Blogvember Day 3: If We Date...

What kind of person attracts you? 

You know the old joke about people with "nice personalities"? Like the "he's not Brad Pitt but aww he's cute look he's trying" kind of thing?

Well, I kinda detest that concept regarding personalities as second best to physical features, seeing as a personality is probably the most important thing to me in a person.

If I had to rate what I looked for in the opposite gender, I'd definitely go off of
-personality/sense of humor
-smile
-passions/talents
-character
-looks
...in that order.

For me, looks are only surface deep.  You could be absolutely GORGEOUS but if you cannot make me laugh, handle my awkwardness, get my sarcasm (or throw it right back at me), or hold a conversation, then... It's not gonna work.  You have to get my interested. And HOLD my interest.
..I get distracted easily XD

They say "if the eyes are the window to the soul, the smile is the front door", and I believe every word of this. Your smile has to be genuine-- the light-up-your-face-and-make-your-eyes-crinkle type of genuine. I've smiled for school pictures before-- I try to think of something funny so I don't end up with a fake smile on my face, because I can spot those a mile away.  Your smile has to invite me in, make me want to smile, make me want to talk to you.

One thing that's SUPER DUPER attractive is the way someone lights up about their passions, unrestricted and unbothered by outside opinion. When someone is into something and you can see it bloom across their face when they talk about it, that's attractive. I like confidence. I am drawn to ambitious people who do not feel inferior and do not feel the need to make others feel inferior in their own passions.

The only thing better than a well-dressed man is a well mannered man, and one who has a personal code of conduct or set of beliefs.  Don't be wishy-washy in your stance when hard times come, take pride in your abilities, and do the right thing. There's nothing more attractive than a decent human being.

I save looks for last, mostly because it's like the bow on a present. It's not necessary, but it's a nice bonus touch (;
 ...That being said, I find abs attractive, sandy blonde hair, chiseled cheek bones, dimples, and light eyes quite lovely (; Height is a tossup--I like medium to tall guys, but I don't really care. Then again, it's not hard to be taller than me, soooooooooooo (;

You know what else I'm attracted to?

People who are just having fun in their lives. Wherever they're at, whatever they're doing-- if they're happy about it, positive about it, and glad to be where they are, that's great.
