Attraction and Interest about the opposite gender can vary depending on several factors like, personal interest or taste, societal and cultural influence and so on. What draws one person to another might be unique or complex. We all have different preference about things in general and that includes the ideal man or woman.
Personally, I have been influenced by some men and the things I like about them is their personality traits. There were certain qualities that makes them special to me.
First is Intellectual and Creativity. I like it when a man has a strong passion for learning, ability to think and make wise decisions. Critical thinking, analytical skills. Ability to identify and solve problem. When I see these qualities in a guy, I usually have a feeling of getting closer to you in order to be motivated and influenced by such person's character or behavior more. I personally love learning and trying out new things. Hence, it wouldn't be bad if I learn one or two from such person. Also, I read and learn people's opinion a lot. So, it makes me approach such person, to get ideas, advice or suggestions about some certain things. The man would seem to me like a confidant.
There are much things to say but I guess another thing I also love is the emotional connection I have with an opposite gender. A guy's kindness, empathy, compassion, positive energy and enthusiasm means a lot to me. When he is ready to listen and support in any way he can. It shows he is much concerned about everyone around him. It might not necessarily be in monetary support but there's a deep sense of connection when a guy shows up for you. Of course, there will be a clear respect of each other's boundary.
On the Physical attribute, there's this sense of style I like about guy's that comes with originality. It's probably because I am not so complex with dressing and appearance. I appreciate the natural state of a person generally. It does mean that I dislike creativity or any other fashion sense. I just love simplicity and originality. A warm smile and an average height would be a great one too.
First impression they say lasts forever, dressing and appearance means a lot to me when I'm meeting someone for the first time. I'm too quick a judge of a person's character. It might not be accurate but it used to go a long way in dealing with such person.
That will be the little I will be talking about the things I love about the opposite gender.
