We Love 'em....we hate em....But Why?
What is it about certian guys that we just can't
get enough of?
And what about those Celebrities? Those hot guys
that you KNOW you will never meet, but you think they are
cute, or wonderful anyway?
Ladies? What IS it about these men????

I don't know. Some men are cool, but for the most part, men seem to be
socially inferior to women.

Sex is the main factor here, I think...isn't that why we cannot get enough of
them? It is certainly sex appeal with regards to those celebrities, and even
those guys that are within reach, but so gorgeous that they are intimidating...

I remember a notorious ladies' man who, when I was trying to be social,
told me not to worry about it ... he'd found that men aren't as interesting
- in a social or emotional sense - as women are. I didn't agree, though I
saw the trends his beliefs had come from, and could sympathize. I'm pretty
sure I won the debate - we talked for two hours.

You think that men are more interesting socially and emotionally than
women are? Hmm. Sounds like a topic worth a good argument.

Hey...wait....this item...oh bother...
Anyhow, I agree with adania....sex appeal is a factor.
But I also think that eyes hold a lot of weight.
If I look in a man's eyes and see nothing, I can't find myself attracted to
him or even wanting to be in his presence.
A human soul so empty that their eyes give it away frightens me.

Yes, I think eyes are very nice. I've never found sex appeal to be all
that big of a deal, unless they were also quite nice. (I am, of course,
(well, not of course, but I am anyways) referring to females, not males,
but I was under the impression that this item was directed more at the
opposite sex, rather than at just males. If I'm wrong, sue me. :)

I *love* eyes, but I am directly, I mean *directly as in magnetic pull*
attracted to a man with a great sense of humor. If someone can get me rolling
on the floor, laughing so hard that tears are rolling down my face, then he
is an *immediate* candidate for a night out with birdy! =) I also like guys
who can babble as much as I can...I hate awkward silences, and it's easier
to get to know a person if they love to talk!

It seems like women are heavily influenced by physical characteristics,
much as men are. Thats why guys like Fabio, and Lucky Vanous (the guy from th
e Diet coke commercials) and Antionio Banderas
make the big money. We men dont stand a chance unless we have
muscular torsos, flat stomachs and tight butts *sigh*
Some sexists (not me) believe women are less inclined to look at
personality and inner characteristics in men than men do in women.
Antonio Banderas could have an IQ of 40 and still get most women.

Hmmm....well, I don't think physical characteristics are the ultimate, but
I also do not consider eyes a physical characteristic. It's not just the
color, it's the way they use them, the way they express themselves with their
eyes. It tells a lot about a person.
Honestly, Kerouac, if I had teh chance to be with any of the men you
mentioned, I would choose not to be. They don't interest me. *shrug*
If we would like to switch gears....characteristics I like in a man...
I like a man who is responsive to me. Someone who will understand and accept
that no means no, whatever the reason I say no. Someone who will listen to me
whine about the world and will in turn whine about the world. Someone who can
teach me something. Someone with direction. Someone who is himself.
I don't want some empty body with no soul inside.

"Are you strong enough to be my man ... ?"
(Good song; it's about as honest as I've heard in songs)
A friend of mine one asked me if I could name the one characteristic
that I found most attractive ... and after thinking for a minute ... I had
to say "the ability to inspire".

That's a rather interesting thought, Jazz...
I think I'd agree with you on it...
I need someone who can stimulate me. Someone who is always willing to try new
things. Someone who understands the art of inspiration. Someone who actually
realizes that inspiration is an art in of itself. :)

For me, someone's ability to inspire is closely ties with their ability
to live artistically ... it's hard to explain and I've had to :em this
response a few times to get it right ... but there are some people, just to
see them, or to talk to them, it's like waking up, and things feared become
laughable imps, and impossible tasks possible.
Thanks, anyways. :)

True. I think it has to do with willing to try something crazy every once
in a while, just for the hell of it. I've only ever found one person who
was willing to do more crazy things for no reason at all than I was, and
he has been my best friend for going on four years.

I'd agree that's something everyone has ... but not everyone has
the same amount ... or makes the same uses of it ...
