Reply #5: Bah! I started a similar thread (and one for men/men, too)

[eyesroll]

Trying to be a good Libra and all that.
The men's thread's got replies, but the women one sank like a stone.
I'll kick yours up instead, since you've got more business asking than I do anyway.

And, though not gay, I'll add my $.02, although it's 100% physical (in stark contrast to my comments on the women/men thread), as I've never attempted to court/be courted by a woman and so far it's just admiration from afar (which, if you recall, is quite new in itself.) So, it's more of a "who I noticed at the co-op yesterday" answer than anything else -- but it's what I've got.

I've been noticing women who are around my height, or maybe even shorter (I'm 5'2"). Dark hair seems to be a theme, as does glasses. As do nose and/or eyebrow piercings, even though I've never really been partial to them before. Quirky or cute, rather than hot.

I suspect, if I was looking for a relationship, the same qualities I'd look for in a man I'd be looking for in a woman -- fierce intellect (Lydia Leftcoast called it "omnivorous"), a passion for something, a lack of sexual puritanism....and glasses....Dunno.

Sorry if I'm coming off as a major poseur here -- tryin' to keep up with all them "heteroflexible" cool kids and whatnot. ;-)
