We're fine as long as you don't feed us after midnight. You have been warned.

^ Yeah. We were trying to be "romantically appealing".
We failed.

My $0.02-

Appealing
  • Beautiful mind - full of wisdom, intelligence, and (untapped) talent;
  • A sense of wonder and childlike enthusiasm - like to share the interesting things they've come across with during the day;
  • Funny, quirky, dorky, and kind - if you are one of the lucky few, they strive to make you smile / giggle *all* the time;
  • Honesty and integrity - walking the walk, even when times get tough; first person to "warn" of possible issues, but also the first person to offer to help out in difficult times and also rejoice in your success;
  • Sweet - like to create a few "special" moments full of inside jokes, silly smiles, and meaning;
  • Loyalty - if they promised you something, they will try their hardest to keep it; and
  • Protective (i.e., worries about the silliest things that have a low probability of happening - though very sweet)

Unappealing
  • Could sometimes be immature - i.e., hard to change their mind (if they think they're "right" :rolleyes:), whinny, selfish, and insensitive;
  • Detachment - i.e., hard to follow sometimes (they just give you the conclusion and save you the "calculations"), process emotions or events like a science experiment, but with time held constant - thus, leaving their partner out in the dark and feeling unsupported and ignored;
  • Like an absentminded professor - forgets events, anniversaries, etc.....if you want something, you have to explicitly ask for it - subtlety isn't their thing...also hampers "romance"; and
  • Restless - seem to be always unhappy with something and tend to have a pessimistic PoV.

*lives out g_vartan's last point--Restless--by pointing out how true her "Unappealling" section of list is.*

Whiny or whiney, not 'whinny'. ;)

I've never understood how this is a 'bad thing'. What's so bad about wanting people to be forthright? I shouldn't have to decode some abstract subtlety that's meant to mean you want something: if you want something just come out and say it! I think some people tend to imply wanting something instead of explicitly asking in order to save face, to get it without actually asking, which frankly I find rude and petty.

...also hampers "romance"

All these years and I never understood why "Hi, I'm 93JC; wanna fuck?" didn't work...
