Do you find not conventionally attractive people more attractive if they

[nytemare]

have a great voice, and sense of humor or talent??

[LastKnight]

1. sense of humor, mainly.

talent helps in the appearnce of being well rounded, but in the end its not really an issue... and a great voice cant hurt... but its not up there with sense of humor.

[nytemare]

7. Yep!

I think there are probably many that fall in this category!

[progmom]

2. there are so many things that go into making a person attractive

you just named a few biggies. :D

[nytemare]

9. Yes, there are!

I was thinking about it because there are some actors, like Anthony Hopkins for example, who I would not find conventionally physically attractive, but he has an interesting voice and seems as if he has a depth of character. Jack Nicholson is another one who just seems as if he would be a ball of laughs.

After thinking a while, I realized that there have been some in my own life I have come across like that.

3. Absolutely

Someone that I can laugh with is essential. Talent goes to more of some kind of celebrity-crush thing than real life..not as tangible to me in everyday life as humor.

Conversely, a physically "conventionally attractive" person with a bland personality becomes less attractive..

[nytemare]

4. I agree.

Sense of humor is most important!

5. Those are important things, certainly . . .

but I've known a lot of good-looking people with nice voices and a talent for making folks laugh at others' expense, and this I find extremely unattractive. Self-respect, compassion and a genuine heart trump physical assets any day (for me, anyway).

6. totally true as well!

:hi:

[nytemare]

8. I suppose I associate a sense of humor

with someone who is at least a bit self depricating, or doesn't take themselves too seriously, and put themselves above others.

Great points you make!

[Guaranteed]

10. I tend to find not conventionally attractive people just more attractive

in general. I can't stand that "I should be on TV" look. They all look the same.

I like a look with some originality and personality.

[nytemare]

14. Yeah, originality!

Like the guy in your avatar.

11. I don't really know what being "conventionally attractive" means.

Conventional for whom?

[nytemare]

13. Yes, it is an ambiguous term, isn't it??

Perhaps I mean the type that would be in the People's most beautiful, that may be the best way to define it.

16. Ick. No, thanks.

Now, Hope Sandoval...meow, wow!

17. I tend to like the "Road less traveled"

as well.

19. I suppose I tend to gravitate toward Irish people, but not on purpose.

Usually, I am attracted, and then find out that the person is of Irish extraction. Hell, Mrs.IconCat has dual citizenship! She still knows how to get to her old house outside of Dublin!

[nytemare]

21. I am a person who loves different cultures

I suppose I am an anglophile, but find Chinese culture interesting as well.

I am a sucker for a British accent, though.

[GOPisEvil]

12. Yes. Personality, intelligence, sense of humor all increase a person's

attractiveness to me. In fact, I'd rather be with someone who is not conventionally attractive but who made me think, laugh and was a good person before I was with a boorish "beauty".

[nytemare]

15. I agree all the way!

:)

18. I just realized that my OP sounded like Yoda.

:shrug:

20. Does the question assume that tits have nothing to do with it?

B-)

[nytemare]

22. You crack me up Floogeldy!

I suppose that could be a "talent".

[Floogeldy]

23. Ha ha!

You make great posts.
