What are you waiting for?
I can't really say what I look for in a person, it's different with everyone. There are definitely things that catch my eye, though, or my brain. And, as I'm fond of lists of 13, it seems, here goes.
1. Graceful people. Especially hands. An elegant smoker. A ballet dancer. A fire spinner. A martial artist, or just a good fighter. A skater. A musician. Believe it or not, despite my sharp-thing-magnet implant, I am actually fairly graceful. I appreciate it in others. Overly muscled people disgust me. Nothing gets me hotter than a dancer's body or classical curves. And if they know how to move that body...oh boy, watch out. MINE.
2. True interest in my passions. Don't just smile and nod and pretend to be interested in my crazy gamut of obsessions. I don't expect to have EVERYTHING in common with anyone, but I have a pretty darn wide range of interests, and we likely have more than a few things that we both like. I promise if you have a real burning for something or character trait I know nothing about, I will research it and at least be able to hold a semi-intelligent conversation with you about it. The surest way to win me over, as a friend or otherwise, is to grant me the same courtesy. I've picked up interests from a lot of friends. If you find me geeking out over something you introduced me to, take it as the highest compliment I can give you. I'm pretty picky. I like quality. It means I like you. A lot.
3. Alternative ideas of beauty. I see the aesthetic value in the strangest things. I consider it one of my very best qualities, seeing the beauty in the macabre and the grostesque. It gives me perspective. And I am sorry, I know this is biased of me, but I like classically feminine things. Men who aren't afraid to sport some eyeliner, or women who adore their curves, or either gender able to dress like they actually turned the lights on and put some thought into their outfit are incredibly attractive to me. Anything that stands out is sure to catch my attention, from scars to unusual combining of styles. I do that myself. I hate sticking to a label, but I love the styles certain subcultures provide.
4. Artistic talent. Creativity of any sort gets me hot. If you can draw, paint, sculpt, take a beautiful photograph, write, sing, or dance, you immediately become 1000 times more attractive to me. This might be a little pretentious of me, but hey, I like knowing the people I spend my time with can exercise both halves of their head organ.
5. Sexy grey matter. In fact, NOT being intelligent is pretty much a deal breaker for me. There are few things on the planet I will not tolerate, but sheer stupidity is one of of them. This is not to say you must be forming the next theory of relativity in your head during every moment of the day, but seriously, talk to me in big words, and I might be completely ga-ga over you by the end of conversation one. Only if you know what they mean though..
6. A dark and twisted sense of humour. I have a pretty strong penchant for the morbid. I am one twisted f*ck. I like to look at pictures of corpses. I browse rotten.com for fun. Blood turns me on. I find zombies sexy. I'm a sadist, and I'm not joking. I think scars are hot. I find humour in the oddest things. I cut people because I like to look at blood (only if they let me, of course). I've always wondered what human tastes like. Satanists fascinate me. I study demons, dark goddesses, and the devil in my spare time. I used to work at a funeral home and I thought it was the coolest job on earth. I have framed pictures of dead people hanging in my room...like pictures taken after their death. I would love to own a hearse. Bands that sing about death make me happy in my girl places. I think Ohgr from Skinny Puppy is the sexiest man on earth. I want to decorate my house with bloody dolls and coffins. If any of this scares you, you probably won't get past one conversation with me.
7. GeeK IS Sexy. Ignore all that dark crap I just wrote. I'm a complete dork. A walking paradox. I'm a vintage geek, a history geek, and a gamer geek. So if you like pretty much any part of the past to obsession and/or play MMORPGs, we will probably get along just fine. Especially if you dress the part. Yes, I'm serious, and, since I know you are wondering...the 1950s. When I dress up, if it's not my typical weird cybergoth/gangsta girl/steampunk mix, it's Donna Reed gone terribly, horribly wrong, all the way.
8. Cybergoths and Steampunks. Seriously, I know I'm sad. But NOTHING catches my eye more than a person with dreds in a gas mask with neon crap sticking out of various parts of their anatomy. Or someone who dresses like a cybernetic serial killer from Victorian England. There is just something SO HOT about it. I'm weird, and shallow. But at least I'm shallow in an interesting and twisted way....
9. A little bit of attention. Underneath it all, I'm a girl. Sorry. I know, I suck. It's the little things that count. Remembering something tiny about me, doing something small, or taking just a moment out of your day to show me I mean something to you is the WORLD to me. I've been on the receiving end of the "lover/friend who takes me for granted/acts like I don't exist until they want me for something/keeps me around as a matter of convenience" syndrome more than a few times, and it kinda gets under my skin. I'm not like one of those 24/7 the world-revolves-around-me attention whores (EW!), but showing me you are thinking about me in some way is a really good way to make me happy. Making me smile, truly, is a rare thing. If you can do it, you've won 100% of the battle. Some people from fubar actually stick out in my head as the most thoughtful people I've ever known. Because of that, I will be a loyal friend to them for life. They know who they are...look through my family. All of them have managed to touch me in some way, probably more than once.
10. Be real, yo. Nothing annoys me more than people who try to be something they aren't. I admit, I've tried in the past, usually for a work situation, and I epic faill at it. I tried once for a marriage too....that REALLY didn't go well. I'm a pretty darn crazy mix of shit...an Italian girl who grew up in Jersey, but has lived all over the world. A goth/cybergoth/steampunk/lolita/geek/vintage girl who can't seem to shake her ghetto. A pastor's daughter who passed through superhero Christianity, Wicca, voodoo, Asatru, Satanism, demonology, and finally found her niche in kind of a weird mix of all of it. A Domme with a heart of gold who would do anything for the people she loves. A polyamourous, bisexual chick with a soul as loyal as a puppy. A sadist with a mean streak who is still the nicest person you will ever meet. A sick f*ck who loves kitsch AND the grotesque. A grown woman who delights in screwed up dolls, blood, candy, cupcakes, and Hello Kitty. A scientist and an artist all at once. I promise you could not be more eclectic and "other" than me. So just be you. I promise you, no matter what, I will NEVER judge you for who you are, no matter how weird that you seems to be. If you are a fake...I will see through you. So don't even try, ok? I lurves you just the way you are already!! Fake people are certifiably my biggest turn-off.
Ok, these last few are gonna be shallow...they are just what I find sexy, in their raw form.
11. Tattoos, piercings, dressing like a hot motherf*cker, and anything else you can do to make you more unique and interesting. I am especially fond of corset piercings, sleeves (like the inked kind), snakebites, scarificications, tattooed hands, fishnet, gas masks, dreds, boys in eyeliner/nail polish, day-glo hair (especially pink or green), platform boots, and well done make-up jobs.
12. Curves, curves, curves in all the right places on girls, and scrawny/lithe bodies on men. Either way, pale as death (obviously only if you are Caucasian, and yes, I find people of other races attractive as well). Tans are gross. Sorry. We all have preferences, and those are mine. I'm pretty short, so I tend to lean toward people I don't have to crane my neck to look at it. And I like pretty, feminine looking people. Really masculine guys and butch women just don't do it for me. And anyone that shaves or waxes their body hair...oh yeah, I'm putty. Mold me. Ok, there are all my shallow bits in a nutshell. A killer personality or sexy brain will nullify most of these things...but not all. Looks aren't everything, but they do matter, sorry. Anyone who says different is lying or drunk.
13. Personal hygeine. No exceptions. I have OCD (like I'm on meds for it), and although it's mostly directed at my own habits, a person who takes good care of themselves is a HUGE turn-on for me. I don't like it when people let themselves go. It says a lot about your self-esteem, ambition and sense of worth. And confident people are smexy. We all have our moments of humble and doubt, myself ncluded. I really don't think I'm all that. But it doesn't mean I shouldn't be the best me I am capable of.
Ok, I'm done bitching. now you know WHY I say I'm incredibly picky. Everyone run now. But hey, if you are reading this, you probably already know me, which means you have more than a few of these qualities or we wouldn't be jivin' yo, so *big thumbs up*.
