I get hit on pretty much every time I go to the grocery store. It's almost always by an elderly Irish woman that I can barely understand, but that still counts.

I can crush on anyone especially if they are shy. There's something very endearing about a shy, nervous, smart guy.
Endearing. Also: captivating, charming, fascinating, intriguing... the list goes on! And if the guy also possesses a keen wit, is a professional listener, and has great taste in music, I'm a goner. Nice eyes don't hurt, either!
I develop crushes on guys who make me laugh & inspire me to think and dream. Basically, if a guy who is introverted, smart, and cultured engages my brain and tickles my funny bone, he will make me swoon... Whether it's a Hollywood type (John Cusack), a musician type (Colin Meloy), or the guy next door, the result is always the same: instant smitten kitten.
I'm no expert on women, but the fact someone as unattractive as myself was able to land such a beautiful girl is proof, that in the end, to the girls that matter, personality wins out over looks. If a girl picks looks first, then she's probably not worth the trouble anyways. If you're having problems approaching women, I find its best to just approach them as friends, and if there is a mutual attraction, things will progress from there. Be yourself, and you'll be fine, unless you're a douche.
Amen to ALL OF THAT, eap! Deep down, we all just want to feel like we're 1 in a million & have the fairy tale ending.
Pmo: I couldn't agree more w/your wise words. The outer package is liable to change (sometimes often with age!); the things that truly matter in a person are far more important to focus on.

I know that looks aren't everything, but don't you at least have to be attracted to someone in a physical way?
I wasn't overly attracted to my last ex-g/f. I dunno why, since she was cute and really fun & kind. But at first I could tell she was into me and I wanted to be an awesome single-life-having lady killer in NYC. The life my forefathers fought and died to provide me with, but I ended up falling really hard for her. It wasn't physical attraction that did it (but it turned out she was a little hottie with no clothes on, so that helped), it was everything else. We connected on many levels, had many shared interests, and the longer we dated the more beautiful she was to me.
But fairy tales are for four year-olds and she cheated on me. BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD.
^ Yes, but... here's my theory (and y'all all know I have a thousand theories & analogies!)
If a person's a physical 10 with nothing of substance under the surface, then their overall value can only diminish, never improve...whereas a person who's a solid 5/6/7 on the outside (who has all the other traits you want) will become a 10 in your eyes as you discover all their traits that aren't readily visible on first glance. If you fall in love with looks, that's not much to fall back on when looks fade...
That's just my two cents' worth. I'd take a smart, charming, thoughtful 6 over a chiseled abs 10 any day of the week and twice on Sunday. But that's just me...
EDIT: Flanzo, you proved my point... sorry to hear the ending sucked.
I know that looks aren't everything, but don't you at least have to be attracted to someone in a physical way?
Yes. Absolutely. I went on a date with a guy last year that I sat at the pub with for 2.5 hours. TWO and a HALF. We were just chatting and talking and having a grand old time. But there was ZERO attraction on my side of the table. So we parted ways, no bigs.
That said, I'm sure that you could have no attraction to someone at first, then as you spend time with them and get to know them maybe something sparks.

I got burned by immediate fireworks...damn near burned my emotional house down. Now I'm a convert to the slow, steady simmer of a lasting, raging fire.
I rarely go for "hot" guys. I find if they do have the aforementioned chiseled bodies or classically good looks, I am not attracted to the guy. I'd take an average to good looking guy any day. Just because I don't call the guys I've dated "hot", it doesn't mean that I am not attracted to them.
I am often told that I date "below" me (if you were to put everyone on the attractiveness scale).
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

</mixed metaphors>
clarification: I require some fireworks to proceed into said relationship, then the slow, steady simmer of a lasting, raging fire is required to get back to the fireworks occasionally. ...or more often than not. whatever blows your skirt up.

Hollie I completely agree. But let's remember that attraction is relative too!
I've gone out with guys where there has been zero physical attraction, and I'm not talking like "oh they weren't hot enough" or "he doesn't have a six pack". There just wasn't attraction, and I don't know why exactly, it just wasn't there. I've also gone out with guys that I find attractive but others may not.
I guess what I'm saying is yes, I want a dude that's smart, funny, witty, etc. BUT, I also have to be attracted to him within the first few hours of meeting him. Like mayo said, instant fireworks!
