What are you attracted to?

Maths is not a science.

Perhaps not, but it's closely related. Some theories can be proved and disproved and it's in a different field from what I study, and would be therefore attracted to someone who studies Maths. Engineering is not a science either, but contains components of it, that's why I included it. I don't just mean I would be exclusively attracted to only those who studied physics, chemistry and biology.

Hi people. I'm currently a journalism student writing an article about attraction. Please comment with your gender, orientation and what you find attractive in other people. Also, do you think there are certain things which everyone finds attractive? Can you make yourself more attractive to others if you tried?

female
straight
intelligence, a good sense of humour, taller than me, spontaneity is also really attractive and just all round being a fun guy

I have not got a great confidence in myself being attractive to others, but I'll always do my best and just put a make up on, wear nice clothes, just generally make more of an effort. It's weird I see attractiveness in other people as personality-based mainly, but visually in myself. Hadn't noticed that until this post.

Does that include someone who studies formal logic and the philosophy of science then? :wink:

Female, heterosexual

I'm attracted to guys who are smart, witty, sarcastic, funny, easygoing, with off-color humor but not childish. Meaning, he knows when it's appropriate to make jokes and when to be serious. I also like people who knows what he wants, loves animals, is independent, lives life to the fullest, occasionally sweet and kisses me like I'm in a movie.

Have I found him? Yup :smile:

Look wise, I'd say bear-like guys.

The one certain thing a lot find attractive is people with confidence who aren't too snobby.
And I wouldn't change myself just to please someone but to do it for myself.

Like I said, anyone in a relatively different field to me, is what I would tend to be attracted to. And while I'm no expert in formal logic and the philosophy of science, it certainly sounds quite different to my degree and intriguing, so I guess I would count that too.

How do you mean by the sciencey types/scientific background?

They either work in a scientific field or have studied science at college or uni. Even just having an interest in science is a good start though.

Female, heterosexualish.

I'm attracted to guys who have dark hair, stubble, broad shoulders and are tall. I find it really unattractive when it seems as if they spend too long thinking about their appearance - so no artfully tanned gym bunnies with perfectly sculpted abs but on the other hand I find a natural tan from working outside hot, while working out for strength and health is great. Character-wise, intelligence is a must, useful and interesting skills, sense of humour and a very open mind and willingness to try new things. It's important that he gets on with and understands my parents and family. I can't handle anyone who is excessive slobbish after I had a 4 year relationship with the messiest guy on earth.

Female, 18, I'm very open with my sexuality and don't rule out anybody-however I'm usually attracted to girls and for simplicity in a day to day setting identify as a lesbian.
Currently in a ldr with a girl from another country, I've learned brushing my hair before a Skype call tends to make me more attractive?��
Attracted to-kindness, intelligence, quirkiness, mature yet silly people with passion for something, who want to travel, who want to make the world a better place, typical romantic things, people who are open/honest about what they think/feel and are able to consider things from others' point of views

As for what the other desired gender is attracted to-for me it's usually that I'm quite sure of myself and what I want that seems to attract people, I'm not particularly pretty but I get approached in public a lot so I think it's a lot to do with the way I carry myself?

Maths is not a science.

It kind of is because Physics is a science and Physics is literally made up of maths.

Interested to see intelligence as being so important...I personally would rather be the more intelligent one in the relationship by a noticeable margin, but with her still being of a high level, just not quite at mine.

Beyond that, I am attracted to girls who are romantic, dreamy, optimistic, tight of ass, caring, adventurous, list goes on.
