I'm not asking which two characteristics you're looking for the most...or which two characteristics you think are (or should be) the most valuable in a partner...I'm just talking those first characteristics that seem to catch your "attention" the most...as well as the attention of your heart and your, um, body (heh)...you're just drawn to guys who possess these two qualities more than any of the others listed.

So out of the list below, which two characteristics seem to always get you paying more attention to a guy the quickest?


Sense of humor
Looks
His job/career
Intelligence
Cockiness
Shyness
Sincerity
His clothes
His voice
Shows you immediate and constant attention
Shows you almost no attention
Artistic/Talented
Athletic/Active
Being a gentleman
Being a "bad boy"
Take-charge type
Romantic
Older man
Younger man


Which combination of two would be like kryptonite to you?...lol

Sense of humor (<-- I'm cheating here, 'cause I don't generally think people are funny unless they are wicked smart. . . two-for-one)

Sincerity

there's too many to just list two!!

Sense of humor and Intellegence are key for me.


Shyness or cockiness are my kryptonite. Too much of either creeps me out.

I'd agree! And that's after I've had a chance to check someone out and spend time with them.

But if I'm being completely honest, the 2 that grab my attention are clothes and voice. Not that I'm looking for a particular look, just that when I see someone well put together, no matter what the style, it draws me in.
And the right voice can make me melt, no matter what is being said.

Clothes and voice...interesting..

Byron said:

especially for you! you and your sensually deep voice...

These 2




These scare me




This is always nice

SammiJ said:

...Well, I meant it as interesting that Carrie picked that combination...I don't know why but I would have expected sense of humor to be one of her choices. I kinda like that it wasn't...

Byron said:

Well... I did agree w/melissa on sense of humor... and on another day, I may have said just that. lol. It's top 3 for sure.

Sense of humor
Intelligence

Hands down

I know!!

SammiJ said:

She said it!!...

Byron said:

naughty

for me, sense of humour, looks because of the initial attraction, I'm not saying that they have to be good looking but we all look at person and either find them physically attractive or not, which is largely subjective.


definitely intelligence.

Byron said:

SammiJ said:

and artistic!

Byron said:

LleeLlee said:

Tractors don't figure into the equation, huh??...

TMPletz said:

Wait, do they have that in large??...

SammiJ said:

...I was wondering when you'd notice that one, hun...lol...I added it in for you...

Byron said:

why thank you

By the way, I was on another message board site earlier this afternoon, and a talk was going on about some guy in Florida and his MySpace profile..lol...anyway, someone in the thread said a generalized statement of "The types of guys most women go for initially are the ones who are (blank) and (blank)"...I was curious if he was right..

So far, though, on this thread he's pretty much wrong...lol

Great thread idea!

For me, the two characteristics would be:

Artistic/Talented (I love artsy men, they rock! )
Sense of humor (can't stand men who can't laugh at things that are funny)
