What do you have to offer?

I'm interested in what personal qualties/skills/talents/attributes/characteristics etc. you have that you believe make YOU attractive to the opposite sex - or the same sex if that is your preference.

(I don't mean superficial things like how much money you earn etc.)

Yes, I know this sounds like one of those dreaded job interview questions but I seem to notice a lot of people listing what makes them unattractive to others and not much of what makes them attractive.

I have no desirable qualities and every woman I have been with hates me. Too the point that if I ever did get in a relationship, I would be worried about taking it to the next level cause in my experience physical intimacy equals being hated. I am pretty sure that every woman that I have ever been with regrets it. I raise more red flags than I do any level of attraction.

Do you know what I like about you, dcj?
You offered to help when I was having problems.
To me, that is a desirable quality.

In fact, that is what attracted me to my partner - he was always willing to help out no matter what.
That shows kindness and that you care for others.

So you do have an attractive quality, even though you think you don't.

I think, you, DCJ, have lots of potential

You just have to get out of your old habits, your old way of doing things, your old circle of friends...and start anew.

I'm not a religious man---I don't even believe in God--but I'm thinking it might be good if you read the Bible. It's great history, and it teaches decent moral values. It has its irritating, even amoral portions---but I think it's fine reading, indeed. Get the ones which are rendered in modern English--unless you like literature. If you like literature, get the Kings James Version.

"what personal qualities ... you have that ... make YOU attractive to the opposite sex"

The amusing aspie answer would be, "my collection of more than 400 train schedules from all major European cities." :D

(So I'll go with being intelligent, considerate, thoughtful, encouraging, romantic, and skilled in the use of the Oxford comma.)

Collecting to such a high degree suggests that you are dedicated and faithful.
There is also some highly attractive organisational skill there if you keep them in categories etc. :P

I wish I had all my aesthetics interests, combined with some kind of mechanical aptitude.

If I had mechanical aptitude, the ability to fix things, to "MacGyver," I would have felt quite desirable, indeed.

So you do have an attractive quality, even though you think you don't.

You are also attractive in appearance, so that's at least two qualities you have.
I'm sure you have many more if you think about it.

Yep....Raleigh does have a point!

She has a good artistic eye; if she thinks you're good-looking, then you're good-looking.

Perhaps, I can do little in terms of support, I have no money and can barely help myself but I do genuinely wish others well, maybe thats enough.

If you wish others well, then you're at least okay.

I don't wish general harm of anybody, either.

I only have traits that would attract women from the 1950s and back

I'm kind, caring, loyal, romantic, nonselfless, funny, sweet. I always try to help people
I'm non violent, I value all life. Blah doesn't matter today.

I can cook some things not like fancy restaurant but hamburgers, steak, home made French fries, stuff from recipes and boxes.

I'm tall and can reach lots of places. I'm non judgmental also.

Though all those are seen as negatives and not real man.
