Forget brute force. I value quiet confidence and a man with direction. Attraction for me is a guide to life's depths: a thoughtful, analytical mind, a gaze that holds real feeling, and someone who prizes intelligence over just a pretty face.
Turn offs:
What truly pushes me away is a crude manner of speaking, a passive approach to life, compliments that feel empty and rehearsed, and a mind that shows no spark of curiosity—neither for the world around us, nor for the intricate world of emotions.
