Sense of humour is the top factor for me, somebody who likes to smile, laugh, whose eyes laugh. Has to be able to be serious though too, enjoy a good chat. Looks, I don't have a type, although I do have a fondness for a quirky grin.
Pretty much the same here for me. I do have a type of "look" though. I seem to like guys you could class as "a bit of rough"
I tend to live by the 'never date a man you could beat in an arm wrestle' rule.
Weird isn't it - you spend all your time clothed - then it's like the big reveal when somewhat like a trip to the doctors the clothes come off and you can no longer hide behind the smart clothes - you are being judged. Failure to meet expectations means you have failed the test.
This thread has taken an unexpected turn... Do people really have time to think about those things in the heat of the moment and in the mids of passion? By the time it comes to taking your clothes off, you've pretty much passed the attractiveness test and it's now about other stuff I never stopped and sat down to think about whether I like the guy's freckles. By the time we're in bed, I'm guessing it's a given that I'm attracted to him.
I'm just normal. With a so so personality, and plain looks, and a stocky...ish body. But I can cook, clean, iron, shop, dust, hover, live on a budget, and can even sew on buttons.
You should really sell the fact that you can hover. You're like a human helicopter. What woman wouldn't want one of those?!

Alternatively, switch the lights off
I think these are more from a relationship point of view.
Looks:
Medium height
Medium build (someone you can cuddle up to)
Mid length hair
Not too preened (I hate pretty boys, I hate waxed chests and too much hair product)
Personality wise:
Intelligence is a must
Good sense of humour (I like a Chandler sense of humour )
Responsible (Not one of this "WHEY LAD" boys).
Loyal
Doesnt take himself too seriously
Introverted (I'm quite introverted myself)
Open
Kind of quirky
Quite a lot of women seem to have a prerequisite lengthy list of
attributes she requires in a likely partner.
Seems much too "premeditated" for my taste. It's like blokes who'll only go out with blondes. Still it's a much shorter "list", which is something I suppose.
Looks (if so, what kind), personality, confidence, geekiness, manliness, unmanliness, having a certain look fashionable or otherwise? Humourous, serious, intellectual or fun?
Am I past it at 38 and more of an introvert who doesn't say much and with fading looks? And what age range do you date anyway?
Have the answers provided so far given you hope for the future, or thrown you into a deep pit of despair?

I don't think the list is that long. Nothing wrong with having high standards.

Perhaps that FM is merely describing their partner, not that those were the qualifications before she met him.
A young Sophia Loren wasn't blonde but she'd be fit enough for most men. No lowering of standards there, eh.
I would find it an unattractive trait in a woman who had such a tick list and viewed relationships in such a calculating way.
Having a type isnt really calculating, its just describing what you fancy.
I don't see anything calculating in this list.

Those aren't requirements (well barring the responsible and loyal). Those are just what I prefer in a guy. It's not like I meet a nice guy who is skinny (as an example) and say "no thanks buddy"
I don't know why you've chosen my post in particular but alrighty....
I like medium height because I'm very small, I like responsibility and loyalty because I've been cheated on, etc, etc.
I get quite alot of attention from women (even though happily married). I find honesty, open mindedness and confidence aswell as being handsome is a good combination, As well as the ability to dominate at times.
Ewww.

Can't predict physical attraction really imo; sometimes you just fancy someone who looks nothing like anyone you have fancied before.
But apart from that, someone with a reasonably positive attitude: I can't bear people who are a mass of vicious cynicism, always insisting that everyone else's motives are bad. Someone tolerant and kind and able to laugh at the life's inconveniences.
How horrible to go out with someone who was always in a rage because he has had to stand in a queue or because a waiter or shop assistant has got something slightly wrong.

Physically I like guys who stocky, tall, dark hair and eyes, luckily my boyfriend ticks almost all the boxes!

And the best thing is that when you're finished you can deflate her and put her back under your bed.
So it's less hovering Houdini more handy with a Henry? Oh well!

all the women I have ever fancied didn't like hairy chests. Which made me paranoid. Still I can think of worse things than being single with no kids.

I cant stand people like this.
If I knew one I'd be in there first....
Introverted AND open???
And to think we often complain that women are impossible to please.
