Very interesting. My mother was petite and was sort of lax parent (we grew up in a freerange atmosphere. The one problem my parents had was money and they often fought over money. My first wife was not petite but had no money sense. My 2nd partner was petite and was not fiscally responsible. Both women I met. My late partner was the same size as my mother but was as opposite as you could get. We did not meet until we spent 2 months getting to know each other over the phone, When we did meet there wasn't a big attraction.
I agree, take time and get to know the other first. No hot dates or snap decisions. I think slow embers last a lot longer than a roaring fire.

Makes sense to me. I tend not to trust initial intense attractions. For me, someone has to spark my interest to compel me to want to know more.

I cannot remember when I was attracted to anyone at all. Is it because I am so happy and content with my self?

I remember the song..."I want a girl just like the girl that married dear old dad"

Interesting...I can see the logic! I have always needed to have an instant sexual attraction to anyone I ever considered dating. With my husband it was instant and lasting and I haven’t met anyone who I’ve felt that way about again. Since his death I haven’t really been looking to be quite honest, but maybe there would have been a chance with one or two who were interested in me who I would have rated about six on that scale of reckoning. My family would like me to be happy and have companionship as I get older, maybe I will have to rethink this idea of having another partner if the occasion arises, instead of looking for the bells and whistles of instant attraction.

I'm not sure? My high spectrum seems to be getting dimmer. I might be forced to the middle range. Na, maybe I'm prone to be single? Na.

I'll just hum for a while.

I'm a bit of a sapiosexual: attracted to intelligent men with a great sense of humor.

Instead of just sexual attraction (pheromones), my attraction goes deeper than surface level. In my profile, I wrote:

"I'm seeking an athletic, intelligent man with a great sense of humor who treats me with respect and kindness. Shared recreational activities are a bonding experience for couples. That's why I want a man who also loves hiking, and only shoots with a camera.

"Although I'm a great cook, I'm not willing to do all of the meal planning, preparation and cooking. Everyone loves the magic words: "Dinner is served."

"Loving relationships work best when we add a certain spirit, an attitude of goodwill. I wouldn't know a grudge if it mugged me. I miss the tender touch, laughter, conversation, intimacy, teamwork and fun of a committed, loving relationship."
