Poll: What Personality Traits Do You Find Attractive?

[SckizoBoy]

Unlike Daystar, I would not want a female version of me because having the same everything can be really bad.

Likewise... :/

If I dated a female version of me, damn we'd never be happy. Hell, I basically did date a female version of myself for six years, and fuck that ended badly. Still love her to bits, but I don't think we'd ever be able to make each other happy. We lost our one chance, and I don't think we'll ever get it back...

Anyway... *theatrical exhalation*

I notice that most of the 'do not wants' are aspects that almost everyone would hate in a partner... *shrug*

Still:

Likes - discipline, intellect, financially conservative, politically liberal, taciturn, laconic, pedagogic, equable

Dislikes - being too laid back, spendthrift, societal driven ambition, flirtatious, loquacious, lack of curiosity, caprice

*shrug*

 

[Fijiman]

Well, based on the given options, I would have to say potato with a bit of strawberries and chocolate.

 

[trollnystan]

I'm not exactly sure, as I haven't felt genuinely attracted to a real live person in my vicinity in years.[footnote]Having a crushes on Garrus and Ezio doesn't count.[/footnote] (Crazy cat lady spinster reporting in, SAH! *salutes*)

However, I suppose I'd enjoy someone which a similar sense of humour - a bit snarky, a bit silly - integrity, kindness, intelligence; a bit flirty is fun too as long as it doesn't translate into "sleeping around". I don't have any real experience in the matter, but I believe I'm a monogamous type of person. So, hypothetical perfect lifemate, feel free to be flirty with the other girls and boys, but only playfully thank you.

Would probably need someone who was more solid and dependable than I, and who could give me a loving kick out "the nest" so to speak when I need it. Like Daystar I'm a lazy bugger so there's that, but I'm also awash with social phobias that make me cocoon myself at home more often than not.

Wow, what's with my vocabulary today?

 

[Yopaz]

Intelligence is a big one for me. I really like to have some thoughtful discussions and I'm not sure I could handle a relationship without that.

There's also kindness and being able to make crude jokes. Oh, and don't forget banana, that's also important in a girl.

 

[Lieju]

Must like science and spiders.
(Also ferrets.)

Intelligence and sense of humor are a must.
There are few things that make me lose interest faster than stupidity or ignorance.

 

[DeltaEdge]

Hm, it's hard to say since I've never been in a relationship before. Maybe because I've been thinking about who would work well with me, and not just who I am emotionally attracted to.
Well, as for personalities that attract me, but not in a sexual way, let's see:

Not necessarily a personality trait, but people who share at least some of my major interests, those being video games(particularly jrpgs and sonic/nintendo games), drawing(digital, web comics), anime(manga too), computers, and I've just recently come around to MtG and am considering learning how to play DnD. They don't need to be into all of these things, but unless that particular like is anime, I'd prefer if they were into at least 2 of these. But yeah, since I don't do that much outside of these things, it's quite important to me so that we have things in common to talk about.

Other than that, it mainly just comes down to things I don't want to see in terms of personality. If you aren't overly loud, overly obnoxious, devious, lying, illiterate, ebonics speaking, nasty, then chances are I would probably find your personality attractive if you share some of my interests.

If we're speaking solely based on personality and not interests, then I guess.. Nice for starters, and not any of the above things, or too oblivious/pushy and outgoing. I don't feel like I'd mesh well with people who don't share my interests/activities though, just due to my limited interests are.

 

[grey_space]

They...Have to find me hilarious.

And attractive.

So blind and no sense of humour.


Funny and honest. And relaxed. No controlling stress monsters need apply thank you.

 

[bartholen_v1legacy]

Straightforward, honest and good with words, i.e. not prone to freezing up in a conversation. Able to look outside the exterior. Willing to admit their faults but also laugh at them.

And I hate to sound like a cynic, but a touch of realism wouldn't hurt, or at least I know I probably couldn't date some pixie dream girl who dreams of world peace and love for everyone.

I am waiting by the phone for you to call me all night long.

Where have you been?

Just call 1-800-ASSASSINO

Huh, I always figured you for the Yam and passion fruit with a side of pie type of guy fiji.

You learn something knew everyday.

What else are you hiding from us?

-snip-

So an emotional troll then? XD

 

[Bestival]

I like the one where they don't falsely make a poll thread in the hopes of getting more views.


Also, humor. I like a gal that can make me laugh, and that laughs at my jokes.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

Definitely banana. I hate those apple types. I mean I'm not racist but those apples should just go back to where they came from, man.

You give me too much credit

*secretly takes note of plan for next time*

I'm just a dude with an odd sense of humor! XD

 

[twaddle]

Easy going personality,yet having the ability to connect with me on an higher intellectual level. I became seriously turned on when my gf and I began discussing brain function on both the biological and psychological level. She wants to study the biological aspects while i'm more of a psychology man. I like my significant other to be warm and affectionate but willing to give me my own space to think and breath. I might be the luckiest man on earth.

Clarion.. What are you doing here, this is not your territory..

Hmm. Attractive traits. I've got a pretty alternative opinion on what I find to be attractive. Call me snobbish but intellectuality and intelligence is always a turn on. Other than that, good taste in music is a plus as well as a good sense of humour.. Usually an incredibly dark sense of humour. Nothing sexier than a sexy lady with a well-timed dead baby joke.

... I suddenly find myself much more attracted to you...

Hey baby, wanna Co-op sometime?

 

[Harley Q]

What can I say I love them socially awkward penguins. I can't stand rageful people. You know when someone is constantly hulking and refuses to compromise. A certain amount of stubbornness is okay, but after a point it just makes me want to high five them, in the face, with a chair.

 

[INF1NIT3 D00M]

As far as what I find physically attractive, it's pale skin, dark hair, tattoos, and piercings. I looked up a chart on face shapes once, I'm pretty sure that diamond- or heart-shaped faces are my favorite. French girls, Canadian girls, British girls, even the occasional Spanish/Latina girl, they get my attention. Accents are a definite plus.

A general air of intelligence is appreciated. You don't necessarily have to be intelligent, just a basic interest, curiosity or desire to learn is enough. If you're passionate about something, or if you seek out knowledge, I don't really care what your IQ is or how much trivia you can recite. I'd take a foolish girl with a passion for space exploration over the snobbish girl who constantly belittles films and filmmakers over tiny mistakes in cinematography. It's great that she knows so much, but it's no fun being around her.

I'm a person who is often in the middle ground, I like the people around me to be flexible in personality. The activities with me range from swing dancing to rock climbing to death metal concerts and then usually end with some quiet time on the couch watching Netflix. I'd prefer to be with someone who is comfortable (or uncomfortable but willing) in any given situation. I need spontaneity. Things work out the best when I am the anchor and she is the free spirit.

Two things I hate:
-willful ignorance
-intolerance

That kind of runs the spectrum, from being "stupid" to being unwilling to try something new. I can't abide bigots. That's not to say I can't enjoy off-color jokes or stand-up, but when people start saying disparaging things about women, jews, homosexuals, or people of a specific race, my blood starts to boil and I want to break their jaw.
I can't stand people with those "stoner eyes". You know, where their eyes are all puffy and they look at everything as though they are high and couldn't care less. They don't even have to be high, and generally they aren't. They just have this look, like they could be meeting the president and they'd be staring just over his head like "Huh huh, hey man. How's it going? So you're like, the president 'n shit?". Think that whole Jesse Pinkman attitude, though the actor can't quite pull it off because he's not a fucking loser in real life.

I also can't stand someone who is too "above" doing certain things. I have a biker friend, and nothing makes me more angry at him than when he shoots down a fun activity simply because it'd hurt his biker image. I understand not wanting to do things; but avoiding things just because you might look silly, or can't pull of an air of always-too-cool-for-this while you're doing it, is no way to live. Being too rigid in style or attitude is a turn off for me in anyone I meet, male or female. If you can't wear club wear on monday, biker clothes on tuesday, fishing clothes on wednesday, goth clothes on thursday, and a fancy suit for Fancy Friday, then I don't want to hang out with you on any more than I absolutely have to. Your precious image can be put on hold for a little bit, while we go and do something fun. Nothing kills my buzz like someone with very rigid thinking.
