At first physically, strong jaw and hands. Need to see some calouses. Let's me know they use them. Hate it when a guy spends more on a manicure then me! After that, be strait up. Don't represent your one thing and be another. The rest falls into place. Peace.
With me at first it's physical (overall package, no one thing) then it turns to mental/emotional and spiritual and of course common interests. You need all those connections for a long term relationship.
I'd much rather be with someone that's cute with an imaginative mind instead of some brainless emotionally high maintenace Barbie Doll. Of course she's got to be a freak in the bed too. Hehehe
for me its the sound of his laugh...the kind you can hear across the room and you find yourself smiling because his laugh is so real...a good laugh equals a good soul.......
The windows to the soul; twinklin' deep eyes.
The wide, free smile.
Large gentle hands,
Broad shoulders,
Them strapping, sturdy long legs,
and a deep steady voice.
Oh, Baby, come on home... now!!!
A brain, honesty, and a guy that can make ya laugh has got to be in there as well.
Strickly as an ATTRACTION:
The FIRST thing that catches my eye.... a tall guy with long hair....if he has a warm smile, my heart does flip flops. A deep voice & the smell of good cologne....and I'm weak in the knees..lol
What attracts me is the person inside. Because when a good person smiles, what shines through is worth more than gold or a model-like figure or face. Being an artist I look beyond the physical. Does not mean I don't look but that is not my priority in finding the person I want to share my life with, whether they be a friend or a soulmate. There has to be communication, trust. honesty, loyalty and love. Everything else can be worked out. Maybe I am too unrealistic but that is the way I feel.
Sometimes it is the entire person, others specific things.
I once met a woman in the grocery store in the checkout counter; big brown eyes sparkled, most beautiful smile and long dark hair I I had ever seen; never got below her smile!
Hmmmm, well I answered this once and it went up in bk smoke????? I will try it again. I totally agree with you. The eyes and smile first. The eyes are the mirror image of the soul they say and eyes don't lie. If his eyes light up when our eyes first meet and he gives me that big flash of a grin, he'll melt my heart.
Wow, I can't say that there is one thing. Here are some things that have originally attracted me to a man:
His eyes
His @$$
The way he smells
His devotion to his kids
His shyness
His arrogance
The way he climbed a tree
His crude and sarcastic humor
Mostly, I think what attracts me to any one person is their ability to stand out and above the average man at a key point in time. I think that quality that sparks my attention has to happen at precisely the right time, regardless of what it is. Sometimes I may overlook a potential love interest for months until one day something just clicks and I see him completely different. But I think that's how most people are. We all need time to really see the qualities that transcend raw physical attraction. As I say on my profile: It's far easier to find someone who is aesthetically pleasing than someone with a good heart and I like a challenge.
The way they carry themselves - with confidence along w/a slight swagger..ooo that'll get me and then if they flash an awarding winning smile...ooo my.
