What are you attracted to?

[Weemie]

Do you mean aromatic? If so you are not alone. As I get older my senses have changed with a general loss of their younger strengths. I don't smell as good as I used to

I can't tell if this is a joke or not so apologies hahaha, although I also relate to this! I smoked for years so my sense of smell is gonezo. But aromantic is like a-romantic, meaning "without romance." I only want platonic relationships, not romantic partners.

As of late I am attracted to arrogant men, but before I realize they are arrogant. And then once I realize they are, then there is an internal conflict where I know they are no good for me but I am still attracted in some way.

Cha. I loooooove/adore cocky, but arrogant can f*ck right off.

I’d never really understood? saw? could explain? difference until I read one of the “Girl Who…” books where a passing line read “She loved cocky bastards, but she hated arrogant pricks”… and I burst out laughing. Because it was so true. For me, anyway.

They’re both different flavors of self confidence… that includes others. One in a very rising tides lifts all boats, and the other putting others down to lift yourself up.

The self confidence that extends TO you? Not a bad trait to be attracted to. There are maybe 19 different flavors of that (not just cocky/arrogant); and maybe 40 that don’t include others, at all.

Well that’s hopeful. Gotta figure that out. Nuance was never my strong point in figuring out people.

Yeah this is the ticket. Cocky in a fun, everyone feels good being around them is attractive. Holier than thou, better than everyone else…major ick!

I’m in tatters, simply shattered ! Works for me. Don’t need no explanations.

Romantically or more: slime guys with glasses, better with androgynous face. Red haired girls, better to not be too slime.

Personnality, friendship : curious, kind or at least not hate driven, dark sens of humour is really cool and ability take time for everydays things.

In fiction : dark past, suffering a lot, willpower, self-blaming is a bonus.

In all case being smart is dream-fulling to me

 

[Lost in the Woods]

Smart, fit, sense of adventure, twisted sense of humor, playful.

slime

Slime or slim? Both are valid in English, but with veeeeeery different meanings.

Der schleim (slime) or schlank (slim/slender)

Slime/mucous = visqueuse &/or mielleux or mielleuse (slimy person)
Slim/slender = Mince? "Il est grand et mince" He is tall & slim.

Red haired girls, better to not be too slime.

English usually goes slim/athletic/voluptuous/Rubanesque (from the artist Ruben); although voluptuous (big boobs & big asses) can all 3; slim, athletic, or Rubanesque.

 

[Givrali]

ahah, slim of course

 

[Givrali]

I would said Voluptuous I guess, It's already hard to find the "right" apparence in french so in another language...

Right?!?

English is so limited in its descriptions of beauty, love, attraction, courage. And so many other things.

I try to remind myself that English is the creole of attempting to converse between Norse, French, German, Celtic, Latin, & local languages… it’s simplified. Trade tongue. Taken over a third of the planet. When a language only has accents, instead of dialects? It’s “new”. Major concepts, rather than the subtleties.
