You're attracted to WHAT?

[Endlessly]

Okay. Here's the next fun question for y'all:

I mentioned once a long time ago I had a professor fetish, but alas, I go to a school with no hot professors. This hasn't changed this year-- as a matter of fact, my only new professor-- in music-- is really kinda spindly looking, sort of furry, and bears a striking resembelance to Niles Crane.

So why can't I pay attention in class and stop thinking about OTHER oral exersizes besides singing?

He's got a wicked sense of humor, but even THAT is something I could take or leave. It's the passion. I have never seen ANYone in my entire life as passionate about ANYthing as he is about music-- and that alone is enough to try and make me act less goofy (I say the STUPIDEST things to guys I crush on, today I got to say one thing to him in class, and oh it was dumb) and more sexy.

In short: I'm wearing eyeliner for a guy who looks like a fuzzy stick. The questions:

Have you ever found yourself with a VERY unlikely crush for a VERY odd reason? Did anything happen? What are some personality traits that could make you lust after someone who looked like Jabba the Hut? ARE there any personality traits that could overcome appearance for you?

Some things are non-negotiable. For example, height, I've never been attracted to a man under six feet tall and I don't like men who can't grow a real beard.

However, a man with competent hands; can take apart an engine, knows the working end of a hammer, etc., gets extra points. Long hair and a nice tenor voice also override a few shortcomings. I can't really explain it , but a decent guy in jeans, white tee-shirt, tool belt, and work boots can get away with a lot too.

As for Jabba, I don't think there is that much alcohol in all of creation.

I once made love to an overweight girl that I would never have been attracted to had we not "met cute" and took it from there. I enjoyed her company, we had amazing, marathon sex. The attraction was part personality, and part adventure.

I'm a huge sucker for biting wit, self-confidence tinged with a teeny bit of self-deprication, and a nice butt. If the chemistry's right, the shape of his nose or size of his muscles is irrelevent. So I find myself falling for all sorts of strange-looking dudes. Manu's a cutie, but he didn't set my loins on fire when I first met him. It wasn't till after we'd had a few conversations that sparks flew.

That's usually the way it's been for me... guys who I lust for from afar usually end up to be boring once they open their mouths, and the goofy guy in the cubicle next to me takes me out to lunch, turns out to be an amazing person and WHAM! I'm aflutter.

So I know what you mean, Endlessly. It's not all looks - there's something else. Not for everyone - I have girlfriends who have a physical "ideal" that men must meet or they don't even get a "hello". But freaks like you and me will always fall victim to that damn charm thing.

Having me followed, eh Laurel?

*Nothing* turns me on more than a woman who drives a manual transmission! I don't think it's just a phallic thing, but more that she comes across as in control and coordinated. If she double-clutches her downshifts (via heel and toe) than I would have a very hard time controlling my excitement!

I have this thing about teeth. A person doesn't have to have the straightest, whitest teeth, but if the teeth look like they're doing battle with each other or they are not the color teeth should be then that's a major turnoff. If a guy has great teeth I'm in love. A nice butt helps too.

If a person has "credentials", they always get a second take from me. The other day I overheard a conversation where a young woman was explaining that she was working on her masters degree in a project with the new c-6 supercomputer here on campus. Her desirability factor kind of skyrocketted in eyes and soon I found myself picking out all the subtle nuances of her behavior. Likewise I'd been seeing a lot of one particular girl in rated chess events but I never really found her particularly appealing until after I took note of her high standings. I guess I'm a sucker for the idealization trap.

Well Kitten you just described me... wow!

Endlessly, oh, Endlessly. I'll kick your ass if this dude is married. I was going to give you advice on how to seduce a preacher (get on your knees and pray and prey) like you asked until you said he was married.

I thinking about fixing you up with my 18 year old cousin Danny Boy. The kid was valedictorian of his nondenominational Christian school, a sports stud and really cute. I should send you a pic, you'd drool. The problem is you are so far intellectually superior than these young studs it's pitiful.

Yep, a nutty professor is the way to go girl. In the dark they all look the same.

I want a man whose more of a man than me. Anything that feels the need to compete with my masculine traits is a turn off. I don't want to constantly try to repress parts of myself just so the guy can feel like a man. If I wanna swap out a tranny, I don't want his help just cause he'd get it from his friends if he let the "little woman" do it.

So it was a great shock to me that I had a 4 month long totally sexual relationship with a guy that hated grease, hated dirt and weighed less than I did. He was one of those snotty intellectuals who is almost effeminate in manner. We broke it off because he was too embarassed to introduce me to his family and I was more interested in playing in the mud than changing my ways to suit him. Gawd the sex, whoooooooooo. Gets a girl all nipply just thinking about it.

*LOL* Deborah, if he's cute enough, my intelligence will not be a problem. Tonight after going out to dinner with my two best girlfriends, I came up with something astonishing:
the Endlessly\male dumbness ratio.

Basically-- It's attractiveness divided by the duration of meeting equals my stupidity. The more attractive I find a guy, the stupider I act. This usually wears off in an extended amount of time with a male, but in brief instances (ie. answering a question in class or talking to the hot waiter at our restaurant), the dumbness factor is overwhelming.

Oh, and the nutty prof ain't married.. At least, not married enough to wear his ring when teaching college co-eds.

Now about this cousin of yours..
