I also like tall women. I am 6'3" and I feel uncomfortable with people a lot shorter than I am.(not that I have much choice)

Musical ability also jumps a girl up about 3 or 4 on my scale of 1-10 so if they can play the piano and or sing or play another instrament I automaticaly think they are attractive. This usualy indicates that they are hard working and dedicated to something.

You can call me shallow but from day one I have not been attracted to women that are over weight most of the time. I don't know why, my parents don't think this way, but I see over weight people as generaly mentaly sick. I think that it comes from some of my friends that had self-image problems so to work around their problems they ate and ate alot. I do know some people that are perfectly fine and it is a genetic thing that they are over weight so don't send me nasty letters I already know I am shallow in this area and it is only the ones that complain that they are fat while shoving an icecream cone down their throat at breakfast taht annoy me.

No, not those... Sheesh, get your mind out of the gutter...

I have to admit that if a woman has a good sense of humor (or even a bad one, so long as it's wicked) She can turn my head.

I am getting to the point in life where I need think about "Well, ya know, her looks are going to go at some point, heck, mine left some time ago if ever I had them... So what do I really want?"

Well, I want someone who I can see being with 20-some years from now. Lucky me, I'm with someone who I can see that with, and extra bonus points for the fact that she's got long legs, a wicked smile that even now can reduce me to jelly, and she's ummm... well, she's got tits out to there... <gesturing>

All that, and we love each other very much.

Ya can't beat that.

Looks are nice of course, but as anyone here will tell you its the mind that really counts. I like women who do not conform. Also, strong religious beliefs are usually a turnoff (although eastern religions are generally fine, and I'm tolerant of new age stuff. Its the mid-eastern ones I loathe.) as is any sort of ethnic, gender, or class superiority belief.

Now intelligence, not put off by my hobbies i.e. understanding, tactile, open and honest are all on my list. Good looking is there too, but good looking to me .
Nice, cuddly and huggable would be a huge bonus.

For me, it's not the shape or size of the bottle, but the wine which is important.

What do female tank commanders on manuevers have to do with shallowness? Sloped tank armor on the turret section is still pretty thick last time I checked.

There are only two non-contact attractive forces I can think of. Gravity and Magnetism. That'd require some understanding of physics, math and chemistry. Also, I'm quite a negative guy so she'd have to be positively electric to attract me.

Okay, nonsense aside - there's only one thing that really matters in a woman - and that's honesty. Looks are not of enduring interest, being geeky is certainly not essential, height just doesn't enter into it. You can't dictate what your soul mate is going to be like, can you?

4) Red hair. Don't know why, it's just so... red. But dying hair red or blonde ends up looking silly a lot of the time and is always a waste of effort.

3) Like Animals. When I hear someone say they don't like animals, it is definitely a turn off. I thought EVERYONE liked some animals, until I met a girl who hated all animals and most things outdoors. That's just weird. Everyone's got to like puppies or kittens or SOMETHING!

2) Tom-Boys. Someone who's mot afraid to punch a guy in the gut because they're a jerk. One of my friends told me they did this and I was quite impressed.

Ok, I believe you.Which leads to....
Another question:
What is it about geeks that seems to make them more in touch with their feminine side than most guys? Logically, the 2 seem like polar opposites-the fondness for computers and all things technical is a masculine trait for the most part. I'd like to think it's the advanced intellect that allows them to
develop those qualities. Or is it the pain of a broken heart, perhaps?
I hope I'm not offending anyone, it's just an observation, and believe me, I think it's a good thing.

Oh, another "which came first" quandry: the sensitivity or the geekiness?

I suspect there's a fair amount of overlap between sensitivity and geekiness.
Sensitivity comprises of two parts: firstly, there's the perception, the actual synaptic acknowledgement of an event and/or on-going process. Secondly, there's the moral choice of action based on dealing with that perception. You can't hope to be up to the perception part without having a brain - the moral choice part is up to the individual - and at the moment I can think of no good reason why geeks should be more inclined to 'do the right thing'. Furthermore, I know a lot of geeks who wouldn't recognise sensitivity if it ran over their foot.

So, after all that I conclude...err...something.

Uh, thanks for clearing that up.

Morality aside, I guess I was referring to geeks being more in touch with their feelings and why this is true. Does it come from tending to be outsiders or loners, and seeing things from that perspective?OR just having a mind advanced enough to recognize (gasp) feelings.

What attracts me to a woman?

I'd like to say, pheremones, but I'd be half lieing to me.

Biggest common denominator is big, honkin' IQs. The kind of IQs so big that if you stand too close to the woman, her IQ would smack you right in the face when she turns around, and you'd thank her for it.

The kind of IQ where her name ends in initials, and the initials keep on going.

I'm a sucker for a big IQ. Anything less would bore me to self abuse.

And you know what's even better? A big IQ with a pretty face, a curvy body and legs that go all the way down to the depths of hell.

Why is the physical stuff important?

Because most of the women I've met who are very intellegent and very pretty are also very approachable. The jock types won't go near them, because the IQ scares them away and Geeks all think the jocks have a woman like that all locked up.

Only me and four other geek guys have ever learned this

Now it's out.

That is all.

For me, it's intellect, passion, a little sensitivity(you can't set your sights too high on this one), SENSE OF HUMOR, and a good pair of hands/forearms.
