Tulip and Sam, I want to thank you for answering this post. I appreciate it.
I happened to be near a couple of guys who were talking a while back. One had been married for several years and I heard him tell his friend this, 'Man, when she turns around (his wife) and looks at me, she still makes my heart skip a beat'.
I pray that you all have that experience as well. :applause:
Ok, I've always said physical attributes are unimportant. But after reading the remarks of you ladies, I'll admit: I lied. I wasn't being completely honest.
So, I must come clean. There really are 3 physical traits a woman absolutley must possess for me to be attracted to her:
A sparkle in her eye
A smile on her face
A lift in her step
There. I said it.
These "traits," although physical in appearance, show me how a woman truly feels on the inside. They exude the true, absolute, and genuine feelings of the heart. They let me know her degree of confidence and security in this world. How does she view herself? How does she view others? What does she think about me? Really?
The lips and the pen may betway one's true feelings, but the the gentle swagger of a confident women is dfficult to mimic. It is quite different from the sway of flirty hips, and a sparkle in an exuberant Christian lady eyes is very much different from an insincere wink. A genuine, loving smile is not the same as the coy, polite smile. A real smile lights up the whole face. It begins with the corners of the mouth and works its way up until it encompasses the whole face, creating a soft, warm glow. Although the traits some may find attractive may wax and wane, the sparkle, the smile, and even the lift in the step will always be there, undamaged or mared by the ravages of time.
You are alright with me. Even though I'm sure there are some attributes that would grab your attention, that was a beautiful well spoken answer.
You are an example of why I am attracted to older, mature experienced men. Men who have been around enough to desire a mature woman who is virtuous and has come to terms with who she is.
You better go boy!
Are you saying there is absolutely no physical attributes that you prefer over another?
I guess as long as it isn't Marie Leveau hovering over me clutching a bowl of hot grits it really doesn't matter. Honest.
I'm not much to look at myself. I mean I'm comfortable with the way I look- don't get me wrong. As long as I find her spiritually attracive, and and she feels the same about me, it really doesn't matter. Of course we have to click you know. Have to be close to the same age. (I don't know how I would feel having a first date in the cafeteria of a retirement home or jump-starting her hover-round, or even escorting her to the prom--I'm not very adept at pinning on corsages don't ya see!)
I just feel uncomfortable specifying the traits I feel desirable in a woman. To me, it's too much like ordering a hamburger (extra pickles-hold the mayo) or a custom built sreet rod. It just doesn't feel right. I'll be blessed with whomever God steers my way.
First, I don't know what's wrong with you, you are super cute.
I keep trying to convince you that we are compatible, but you won't have me cause I don't play the banjo! It's ain't right! :laugh:
Just playin' everybody. :laugh:
Second, I have to believe you when you say that you are comfortable with you. That you're not settling for whatever because you don't think you can get or aren't deserving in some way of what you want.
If that is not true, you are extremely evolved and mature. Wow.
Forgive my amazement, I usually only hear women talk about looks not being important. :applause:
Thanks Etta, but I really am quite secure. I don't need any arm candy to convince the world I've made it. I realized that the day I allowed Jeus in my heart.
Oh folks, so you know.....That Eta crack was meant as a compliment; I think Mrs. Babygirl looks like Etta James. Plus, I heard she has pretty good pipes.
