What first attracts you?

Looks, first thing. Personality should follow or I won't be interested, but looks are the very first thing.

Usually the looks are what pull me in first. But if I end up getting to talk to them and they're nothing but a jerk or someone who acts fake, or just simple someone I'm not compatible with I just stop there.

But there have been people I've noticed first with their personality. It kinda depends on the situation and how things go.

Humor definitely

If someone is funny enough I couldn't care less what they looked like.

I think humor intertwines with intelligence so I'd say they're the same

A combination of things. Most important to me are sense of humor and kindness, and then to some extent intelligence.

Looks can pull you into range to find out about personality, intelligence, etc. But it's pretty difficult to sense someone's IQ from across a room. Something has to interest you enough to find out the rest & that is usually something to do with looks, but can also be their demeanor. I can be drawn to someone just because of the way I see them caring for & interacting with an animal. Kindness is a big lure for me, as is wit & humor.

Smile! Then, of course, other things.

Smart and a sense of humor is way more important than money or looks. Looks fade and I can make my own money.

Lately I've been going for looks but that's because I don't actually want to be attached to anyone. when I'm really looking the guy has to be halarious.

Physical attractiveness is nice, but if I went solely based on that, I'd probably only be attracted to women.

Out of these choices I would say sense of humor gets me most. If a guy can make me laugh that's a huge plus in my book. Intelligence also helps but it's not the first thing I look for.

Initially, I go for looks as a basis. I'm not going to try to fool myself to believe otherwise

Other than the obvious personality being a must, I would choose intelligence. I just love it.

It starts with looks and if the person is an asshole, then I'm not attracted anymore, but it's not a problem if they aren't smart.

at first I have to like the appearance of a guy - don't care for slobs. then once we get past the initial hello conversation, he's got to have a brain & sense of humor.

You see people first. If you think they are not attractive you probably won't find out if they have a sense of humor or money or are smart.

I guess looks first, as I may see someone before talking to them and knowing anything about their personality. I do like certain body types.

Looks get me interested, but to be attracted he has to be smart and funny...which my man has all three, I'm so lucky to find him!!

I actually studied the science of attraction in college. What I learned is that we THINK we know why certain people attract us, but the reality is, it happens at an unconscious level, as the result of pheromones. Then, AFTER we realize we're attracted to someone, we rationalize why, like looks or sense of humor or whatever.

I know a lot of people will reject this answer, but it's the reality of how we work.

I notice the way the man carries himself.

I like a man who wears clothes that actually FIT him and who doesn't think he's something he's not.

Like those wannabe "gangstahs." They aren't in any actual gangs, but they walk around like they got one leg shorter than the other, wearing clothes 5 times too big, talking like they have marshmallows in their cheeks. Instant turnoff.

The second thing I notice is how he treats the people around him. Is he controlling or does he respect the feelings and boundaries of others? Is his sense of humor actually funny or does it come at the expense of others?

I find these things important because it usually is a pretty good indication of how he will treat me. If he walks around like he thinks he's hot shit every day, he usually thinks he's hot shit in a relationship. If he cares about how he treats others and takes care of himself, he is more conscious of my feelings and is more open to communication.

I like to know people before I date them. I love the mind.

It's really complicated. I mean, of course I immediately noticed that my girlfriend was really pretty when I met her, but she has a serious presence. She comes in and you can tell that she's hilarious and confident and smart and talented.

Personality does it for me. In the looks department, you could pick up what seems like a overall sweet hot guy, then when he thinks it's alright, he's a downright abusive jackass. Then there could be the chubby hubby that people would think opposite of, but come to find out he's the biggest sweetheart you could ever know.
