Why were you attracted to the last person you were attracted to?

[NaMeaHou]

Strong minded?

Physically impressive?

Mentally astute?

Likes cartoons?

Why?

[Don_G]

1. She's A Nice Person

Being cute dosen't hurt either.

[Mysterio]

2. because...

she was hot. :)

[TheReligiousLeft]

3. She was compassionate.

No text.

[Blue-Jay]

4. She could sing beautifully.

And she had big boobies. But mostly because of her voice.

[KG]

5. bodacious ta-ta's

:)

[THUNDER HANDS]

6. she had an opinon on life

and I find a woman with strong opinions sexy as hell. Sexier than any physical attribute.

Oh, and she was pretty funny too. A sense of humor will also drive a guy crazy.

And she was blonde. I had never dated a blonde before.

:)

[GOPisEvil]

7. She was pretty, sweet, and had a good sense of humor.

All that and she had the prettiest smile I've ever seen. :-)

[onebigbadwulf]

8. Kind, likes video games, and had the ability to program

Killer combination.

[BiggJawn]

9. Pretty hair, cute smile, nice, round butt...

Too bad I'm already taken, eh?

I'm a sucker for butts....

[tjdee]

10. Well, my movie star boyfriend has the most intoxicating voice ever....

As you all may or may not know, I am cheating on Adrien Brody with Cillian Murphy, who has a voice much lower than his physical features would suggest--very surprising. Plus, he's Irish. Plus, he seems very calm and grounded. Okay, enough about that.

Um, as to real people that I actually know....well. The last guy I was attracted to had a very elegant carriage about him that is difficult to explain. He also had a great sense of humor and a nice smile. I find men don't smile as much as they could.

[THUNDER HANDS]

11. why are only men replying to this?

Do women not remember why they hooked up with their men?

[tjdee]

14. I'm a girl! I'm a girl!

That's what my birth certificate says... :-)

[Elidor]

12. Everything that's been posted so far

Posts 1-7 describe my lover to a T. And she's a great dancer, has a lovely laugh, loves to play pool and make love (not necessarily at the same time and certainly not in that order). Damn, I'm lucky.

[Mysterio]

13. hey man..

can you hook me up with a girl like that??? I'm currently single...

[Lydia Leftcoast]

15. He was

bright, verbally witty, had wicked glints in his eyes, and no wedding ring. But it was look, don't touch, since he was, after all, married with two children.

[VOX]

16. She was smart as a whip, friendly, athletic, and wore those damn glasses!

I'm a sucker for those Tina Fey glasses. (How long before slinkerwink catches on?)

But I'm married, my wife is beautiful, intelligent, funny as hell, creative, tall, terrific figure...I'd be insane to stray, and I'm too happy!

:toast:

[populistmom]

17. Let's see

I've had an attraction to someone recently, but yes, I'm still faithful despite that attraction. I'm attracted to him for a lot of reasons:

he's funny
he's so mentally quick (I don't have to explain things)
he's tall (my shallow preference)
sexy, yet respectful to women as humans too
a shared sense of mutual understanding about our lives
and more

Now, a word to all you men who like boobies out there. For those of us who nature has chosen to endow with extra tissue in our mammary glands, we appreciate your admiration. (For example, I fully realize a "leg man" would not be into my short, stubby gams.) However, please remember we are more than just boobies. When I was younger, I had a lot of males initially interested in me only for that reason. They didn't get them when that was the case however.

[sweetladybug]

20. I was 1st attractive to my sweetheart's deep set blue eyes

and he was tall, slender, had light brown hair(with streak of sunbleached blonde hair in the very front of his hair), he was laid back and kind of quiet, but he had a good sense of humor, he was smart and he had such compassion for animals and children (when I saw this compassion in him I knew he had a good heart). He was a real sweetheart and he still is, that's why I married him 33 yrs ago last month.

[neuvocat]

18. Because I had no self-esteem.

:evilgrin:

[Ramsey]

19. Because he is brilliant

And really really really gorgeous. And incredbily talented, if a little quirky. And a bit of a bad boy turned Zen. In other words, the perfect man. Except, he's a bit unreliable. That's a big downside.

[KC]

21. He was

and still is, just a super nice guy with a sense of humor, so much wisdom and a kind heart.

And I miss him :(

KC

[Catfish]

22. I had to say no for now but I was tempted

He is intelligent, makes me laugh, is irreverent, has energy and seems interested in everything and seems excited about small pleasures. It doesn't hurt that he has soft brown eyes and a goofy smile. I'm not in a position to date right now, not sure he'll be around when I am. Still, it's great to have met someone so appealing.

[Kat45]

23. He has a beautiful smile.

That was the first thing I noticed. He's also kind, a good person, and I later found out, very sexual.

[slinkerwink]

24. well, michelle was my friend....

she had a beautiful smile, blushed very hard when I'd make her laugh, and she was so tender. I fell in love with her and when I told her that I was attracted to her, she said that she couldn't sexualize me because she didn't want to lose any friends. Her ex-gf was one of her friends and michelle had felt forced into the relationship. I could understand that, but it still sucks being rejected.

[Insider]

25. strong, heroic

police officer. and that first hug at the airport was most perfect.

sigh

[Skittles]

26. I don't have a f***ing clue

I wish someone would f***ing tell me.

[Capn Sunshine]

28. I would Skittles

BUT I'D HAVE TO KICK YOUR ASS!!!!!!
:loveya:

[Leftist78]

27. I was having a "penis" moment

She was VERY hot. she could have had half the IQ of * and I'd have still been all over her. I was being bad

[SOteric]

29. Keen intellect, extraordinary wit, a British accent, dark sense of humour

emotional depth and sensitivity, a well-evolved character, hot and tireless in bed, a generous nature and smells nice.

[GOPisEvil]

31. You are two very fortunate people.

And, you're both so damned cute when you get all lovey. :-)

[Madrone]

30. I'd come home from work and he'd have

Let himself in, cleaned my whole house, taken care of the animals AND had dinner ready and waiting for me - and serve me on the couch. Then, he'd go do the dishes and clean up the kitchen.

Huzzah!

[kimchi]

32. A joy for life, and great sense of humor.

I was immediately attracted to my present husband although it surprised me because he isn't someone I'd normally look at twice, or want to hang out with.

He laughed when he shook my hand as though he saw the beauty in me, and in life. When, during a company dinner a few days later he said "I just don't understand why people kill each other over what God's name is", I knew I was going to marry him!

[bleedingheart]

33. He looked like Daniel Day Lewis

he was an engineer like me...
He likes music, art and politics...and he is of course a liberal.

so I tagged him and married him!

I love tall dark men with dark eyes and hairy chests...got everything I wished for!

[supernova]

34. Seemed funny and interesting

as well as good looking. He was also a good dancer and great at sex.

But I learned that at 44, he was as shallow as an 17 year old. :-(

[Hell Hath No Fury]

35. Gentle, twinkly eyes...

are what did it for me.

I tend to really examine eyes and see who's peeking out from being them.

[scarlet_owl]

36. Wow! I was attracted to my husband right off the bat.

We were going on a blind date, and when I saw him, I was taken aback. He was tall and had sexy long hair and was wearing a long leather jacket. He had a goatee and was holding a rose for me. He never learned to drive, so he had to walk three miles to and from the nearest florist just to get it for me. On the way back, it broke, so he taped it up. I thought that was the sweetest gesture ever. I also fell in love with his nerdiness and sensitivity. And I'm still in love all these years later.

[bleedingheart]

37. that's just too cool...

[BritishHuman]

38. Initial attraction?

Smart, kind, well-considered opinions on a wide range of subjects, and a wicked sense of humour.

Then I found out how good-looking she was, too. :-)

[TrogL]

39. Figure like a greek god

Hung like a horse
Highly articulate
Twink

[VelmaD]

40. There are a couple recently...

one had lovely warm hands and a great smile. He's passionate and funny and sang bad Led Zeppelin at me to make me laugh.

The other is more intense and a little darker. Whippet thin. Funny and sarcastic and the best flirt I think I've ever met.

I guess the common denominator there is sense of humor. Love a man who can make me laugh.

[CandyCrim21]

41. Hmm

I havent really thought about that in a while but since you asked. I guess it would be alot of things. He has a great sence of humor, we have some stuff in common, we both dig Kevin Smith movies and he introduced me to MST3K. He is good looking and intelligent. He opened my eyes to alot of things that I never really thought twice about before. We have our own little jokes between us that no body else knows so we can jack around with as many people as we want just by looking at each other and people have no idea whats going on. Its a long list I guess but honestly I guess the first thing that ever attracted me to this person was his eyes. I have a thing with eyes. His arent' really green or blue, sometimes they look grey. They're just bad ass. The first thing that ever made me notice him would be that feature.

[CanuckAmok]

42. Because she was on "60 Minutes"...

exposing the secrets of Skull and Bones while wearing a tight black lace top, a visible push-up bra, and too much eyeliner.

What else do I need?

[Booberdawg]

43. Personality and similar interests

I think my spring fever and his looking pretty good in shorts helped it along at the time too. :D The air conditioning was on the fritz at work and we had Hawaiian day to get a break from the heat.

Off the top of my head, I don't think I've ever been physically attracted to anyone just by looking at their body alone. There's gotta be some personality trait or positive character traits to go with it for me.

My dad made the observation years ago that every guy I dated was quite a bit taller than me. Although, my son's father was just an inch taller. I prefer clean shaven but it's not a deal breaker if mustache or beard is well groomed.

[Zolok]

44. She was kind...

and empathetic also funny.
Her idea of proper attire for moving furniture across town was a sleeveless pale green mini dress and low heels...
She dumped me for a lot of silly reasons...but dump me she did.

[qb]

45. She asked ME out.

She's an atheist and is beautiful.

[regularguy]

46. Nice Smile. Nice Bod. Liberal. Smart.

AND: willing to have sex with me. :)

[bratcatinok]

47. He was

the Maytag repairman and he was repairing my refrigerator. He called me over to the fridge to show me something about the temp control button. I noticed he was standing a little close to me and when I turned around there was the instant chemistry with the eye to eye contact.

As he was leaving, he asked me if I liked Chinese food and I told him I did. I didn't hear from him or see him for 3 months until one evening he showed up on my doorstep. That night we went to the local Indian casino and stayed til 4:00am. We've been together ever since (will be 2 years 11/7)and became engaged Labor Day.

Blue eyes, cleft chin, beautiful silvered brown hair, a wonderful body from throwing all of those appliances around and he can fix anything, great sense of humour and he's my best friend. What more could one want?

[LWolf]

48. I don't know.

It was a little kid thing. I was 10.

After 15 years or so of no contact and adult relationships, when we met again it was still there.

I haven't been attracted to anyone since.

[maxanne]

49. he was smart

and wickedly funny. He was also incredibly kind in a very low key way. We had a mutual friend in the hospital, who was having a bone marrow transplant. He visited her every night - never said much, but he was always there.

He cried at her funeral.

He brought me a dozen long stem roses for Valentine's Day. He never interfered with my work or activism. He used to call me to read me stories he read in the newspaper that he thought I'd be interested in.

He drove 3 hours to see me on Christmas Eve - and drove back the next morning.

I will always miss him.

[Throckmorton]

50. Brain to die for,

plus, he had the cutest little college age package.

[skypilot]

51. His name was Chris...

...and he had the most intoxicating smell. He also had the most beautiful, long-lashed brown eyes and a warm smile. But it was the smell of him that damn near drove me over the edge. It was just his natural body smell, just the smell of skin with the slightest hint of sweat and soap. He turned out to be a cokehead, a pathological liar, and a sociopath, but I swear to God it took all my will power to keep those facts in the front of my mind when I got a good whiff of him. I managed to break the spell after two months.

[Chovexani]

52. Hair! Long, beautiful hair!

And the finest ass in all of creation. Not to mention his accent--I have a "thing" for accents, and Aussie ones are the sexiest IMO. :evilgrin:

That was what attracted me at first. I stayed for his brain and wicked sense of humor. He also has a wonderful imagination, and no qualms about letting me dress him up like pretty boy anime characters and dragging him to conventions. :P We've been together for about 5 years now.

[tjdee]

56. ACCENTS! I feel so dirty!

I've fallen in love/like with a number of my fine American brethren, but lord--hit me with a non-American accent and I turn instantly stupid. It's like they're conjuring spells or something, the first impression they have on me. It does wear off if the guy's a jerk, or boring, etc., but I have a too have a thing for accents. Is that so wrong? I feel kind of wrong, LOL.

[curse10]

53. Smart, funny, liberal, and atheist

the perfect combo

[mac56]

54. At first meeting, her eyes.

Eventually, her wisdom and her sense of humor.

[qwertyMike]

55. Two words

legs
