1. Brains for me with my two exes, too. But, money seems to work best.
That's the way of the world, I guess.

11. Money? Me? Hah!
They didn't have any, either. That's why I agreed with the brains stuff. The rest is just speculation.

4. Irresistable?


I would have to say the knowledge that the other person is way out of your league makes them irresistable.

6. intelligence, sense of humor, passionate about, well, something...
looks are in there too, but not as important. It's all about the mind! Irresistable to me is someone you want to talk to for hours on end...

12. Intelligence, confidence....
and a cool exterior that begs for one to discover just how hot they really are underneath it all.

That's my husband to a T. One of those "still waters run deep" types.

15. Intellegence....
sense of humor (must be slightly askew), and progressive. Good manners help, having a job is a big plus. I'm very demanding, aren't I? :silly:

Edited on Thu Mar-18-04 06:23 PM by VelmaD
made me laugh. I'm talking pee-your-pants, hyperventilating funny. Sometimes silly and sometimes sarcastic, but just a laugh riot. He was also incredibly passionate about life. That's always an attractive quality. You can't help but wonder what it would be like to have all that energy focused on you. :)

He also had really warm hands. :)

23. Their looks, hands-down.
At least that's the first thing that makes a person irresistable. Then once I get to know a woman, then it's similar interests, brains, etc.

25. An indefinable something...
call it chemistry, call it a spark, call it whatever you like. I almost always find it in intelligent, witty, darkly twisted men. Nummy.

33. I know it when I see it...
But it's hard to define. Looks of course are important (to me at least). I like small to medium sized breasts and a cute little butt - the latter is very important. I also tend to like a prominent proboscis - very sexy to me.

But it's more than looks. There has to be something unusual about the gal. She's never the real popular one, and might be a bit reserved and/or wear glasses. One thing that always gets my attention: when I see a girl dancing, I mean really dancing, by herself at a concert or show. I do that and it makes me feel like I may have something in common with her. Oh yeah, she also must have a clue...

And sadly, politics. I can't separate the person from their stand on important issues. I wouldn't date a republican if my life depended on it (and it just may, some day). Even more sadly - I live in the south, where even the Democrats are conservative. Help!

38. High intelligence and understated, well-timed humor together with
wicked glints in the eyes.

The wicked glints must be there, or no deal!

41. Intelligence is a big factor, but it's more
I tend on a superficial basis to prefer tall men and dated a number of them before my husband (who's of average height, so it's not a requirement or anything). Right now, I prefer slightly older (35-45) as well because I've lived enough that I would have little in common with most men my age. I like men who have a good balance of being open-minded when it comes to matters of intimacy, but still monogamous within relationships. I like men who are confident enough to not be threatened by who I am or what I need and can appreciate a woman who is strong, somewhat dominant in personality, yet very soft, emotional, and nurturing at the same time.

Certain things are non-negotiable such as intelligence and politically left of center. It's pretty rare I find that I click with anyone just right actually and it's hard to explain why I have when I did.

43. Ladylike and Strength
I guess everyone likes the ol' "humor-honesty-intelligence" quotient, but I've added some new ones over the years to my "MyGoshWillYouLookAtHer!!??"" list...

I want to her act like a Lady and act Strong. Seems like you can find one or the other pretty easy these days, but both? Wow! I'd like that :)

44. Intelligence, wit, silliness, nice skin and a fresh soapy scent helps, too
Physically, I am drawn to a pretty face, but not to any specific body type. (Years ago, during the same summer, I dated a girl who was 4' 10", and one who was 5' 11').

My one serious, knee-buckling weakness seems to be dark-haired, light-eyed women -- both my first and second wife fit this description.

Think Isabelle Adjani...

46. Intelligence
Is always a turn on. Someone with a great sense of humor is great too. I like a guy about the same height as me. And while there are these certain things I like in a gentleman, it seems like if the chemical attraction isn't there, it probably will not work. Oh yes, he also has to 'smell' right too! That may go along with the chemical attraction thing. <wink>
