    What Attracts You First? Poll #1 for Women Only

    Okay, ladies, 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 heart flutter (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!

    Just spitballing, imo, I think this thread should be "what attracts you to a man" and the other should be "what attracts you to a woman," since there are quite a few male litnetters who are attracted to males, and quite a few female litnetters who are attracted to females. The way it is now, we'll get a bunch of answers on this thread for what a woman likes in either a male or a female or both, and a bunch in the other for what a man likes in either a male or a female or both. That's obviously confusing, because it's like one poll asking you to list all of the adjectives that describe what you love about strawberry shortcake and what you love about steak dinner, all at once.

    I don't really see why there have to be two different polls, really. I think both have the same options. Maybe just make one and have the voting public, so we can see the who voted what, and hence the potential difference in male/female viewpoint. Also spitballing.

    Thank you very much for taking the time to combing through all the replies to combine this list and setting up the polls, Calidore.

    I think it is a great idea to have separate polls for men and women. It is not about whom you are attracted to but who you are. If you are a woman, regardless of the gender of the person(s) you are attracted to, just tick all the options that fits you.

    Also, having identities hidden encourages honesty so I think it is a good call.

    Well some women are or is it the reported £2.5 billion he is reputed to be worth?

    I hardly knew what to choose, and ended up clicking a lot of boxes, including build, height, body, face, voice, kindness, humour, innocence, chemistry etc.

    Already answered this, but will do it again, since it is a new thread and the discussion is taking place here. Humor, kindness, scent, easygoing. Before I was married, I seldom cared what the guy looked like, I just wanted to be treated well. Ugly didn't bother me, jerks did. LOL!

    Kindness, innocence, honesty and simplicity
    Modesty too.

    However for some reason I have always found the only people who are attracted to me happen to be real jerks who do not possess any of the attributes mentioned above. Maybe I am just not good enough for the good guys out there! (but well that's another topic for discussion).

    Kindness and tolerance for each others quirks are some of the most important things. Also similar interests, humor and likely a ton of other things. However, kindness is the most important thing to me. That is a lesson that I've learned very well in the most difficult fashion possible. One that isn't on the list, and is equally important is common life goals.

    Oh yes I definitively agree that common goals are very very important. That is what I learned in the past, it's something you can't look past
