Attraction (Poll)

Thats what I'm talking about.

 

Much is told in a glance through the eyes

Perhaps its just me, but I can in a moment tell if I'll get along with someone... and can infer well into their character. People seem to subconciously scream who they are... it seems so "normal" I'm sure its the same for everyone, whether they recognize it or not?

It may sound odd, but the first thing I see in someone is personality... is how I remember people too, less a face, more a "person".

Pointless tidbit of info

 

The telltale signs are tribal and ancient, going back tens of thousands of years when man lived in small close-knit xenophobic communities

I believe that we have all been taken in by the way people look, I call them the beautiful people, ""well I do like tite buns in 501's"" but as for attractive Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

personality totally comes before looks for me. always has. i love a good body and beautiful face just as much as anyone. but i won't waste any time on beautiful people if they aren't worth it. i come from a family of gorgeous people, from a region of people obsessed with looks. it was a complete overload and i'm not interested in looks like that.

the people i'm attracted to are typically off the beaten path. i'm lucky with my husband, he happened to be so freaking cool that his being incredibly sexy wasn't a turn off.

i've been attracted to fat nerds, skinny dorks, boney artists, people with bad skin, bad hair, penises the size of my pinky and faces like fists. i like people very much, despite my scary personality. the real gems in my life have never been just the pretty looking ones. i don't believe that being gorgeous and being awesome are mutually exclusive concepts. i just don't feel a whole lotta love for perfect people, they're like siblings at this point.

 

I could fall in love with an average looking girl. I couldn't fall in love with an average girl.

But obviously I appreciate beauty... not as much as I appreciate character.

 

nice!

 

A great personality is more important to me.

 

Well.. yeah it is a combination of looks and personality.. both are equally important to me, and both need to be great in order for me to consider a relationship where sex is gonna be involved. If one is missing out.. like.. great looks but not so great personality or great personality but looks.. ahem.. I'll be turned off. I'm extremely picky - and I don't mean you have to be a model and have this awsome, perfect personality (well perfect doesn't exist but.. let's say.. a personality like I love, one that matches my ideals.. etc) for me to wanna go out with you.. it's all a feeling thing.. someone might look great to me and not most people.. or they don't look great but they look.. right.. I don't know how to explain.

 

I'll add I've dated a lot of fuckers with shitty personalities and not-so-great looks.. but you know.. sometimes crushes are weird.. and heavy drinking makes you do things.

 

I voted for combination of both.


If a person really had great looks, it would work fine on short term, but on long term if this person's personality was awful, it would be a cause of ending such a relationship.

Naturally, attractive looks get our attention first... but intelligence, personality, behavior, all these count a lot as well.

It may happen however that a person has a really powerful personality which can make looks not so important... so I don't know... it depends on the person, really... Relying only on physical looks does not always do the trick...

 

such is the story of all my relationships. i've dated maybe 2 reasonably good looking guys in all.

i'm going to be single for a very long time, now that i've raised my standards. : P

 

I've decided not to date anyone for a while.
Celibacy rocks !

 

:worthy: Jesus, I love the way you speak/write. :worthy:

 

The way a person looks good to yourself, is pure lust. The kind of attraction that keeps you coming back forever is all from their personality. For me, the real kind of attraction that draws me in like a moth to a flame is the person behind the flesh.
