What first attracted you to your S.O.?

[terrya]

Or spouse?

Me: his sense of humor and intelligence. I knew that Doug was something very, very special even before I saw what he looked like. :-)

You?

[Misunderestimator]

1. Yep, humor and intelligence...

and talking dirty helped :evilgrin:

[ewagner]

2. I heard her

laughing at me over my shoulder......looked at her....say beautiful tanned legs in a miniskirt.....the rest is history ....30 years in March....

[babylonsister]

3. I saw how mine interacted with his kids; I

was hooked. :loveya:

[flamingyouth]

4. Kindness, intelligence, sense of humor

We just had a real connection. :hi:

[terrya]

9. Plus, it doesn't hurt that he's a good looking guy.

Hey, I saw the pic in the Gallery. :-)

You guys make a great couple.

:hi:

[flamingyouth]

12. Yes, he sure is!

His hair is quite a bit longer now. But like you and Doug, I really cared for him and liked him before I knew what he looked like. :hi:

[skypilot]

5. His elusiveness and inaccessibility.

He's so elusive and inaccessible that I can't even find the SOB.

[Plaid Adder]

6. Courage.

I first saw her moderating a gay-straight student discussion group during our college BGLAD week. I thought I was straight at the time but I was very impressed with her fearlessness. And beauty, though it took a longer time for me to realize how much I was appreciating that.

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

7. I don't have a S.O.

It's probably better that way... for now. But, I think the holiday blues are kicking in. :cry:

[benburch]

8. If I told you, she'd probably not speak to me for hours! nt

[Ian David]

10. Big boobies. big hair, big eye makeup and a leather bullwhip

[Feathered Fish]

11. Marathon games

of "Asshole" (a card game aka President) and long discussions about the Rolling Stones and JFK.

[Deja Q]

13. Intelligence and looks. And I'm amazed I haven't scared him off yet,

:D

[Debbi801]

14. His dominating presence.

[Cuban_Liberal]

15. His enormous....

...BRAIN! :P

Plus, he's cute as hell.

[Beware the Beast Man]

16. Her red-painted toenails.

Just kidding. Her warm smile. She has the prettiest smile I've ever seen. :loveya:
If you can't handle me getting mushy, fuck y'all.

[madison2000]

17. He stood on top of the monkey bars without holding on

you said FIRST, right?

[ohiosmith]

18. Her hot water. I was living in a hostel for draft dodgers in Vancouver

BC. We had no hot water and had to heat pots of water on the kitchen range and carry them upstairs in order to take a bath. Due to the number of guys living there and the amount of time it took to heat the water we were lucky to each get one bath a week. I'm nutty about personal cleanliness and was severely disturbed by this situation. One fall morning I was sitting on the front porch waiting for my pots to heat. I noticed one of the young women who lived in the house next to ours was having trouble getting her Morris Minor started. I introduced myself to her and offered to help. I got the car started and as she was about to drive away she said if she could do anything to pay me back let her know. I told her I could use a hot shower and asked if she would allow me to use her bathroom. The rest is history. That was October 22, 1971. We were married January 14, 1972. We've been together since and I have yet to go a single day without a hot shower. My apologies for the length of my response.

[skygazer]

19. His devotion to his cat

Plus the fact that he liked to cook.

I met him at the grocery store where I work and he was a customer. Our first conversation was about his cat and I loved the fact that this big, masculine guy could get this goofy grin on his face as he talked about the cat he so obviously loved.

When I found out he cooked as well, I was completely smitten. :loveya:

[Skittles]

20. he is very quiet and shy

I had to literally get in his face to make him look at me

[Magrittes Pipe]

21. At first? Her humor & (some of) her taste in music...

...not to mention the fact that I'd had a crush on her years ago.

Eventually, I became acquainted with her amazing inner strength, her vitality, her (she'll kill me for saying this publicly) tender and generous heart, her ability to know what I'm thinking even before I do, her prodigious (if scatterbrained) intelligence.

She's also built like a brick hizzouse. :D

[SarahB]

22. SO might still be a loaded word thus far, but...

For the man I'm currently interested in, I was first attracted to him because he is funny, but shy at the same time. He's respectful, absolutely brilliant, sexy, and thoughtful. We understand each other in ways no one else has before and we can unapologetically be ourselves. He is beautifully built. Not to mention, he saw things in me before he ever knew what I looked like. I've experienced men noticing me for my external features many times, often not seeing beyond that. He did and my externals are merely a bonus. :D

[Rambis]

23. Her smile

Love at first sight. I moved on to more shallow things like the 6' blonde, nice legs and a very nice figure. When I found out she had a school bus I vowed to marry her:) I forgot the mention her girlfriend was trying to set her up with my roomate who was gay (he hadn't come out yet and was still trying to date women) so I figured I had a shot.

[Mad_Dem_X]

24. His beautiful blue eyes and soft hands

I knew that even tho' he acted all goofy around other people, he was really a sweetheart inside.

[THUNDER HANDS]

25. her butt

then her bowling skills, and finally her sweetness.

:D

[Maestro]

26. Her legs in all honestly

Then I realized I liked being with her. ;)

[the Princess]

27. His sense of humor

And the fact that he told me he didn't want a "relationship" cause neither did I.

We've been married for alomost 12 years. LOL

[CO Liberal]

30. Her Eyes and Her Smile

Those were the first two things I noticed about the Princess. We met a little over 13 years ago, were friends first, then started dating, and finally bacame husband & wife.

:loveya::loveya:

[LynzM]

28. Intelligence, humor, depth

A feeling of never having that kind of connection with anyone before. Being able to sit and talk for hours, never getting bored, enjoying each others' company! :) Still do!

[ceile]

29. His smell

I so believe in pheromones since I met him.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

31. Her Ass

[TexasLady]

32. His Kindness

He has a really big heart.:loveya:

[Left Is Write]

33. He was a cutie I saw from across the room.

And I liked his eyeglasses.

[medeak]

34. his nose (you know what they say is true) n/t

[dr.strangelove]

35. Her Boobs

Can't lie, she has one of the best bodies I ever seen. Of course it was way more than her breasts that I fell in love with. After talking to her for a few hours about sports and politics, we found out we had very common interests. So after her breasts caught my eye, it was the rest of her that made me fall hard for her.

[Terran]

36. His looks

and his tendency to show differentiated basket.

The fact that he turned out to be an uber-genius Renaissance Man with with a great sense of humor who can cook like Julia Child was just icing on the cake. :evilgrin:

[NoSheep]

37. He seemed to have integrity. And his eyes, smile, and oddly shaven beard
