attraction
May 14, 2011
Day 26 of the 30 day challenge is to talk about the kind of person that attracts me. This is a fun question! I think as I have gotten older I have realized that I care a lot less about physical attraction and more about a mental attraction. Now don’t get me wrong there HAS to be a physical connection for anything to spark but I guess I am just a lot less superficial than I used to be. I happen to think my husband is HOT but I think his most attractive qualities are they way he treats other people, how sweet he is, how selfless he is and how forgiving he can be. All of those things are not things you can see but rather things I have learned and experienced.
What attracts you?

What Kelly Said 
I also like to see how people treat others — and that is something I love about Jason. If someone needs help, he is there. He’ll get out and help people push their broken down cars, he’ll open/hold the door for others, he is always kind to cashiers, etc. He will give you the shirt off his back if you need it.
I agree that physical attraction is important, but its not everything. Personality means so much more. I dated a guy I met at the gym once. He was hot, but dumb as a door knob. Talking to him was painful. It didn’t last.
I think sense of humor is the most attractive thing. I love a guy that can make me laugh.
I want a guy who can make me laugh and keep up with me on the running trail or some sort of athletic ability- being active is important.
Plus, being super tall sure doesn’t hurt… 🙂
I agree that there has to be some physical attraction but mainly it’s a person’s personality that makes them attractive to me. I am so attracted to Lee because he understands me and is the most caring person I have ever met. He honestly has good intentions behind everything that he does and is always thinking about others. 🙂
P.S. His muscles don’t hurt either! 😉
Ahhh – love this.
Definitely a sense of humor. Definitely. Witty and smart. Someone able to laugh things off and see the lighter side of things (needs to balance me out!).
I agree with how they treat other people. When I see how some of the guys and staff I work with – how they deal with the older clients we have…it’s so heart-warming…too bad they didn’t work for me 😉
Kelly, I so agree that the physical attraction has to be there. What’s interesting is how even without an initial physical attraction it can happen later on through growing appreciation of those great inherent, personal qualities you mention.
That being said the moment I saw and talked to my husband I thought “He’s dreammmmmy!” 🙂
I agree that physical attraction has to be there to start something, but it is the mental connection that keeps things going! Yes you can think someone is good looking but if you can’t maintain a conversation with them, they don’t make you laugh, they are not courteous to you or others, than that’s a problem. I am also attracted to guys that tell you what they want or if they are attracted to you and they sometimes take the initiative!
