pulse
*in edit - having read the rest of your post Princess - I'd be more than happy to have your body
well primcess..what we can see on avatar looks very pleasing on the eye I must admit...so can't see why you have a problem with that.
the thing it is all down to what you after. If its sex, then to be honest and port in a storm will do !!! Thou a pulse would be nice.
If you want more, or a regular thing, then that is when personality comes into play.
But those that say it has to be personality and nothing else are deluding themselves. when you looking over in a pub, club or even street, you don't stare and say..cor what a personality !! So there always has to be some sort of physical attraction.
Also I do have to say, beer can help in the atraction. As is often said " never been to bed with an ugly woman...but by christ I have woken up with a few "
Personality is the main thing, looks are second.
Like a friend of mins said, "I'd rather go out with an ugly girl with agreat personality than a stunning girl with the attitude of..... a fuckin blitch"
I know what he means, been there, had a truely gorgeous girl once, but hell what a bitch!
Initially just looking for the pulse and then the personality comes into play if you see them for a while. I have always been a believer that there is no such thing as love at first sight granted you can find somebody attractive but they might have a total crap personality initially its just lust.
Good question Princess and something I have thought about more than once. I'm don't think I hit EVERY branch of the ugly tree on my way down but I'm not Brad Pitt/Tom Cruise/etc either. As a species we are 'programmed ' to be attracted to healthy good looking members of the opposite sex (it's all to do with good breeding prospects apparently)
I think a common problem for most people is lack of confidence and a fear of rejection but if you can get to know someone then personality and a GSOH should shine through.
So with that I going to brush the leaves out of my hair, have a quick drink for courage and off I out go....Look out Oxford.
I suppose it's like the old saying:-
"You don't look at the mantlepiece when your stoking the fire".
However, once you have the fire going, you like to sit back and admire it, thats when a little more than a "pulse" is required.
First - a woman would do good works
Second - she would be kind to everyone -even 17 year old newbies pretending to be 23
Third - her stunning intellect and wit would dazzle us in her posts
Fourth - her pesonality would melt the hearts of even the mpst hardened
Fith - Her splling unt punctuation wud impress
Finally she had big tits, a tight pussy and shags to perfect bliss ...ahhhhh
Awww Princess, you look lovely. You do what you are comfortable with and when you feel comfortable to do it. The last thing you need to be doing is shagging someone just because they have been 'nice' enough to fancy you (story of my life when I was in my early 20s)
I find it's about how people hold themselves (get your mind out of the gutter), and how bubbly and confident they are. If looks were the deciding factor, Micky Rourke would never get laid.
No Burnie, Mickey Rourke is yummyyyyyyy. So is Harvey Keitel, especially in The Piano. That was when I realised I liked older men.
