Family and relationships always remain one of the most important aspects in the lives of each of us, so it is not surprising that choosing a partner – a person who will be with us throughout our lives (in an ideal case, of course), is so important. Otherwise, you cannot avoid angry or simply disappointed posts in the AITA Reddit community…
However, you can’t do without Reddit anyway. For example, in the AskReddit community, someone recently asked this question: “Guys: What’s something non-sexual that would attract you to a woman?” A rather rare situation, by the way, is when the number of comments in the resulting thread is almost twice as large as the number of upvotes – 2.3K against 1.3K. Anyway, here’s the selection of the most interesting opinions there, made for you by Bored Panda.

Being funny. I met a woman recently who did different voices to describe an interaction she’d had. It was so charming and entertaining.

If they have a similar sense of humor to mine and get my jokes and can make funny jokes themselves. Able to laugh at themselves and not take themselves to seriously. I swoon every time. That s***s more important than looks. Looks fade, personality lasts forever.

Deliberately dancing badly when a bad song is being played.
Almost any woman can dance well or dance sexily but to openly clown around like that is far more attractive.
That’s what actually attracted me to my wife. I later found out she wasn’t trying to be funny, she was just really bad at dancing.

Her being an animal person. I’ve had multiple pets my whole life so it’s pretty much a requirement for me to be in a relationship with someone.
Also if she’s the type of person that doesn’t play mind games and is direct about how she feels.

Humour, geekiness, mischief, artistic ability, storytelling ability.
That’s how I knew my wife was the one.

If they love to read, as it’s something that’s deeply attractive since very few people I know are avid readers.
That and a good sense of humor, especially dark humor :D

#7
Intelligence and charisma.
Having a good talk with a woman has always been a huge turn on for me. I never understood clubbing hookups, doesn’t give me anything, drunk people are a mess…

Quick wit. If she can drop a smart/funny comment in the middle of a conversation, I am in love.

Apparently , my bf was blown away that I cook.
He is used to dating party girls. Skinny, really pretty, club-scene girls that like to do some molly & coke on the weekends and go wild.
Me? Im a single mom and im coming out of a 10 year marriage.
No idea wtf he sees in me.

#13
Being a good person. I was really into this girl who seemed kind and generous, she did some fundraisers for disadvantaged people and stuff like that which made her seem like she would be a really good partner. But then Australia had a referendum on whether or not gay people should be allowed to get married, and she said she was going to vote no because they were unnatural. Immediate turn off.

The way she looks at you. Eyes are my weakness.

#19
I like a woman’s mind, her personality. Being transgressive and creative is very appealing. Being comfortable in who she is. A woman who can just throw on some old clothes and go on an unscripted adventure.

actually caring about me.

Not sexual, but still physical: an emotive face.
Nose scrunch. Active eyebrows. Playful smirk.

Clear idea of what she wants out of life beyond a relationship.

#24
If she’s an Intelligent conversationalist. Able to talk about a myriad of topics from anthropology to digital systems integration, and everything in between. Opinionated but not argumentative.
I want to be around you.

Freckles.

Smiles. It was how my wife smiled that made me take interest in her.
For most guys, nothing is more attractive than a woman who smiles or laughs with them.

I would like to say some form of energy exists. An aura perhaps. There are without question particular women amongst a sea of them that distinctly draw my attention, just for the passing moment. It is observable that it is not some ultra superior beauty. It is just some
I encountered one woman the other day on an elevator and for some unknown reason her energy just melted through my defenses. Stared so deep into her eyes while we briefly interacted that I didn’t see her name badge or remember what exactly her face looked like. I was clearly of higher charisma and libido from the moment I walked in her vicinity. There was nothing sexual about it. A day or two later, like an after shock from an earthquake, I found myself pulled to a sudden sense of pursuing her. I’ve never seen her since and don’t even know if I would recognize her. It completely shifted my demeanor though.
I have moments like these, though not as pronounced as that, with various women I walk past. Never figured it out. It is a refreshing sensation though. Maybe it is pheromones. Maybe women have superpowers.
