me you ask...
well, I have been with my hubby for 7 years and I love him more ever day! He is similar to what Rainbow defined her boe to be... consistent, he has a good sense of humor, he is also a peacemaker, but he does have a stubborn streak. I used to long for him to have more passion, not necessarily with me (I seem to be the only thing he is passionate about, well and poker hehe) All that being said, I couldn’t imagine myself with anyone else!

Sharp, analytical, witty, dominant, outgoing/charming, nurturing, ambitious and open minded--I don't know which one is quality, which one is personality but i just threw them in there LOL
Most of the traits have helped keep balance in my relationships. The analytical part challenges my mind, the sharp part keeps me on my toes, the witty part make it fun, the dominant part keeps me from boredom, the charming part makes me melt, the ambitious, nurturing and open minded parts compliment mine. The most problematic one has been the charming part---not only did it make me melt, but so did the neighbor next door LOL...but I have always gotten a kick out of competition, so in the end...it's all good :)
You?
EDIT: Ms Sophi: Good thing you're married, or we would be fighting over the same guy LOL
EDIT II: Ms Sophi: you're a very classy and intelligent woman (don't speak 6 languages?), so I'm sure he's mutually lucky to have you :)

I tend to get along with anyone who shows the slightest glimmer of independant thought - even if I disagree with it. I have many long term friends, most of them are pretty eccentric:
A retired female pro wrestler
A 38 year old male virgin
A musician couple (our former band)
Various artists/musicians/vocalists from many genres
A very spiritual independant Christian couple
An NFL area scout and his family
An antique glass collector
A man with Speech Aphasia (can hear, but can't process intelligent sound)
Several fun, non-violent dysfunctional alcoholics who never got out of my hometown.
My family consists of a retired teacher, an inventor/engineer, a lawyer turned artist, a school admin, a retired jeweler, a small metal shop owner/operator, a (doctorate) monkey studier, an accountant, and an advert exec. I think that colors how I grew up and how I form relationships. I tend not to care about WHAT someone does being important, but who they are.
I find people who are more group than human less fun to be with - for example if someone was more "angry white guy" or "feminist" or "Catholic" or "Democrat" than "human."
I sometimes go years without seeing some of them, but when I do, it's like no time passed at all - instant repoire. That repoire to me is more important than the everyday details of what people do.

In a nutshell? Not to be cliche, but I adore the strong silent type. I tend to 'lay it all out there' and make my opinions WELL known, lol! I think that I personally, would get bored with someone like that (I can't believe I'm putting myself down, lol). The fact that my hubby keeps me guessing holds my interest for one. For two, when he DOES say something, people hush, listen closely hanging on his every word, and treat what he just said like it was the great swami revealing the truth of life. Remember that old commercial "When E.F. Hutton talks, people listen." I'm very attracted to powerful people, male or female. Not necessarily 'rich', but people who seem to be able to effectively, non arbitrarily, influence people. Mainly those whose opinions I respect of course. I wish I could get more of what I wanted without having to fight so hard for it! The Strong Silent Type, seems to radiate this quiet power. That's H.O.T.!!!!

He is intelligent, analytical, witty, ambitious, easy going, charming, nurturing and open minded. He also is an independent thinker, which is essential for me. He has his priorities in life straight and is very consistent.
He is my wonderful husband of last 17 years and the adoring father to our 5 yo daughter. His intelligence and analytical skills compliment my own. His sparkling wit keeps us laughing through some pretty serious stuff in our lives in last 17 years. He charms me out of my own dark moods with ease: he is a pro when it comes to smoothing my ruffled feathers. He is a great father, because he is nurturing and consistent. He supports my personal growth with an open mind and independent thinking. We enjoy pretty heated discussions on variety of subjects from time to time. He is also pretty pessimistic and thrifty. However, I live to inspire him. Smile.
Edit: Dear Lioness, I know exactly how fortunate I am in this crazy world. I also wish you the best in finding and keeping your own mister right soon.

I find the intellectual type of guy attractive (guess I'm a mind f@@ker), but I also like him to be funny. As I answered in your prior question, I also like consistency in a man. I try to be consistent, although I'm not generally, but my boyfriend is the same today that he was a week ago, etc.
I also want the exact opposite of any of the men I grew up with (father and brothers).

A thoughtful person. The type of person who has alot of their own thoughts and ideas but will listen to yours as well without being too easily converted. They might not agree but they will understand. A sense of humor is a must too.

Acceptable guys, as in smart, intelligent, good i.q. level, doesn't go around getting into trouble for being a jerk for no reason, not being the kind of person Judge Judy hates, being himself, having good hygenie, good manners, respect for people if they deserve it, having a good relationship with his family, not being into fake women that got their perfect bodies through diet pills, having a strong will so that he doesn't get used by the wrong type of people, and not having the wrong type of people as his friends.

A person with confidence, compassion, open to knew ideas and willing to continue to seek out new information and learn.
These are the men that I find attractive. Physical characteristics are merely, "icing on the cake".

What does personality have to do with being attractive? Personality is only a key consideration when you are looking for a wife, but not so much girlfriend...
Ok, but ideally: sweet, honest, caring, sensual, sharp-witted, classy, elegant, sophisticated, positive, and on and on and on... i could go on all day...
