What Attracts You First? Poll #2 for Men Only

[Calidore]

Okay, guys, here's your poll. Items were collected from this thread:

http://www.online-literature.com/for...ad.php?t=69660

Physical attributes make up the top half, and intangibles are the second half. Pick the ones that make your eyes wander and posture improve (as opposed to "well, that's nice"), and be truthful--honest results mean a more honest and interesting discussion in the thread. And if you don't see what you like here, you shoulda spoken up in the thread.

And of course, thanks to Cacian for starting the thread in the first place, without whom etc.

Enjoy, and discuss!

I had to vote for both because they go hand-in-hand

I like a shapely rump and someone I can tip the bottle with.
There was a building contractor I worked with a couple of years, that was often heard saying: "I want a rump (he used the "a" word) tight enough to bounce a quarter off of",
While I'm not quite so crass, I understood where he was coming from.

Canova too, must have been an admirier of "baby's got back"

Oh... most certainly. Steve Martin... who is quite the art collector an connoisseur... wrote an essay in which he points out the fact that Canova's Three Graces have long been admired as examples of the three finest a**es in the history of art:



Of course Bernini was no slouch:

Having said that, I should admit that there is much to say for a beautiful face. My brother will never let me forget an incident that occurred when I was a horny 20-something. Driving on the interstate, I was passed by a red convertible Mustang with license plates that read, "MS PINTO". The driver had long, flowing blonde hair... and I could not help wanting to see just who this Miss Pinto was. I stepped on the gas... and she accelerated as well. Finally I caught up with her as she exited the highway... at the same exit as I was headed to. I pulled alongside of her and looked over in anticipation...

and this is not far from what greeted me:

































My brother screamed with laughter, let out a whinny, and asked, "You sure you still wanna ride Ms. Pinto?" He then started singing the theme song from the old television show, Mr. Ed:

Oh you guys are just conning yourselves now! you say you like a nice body but really you'll take the girl who can cook a dish that agrees with your picky digestive system and will keep house for you and what you spawn while you wave it round with other women. Us nice girls always lose out!

sorry, couldn't resist it

Shame we don't have "good cook" or "compliant" or "subservient" in the poll.

Wait, is this a poll for what attracts us in women or what qualities look good on the cv of the maid you are thinking of hiring?

Didn't realise there was a difference.

[stlukesguild]

Hmmm... now who's playing to the stereotypes?

[Darcy88]

I picked chemistry. That's what it all really comes down to in my opinion. Doesn't really matter what the girl is like, as long as there is chemistry, as long as the relationship is overall positive, healthy, mutually beneficial.....you know you're found someone special, someone right.

I just realized that the poll reads "what attracts you FIRST." In that case I guess I would pick nerdiness or craziness. I'm such a nerd and act so crazy I can only be comfortable and myself around someone who is as nerdy and as crazy or as tolerant of nerdiness and craziness as I am. And I find that the people who are most tolerant of nerdiness and craziness are those who themselves are big nerds or have a character that has been or is often deemed "crazy."

Like glasses....I've said this before on these forums....glasses are like lingerie to me. And I think lots of women know that many men feel the same way because they sell glasses that are just glasses....do not enhance one's ability to see, and are really just a fashion accessory.

So yeah, nerdiness and craziness. Nothing turns me on more. And you can tell right away how nerdy and crazy a woman is. You can tell by the way she looks, acts, speaks. Its obvious. The best way to determine how big a nerd or how crazy someone is is to simply say something really nerdy or really crazy and judge their reaction to it. If they react positively you know you've come across someone who is interesting.....artistic...accepting. I suppose acceptance really is the main thing. You need to find someone who accepts you for who you are - the good the bad and the ugly. All of you. Such a person is hard to find and even harder to keep - one of the great facts of life.

Well I think we are seeing a bit more realism on the men's poll here, with 'face as a whole' (what I voted for), 'breasts' and 'build' so far coming top, none of the 'nice to kittens like' business over on the other poll. It is true that other things come after the initial attraction phrase, such as personality and ability to pick up socks etc, etc, but certainly I am attracted to a face/overall appearance first.

I only really noticed how attractive that Kate Middleton woman is the other day as I was watching the tennis. I'm not hung up on her but she is the sort I would find attractive. Of course, if the women's poll is to be believed (which it is not) I could crank up the humour, give her a bright smile and let me cool green eyes shine and I am sure that would easily beat the competition. I could easily beat the status of the future King of England no problem I'm sure.

I wonder if the Duchess of Cambridge is any good at picking up socks. I imagine that if Willy went about dropping socks around Kensington Palace, there would be a flunky appropriately positioned to collect them.

I think there's a big difference between what attracts me first and what I first notice about a woman.

Nice liegs always catch my attention but the eyes are the the first point of attraction.
