    a nice pair of cheeks (not too big, not too small) that WEAR pants well throw in a quiet and collected nature and it's heaven.

    In art? Anything that I would have been proud to put my name to. It's intangible and personal and hard to label.

    In nature? All natural things are beautiful, even the gross stuff. It's some of the things WE do to nature that are ugly.

    In friends? Honest, open, smart, funny. Unafraid to laugh at themselves. Age is irrelevant.

    In a partner? Much the same as a friend, but with some exciting mutual spark of chemistry.

    Being able to talk to them without wanting to run after 10 minutes. I get annoyed easily.

    Poeple who are themselves and are not putting on a front to be anything else. People who have a dry sense of humour and who are loyal and caring. Being able to connect with a person on a deeper level and being able to talk about anything with them.

    Free-spiritedness, warm-heartedness, a big smile and easy going manner.

    People who are relaxed and have very few opinions.

    People who seek first principles

      Harvey, I do wonder sometimes if your feet ever touch the ground.
    2. harveyavatar
      hahaha, that was for a chuckle, but yes the first principles are at the heart of reality, so that must be underground

    Intelligence is extremely attractive. It does not matter if it is a spouse, lover, friend or relative. Intellect is hot. Bloggers are extremely intelligent! Which means bloggers are “happening” attractive types. Except there is an additional equally important element to attractiveness…. balance. Balance means not too much one way, not too much the other way, concerning everything in life.

    Anybody who combines intelligence with balance will be a supremely attractive chick/guy magnet. Physically we might be a troll, but balanced trolls are attractive. Shrek! The story of the Beauty and the Beast. The problem are the unbalanced trolls…DOH! Unbalanced intellect is NOT attractive.

      Yup...brains balanced with compassion and empathy does it for me!

      My husband is VERY attractive!

    opened minded opinions

      Hmmm....interesting. I've always thought that opinions, by their very nature, are close-minded.

    SweetViolet, brains and balance are the trick. Looks can fade, nearly always do. But the inner qualities are forever. And brains and balance make for a good relationship. Balance actually being the more important aspect.
    1. SweetViolet
      That's why my husband is so attractive...BIG brain balanced with compassion and empathy. Lovely man.

    in people?
    a sense of humor that includes the ability to laugh at themselves. A sense of purpose for their life, doesn't matter what it is (mostly) but some purpose, a non-defeatist attitude, the ability to enjoy life and make the best of every situation, intelligence is a nice plus too. Life is rough enough at times, I like to be around people who don't make every day an event to dread, people who can look at a problem and think of solutions not walls they cannot climb.

    Someone who has the gift to embrace you with their smile and engage you in worthwhile conversation. A person who is neither petty, mean nor small. A person who is lovely, open, giving and forgiving. A person who listens and is accepting. A person who loves to share a delicious meal with loved ones and friends.

    Someones attitude! That is very important it makes or breaks some one elses mood. Also butts on men. That is my favorite the way they fill out a nice pair of jeans.

    Transparency. It's something I thing we all can read in a person. It kind of connects to everything once you recognise it yet one of those things that has to surface before knowing it's form.

    On a more specific response: Eyes!

    art: anything that catches my attention in a good way

    guys: a good sense of humor is a must, honesty, the ability to have fun, supportive, willing to put up with my clinginess, looks are a plus, but not nessessary.

    honesty with kindness and love is irresistable to me.

    A lady mid-30s, tall, confident, dressed in tailored business dress, high-heels, carrying a light briefcase, who unexpectedly walks into the somewhat downscale old bohemian street bar/cafe where I spend my social hours, takes a seat at the next table, glances around, slightly uncomfortable, adjusts her skirt somewhat as she crosses her legs, smiles at me as she tugs it lightly to her knee. Notices I am sketching on a napkin as I sip my coffee and smoke a cigarette, leans forward slightly, glances at my scribbling, smiles again, and says, quietly..."Oh...are YOU an artist...?"

    An so it continues from there. Such an encounter with such an attractive person has yet to happen. But I KNOW it can. I have seen such in movie after movie - particularly the old back an' white ones from my pre-teen years. I look forward with all my heart, in all my dreams.
