DU Gay Women: What attributes are foremost in attracting you to a woman?
For me:

Humor
Compassion
Intellect
Sensuality
Beautiful eyes
Voluptuous breasts (ok, I can be base too)
A body I can really feel against me without breaking it
Someone shorter than me

That's the short list. :)

1. That's a great list and I am not gay but we agree
;) It describes my wife. Sorry for interrupting the thread.

5. Bah! I started a similar thread (and one for men/men, too)
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. ;-)

11. Hee hee...
That's because my thread sank quick.

I just hate all these cutesey trendy terms -- I hate "bicurious" more, even though it's probably accurate.

6. all of those on your list....but for me, it's a beautiful smile
My knees weaken if a cute woman lobs a beautiful smile my way.

26. oh, and I need a taller woman....
ha, I prefer to be kissed by a taller woman than by a shorter woman which should be no feat since I'm 5"1.

27. There's something to be said for...
the face lining up nicely with the breasts... It's a good thing you're not into shorter women :)

12. "Someone shorter than me" -- that begs the question . . .
Are you taller than 5'4"?

16. . . . .
:wow:

oops

Good thing I've got my tall, unbreakable, funny, compassionate, tarp-as-a-shack hillbilly woman, with whom I am deeply in love, to go home to tonight.

(What? Feeling guilty about flirting? Who, me?!)

22. She is indeed, and she doesn't mind that I flirt.
In fact, I miss flirting. I used to be in a GLBT/friendly chorus. Rehearsal wasn't a success for me unless I left someone blushing.

And honestly I do need to buy a new toaster. My toaster won't keep the bread down unless I hold down the lever the whole time. But I'll buy one from my own hard earned cash

20. Loyalty
The eyes
sensuality
a brain
a heart
long legs
being community oriented
and a long pretty neck (love to kiss them)

(oh...and while we all sometimes have a past to overcome...it's always nice if they've already handled the "my parents shoved me in the glove box when I was 9 and that's why I am sexually suppressed" story)

21. Yeah, that's for a "least important attributes" thread...
Definitely NO baggage that hasn't even freaking been opened in years.
