Brains 10 i get aggravated when i get a sense of the lack of brains people have. that's men or women. but a dumb man is really a shame. however, if a man really had no brains, i wouldnt expect him to put a decent joke together, or be able to explain something to me, or really verbally express himself. and i cant have no dull, stuttering fool.

plus, sometimes i really like me a nerdy, brainy dude, especially if he totally knows it - then you have more fun and you dont have that weird "omg she thinks im a dork" thing in your head.

Beauty 1 i have been attracted to a WIDE range of dudes, and the ones i felt the strongest about were typically the least attractive, in a physical sense. your looks can go, but if thats all you have going for you, then what makes you better than the next dude? plus, EVERYONE knows that an average dude can walk into a room and even if he looks like he is about his ish, chicks will be lining up.

realize also that beauty and hygiene overlap, but not necessarily the same. i mean you can be gorgeous, but if your breaf stank and yo lips are cracked up, that is not beautiful at all. but, a very trimmed man can still be unattractive.

Body 1 again, been attracted to a wide range of bodies. i figure when it comes down to gettin busy, your ish is either good or bad. and the lights are out. body parts are gonna jiggle and squish and do all sorts of stuff. now if you a little bigger, then a little more squishy goin on. if it dont bother him, it dont bother me.

Money 1 im with the general consensus. if you have the brains, then i will hope my man will use them to get that money. and then use them brains some more to turn that money into wealth, so were not filing for bankruptcy years down the line. so yeah, you can show up broke, but dont plan on staying that way, or you wont be staying here!

Personality 10 i think it takes some kinda brains to have personality. so, with the same theory, if you have brains, then you will be academically and mentally diverse to have such personality. too much of anything is no good, so if a man can get some depth in his character, i am with it!

Utility (i.e. s/he can do whatever you need a mate to do for you in any area you would choose) 10 this goes hand in hand with the brains. if your brain can handle decent thought processes, you can surely put things together, explain when things go wrong, run errands, and pretty much hold the fort down. and that is a big turn on when a man can handle his and be secure in it. even if he's wrong sometimes, the fact that he didnt call me to get help or complain, rather, the fact that he took charge says a lot.

again, LOVE IT when a man can pick up a book and explain something i dont understand (maybe this is why i always fall for educators - teachers, tutors, coaches) or talk fluently on a topic - LOVE IT!
