*If this is in the wrong area, feel free to move!*

 

*This is due February 5, so answers sooner rather than later would be awesome!*

 

Hypothetically (or not), let's say you're a single person browsing dating profiles. I have two question I need answered for a survey class!

 

  1. What are some traits you'd find attractive in a dating profile (respectful, funny, religious, smoker, wants children, enjoys a certain kind of food/activity, etc.)
  2. What are some traits that you find completely not attractive (hard turn offs) that could be found in a dating profile? (excessive sexual language, aggressive language, self-centered, focus on a specific hobby/interest, etc.)

Attractive to me, would be someone who values knowledge. I.E Educated, or loves books or learning. Someone as nerdy or nerdier than me. I'll also definitely gravitate to people who have positive auras. You can pick this up, as well. Lastly, someone who takes the time to tell you a little about themselves.

 

Unattractive to me, is someone with zero effort in a profile. One word descriptions. Someone who can't keep the past where it belongs, and has a very negative profile. Essentially, telling you what they're sick of--when they should be putting more effort in what they're looking for and simply avoiding the type they dislike.

 

I.E "I'M NOT looking for a one night stand, losers, or guys who still live at home with mom. If you have zero ambition--don't waste my time! If you only have one picture--don't waste my time. Are a cheater--don't waste my time! I can see through bullshit...

 

Any they always finish their profiles with: "I'm a happy go lucky, nice, kind person just looking for my prince in shining armor.."

 

Long story--if you're that negative, and don't realize this aura attracts douchebags, you're beyond my help.

Attractive

kindness, respect, sense of humor, not overly sensitive but also not anti-emotions, tolerance and open-mindedness, (university/college) student, likes cats

I'm OK with dating a sexual (I mean, I'm doing it now :P) but they have to be okay with dating an ace person

 

Not interesting

Abusive language, discriminatory or bigoted viewpoints, any sort of complaint about them being "owed" sex/love, one-night stands, deeply religious (because I am not and this would inevitably lead to values clash), wants to start a family in the near future, anti-science, requires sex, does not want a sensual relationship, would ask me to give up career opportunities to stay with them.
