How much does someone's personality turn you on?

[Nicole Dupre]

Do you ever feel attracted, intellectually, to a woman you initially found to be physically attractive?

Discuss amongst ya'selves. lol

I think personality can be a huge turn on. Not gonna lie and say looks aren't important but it's the personality that keeps you around.

Is this a trick question??

There are a few women on HA whose personalities I found to be intensely attractive which compliments their physical beauty.

I'll use the OP as an example, Nicole.
Ms. Dupre, you have an intoxicating combination of laser wit, charm, pure intelligence, attitude, wisdom, perspective AND sensitivity.
I think those on this board who only remember where you bitch-slap dumbasses senseless miss how generous you've been by sharing with all of us a glimpse into your heart/head.

To me Nicole you just have an attractive personality, beautifully complex but still grounded.
Your personality simply enhances the outer attraction, which IMO gives you this gravitational pull over myself and other guys similarly afflicted on HA.lol

I'd say among most the ladies who've posted before on HA, I find roughly 90% generally attractive. But it's those women who have a relatable personality that are the ones I really LIKE.
'Like' to me means if I met girl X and she told me upfront we aren't going to do anything physical right now(!!...that would suck!lol), however we were going to go out that night, bar and party hop and just hang for a few hours, I would still look forward to the evening.

Why?? Personality.
But if there was no shot at sex it would be kinda hard to stay 'friendly' with a female who really turns me on.

This thread is like Kryptonite on a porn forum. lol

I agree.

When meeting someone face to face, the first impression is always a visual one. But how she carries herself and how she dresses can say a lot about her personality. Personality is a different point of view for each of us. But a nice strong personality can only add to the visual impression.

But, I have met women through internet or phone conversations where the first impression is strictly their personality. If all went well with the voice contact, then the first visual impression is not that important. I just like nice people who have brains that function.

With all of that in mind, I would say personality is a big part of the turn on. Actual looks do play a part, but a small one.

at this stage in my life I cannot see the point in being with someone I'm not attracted to on an emotional,spiritual and intellectual level. NSA is just empty for me

Really? I can't deal with dummies very well, so I do understand you. But why not simply know what you like in both regards, and desire the "complete package"? I guess I'm super picky about what I see as a guy having LTR potential, because I want both. I'm generally attracted to artists, but too many of them are "starving".And essentially being their sugar mama gets old fast. I want someone to take care of ME a little too.

Yeah it happens. But sometimes the little head is doing all the thinking so it doesn't take much.

I can tell that about you. Other than the silly comment you made on the thread about the guy getting his wang cut off and thrown in the garbage disposal, I know there's some depth on the other side of your keyboard.

And thank you for the sweet compliments.

I do have desire for the whole package. But I have never put much stock in first visual impressions. As an example....suppose a guy hates tattoos on women. His first visual impression of you might be a turn off, and he would never get to really know the great person you are. That would be his loss based on visual attraction only.

I have always like to know a person first before any romance catches on. I want to know if we are compatible, at least a little, to get things started. The visual for me is a small part of the attraction. I wouldn't want someone who looks like...well let's just say, the Tea Party liar freak. I do have SOME standards. LOL. But a woman does not have to be beautiful, and can have flaws for my taste, if she has a good personality.

Nicole, as long as I can get close up inspections of your artwork canvas every night, I would take care of you baby. I would love you like my Queen. LOL
