I generally agree.

But that word "interesting" gets thrown around a lot - it's kind of vague and means different things to different people.

What does "interesting" mean to you?
Of course, but I find it hard to define.
You can feel if someone thinks about themselves that they are interesting.
 
Turn ons
  • someone who can see things like the beach and still be amazed by it no matter how many times they see it.
  • someone with a wide variety of interests in food, music, movies, fun
  • someone who is always trying to improve themselves
  • someone who is always interested in learning new things
  • someone who appreciates nice things but isnt interested in 'keeping up with the Jones'
  • a genuinely kind person who considers the thoughts and feelings of others

Turn offs
  • someone who loves to flirt or be extra friendly to the opposite sex just to get their attention and admiration with no real interest in a meaningful relationship with them
  • someone who makes fun of or bullies people/groups who they find lesser then them
  • someone who is a 'social climber'
  • someone whose temper goes from 0-100 real quick.
 
Turn offs:

- meanness, lack of compassion, coldness, haughtiness, self-righteousness, inability or refusal to see outside one's own experiences
- need for dominance (in men, and in the world) and hierarchical thinking, instead of agreeability -
thinking that we HAVE to have dominance and hierarchies, instead of being able to just live our lives and evolve beyond constant competition and power struggles


Turn ons:

- imagination/creativity
- sincerity and sweetness
- wholesomeness
- round features and soft, squishy, cuddly curves
