Pretty, intelligent girls who dig obscure indie movies and are just a little bit strange. Think Zooey Deschanel's character in 500 days of Summer. I think if I ever met a pretty girl in a lift who just said 'I love the Smiths' and started singing, I'd pluck an engagement ring out of the sky and go down on one knee there and then.

I can't find myself attracted to the self obsessive, god's gift to the world types. Doesn't matter if they look like supermodels, just not feeling that buzz at all. Brains over boobs for me every time- cue much AH ridicule

I have to agree with the 'make me laugh and I'm yours' brigade and I find that if they don't have a personality, I get bored - simples. I also think a good old fashioned debate is great foreplay so a guy has to have his opinions yanno!

But yeah - physically, it has to be there in some way, shape or form, but it's not always that the instant 'pwhoar' connection actually works in the long term but someone you know for a while can one day just look at you and make yer knees tremble - attraction is a funny old game really when ye think about it.

They do exist. Unfortunately in the real world 'kooky' often just turns out to be 'mentally unstable' or 'selfish attention whore'. God damn it. :mad:

Cuteness. You can be tall or short, fat or skinny , big boobed or flat as an ironing board. Nice face > everything else. Oh yeah voice (not necessarily accent) is another one. The right voice is a killer. The wrong one a deal-breaker.

Eh, I like my girls to have a good personality and a bit of a dark, twisted sense of humour. I get to have more fun with them that way. The eyes usually seal the deal for me, then :pac:

They can't be too small though as I'm fairly stretched myself and my poor back would be destroyed.

That or the minimum requirement being that she has a pulse...............though that's not strictly enforced..............*cough*

Not readily quantifiable.

I like compassion, intelligence and eyes but really it's just down to that something: no use in trying to classify it.

Gotta be good-looking, first and foremost, then about 12 things else besides.

Sanjuro · 01-07-2010 09:51AM

Personality wise, a sense of humour and intelligence.

Physically- eyes. A big, gorgeous pair of eye knock me right out.

And here come the FYP quotes...

Personality: Easygoing. No dramalamas thanks. Affectionate. Intelligent.

Body: Nice face, big eyes, the usual. Nice bum, good legs. small waist. Prefer thinner women. Not that pushed on bewbs TBH. So long as there's something there. The Irish(and British) lads seem obsessed with the bewbage, so Im outa whack there. That said IME Irish women tend to be much more chesty than say the latins on average, so maybe that's where it comes from?

Actually I was at a gig recently with a girl just like that - friend of friends. I know I'm being mean, but she was really, really annoying.

Her "kookiness" just grated.

Personally I've been an "indie chick" since I was about 12 but never bought into being overly quirky, even if I am a little bit arty... plus, Jaysus there's nothing wrong with a bit of glamour instead of jeans and t-shirts day in day out. Although one's own personal style of glamour is the best - e.g. Róisín Murphy's.

I love people who are genuinely a little different, eccentric or quirky, but people with a self-consciously zany/kooky schtick get on my tits. Especially if they're old enough to know better.

Being a little different is an abstruse quality and unless you're a teenager, it's nothing to do with liking certain bands or clothes, or even being 'alternative' in the accepted (and utterly hackneyed) subcultural sense.

Have to upfront and not lie, but I love breasts as well. Genuinely, and not in the bewbs! answer way.

What is it that floats your boat?
