In all honesty, the first thing I look for when I'm wandering around somewhere is looks. I'm fond of the guys who are a bit taller than me and have dark hair. Aside from that, though, I look for people who have lots of similar interests to me so we have tons to chat about.

As long as they keep it nice and clean, I agree! :) But I'm a fan of the dark hair because I'm a blonde... I guess I'm fascinated with a hair color I don't have, haha!

Now, I won't say it's all about looks, but it is an added bonus if they look good,etc. More personally, there needs to be common ground. That we share interest on the same things, and on different things to learn more in life. A sense of humor is needed and personality is a big factor.

That is very true without a common ground how do you get along? So I agree with you very much that there has to be some common ground.

well i'd be a hypocrite if i say looks doesn't matter. it's only natural for us to be attracted by good looks. however, that won't hold the moment the person opens his mouth. i'm quite a stickler for correct pronounciation. regardless of the language spoken, the words should be pronounced correctly. it's a form of respect accorded to the language. so definitely yes, someone who doesn't massacre the language he is speaking is a great turn on. it's hard to find someone like this in my country. although some says we are bi-lingual, i'd have to say that we can't even master one language. ;[

I think I am the exact opposite. The very first thing I do when I look at anyone is criticize them. He's too hairy. OMG! Where is Charlie Brown, we've found the great pumpkin. You know that sort of thing. So anyone who really wants to get my attention better find a way to talk to me first because looks matter next to none to me. I could be looking at the hottest man in the world and if when he speaks he sounds like an f'in idiot he has just become invisible to me.

I thought that was the funniest thing we saw that night. LOL!!!! I swear to god I didn't think that could put that much lycra in an outfit. I'm not no skinny chick and I just wouldn't wear that if my life depended on it but hey there is your new discussion should people have a license to dress themselves. LOL!!!

everyone loves a good looking person. but thats not the only thing that attracts me to the opposite gender. for example, everything about my boyfriend attracts me to him. he is really tall, built and muscular, has dark hair and it tan. i love the tall, dark and handsome thing. not only is he good looking but is hilarious. i love being with a person who can make me laugh all the time... even when i am so angry at him that i dont want to look at him. with those two things, he's really smart. ive never met a guy smarter than him. if i dont know something, hes always there to help me. a mix of looks, smarts and humor does the trick for me. i wish there were more guys out there like him for every girl because i dont think a girl should have to settle for something she is not looking for. there's not many good guys out there, but when you do find one, keep him!

well before actually meeting a person of course I notice looks but thats just human nature I think....Once I have met someone though and chatted with them etc looks arent really important..what REALLY attracts me is personality, humour and solid character..

well if you are walking down a random street and you see someone who is attractive to you then of course it's looks. but if you are in a situation where you are able to talk to someone then it becomes much more then that. so i guess it depends on the situation

so very true it's depends on the situation. Like if you are introduced to a person and you get a chance to talk to them and they intrigue you then it has nothing to do with the looks factor at all. LOL!!!!!!!!!

Well sweety for me it is a persons eyes or their voice normally - not whether they are good looking or not but the warmth, caring and personality there - that does it for me every time - along with the voice obviously! xxx

Well bella For me It would have to be someone i can talk to, and someone that can accept me for me! I am a big sci-fi, sports, horror fan. I love to watch a boxing match, or even go out and fix something lol. I can be a girlie girl when I want to be but I also enjoy going out and getting "dirty". I love playing games, and spending time with my loved ones. Ever here the song about making a pretty woman your wife? Same goes for guys lol. If there is a lost that you can talk about and you can learn new things from each other then its perfect!

nope I don't think I heard the song about making the pretty girl your wife. I definitely am going to have to ask you the name of it so I can look it up and listen to it. But I totally agree with it has to be someone that I can talk to and accept me for me. LOL!!!

Actually the looks of a person isn't what grabs my attention but the way they handle and carry themselves is what attracts me to them. If they're soft faced, clean dressed and easy going, that will attract me to them but if they're mean looking and arrogant that will turn me off in a heartbeat.

I hear you on that I don't want to date someone that looks like a pr!ck all the time and they have the attitude to match it's a total turn off for me.

It's called chemistry and who can explain that. Sometimes we just feel something great when we meet someone even if their looks aren't great or even if they are great. It is a feeling we get when we see someone. I can't explain it more than to say you get a tingly feeling in your tummy and you feel an electric shock go up your arm if you touch hands, and you might get a tightness in your private parts. And sweaty palms and fat lips, when you are talking to them your lips don't work right and you say dumb things, sometimes. When you get excited to see them and anticipate being with them. Sometimes you can feel this chemistry and then find out what they are really like after spending time with them, and the chemistry is gone. It has nothing to do with the looks of a person, to me anyways. I wait for the chemistry thing to happen for me.

The first thing that attracts someone to a person are of course the looks: clothes, face, body,.. All others are liers!! Personally, I first look at the face: more specific, the eyes and the smile. Secondly I look at the a*s. The boobs aren't really an important factor in my opinion. Of course when you start to know a person, you're going to look at the inside. If the inside is bad then "no thanks", even if it would be Angelina Jolie. So at last, it's the inside that'll win from the outside, however the first impressions are always based on the outside.

thanks for your honesty .. There is always something that first attracts us to a person. LOL!!! But once we're in we like to make sure that there is some common ground.

Interesting question,hmm for me i guess the general appearance of a guy,along with his attitude,if i feel comfortable with both of those then ,its lets explore each others views,likes,dislikes and see if we match up on conversation and some humour .Of course the ideal is when there is that magical ,feeling of being drawn to each other ,without any preamble!!Oh bliss .

It all depends on the person. For one guy I could like his face, another his voice. But there is one thing I do love, red hair.if he has red hair, it is such a bonus.

Foe me, it is not always about looks. I have met some handsome guys whose attitude leaves a lot to be desired. Guess they feel their looks compensate for their bad attitude, whereas I have met some guys who women probably would pass on the street that are rare when it comes to caring for a woman So, that said, I consider the whole bundle when it comes to a man, not only his looks, but the way he carries himself and his personality.

A guy can easily turn my head if he's tall, dark, chinky eyed and if his shoulders are broad, the swimmer type. I get intrigued if the guy is quiet and mysterious type. On the other side, I get fond to talk to guys who are smart, witty and has humorous style of being sarcastic. But most of all, I get attracted and always remembers a guy who is a cowboy. Someone who I can talk to about anything under the sun and I can hang out with by just foodtripping or soundtripping.

The first thing I remember looking at was my husbands hands. I love masculine hands. Also, teeth are a really big thing. You must have decent teeth...i think it is really gross when people don't take of their bodies. My husband has nice teeth, awesome hands and the rest of him I will keep to myself.

I'm just being honest...looks counts a lot but I hava to see first what personality he has. He might be handsome but on the other side he has bad attitudes, that's bad points for the guy.
