Physical appearance is usually what turns me on.

I hope that one day I could look past the physical aspect - men who don't care about physical appearance have a much easier time getting dates.

My other problem with women is communication. Were I to go into a first date with someone I would have no idea what to say or how to communicate.

I also don't have any money and still live with parents which is a huge turn-off. Women like men who have their own place, a secure job and who can drive a car. I can't drive a car and probably never will be able to. I'm also quite unhealthy and smell pretty bad.

In other words, just to sum it all up: I will very probably NEVER have a girlfriend, at least not in this lifetime.

I'm attracted first by looks (anyone who isn't blind is lying when they say that isn't the first thing that attracts them to someone- humans are visual creatures, after all) and then by friendliness and sense of humor right after that.

For me it's not that simple. Yes, looks will catch my attention, but it won't me anything more than wanting to look at them. In terms of major crushes, those tend to develop from a platonic connection (or the perceived potential for one) which then makes the person seem more attractive to me.

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..


After few years, I bet it would be just middle class....


You take me far too seriously. Do I have to put a laughing smiley on here to indicate a joke?

I actually chose sense of humor but when i read this i realize this might be what i subconsciously look for. Im so socially awkward that the more inaccessible the guy the better for me. I once fell in love with a guy who's 10k miles away from me. Another is to a guy almost ten years younger than me. I thought the age gap will keep him inaccessible but people around us notice the chemistry and since i couldn't tell if he likes me as a woman i made myself inaccessible by finding another job.

It's the opposite way for me. perhaps that is because I'm very logical & don't see the point in liking someone that I have little chance with. The more she talks to me & the more I think I may have a chance; the more I like her. Or maybe that's more desperation than logic IDK.

That's what I meant. Looks are the absolute first thing anyone notices about someone. They're nothing more than that, through; an attention-getter. They're not something you can base deeper more complex attraction on; they're just the bait to lure you in to find out of there are other attractive qualities to that person besides just good looks.

well i used to think that i just like complication and partially blame my very conservative upbringing instead of admitting that my reaction to the opposite sex is far from normal. Yours in a way is normal you like women who like you while I run away from people who likes me. And a person unless he's a stalker will eventually get tired of chasing.

But what I'm saying is that someone who I might ultimately develop feelings for is not necessarily a person who's looks had initially caught my attention.

I voted 'Other' as for me it's based more on that 'click' type of feeling. It rarely happens with people so when it does I know they're something special. I am a sucker for a dirty blonde too though :lol:
