    A quadrant is a quarter of a circle or a quarter of a cartesian plane. I believe you meant a quadrilateral or quadrangle.

    And typically they would be equiangular quadrilaterals

    Red hair and a pretty face (read: nice smile) with minimal or no makeup. None of this caked in foundation stuff. Show off those freckles and flaws. Gets me every time.

    As I got older, other moms seem attractive.

    - Kindness - this above all else.

    - A decent amount of cop on / savvy. (A subset of intelligence really. If stranded somewhere, they are not f-ing helpless.)
    - Appreciates my sense of humour, and has one of their own.
    - Patient enough to put up with me.

    Kindness also.

    Witnessing a discernible lack of it would be a huge turn off.

    Could not be dealing with people who just moan all the time but don’t seem to do anything about it. I find it so grating and emotionally draining. Life is shlte for most people but you do what you need to do to make it average. Those who let baggage from 20 years ago still bog them down and have a constant victim complex, I find that quality so unattractive, especially when they seem to be doing nothing about it only relishing in their misery.

    Gingers, forgot about that till I read seamus post.

    A nice firey ginger lad. Possibly a ginger beard.

    This is without a doubt the worst motivational speech I've ever heard!:D

    But I do agree with you, suck it up to fúck and get on with things. There's no point moaning about things you can't change and even less in moaning about things you can change, just shut up and do what you have to do!

    Earlier in the thread I posted that there's not really one thing that I could pinpoint about finding someone attractive.


    Scratch that, I realised that it is a nice bum in running tights or yoga pants, or short shorts.

    What I like in a woman :

    A nice ass
    A nice personality
    Brains

    What I do not like in a woman :

    OTT feminism & liberalism
    A woman who is married to her job
    A woman whose life revolves around social media

    Sharing your opinion :)

    well it's not the ideal situation is it? but I don't like people online denigrating these women for their choices and calling the skanks or whatever it was. It might be a choice we wouldn't make but I wouldn't be pointing the finger of blame or disgust at the women themselves, more at the industries that make millions off their insecurities. Telling them they look ridiculous or less attractive, isn't going to resolve anything it's just compounding the message that led them to that path in the first place.

    That kind of judgemental attitude is something I find very unattractive
    That was me. I'm not disgusted by these women and would never be that blunt/cruel to their face. This is a thread about what people find attractive. You could take any number of posts from here and pick it apart and make assumptions about the poster. Example:
    Could not be dealing with people who just moan all the time but don’t seem to do anything about it. I find it so grating and emotionally draining. Life is shlte for most people but you do what you need to do to make it average. Those who let baggage from 20 years ago still bog them down and have a constant victim complex, I find that quality so unattractive, especially when they seem to be doing nothing about it only relishing in their misery.
    Oh my God! Don't you understand that some people struggle with mental illness and have low self esteem? People have bad childhoods that follows then into adulthood. With all the awareness now about mental health, how could you be so cruel and judgemental?

    I actually agree with retro that that type of personality is unattractive. That doesn't mean I don't have empathy with their situation but I wouldn't be attracted to them. I think retro would be the same. If she went on a date with someone who was still dealing with baggage from 20 years ago, I can't imagine her saying to them "I find that quality so unattractive" because that would be cruel and she does not come across as a cruel person.

    Same goes for what I said. Some posters might find the wording harsh but I think the hyper sexualised look, which was perfectly described by someone else as a blow up doll, is not attractive. It doesn't mean I would berate anyone if they chose to go down that route. I will post my honest opinions in an anonymous forum online but I have enough social awareness to keep my opinions to myself in real life ;)
