    So I thought it was curious to ask you guys about this. What type of people are you attracted to? Do you go by looks, personality, and etc?

    For me I tend to like guys that make me laugh and smile. I also like guys that share the same interest as my self. I personally don't go by looks even if they look goofy or nerdy like. As long as they're nice to me is all that matters. I kind of get annoyed when people look at the guys I pick and say "really?" when they don't look that attractive although they say that they will accept them.

    Looks are nice, but they aren't the most important thing for me. I try to go for girls that are athletic and share the same interests and have a somewhat nice personality (gotta corrupt them :P) and that have a good sense of humor.

    Someone who is nice and understanding, and won't yell at me or abandon me when my mental health isn't the best.
    Also being clean and helping out around the house :>

    I tend to be attracted to guys who are really observant and intelligent. Someone who notices things that most people would never even notice. I think its really sweet for a guy to look out for someone they care about. Having good morals and a nice personality is great too. I honestly don't think I could commit to a relationship with someone who cusses out of habit or is annoying. I also tend to get along better with someone with similar interests, such as distance running. I think if I were ever to fall for anyone, it would have to be someone I know who loves running and understands its significance as much as I do. However, the most important thing I look for is how they treat me as a person. If they love and accept me for who I am, that is more important than anything else.

    being gay is a good start

    I tend to like boys who can make me laugh and share my interests. If I don't have anything in common with them, or don't like to hang out with them, what's the point of dating them? I've never actually had a boyfriend, but I've got my fair share of unrequited loves. I also like to have similar music tastes, because what's a relationship without dancing terrible to your favorite song?

    Okay, but really, with sarcasm out the window, I think I'd just want a boy who can make me laugh and keep me entertained, and share a few interests with me. As long as we can be happy together and we both like each other, I think that's all that matters to me. Am I saying good looks aren't a bonus? No, I'd love a physically attractive boyfriend. But it's not going to factor as much against things like actual compatibility, you know?

    Someone who can hold an intelligent conversation. Small talk is out of the question.
    Personality-wise, I prefer the person to be a lot like me, but not completely identical. They must be able to take a joke, namely one surrounding dark humor. They must not be controlling, and throw a hissy fit if I did something that opposes their thoughts/views/opinions etc. I am not changing myself to make you a happier person, because you should already be happy for who I am; otherwise, why were you interested in me in the first place?
    The opposing individual must be understanding of the fact that I'm not the "lovey'dovey" type, and that I will need my personal alone time semi-frequently. If you induce drama in any way, shape, or form, that is the biggest turn-off to me. I will think you as a person who's easily offended, which is a feat I'm not attracted to.

    So, that's basically it in a nutshell; you just have to have the described personality for the most part, and at least half a brain so we can hold in-depth and meaningful conversations. It would be nice if the opposing person had similar interests to myself, but that would be setting the expectations a little too high. Just like video games, and we'll call it good.

    Like every single person on Earth, i start with looks And propotions. If the person is funny, mature, pretty, reliable, gamer, willing to try new things and is not afraid of physical contact, i am down. I dont much care for age differences.

    Also i would like a gym partner :3

    Well, this is an interesting topic for me, mainly because my views on this are seen as odd.

    I'd want a female who is not kind. She needs to have a backbone. I don't want someone who is caring and sweet, but rather someone I can think of as a freind and not have to act so restrained around them. They need to have a sense of humor, but they shouldn't take everything I say and agree with it. I want then to be oppinionated and diffrent, and not have them be the cookie-cutter example of a girlfriend.

    I like someone who understands me
    that's all
    like, I can be quite the conundrum sometimes, and I want someone who can read me like a book even when i'm mysterious and strange

    This is an odd topic for me. At this time in life, I'm not looking for relationships. In fact, I doubt I ever will be. I will, however, not push away an opportunity for a good relationship if it comes my way.

    If I were to be looking, I'd look for a girl who values morality higher than anything else. I'd look for someone who strives to always continue to be a better person than they were yesterday. I'd look for someone who practices blunt honesty, but not brutality in truth. I'd look for someone who would tell me how they're actually feeling, and not what they think I want to hear them say.

    If I met a girl like this, I'd ask her out so fast she'd get whiplash.

    Let me just say this: I'm not looking for a relationship. They are far too expensive for me, thank you.

    Anyways, let's see.... I'm probably one of the few guys where looks really don't matter much at all. I judge people, and I really always have, judged people based upon their personality. If they have no good sense of humor, then it's a no. If they are nasty or rude or mean, that's a no. They have to be kind and they have to have some sort of a sense of humor. I told myself that I'm going to marry based on personality, not looks. Because if you think about it, good looks where off a lot faster than a good personality.

    Thing is, I don't really get attracted to people. I've never really felt the need to have a relationship with anyone, and just don't feel that same attraction to other people, opposite gender or not. I would say that if I had to have attraction to someone, their looks would be far from the first thing I'd look for. What I look for in people is what they are on the inside. What kind of person they are, what interests they have, how well I get on with them and so on. But like I said, I just don't feel that connection.

    Relationship interest? What's that? Is it edible? o.O

    My life has been pretty solitary other than by siblings. I've never had a girlfriend for the 18+ years of my life, such a concept is alien to me (TwT)

    I go 99% by personality. The remaining percent is looks. By that I mean that if they gag-inducingly hideous, i couldn't date them even if personality was perfect. But, were that the case, i wouldn't be able too look at them, so it'd be impossible. Otherwise, the liking their personality makes the outside appear as beautiful as the inside. Inner beauty, a lesson taught by a Vulpix and two certain breeders from Kantoh.
    As for what kind of personality? They have to be okay with that there will always be a seven year old that could tell me to gtow up when i decide i don't need or want to be serious. I actually have had that happen. They must be able to handle the fact i HAVE to pop a pun or sarcastic comment in on occasion, even if they don't laugh. They would have too accept i larp (google nerolarp to see it before media mocks it) and that I'm a gamer. They must be kind, morally just (at least partially), and accept that I'm a Christian. I don't want a complete idiot or girly girl either. Maybe that's asking a lot, but if I'm getting into a relationship, i don't want a short lived one. If i wanted that, i'd hire Someone. It's a serious thing to be in a relationship

    I like a girl who is cute, funny and has a lot of character. I'd prefer some one that liked a lot of the same things that I do as well, such as Jojo, Pokémon or anything else. Some one that will make time for me and actually want to spend time with me as well, and won't be petty with me.

    I also like honesty - that's the best thing in a relationship and it is very important that you are honest.

    Well, personally, personality is a huge factor. Someone who's a little confident, loving, kind, and stable. Stability is sexy haha. Someone who can take care of me would be awesome, and goodlooks are always a plus (that is if I don't get jealous of all the girls fawning over those looks.) However, it's all about personality. I don't think I could stick around anyone who treated anyone awful, serious bullying is definitely a no-no. However, someone who really cares about what's happening around him, and not afraid of breaking those boundaries is absolutely amazing. Gotta swoop him up in a heartbeat.

    A bunch of my friends of my friends are in these weird, clingy relationships where they will not let each other go do things like go to dances without each other, under any circumstances. I'm sorry, but if I get dragged into this, it's a dealbreaker. A guy should know when freedom is a good thing.

    Personality. I don't focus on looks. I want a lot of things in a guy, that probably aren't realistic. In a nutshell, I want a guy who knows the value of hard work, who can make me laugh, who has a strong moral code and accepts that I practice premarriage abstinence.

    I focus much more on personality - if I fall for someone's personality it makes me like their looks, too. Hard for me to find someone attractive physically off the bat without actually knowing their personality first. Funny people are just wonderful aaaa my ex was monotone ): and that was very boring, someone silly who makes me laugh is a great way to complement me since I tend to be shy. Definitely wouldn't be able to be with a quiet guy that's too similar to how I am.

    Hmmm *taps chin thoughtfully *

    For me I would say a guy or a girl who is understanding and patient and would be there for me and let me be there for them. Mucking me around is a big no-no and setting me up is a major problem.

    Weeeell... I'm only 13, but I think I have a good idea of what I'd look for in a girl who I'd want to be in a relationship with. I've never actually been in a relationship, not close (Let's be real here though, who ACTUALLY gets into a proper relationship at this age, hell, let alone until they're around 18?), but still.
    First of all, I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty shallow. I mean, you won't expect much from a perverted teenage boy, but still. See, I don't consider myself or even any of my friends to be physically attractive, so I guess you can call me a hypocrite, but really, even if personality is what REALLY matters, I don't think I can appreciate personality much in a romantic relationship if she isn't pretty. And the bad thing is, well, my definition of pretty is pretty picky. See, I find it weirdly hard to find people who are notably shorter than me attractive. No, seriously. They need to be fairly tall, because, well, I'm tall. They need to not be either too chubby or too thin as well. Granted, I think slim is better than chubby, but really, as long as they're inbetween at least, I'm okay. One... particular thing a lot of men focus on is actually something I don't really care about. In fact, I'm kind of indifferent to 'that'. Also, whilst it matters a lot less than the other things said here, I do like long hair. But really, as long as the hair isn't REALLY short, I'm rather indifferent. And, uh... nice legs are quite good. A nice face is obviously a huge factor as well. However, I do know it's only human nature to be attracted to 'beautiful' people by instinct, but still, I do think I'm a bit too exclusive.
    But the they say is really important is personality. I'm again rather picky here. OBVIOUSLY, they have to be nice. I obviously care if they're nice to me, but even if they're nice to me and act cold to my friends and such, then that's a big NO. Another rather obvious thing is maturity. I may have a silly sense of humor, but I don't do thing like shout out in class, yell references to things like anime, and just act downright obnoxious frequently. (Like former friends who I ended up just leaving because of how they acted.) I also find being open to other views and opinions being important too. And of course, they have to be intelligent. I don't care if they're good in maths or watch the news (I do neither, and really, I don't try very hard to be anything above average a lot of the time in school), because intelligence goes a lot farther in that. You can't be too gullible, ignorant, etc.- I'm no super genius, but I'm smart enough that I don't fall for every trick people pull on me, and I don't act like a smartarse and say I know SO MUCH about everything. I just try to be fairly educated on things I'm talking about and such. They also need to have a good sense of humor. Quite frankly, I think I'm going to have severe issues actually finding a good partner for myself, because really, it seems that a LOT of girls seem to be turned off by things like dirty humor and dark humor. I know how stereotypical that sounds, but really, I hope it's just a phase or something for most women, because I've ALWAYS had a twisted sense of comedy, and really, I don't see that ever changing. I also don't like girls who... how do I say, USE their boyfriend. I mean the ones who can't open a damn car door by themselves when their 'beloved' (I doubt it if they're like this) is around. I mean, I try to do things like hold doors open for people (Common courtesy), and I'd be willing to do more things for a significant other, but really, I don't like people who have to rely on their partner. I like people who can argue for themselves. Don't get me wrong, I assist friends in arguments unless they tell me not to, and I have done things like slam a chair against this one guy who was being nasty to my friend in the cafeteria of my school, but I don't like girls who act all like "Ooooh, X is being mean to me, punch him!" No. I WOULD go to those measures if I seen my friend/potential girlfriend being harassed physically or extremely verbally (Otherwise I'd just argue as opposed to actually doing something physical), but come on, it's just pathetic if you have to rely on someone else to argue for you and come running to them. Also- Not a personality thing, but I just couldn't click with someone who wasn't interested in the same kinds of stuff as me (Nintendo being the big thing here). I would want to talk to them a lot, obviously, and let's face it, when you're with pals, why wouldn't you talk about things you like?
    So, uh, yeah. Long list. I'm well aware that love just COMES to you and it's uncontrollable, but I do think they'd have to meet my shallow criteria.
