Day 26 - What kind of person attracts you.
Life is what happens when you should be updating livejournal!
Right. I'm going to assume that this question takes into account physical attractiveness and personality. Personality is easy - if you've got a sense of humor (the slightly skewder the better!) and a passion for something, be it writing, gaming, music, drama, art, Disney movies, snails or anything, then I'm likely to get on with you. Extra points if we can have a really good debate, as well as talk pure shite. Probably within the same conversation.
Physical is harder. When I started dating Ash, one of my friends met him and straight away commented that he wasn't my 'usual chunky type'. I hadn't realised I HAD a type until she pointed it out! And I still don't think I do really, it just happened that the personalities attracted me (although I will say that Ash is the only boyfriend I've properly fancied BEFORE he asked me out, so maybe lithe is my type and I just never knew!). It's the same in platonic friendships too - I have friends of all shapes and sizes, genders and races, and degrees of beauty. Since I don't think I'm pretty, I think I tend to ignore what someone looks like. As long as they're not oozing from the eyes or nose, sweating profusely, very smelly or too far through my personal bubble I'll give anyone the benefit of the doubt.
I must admit that I do have that natural 'ergh' reaction to people who are extremely fat though. Not large (I have a few larger friends who carry it well and wouldn't look like themselves thin) but those people who you look at and can see every greasy take out they've ever had in the past and every heart attack they're going to have in the future. They're probably really nice people though, so although they'd immediately get ruled out of the romantic attraction, I wouldn't necessarily wipe them from my friends list.
