Intentions determine attraction?
When someone is just looking to hook up, obviously there is a different approach involved in what appeals to them. You’re not that concerned about intelligence, sense of humor, or kindness. It’s pretty much all about whether or not they “do it for you” in terms of attraction.
If you actually want to meet someone that has potential, hopefully your attraction will go beyond the superficial things like their body or their face. Interestingly enough there was a study published that described the way we select mates when we want short-term or long-term connections.
Do you consider a person’s body (height, stature, etc.) before you look at their face? What if you are looking for a real relationship? Do you prioritize importance of body and face in a different way?

@simple.. Now I guess Noone is going to admit that they have, at the very least, Done the deed with someone that was not high on the attraction meter…
When i was in college, way back when, i absolutely did do this guy who was very nice, really smart, had a helluva body, but was just butt ugly in the face, including mashed up teeth. he was an excellent lover and i did him twice, but it was truly only for the sex. The only other person who knows is one of my classmates who never fails to bring up that ish every time i see her which is about once a year. She loves to bring that up and then just dies laughing, because the guy was just soo unattactive and not typically the type i woule be with.

The great thing about Mad-Lib’s, though, Melo — particularly Mad-Libs written by me — is that, when in doubt, there is one word (forbidden on the ol’ blog) that can actually be morphed into just about any part of speech… So, you could just plug that word in for all of the blanks & you wouldn’t be far off…

kimmie, ok we don’t need the friends we can just exploit the benefits.
I will admit to having a friend with a super awesome body, but her face left something to be desired. It was purely sex but she started falling in love, but she put so much emphasis on sex all of the time I just knew she was a whore. Once I realized the reality of it all, I left her alone. I know somewhere some guy is getting some good sex.

kimmie, well let’s not be friends and just exploit the benefits portion.
Simple man I messed with a girl once who had a super awesome body but the face left alot to be desired. The sex was great and she would do any nasty little thing that would come to mind. I mean she was fine and very freaky, but I would not take her anywhere in public. She started to fall in love and i led her on just so I could continue getting the great sex. The one day I just realized that it was bad for me and I left her, because she was just a promiscuous sex toy and I no I wasnt the first nor the last guy she would be easy with. I know some guy/guys somewhere are getting some goodloving.

@Yes ~ last week the MLBs started taking blog wifes. PR was greedy and wanted a blog, along with 2 of the WLB’s as FWBs. Today, PR is filing for divorce because the mate he chose has been keeping it real and continues to do the “playette dance” (picture George Jefferson and Janet Jackson trying to outdance each other). He can’t tame her so he’s leaving her. SimpleMan is trying to get ARed to be his, but she’s leary mulling over things in her head.
Does this help you any?
