when you are attracted to someone for the first time

[fluffernutter]

what do you notice about them first? what first attracts you?

we were talking about this at work, and everyone said something completely different, so a poll won't cut it. just let fly.

[Maddy McCall]

1. Shoulders...a guy with nice shoulders.

I am a sucker for broad shoulders and a nice butt. But the shoulders are the first thing I notice.

[tjdee]

2. One outstanding characteristic--doesn't have to be looks.

Something different about them...
like, with one guy it was the way everyone was dancing, and he wasn't.

With one guy it was that he moved his hands a lot while he was talking.

One guy kept making everyone in his party laugh, and he was sitting on the table.

Etc.

I'll be interested to read the other responses, I think men are more visual than women (of course, women appreciate good looks too)...

[GOPisEvil]

3. I'm a sucker for a pretty smile.

:7

[JimmyJazz]

4. Intelligence and their sense of humor. Really. Okay and a nice

ass doesn't hurt anything, either.

[RagingInMiami]

5. It's usually a combination of things, nice smile, hair, eyes etc.

But I always make it a point to check out her butt.

[JimmyJazz]

12. ALERT ALERT - Objectifying butts!

oh, wait - I did, too. Nevermind. Move along :hi: nothing to see here...

[hippiechick]

6. Eyes, smile, and something indescribable.

I have never been able to 'label' what 'it' is about the men I am attracted to ... it's almost an instinctive, hormonal thing that's a combination of personality, intellect, the way they carry themselves, and 'vibe'.


:hippie:

[madison2000]

7. Eyes, smile, height

But sometimes people that are physically attractive quickly become unattractive because of personality and vice versa.

:tinfoilhat:

[Mojambo]

8. The way she walks. n/t

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

9. Sense of humor!!

Make me laugh and I melt... :loveya:

[JimmyJazz]

11. Is that why you love me? Do I make you laugh?

:loveya: too - pass the wine please :7

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

19. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways....

Oh, darlin' - that and so much more!! :hug: :loveya:

[complain jane]

10. Demeanor. The way they carry themselves. No open books.

Mystery. Intrigue. Not looks, looks are secondary. But they certainly don't hurt.

[fluffernutter]

21. mystery and intrigue for me too.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

24. Same here

The way he uses language, easy quips, sorta of a sangfroid attitude.

[complain jane]

36. Hi Centipede Shoes, I like your name.

:hi:

[fluffernutter]

13. i'm gonna say it - a nice ass is good.

but i'm also attracted to their eyes and their voice.

oh, and i have a thing for hands. it's weird. but i do.

after all of that, the person has to intrigue me and make me laugh.

[trof]

14. Boobs, back in the day.

50s-60s, that was the first thing I noticed.
I'm a LOT older, and a little wiser now.
Hey - you asked.

[fluffernutter]

18. i love honesty!

and you know you still like the boobs. it's okay, i like nice butts, i admit it ;)

[Left Is Write]

15. Depends on the guy. With some, it's eyes, with others it's smile.

With still others, it's the way they walk, their clothes, or their bod.

[fluffernutter]

16. the way they walk, good one.

[eaprez]

17. someone who makes me laugh has my immediate attention....

...after that it's the smile...and then how he treats the waitress.

[jackelope72]

20. The eyes make or break the deal.

If I see some guy who is incredibly hot, and we make eye contact, and I can discern no intelligence or basic sentience behind the eyes, suddenly he might as well be the foulest insect in the darkest cave in the deepest jungle, for all that I care. The attraction is gone.

On the other hand, there have been guys who, looks-wise, were really nothing special, or who were downright funny-looking, but when our eyes met, there was something there, some spark. And then, I don't care what they looked like, I was like, va-va-va-voom!

[asthmaticeog]

22. A nice thick, strong

accent.

[CJCRANE]

23. Hallo zere, mine friend !!!

.

[the Princess]

25. His eyes

I have been insanely attracted to only 2 men in my life. Hubby being the most important one and there is another. But both of them had the same effect on me. When our eyes met - I felt it to my toes.

*phew*

Oh yeah a full beard helps too!

[leftofthedial]

26. the eyes have it

I look deep into their soul, no wait. that's the little bushturd.

But the eyes have it.

[Magrittes Pipe]

27. Her balls.

Figuratively speaking, of course.

[rustydog]

28. eyes, smile, intelligence and a sense of humor

[gollygee]

29. Voice

Always the voice.

[Longgrain]

30. As an artist, I'm usually drawn to faces...

Unique faces, expressive faces, faces that may seem common at first then show new beauty after you study them closer. Hair and body and type come after wards for me.

[frictionlessO]

31. pheromones, intellect, and ass..in that order usually...

[judaspriestess]

32. hmmm

confidence, confidence, confidence and looks sorry for being so vain. a certain comfort level for themselves. I love confidence not arrogance, sexy, sexy, sexy.......
mmmmmm, mmmmmm, yummy!!!

[Cuban_Liberal]

33. His smile...

I was hooked from the instant he smiled at me...

:)

[ScreamingMeemie]

34. Hands. Hands do it for me all the time.

:hi:

[SarahB]

35. Height

I'm definitely More attracted to taller men initially.

[AccessGranted]

37. Not into looks....love Intelligent men, but . . .

Of course when you first see someone you first notice their appearance, which is one of the problems with today's society. We put a lot of stock in how a person looks. Looks are not all that important to me. As long as the person is neat and clean and seems like a gentlemen I'll delve further and see what makes them tick. I've had my share of prettyboys and those buffed-up dudes and it's nice for a hot minute, but it doesn't last. Give me an intellectual any day. Nothing makes my boat float more than intelligence. Too sexy!

[aQuArius]

38. Ditto!!!

Amen, sister!

[miss_kitty]

39. The Package

:evilgrin: The whole package that is...

[Dastard Stepchild]

40. a great smile... and an easy laugh...

everything else is fairly irrelevant. Though a bit of intelligence doesn't hurt either :)

[Lydia Leftcoast]

41. Wicked glints in the eyes

Then intelligence and humor, especially of the verbally adept sort--by which I do NOT mean bad puns.

[WindRavenX]

42. voice and eyes

Both reveal how they see the world.
