tufty: Absence of the ability to talk about anything and everything would be dull.... It's great to talk random with someone, haha actually some days its just nice to talk , so I don't think I would cope too well with someone without an opinion on most things (as long as they're not zealots on any one thing....) variety IS the spice.....

Absence of tactile behaviour I would be baffled by as well, I love all the touchy feely stuff and not just in the joy pit, the lil hugs and stuff that make you glow are vitalOver the top...... Giggling like a braying donkey at every slight funny would be a tad unnerving....


Oh yes, the tactile stuff - I love tactile laugh I hug people quite a lot and for lots of reasons - I dont think I could go for anybody who wouldnt understand or even be threatened by that - Im just a huggy sorta person and thats that laugh

and yep..... some days its just nice to talk hug

trish123: how do you define attraction? would the abscense of particular qualities be a total deal breaker? and which qualities/characteristics do you see as potentially being completely over the top?

In short, aside from the sex stuff, what turns you on about the opposite sex?


Kindness.. compassion.. and humour. thumbs up thumbs up thumbs up

gingerb: Clever minds and wit do it for me every time.

Dealbreakers would be insensitivity and shouting or ignorant behaviour. Can't be around that at all

I hate being around anything like that. hug

lets face it ......its physical attraction that hooks you, then after that you get to know all the other qualities that either make you fallin love or walk the other way.

The heart is a muscular organ in all vertebrates responsible for pumping blood through the blood vessels by repeated, rhythmic contractions, or a similar structure in annelids, mollusks, and arthropods.


Oh... HJ.

Not for me Darlynda. Couldn't care less what he looks like. Just has to be able to chat intelligently and have a bit of manners and sensitivity.

Yep, that closeness is such a turn on and sort of provides the impetus for wishing the day was over and you are in bed simply savouring each other - I miss it too.............. sigh grin

It changed for me as I got older. I got past the "I'll go out with her cuz she's hot" to the personality (e.g., there's no way I'd go out with her) because we have absolutely nothing in common. I think if the personalities are similiar thats what works for me.
