What makes them attractive?
Women can never predict who will be attracted to them. Sometimes I am so confused when a guy asks me out because I wonder how he decided I was his type?
Aside from looks, what makes a woman attractive to men? I think a lot of women believe that good looks are enough to keep a man interested. Obviously it keeps them interested for a period of time, but something else keeps them around.
What is it about women that makes women irresistible?
Ladies, what is it about men that you find irresistible besides looks?
What keeps you interested and willing to open up yourself to another person?

Good morning.
I’m attracted by his appearance first and foremost, his smile and his scent. Then, his personality and conversation.
I went to a party after work on Friday. After being there for about an hour, I spotted a coworker of mine and he spotted me. He was helping serving the drinks that’s when I spotted him. I went to get a drink and gave him a polite, friendly hug. As I stepped away, this woman was standing right next to me with a smile on her face. He introduces us and says this is ____________, my wife. I hugged her too. I laughed inside because she got out her seat with the quickness to find out who this strange woman was hugging her husband, and he quickly introduced her with the title she deserved. I immediately thought of you guys and laughed to myself.
Welcome halo46 Your full name will be used in the beginning, but will be reduced to halo at some point (lol).

Leggs – What’s up with the guy from the Eschelon….your coworker? I thought he was not bad looking. Not a bad body either. Y’all hooked up? He was checking you out…lol He looked sort of young though.

brat ~ “i’m a stickler for keeping all of my environs neat;” exactly. How hard is it to pick up after yourself. Swiss I don’t know man, the way she is coming across as if she maintains herself and everything else car/house falls casualty to her beauty upkeep(hair,dress,shoes). On the flip side she is fun as heck to be around. And no 90 day probation period has been handed down.

Just remember The Belly-Button Test, and you’ll be fine.

“That belly button test is comical at best.”
Leggs — Are you doubting the voracity of The Belly-Button Test?
Mmmm hmmm… Bet you’ve had the test performed on you. 
How many times when a dude has gone down below for the first time did he just dive right in? And how many times did he gradually work his way closer & closer to the honey pot? You think all that build up was entirely for your benefit?

swiss – Update me on the belly button test again. Does it mean smelling the navel and if it stinks then the honey pot is a sewage pot? Or does the guy just go as far as the belly button to perform a quick CT smell test?

Slim — Belly Button Test is actually a bit of a misnomer. What it actually entails is just slowly — very slowly — moving closer & closer to the CT, taking long deep breaths along the way, and at the first hint of danger, fake a hammy pull and ab-ort!

Swiss my older brother use to tell us long time ago to warm up the engine first and see if there were any unnecessary fluids or odors coming from the engine to tell if you had a lemon. I remember my first lemon, it was such a bad experience.
Leggs, no she works in the building different company. I will never date co-workers again.

Mr. U – So what did you do when you realized you had a lemon? Did you pull an excuse to get up out of there or did you go through with it and just took 4 showers when you got home? I know that has to be uncomfortable telling someone they smell like tarter sauce and Cap’n D’s

Hi y’all. I’ve been away and only have a moment now but wanted tos tep in.
Interesting topic. I’m VERY pragmatic about it. As the wise old Indian said in “Little Big Man”, “Sometimes the magic works, sometimes it doesn’t”. Honestly I have given up trying to understand chemistry. I have had times when I thought things were great and couldn’t wait for round two and the Dear Rand letter, email, text, comes. I’ve seen times when we both wanted to throw money on the table five minutes int the meal and drive 100 miles an hour to who ever has the closest bed, and I’ve seen times when the lady dragged me to the BR and me thinking “slow down, dayum woman”.
My point is that for me at least, to hellz with analysing, just go with the flow
Oh and for y’all who were nice enough to comment on the recent demise of my last relationship, several new ones have developed that seem promising! All ways another train pullingin to the station

That was the problem, I never experience that before and we were at my apartment in my bed. So yeah I went through with it half heartedly and eventually asked her to leave. Meaning she laided there in my bed. I was such a punk gentleman for that one. I ended up falling asleep on the couch.

So, looks aside – wit, intelligence and manners.
Another keeper quality, she doesn’t let me run amok but still lets me be me.
She must be able to drive with a clutch and drive well/properly.
She must love dogs.
I’m sad, my LTR is over. I secretly always wished my LTR and I would grow old together. I’m afraid to tell her how I feel because I don’t want to change her life because of my feelings. This move is huge for her career and she deserves this opportunity. She’s moving to Russia in a few weeks – right before Gumball3000 – hope I can keep it together.

Ummmm HST, no lie, I almost typed you up a few minutes ago with a “random.” I tried on a pair of Jimmy Choos Saturday. Any chance you want to spring for that pair…for me? The price tag (for you) was a low low $525. Black patent peeptoed wedgies
No chance??

I think they look better.

Mr. U — Hey, man, I’m sure most, if not all, of us have been there at some point. Hell, my first va-jay-jay smelled like Sea World during an August heat wave.
But it was my first, so I didn’t know any better. Plus, I was in full-on puberty & h0rny as heyal, so I wasn’t going to be the one to look a gift puddy in the mouth. 
With age comes wisdom.

Randyt – I was at Phipps looking for a pair of skinny heeled pointed toe 2.5 inch heels pumps. So went “ventured” down by Gucci and Sax and a couple other stores. I have nothing but high heels and wanted a break from that. Chile, I was just trying them on. I bought a pair from Belts, the old dependable inexpensive standbys…Calvin Klein. But I’ve never tried on JCs so I decided…why the heck not.

At the end of the day, it is the feet and toes that have to carry the process when the JCs and the Manola Blohniks come off. I may have just a little bit of a foot fetish

You should be able to smell that before clothes coming off I would guess. But hey, I ain’t a dude and ain’t been that close to anybody’s coochie but mine and my kid’s….and that’s cause I’m her mama

speaking of smells – I think that odor eaters commercial where the kid pushes the recliner (with pops and his smelly feet in it) to the window is too cute. I still laugh every time I see it. in my day I know countless men who had to leave their shoes outside the house.
