Friendliness. I don't tend to notice whether somebody's physically attractive or smart for quite a while and by the time I've got to know them well enough to like them, that bit doesn't matter to me very much anyway. If somebody makes me feel like they actually enjoy talking to me, that's the most important bit. Doesn't matter whether they want to discuss science or socks as long as they're nice. That goes for friendships as well as finding somebody attractive. Now I'm starting to wish that I'd kept a record of the stuff I've found attractive over the years. It'd be interesting to see how things have changed as I approach adulthood. :lol:

Physical appearance first. It's what makes you first approach the other person, right?

I like bitchy/opinionated guys, except when they're mean, and insist that they're right which somehow makes the other person lower or less intellectual than them. That's a total turnoff.

Nope.

Until their personality brings them to my notice, they're just another bit of moving furniture.
"Slightly prettier furniture" =/= "Attraction".

Initially confidence, then sense of humour and wit.

I realized I tend to be more attracted to girls who are kinda immature, ditzy, & less intelligent because i find them funny, cute & more reltabloe to me so maybe I feel they are more on my level

Yep. I didn't select it cos it would be stupid of me to decline someone I liked because they weren't rich. And, it's highly unlikely I could have a rich guy. :( Maybe upper middle class..

"What attracts you first or most to another person?"
Those are two different questions with different answers. The first thing anyone notices (well except someone blind) about someone else is looks. Then what attracts me the most to someone has yet to be determined.

I like guys with a sense of humor, friendly and nice and they have to be attractive to me physically in some manner. They don't have to be models, my bf is a little fluffy around the middle and I think he's good looking. :heart:

Its a combination of the above for me. As others have said, initial physical attraction is obviously important but to get me really interested they need to be fairly interesting and have a nice, fun personality. I'm picky, but I don't really have a 'type' as such. That said, I always look for things like maturity and thoughtfulness.

I avoid anyone who seems to act like their relationship is like a movie and creates drama just for the sake of it. Basically the type who always want 'excitement' because they're too immature for a proper relationship.

I chose "Other". I initially look for 2 things, her Eyes & her Hands. I actually don't see the rest of her for at least a week or 2. I look directly into her Soul by looking at her Eyes. If her Soul "qualities" are up to my standards, then I look at her Hands. Don't know exactly how or why, but that's it. Then I lock up.

Definitely sense of humor - for it's own sake, plus the fact that it is indictative of many other desirable traits...

This poll doesn't give much insight to what we actually find attractive in general. I took it as "initially"

BUT

That doesn't mean much.

Personality and spiritual connection are what really matter.
