied more explicitly )
I'm speculating anyway. Taken out of context the difference is freaking subtle.
