I just got round to turning the sound on for this, posted earlier:

and it got me thinking, whatever the shape, unless the spark of intellect is there, there's no interest for me – but is that just elitist ?

Not at all, looks always fade.

oops wrong forum 🙂

Agree with you both – initially, there has to be a (physical) attraction, otherwise why bother, but (in my experience) there has to be something else, (be it intelligence or whatever) which whilst not replacing the attraction, enhances it over time.

Depends what you are looking for 🙂

Beautiful, humorous, intelligent.

Pick two.

good find simon. 😆

oops, wrong link too – I think

Sofatester my wife is all 3, theres someone for everyone, took me years of crap to find her though…..

I've been known to watch Holllyoaks with the sound off before now 😀

oops, wrong link too – I think

yes dammit, was mean to be:
this one

Lol @ uplink ( it would take me too long to type the fish).

single, attractive, mentally stable – pick 2

yes dammit, was mean to be:
this one

It's odd that you ain't purdy Simon 😉

I reckon someone can be beautiful but stupid. Afterall, you will form a judgement on whether someone is beautiful without necessarily hearing them speak or reading anything they've written. What you're talking about is something different to beauty in a classical sense, something perhaps captured by the ghastly word "attractiveness". I agree that beauty without intelligence is not very attractive. 🙂

I liked the first link.
'Pointless Internet Argument Forums' 🙂

I liked "sadness tinged with arousal"

Yep, that was good too 🙂

Oh my greatness…. link one was funny, link two was scary! (I may be slightly bias, being South African).

well, I'm wondering if it's possible to synthesise the glint of wit in the eye ?

just ask them to converse through an electronic medium. If they start to use text speak they're idiots no matter what they look like and subsequently, inherently unattractive.

Not that for most blokes that's an issue, most mens sex drive (including mine), is so high that pretty much anything can be forgiven as long as there's a nice pair of boobs or bum in the offing, at least short term. In fact, in the instances when a man is aroused by looks, the stupider the better.

short term perhaps.
