Not to worry, Bro secularhermit! I hike all the time so my daughter's USAF basic training boots came in handy! I've worn them for years now and my feet are just dandy. :eek: (Heyyy.... I just rhymed!)
Perhaps you're also a CANDY poet. Ha! Ha!

Humor is the most attractive quality IMHO ;)

I think all 3 are good. I am short so I like a guy that is taller than me. Intelligent, I hate talking to stupid people. But they can't be so smart that they lord it over everyone else. A masculine man is important because I don't like geeky guys.

You like a buff guy over a geeky guy? Got it. But there's far more to masculinity than muscles, like integrity, responsiblity and respect. Surely those count for something.

None of those things matter. Love for Christ is the most attractive thing everrrrr.

Thinking about this in all honesty, I'm not sure. I think I want a guy who is tall and intelligent, but not so intelligent that he makes me feel inferior. And not super masculine, muscle bound guys sometimes weird me out.

I think it's fine for a girl to like what she likes.

We're all different... and that's a good thing.

I am reasonably tall, reasonably masculine, and reasonably intelligent.


But I lack the sort of free capital to pursue another major romantic fishing expedition. The last few have literally broke the bank.

Male Attractiveness = [(Athleticism + Male Height Female Height) • Humor/Intelligence] ^ Wealth

Female Attractiveness = Appearance/10 - Relationship Status

Yeah, that's basically the size of it. :-/

So back to the fact that (honestly not trying to sound arrogant) I resemble all of these traits...there's obviously more to having a relationship than wit, size, and perception.

Honestly, there are dozens if not a hundred things I think people look for. And some they don't say. For example, I think what you find physically attractive plays more of a role than many admit, but looks also do not a good pair make. So...*shrug*

I hate this stigma that people try place on finding someone physically attractive. It doesn't make you shallow. It doesn't make you superficial. It doesn't make to typical. It doesn't make you immature, unintelligent or anything like that.

Personally (yeh I'm about to put this out there), anyone who has a negative view of someone who goes for someone based on physical attraction, is probably struggling with a personal insecurity....that's usually the case.

I take heart over muscles any day. Even over smarts.

The problem comes with putting physical attraction over all else. Paraphrasing Bull Durham ..."You got a million dollar [body] and a five cent head." Still leads to a lot of problems.

I had a professor that passed away in April that was married for fifty years. They weren't physically attracted to each other when they first started seeing each other. The most consistent things in any relationship are building one another in their relationships with Christ, and chemistry.Sure we all some preferences, whether big or small, but at the end of the day everything else really isn't that important.

I think physical attraction grows after you get to know someone's personality. Once you know more about them and find traits in them that you like, their appearance will appeal more to you as well. The problem is just getting past that initial reaction - and let's be honest, we all do it, because looks are what we see first. My best friend was not attracted to her husband at all when she first met him. She called him a goon. Now she calls him the most handsome man on the planet. It really is all about what's on the inside.

There's nothing more attracted to a guy who is in love With the Lord.
