Default what makes u attracted to...

...the same sex? or if your bi/pan, both? what i mean is, what qualities do u like?

let me give u an example: the things i like about men and what i like in men, is what makes a man a man. i love the masculinity, the broad shoulders, big/strong hands, muscles, deep voice, etc... and it goes beyond the physical. i love the assertiveness and (usually in most but not all cases) the outgoing-ness that men have. hard to describe, but w/e.

and lets keep this clean, ok? lol

p.s.- i know my description doesnt fit all men, but hey, i like what i like!

Hard to define... And it depends very much of the guy in question.

Physically, I really like arms. There is just something about male arms, wrists and hands that I really find attractive.

Mentally I like how men usually don't pay a lot of attention to practical details and are more "that's cool! Let's do it!". So I guess that counts as outgoing.

Strange thing is that I don't really have masculine wrists or hands, and that I'm not all that outgoing. But opposites attract, I guess...

I just feel a I can from far stronger emotional attachment to females.
In a friendly way, I can form relationships with males, but it's only with females I get the romantic connection.

On a more physical side, I LOVE female waists.. I have a huge thing about waists, as well as hands, arms and lack of facial hair.

Hard one to define......

Physically I might get drawn to a person, but personality sends me away.. so personality is the key... Strong minded, caring, stable, controlled, outgoing, funny and serious, respectful, deep - can challenge my thoughts, be strong enough for 2 - but also needs support himself, emotional at times.

It's hard to say... I'm attracted to all types really, there's no specific thing which I could name. The only type of body/appearance I don't like is hyper masculine men. With men, I like their shoulders, and with women I like their necks and legs, I suppose.

I think it also varies from person to person. I everyone likes a looker. But I'm crushing hard on a guy right now. He's kinda skinny, but he has the most awsome smile. Honestly it can make your heart explode.

For me any attraction I have to a girl is on a phycological level.

For guys I like people who are positive, optimistic, deep, and romantic. Physically, I like muscular guys, but not huge bulging muscles, and little hair. But overall physical attraction isn't as important an phycological.

PHYSICALLY:

I guess I go for the "handsome" type-> well defined jaw line, nice pecs, pretty eyes (green/grey/blue preferably but brown eyes can be sexy too).

I also have this thing for blonde guys, don't ask me to explain.

That being said, hunky guys aren't really attractive to me. I prefer
skinny guys but that have a little muscle (a little!).

PERSONALITY WISE:

I will fall VERY HARD for the "Mr.Nice Guy" type.
Jackasses just aren't really my thing.

It's the full package. (And no, not THAT package - get your mind out of the gutter! You're messing up the gutter!) I find that I'm attracted first to personalities - good sense of humor, intelligence, good conversationalist. If I mesh with them that way, I start liking the way they look, too. It almost never goes the other way. I can't recall the last time I thought a guy was hot, and then tried to find out if they were an interesting person to me.
