yeah those that stand out in the crowd can get my attention but it does not always sustain my interest. some people just sustain my interest on them no matter how many years has passed and that really mind-boggling for me. as i can't still figure out exactly what they have that have such a hold on me .

this will be a hard question cause sometimes i do get attracted to a person with none of the qualities i usually look for. but i guess when a person has some charm no matter what his qualities that you will attracted to it one way or another.
but for one, i do get attracted to people who seem to act dignified and have a class. i don't know why. but when they act suddenly like a cheap person i just get turn off somehow. but that does not mean that i don't get attracted to cheap acting people or even just average. i do fall in every kind of people actually. is just that i do get more attracted to people who seem to have such a class in them that i admire so much that i want to look at them for a long time and think more of them. i just like get drawn to them. like they have this certain power on them that makes me want to act like them and be just like them in lot of ways

warm and sincerity are traits that i like most. but i am not good at knowing if a person has those . so even if such a person show interest on me, i may fail to recognize that what i am looking for or wanted to get be with as company always. i may feel something special about the person but if can't know what exactly draws me to the person it is hard just to trust by that feeling. i need to know exactly what it is good about the person.

Hello my friend PeacefulWmn9 Ji,
Happy Deepavali Today. I think you are very right in your findings. Also our old proverb proves it well. "BIRDS OF SAME FEATHERS FOLK TOGETHER". A smoker/gambler/drinker pick up friendship soon. If one is book reader, on ewill be attracted with another similar character. I am very fond of knitting wool by hand. So one day, while waiting for my Doctor, my hubby pointed out at another lady, who was knitting the wool, and I approached her without any hestitation as known friend. Unlike poles do attract each other. But what you say is cent percent correct.
May God bless You and have a great time.

Hello my friend PeacefulWmn9 Ji,
So nice of you for showing such a homely feelings in our activities. It is absolutely true that we intend to show interest with all those, where theres is small vent of our likings. Thanks for Deepavali wishes. Today is last day of pulling down curtain of Deepavali for next year. Today, Sisters will apply "kum-kum' on for-head of thier brothers and brothers in turn will promise to take care of thier sisters throughout their life, sister's interest will always be first than brothers. It is known as 'BHAI-DUEJ'
May God bless You both and have great time.

Well, its not so much a type of person so much as this..I am a Leo..My first love (and still good friend when we get in touch) was a Sagitarius. The lady who has put up with me these (almost) 22 years is a Sagitarius. I have had two (male) bosses in the last 10 years who were both Sagitarius...And my dad and his twin were Sagitarius. Interesting huh?
ENJOY!

Hello my friend
I always seem to attract people that are nothing like me, I have no luck when it comes to things like this, short men seem to think I am perfect for them,only god knows why, I had this one man that use to tell everyone to talk to me for him, one day I was in the store and the guy was like there he is,when I turned around and saw him, I was like tell him I am married lol,
anyway I was going to school for my G.E.D and who do you think was sitting in the classroom, yes, unbelievable I closed the door and started to walk away, but then I said this man is not going to stop me from doing what I have to do,turns out he was alright, pretty good with math so the teacher referred everyone to him when they had problems, I think he worked the night shift because his breath use to stink like morning/noon/afternoon breath grrrr could you imagine, I started to carry mints just for him, we studied together and became friends, he really liked me alot but he was not for me, there is much more to this, but the bottom line was yuk.we had the same sign which could have been cool, but he sucked.lol
Thank you my friend, oh by the way although he was the best in math, when we took our test we both passed and I scored higher than him,lol

hi peaceful wmn,
What i gather about this discussion is that you are talking about making new friends offline because your old friends you dont need to find out what they like or if they have same interest as you. As far as i am concerned interests matching is way way later after we had become friends. I like to know person first before i can say he is my friend or not. It is the persons personality which attracts me more. Well i should say smile more than anything. If a person has a radiant smile and can be happy most of time, then i would be friends with him even if we dont share same interests.

attractive people draw my curiousity the most. also people who are different than me because i want to find out why they are different in theses ways. i still don't understand some people's viewpoints but trying to analyze people is sometimes fun.

Definitely do. I have seen so many people who are very different, but instead of causing conflict, it has created balance in their lives. For example, one friends are is in a mariage with a woman who is very passion when it coomes to raising children, making financial decisions, etc., but he is all about the facts. However, they also share a lot of common interest which is how they started dating in the first place.

What i think our mind notice those things easily which are different. If you have to find a black sheep in white you will get it very easily
Same in our case. We attracted towards opposite easily. Even for me.I get attracted by opposite very easily and even most of the time.

I am not really sure which type I am most drawn to. I have such diverse tastes, that I mingle with all different types of people on a regular basis.
When initially meeting someone, I guess I am most drawn to those who look me in the eye when they speak, and anyone who has a sense of humour. I also like really witty people who don't take themselves too seriously.
What an interesting question, though. I am going to give it some thought over the next while and see if indeed I do have a "type" to call my own. This could be an interesting little social test and I bet it will be fun to try.

...Hi there, I think you are right in our observation. I tend to look at the women men marry and in a lot of cases, if you look at their mother or sisters, the wife he chose looks a lot like them. Or women will find someone like their dad. So we tend, I think to look for similarities. Opposites do attract, but I think after the novelty wears off, we want and need a comfort level and that comes from shared interests. Myself, I like people who like to talk and have concrete ideas but are flexible in their thinking and are willing to listen and grow as I am. There are things we can learn daily, no matter how old we are. Take care.

I don't know that I can pinpoint either. I am, of course, attracted to people with the same interests and outlook on life, but many of those also have beliefs or attributes opposite to mine.
I have a number of good friends, online and offline, with whom I enjoy light banter and serious discussions, but I would disagree with some of them on an issue which I consider to be the main focus of my life - but it doesn't stop us from being friends.
I suppose the thing that attracts me INITIALLY would be a smile and a friendly attitude. The thing that determines on ongoing friendship would probably be mutual interests.

I think I'm most drawn to those with a sense of humor, those who don't take themselves too seriously. At least that's the type I enjoy the most or have the most fun verbally sparring with. I like to people watch too and used to do it at the mall. It's kind of fun except when you see someone being mean to their kids and then it sucks because you can't rescue everyone.

Hi Karen!
Yes, it is very true that we always keep looking for those persons, irrespective of their gender, who are similar to us in nature. Some of my close friends are similar to me and we think alike and they will ponder over my problems, as I would do. I think when we find such persons in our life, we feel a kind of satisfaction and we feel comfortable in their company, those who are like us. Those who are similar to us, it becomes easier for them to ‘understand’ us.

I to am a people watcher. Karen. In fact my kids get on to me when we go out to eat, lol. they'll say eat mom & quit watching the people. A person w/a great personality catches my attention first. one who has alot of fun about them. Alot of people go for good looks & of course if they are easy on the eye that's great but personality comes first w/me. Happy thurs.

Hi Karen, this made me think what do the people I want to be with have in common with each other to pinpoint why I'm drawn to them, and usually immediately too as first impressions do stick with me.
I'd say the way they carry themselves with confidence with intelligence clearly in their eyes, and calm. I have no time for moody types but like consistency. I don't know if that explains it properly.

for me, the one who catches my attention is, the one who has an anime-like hair / a cosplay hairstyle. i myself is an anime fan, if i met someone who is also an anime fan, i would like to be his / her friend so that we can relate with each other. ^_^
