What are some factors that influence attration. Well in other words, what makes you like somebody else as a lover or a friend?

Eyes and body language... you can know anything about a person from those two things

Personality is a big one. Seriously. There is DEFINITELY attraction without knowing a person, but the way the posture themselves, and their level of confidence (too low isn't great, but too high is at least as bad), and if they're someone I "click" with on a personality level, I will find myself more attracted to them than before. That aside, I don't really have one specific "type"; I find myself attracted to individuals who don't always have a lot in common with each other. Some loose trends include shorter men with more body hair.

I think similar interests is a good start...but evolutionarily you are supposed to be looking for a good mate...someone who will parent good children with or for you...but this is a GLBT site..even so..those are some of the reasons...a partner of good looks (usually signifies good health)..someone strong, capable...And also there is a theory regarding the chemistry of smell...that we are really attracted (subconscioulsy,perhaps) to the way that our partners smell...what pheremones they give off...I don't know...all I really know about attraction is that when it's there it's one of the most powerful forces in the universe.

The eyes usually get to me. Before I met my crush, I looked in her eyes, even if I haven't met her yet, I can see who she is coz the eyes can really tell u a person's soul. I can feel who a person is just by looking at their eyes. Call it intuition or whatnot, that's how I can tell if I like the person or not. I also go for the hair too, donno why, I just do. Maybe coz I can do a good french braid? Heheh. As for friends, yeah, I like a friend with a sense of humour. ;o)

What is attractive to me in others of the opposite sex is when they go out of there way to help others, genuinely good person with a good heart and also a nice smile can do it.

A well modulated voice, intelligence and education, good conversation, common interests. A nice tush wouldn't hurt.

its a chemical in our brains that creates LUST...once u feel u love a person even if they are ugly that means u are in love, and u have overcome the lust hence u have a friend or a love.

It's the same with gays/lesbians as it is with straight people. Don't you have male friends that your not attracted to?
