The number 1 thing you look for

It's really tough to choose just one and even then it's liable to change depending on my sentiment. I say a warm smile... if they're white I like rosy cheeks.

Physically speaking the only thing that's of true consequence is not being overweight. (which has proven to be a hard thing to come by these days). I'm not talking about 5 or 10 lb overweight but like 50+. I once knew a girl who was crazy about me but in the XXL sizes and kept saying she'd try to put if off, but the fact of the matter is if someone's only motivation to loose wight and get in shape is attracting a mate (be it male or female) then there's a very high likelihood they'll put it right back on once they snag that person. I think we all know how common place it is for women to turn into blimps once they've got a ring on their finger after all. That's why it's important to find someone who's in half way decent shape, but for the right reasons. Of course that's not everyone, I know a guy who lost wight for a guy he had a thing for, and even though things didn't work out between them he decided to stay in shape all the same since generally you'll feel better on multiple levels when you're fit. A while back I almost got involved with a girl who was just a little overweight, and it wasn't that big of a deal but during the time I knew her it became clear from her lifestyle that she was only gonna get bigger over time. Wasn't the reason things didn't work out, but just saying. Seconding that there's things like having body piercings and tattoos (if that even really counts in the physical sense). Besides the fact that I find those things really gross and ugly, I really don't wanna get involved with the kinda people who are into that sort of thing. Of course I could always say smile/eyes or something like that, but I'd like to think most people out there are smart enough to see past politically correct bs like that.

For me, it has to be the eyes or the smile. ^u^ If not that, than it's butts. I'm a butt girl. Lol! >w<

Physically, the first thing I look at in a girl is her face and hair. I can't really describe what I like, but I know it when I see it. Other than that, obviously weight/shape will stick out. You don't have to be super model thin or anything, but you have to care enough to not die at 50. I exercise enough to maintain my current weight and keep cholesterol low or w/e. I expect the same in a potential partner. I also don't like any tattoos or excessive piercings. Ears are okay as long as you don't have 5 in each ear or something. Personality-wise, please someone that is able to take a fucking joke, even if it's something slightly offensive. You don't have to laugh, but at least understand that wit and humour do not necessarily reflect someone's personal opinion. Cocks in and/or around my mouth.

thesailingteacup, >(be it male or female) >I know a guy who lost wight for a guy he had a thing for, When did I say this doesn't apply to men? "Doesn't mean you have to date them, but sheesh they need a lil hope in this world!" I'm not sure how that's related to my personal preferences. On the off chance you mean hope as in a chance of dating me then thanks I'm flattered, but women aren't exactly climbing over each other to get to me. There are however tons of guys out there that don't care about weight so it's far from hopeless for plus size women. Also I stand by what I said about Tattoos and piercings being gross/ugly. This is after all about personal preference. You don't have to agree with it. I know that plenty of people (especially in the US) think they're hot/attractive, but I'm clearly not one of them. What's so bad about some random guy on the internet not liking what you're into anyway? I mean I sure wouldn't loose any sleep if some girl I don't know on the other side of the planet said she doesn't like guys who are into anime.

Uhm physically speaking: face, I want a man with a face and hair that can make me feel inspired enough to even draw him. I also like skinny guys or at least thin, not too muscular but also not too skinny. Maybe fit? Personality wise... I feel attracted to guys that can keep up with my jokes. Also, this is a complex one, I want someone on my level, really interesting and clever. Cunning and someone that can accept me for who I am. I'm tired of watching how guys are attracted to me just because of my face and then they get to know me and back off just because they don't get me. I won't change my expectations nor myself, I'm not expecting for everyone to do so. But I seriously want someone that I won't leave behind, mentally and successfully speaking. Someone that can surely walk next to me even when we are fulfilling our goals.

I don't need to date a twig/super model. I actually like a girl who has some curves and a bit "thick" if that's a term that can be used. But it gets to a point where too much weight is unattractive. I'm actually pretty happy with myself as I've lost 16lbs in the last 9 weeks going from 203 to 187. My goal is to hit about 175, which for a guy of my height at 5'8 is pretty reasonable. Weight loss is not easy, but just cutting out soda and a lot of the junk and exercising a bit over an hour a day has been a boon for me the past couple of months.

Well, the immediate first thing that I look for when I see a girl is their figure. If a girl has a figure I like the look of, I then take a good look at their face, hair and eyes and if I like what I see then I see what their voice is like, how they talk, the tone of their voice and how they word their conversations - same goes with their body language. And of course throughout the whole thing, I try to pick up on their personality and see who they are as a person. If I like all of those things about them then they've got what I'm looking for in a potential girlfriend. I don't expect supermodel qualities in their physical appearance, nor do I expect them to have the best personality as we all have our flaws (Although large and overweight women aren't my thing and if their personality is undesireable then it's a big no from me.) - if I like what I see in a girl and I personally find her pretty and nice then I'll find her attractive and I'll try my luck and ask her out.
