Gee... Well, I guess I'm attracted most to intelligence. I also like someone who I can share my interests with and shares similar views and personality. Obviously you don't want it too similar or else it would be very uncanny, but you don't want to be too different either, like there needs to be some common ground to some extent and someone who can respect you and all your quirks.

Looks aren't a total dealbreaker to me, what I have found kind of weird about myself is that depending on how someone behaves his physical attractiveness can either increase or decrease. It's weird.

Because the Dude's Guide To Manliness will only get you a Southern Belle in 1950s rural Georgia to go on a chaperoned date with you, whereas The Way Of The Chad will get you the sex appeal of a million James Bonds' rolled into a single beefy James Dean.

As I get older, I am finding that how someone acts is more important to me than what they look like. What I really want is a partner in crime so to speak, so the more I like a person as an individual, the more attractive the become.

I think there's someone out there for everyone, provided that each party sufficiently lowers their standards. Case in point: Bob and Barb. I doubt that Bob intended to shack up with a thrice-used Maury Povich munchlax, and I doubt that Barb set out to shack up with the Crypt Keeper's redneck cousin. And yet, it all fell into place that magical night due to some mixture of booze, desperation, lowered expectations, and possibly crippling loneliness.

The addendum to this though, is that it's probably a horrible idea to settle for less, since there's a huge downside to ill-conceived relationships. Case in point: Bob and Barb. It's probably better to be single and lonely than attached and miserable.

Nothing is as attractive as a person with a genuine sense of personal accountability. Everything else (trustworthiness, empathy, compassion, honesty, reliability, confidence etc...) usually falls in line behind that.

You can only listen to someone (even a really attractive person) talk shit on or blame everyone they know for all of their problems for so long before you start hating their face.
