Be it a personality quirk, something they’re wearing, or just the way they look. What makes them instantly hot?

    I’m going to be so shallow as to claim that if they look attractive, I find that instantly hot.

      Doesn’t have to be the same attribute for everybody, but most people will find at least one thing universally attractive.

      (Or two. Booooobies…)

        TBF to the guy, I never believed in instant love either for the longest time. Then a couple really shitty things happened, and I was pretty much left with zero emotional anchors. Then attraction/infatuation suddenly went wild, and I was so not ready to cope with it. Maybe that dude is just not there yet for one reason or another. It’s hard to believe in an experience you haven’t had yet.

          I believe he’s taking the question literally, as op asking for some universal truth instead of what each one of us finds personally irresistible.

            I mean, that seems like a pretty dumb conclusion for him to jump to, but yeah, it could be the case I suppose.

      Single straight man that works in child care. Let me tell you, single mom’s treat compassion like catnip. I keep them as far away from me outside of the school environment because me simply enjoying my job which naturally involves compassion is intoxicating to them.

      Hard pass for me dating a single mom but if you are having a hard time as a straight single man dating (only perspective I can give advice on) is to be genuine and compassionate. Instant attraction for 99% of women looking for partners.

        Ive become a bit of a cynic in this area and I think the women seeing your passion for child care and being a nice guy… They know they can wrap you around their fingers and get a lot of benefit from you.

        Nice guys like yourself need to be very careful around todays women.

          Toxic people mistake kindness for weakness and you just told on yourself, assuming everyone thinks the way you do.

            Amazing analys doctor, but I think you may be seeing yourself in this rather than me…

            Im not very toxic, just very honest about what I see. Even when its unpopular.

                  You told a guy who does childcare that women know they can wrap him round their finger, which iabsolutely is mistaking kindness for weakness, a very negative way of thinking, which is the toxic bit.

                  You don’t see at as toxic, but others do and you know it’s unpopular but you do it anyway, which is the no filter bit.

                  Unapologetic and unwilling to reconsider your position, you then start insulting people and being snarky, which is both toxic and lacking a filter.

                  I won’t be surprised if you double down and go more abusive and dismissive in response to what I’ve said because you clearly see no intrinsic merit whatsoever in kindness, so why would you hold back from the nastiest you could be?

                  Some of us learned social lessons at school (alongside academic content). Trump did neither, and thinks that playground bullying is strength. Be less Trumpy.

    Unfortunately, I seem to favor the neurotic. It’s not a thing I can control. I know damn well not to act on it, but attraction/infatuation can be a bastard sometimes. On the flip side, on the not-instant side of things, plenty of togetherness and shows of affection and tenderness can also call forth attraction over time.

          Ouch!

          okay that’s … abusive (on her part)

          and definitely never bed an abuser.

          I guess the trick is finding the right kind and level of emotional issues

    Bravery. My wife she’s a revolutionary. She was on the street when they kicked out the dictator and they were shooting real bullets. I admire her
