What makes you attracted to the opposite sex (personality wise)?

Being able to make me laugh. Not a little giggle here and there, but really being able to get me to bust a gut regularly. If you can do that, well… lucky you…

Humor.

Those who aren’t pretentious, egocentric, nor lazy slobs.

Down-to-earth, a sense of adventure and kind are a must!

I love people who can hold a good conversation, who make me laugh (and that can be a challenge), and who have a good sense of who they are and were they are going. They have to be kind and understanding.

@MyNewtBoobs EXACTLY….He has to have a wicked sense of humour.
Not afraid to say what’s on his mind but say it in an appropriate way… thoughtful and VERY romantic…
Also, he should be respectful of my personal space and know and adapt to my different moods,,,be able to adapt to the different situations in life.
And he has to believe and trust in himself…

Now there is excellent boyfriend material…

Confident rather than arrogant.
Quieter rather than louder.
Intelligent but not haughty.
Generous but not showy.
Sensual more than sensational.
Humorous more than clownish.
Sophisticated but natural.

Someone who accepts me for who I am, and believes me when I say things. For example, I don’t care for traditional romance. I don’t want a huge Valentine’s Day celebration. I don’t want any contact with anyone on my birthday – really. If you think I’m doing that double-speak thing that “women” do, and I really do want to celebrate V-day and a call on my birthday, at best I will be insulted. So someone who understands that just because I am a woman doesn’t mean I fit all the molds about “women”.

I like someone to be smart: knowledgeable on most subjects, well-read.

I love someone to have a sense of humor: to be witty and to get my jokes.

Intelligence. Nerdiness.

That’s about all I really need.

A burning curiosity

I love women who are funny, and self-deprecating. They are usually very light and casual.

I like men with the guts to stand up for what they believe.
I like creative thinkers with a good sense of humor.
Smart,confident men are the best.:)
Romantic men,,,,sigh….

Someone that is always willing to try and learn new things. Like @marinelife, someone that is knowledgeable and well-read. I want to be able to grow with that person. Humor is extremely important, with me. I want to laugh. I’m talking, full-on laugh, not a polite giggle.

I also like a man that isn’t afraid to get dirty and can fix things. My previous marriage, I felt like the man. I had the tools and I fixed everything that needed fixing. Not that I won’t now, I still fix things, but usually, my husband beats me to the punch; or, we fix it together.

At this point in my life, I realize that I am really only equipped to date one kind of person: Male gamers who are a little shy and a little socially awkward though not too much so.

I am very attracted to this kind of guy so I’m perfectly happy to date him specifically, the awesome one I got now but even if I really wanted to date another kind of person, I do not think I would know how to date someone who was not a male, quiet, slightly anti-social gamer.

Good sense of humor, relaxed, insightful, non-materialistic, but quality oriented. Good eater.

Someone with a bizarre sense of humor. I wuold generally like someone who I could tease a bit, be teased by, pal around with, and laugh with. Whether we laugh at something together, or if we make eachother laugh, it’s something that is crucial for me in a woman.

Oh, and she has to love Quentin Tarentino.

I like competence. Is that personality?

A person who has a real sense of who they are and what they want to do with their lives and does it in a way as to not step on people on the way up.
Genuine kindness and humor.

An aura of calm self-confidence and the strength to conquer anything.

The life of the party. Someone that can hold a conversation with farmers, politicians, anyone really. Even Charlie Sheen. C’mon, that’d be difficult. just sayin’

He’s charming, intelligent, funny, protective, a musician, loves the outdoors but can also spend an afternoon on the couch and not feel guilty about it, and is not afraid to go grocery shopping in sweatpants.

I got really lucky when I found this guy! =)

@jonsblond You found Charlie Sheen and you feel lucky about that???

um, ....no.

so many great answers!! :)

Strong Personality and confident but not arrogant and thinks that he is above anyone else, and he can make up his own mind and doesn’t go behind what everyone else thinks,kind,smart, funny, relaxed and loves to enjoy life and have fun, and has a charming personality.

Oh she must be funny, fun loving, spontaneous, chilled out…....basically a fully subscribed member of “Kool & the Gang.” Fortunately my wife has all of these attributes, happy days!

aww, @ucme is in lurve…..

pure intuition!!!

I appreciate the practical straight to the point conclusions I get from him. Sometimes I over think a problem, where he can usually cut straight to the chase. Can’t say this is true for all guys, but it is for mine. Also, the sense of humor keeps me on my toes and laughing.
