What Attracts You First? Poll #1 for Women Only

[Babyguile]

So, which are you?

I think fellow posters would appreciate you not being so adament about taking this thread off its topic. I don't feel obliged to satisfy your curiosity.

Oh, you were being sarcastic? Sorry, that's always a problem online. This: - isn't the sarcasm emoticon, it's the satisfaction emoticon.

The reply was addressed to stlukes. I think he's smart enough to have got the message.

Hell, I'll admit that my wife's boobs were what first seriously grabbed my attention... [/QUOTE]

There's something more than a little Freudian about the words 'boobs' and 'grabbed' in the same sentence.

I voted, basically for the same qualities that I suggested-humor, kindness, eyes. I added face and body and tolereant of quirks. I wasn't sure about that last one, mainly because you wouldn't really know about that until you'd actually gotten to know them.

I would like to say thank you to jun and poeticpassions for clarifying issues in a tolerant and intelligent way. As for you guys, really? Are you 14? Wading through these comments has been somewhat disappointing. Do any of you even like women?

I think there is plenty of evidence among these posts to show that at least some of the male response has been in women's favour. Some like their women hot in the hay:



And some like their women prim and proper:



Either way, where women are concerned there's something for every man.

Is this a joke?

That is good to hear. Can I have A guy, 6ft, brown eyes, good sense of humour, intelligent WITH A BIG ****??? Oh and extra fries please....

I have always suspected that my fixation with breasts, might be an indication that deep down I truly am gay; and that my conscious self focuses so highly on breasts purely to ensure that my eyes are always distracted and may never catch sight of a male penis, because once they see it, the ego buried within the depths of the un-conscious shall become infatuated and desirous to such a degree that suppressing my true desire shall become impossible. Well played super-ego. Well played indeed. Never letting me truly discover my homosexual tendencies by ensuring that I am at all times distracted by breasts...well played indeed brain.

I'm sure there are a number of male LitNet contributors who would fit the bill but I'm afraid that you will have to count me out.

My initial reaction to reading over this thread is that when discussing the poll results people should maybe be asking more questions and making fewer statements.

Meantime, I would like to do my part to dispel the generalization of the shallow, physical-attribute-obsessed man. Unfortunately, I've realized that the first thing I checked out when looking at the women's poll results was whether any women voted for boobs (One did! Yes!).

So before I go back into my cave, I'd like to ask this question: Do women who like breasts like breasts in the same way that men who like breasts like breasts?

No, women like breasts as a way of attracting a man but men like breasts as something to get their teeth into.

Seeing as you were making some pretty broad generalizations about men, I didn't think the question was unreasonable.

It's refreshing, though, that the thread has been restored to the natural order of things: women complaining about how disappointing men are, rather than the other way around. I guess it doesn't matter that it was women who brought up dating jerks in the first place.

I think the fundamental differences here are that humour, intelligence and kindess are going to have a much more sustainable effect in a long term relationship than face, breasts and build. The qualities that women are looking for will not necessarily disappear over time as opposed to the physical qualities that men look for.

Perhaps the laws of attraction for gender are simply the primitive self as translated in the 21st century (at least from a female perspective)
