Question What Attracts Other People To You?

What makes people like you most? We know what attracts us to other people, but what do you think it is about you that attracts other people to you? What kind of people do you wish would be attracted to you? What kind of people do you wish would not be attracted to you?

................
People are attracted to me because I am friendly, honest and straightforward. I am also a kind person and get on well with everyone regardless. I've been told many times that I am a 'people's person'.

I take people as they come so I don't wish any particular person would be attracted to me.

Yeah, I am nice, friendly and all that stuff too... sometimes, but the best compliment I ever received is a person telling me that I was not phony. It almost brought a tear to my eye because that is what I want people to get out of me and thats about more important than a person telling me that I am nice. That combined with my stale sense of humor, facial expressions and kindness is what I feel attracts people to me.


What kind of people do you wish would not be attracted to you?
The ones who are all about that drama and who don't have good intent in mind. And those old men with that one dangling tooth in the front of their mouth talking about can I call you.

i dont know what attracts people. everybody say something different. I hear mostly that i'm cool person to talk to and that i'm spontaneous down for whatever. I like when people think that i'm spontaneous the they ahve the personality to match. I do things creatively and spur of the moment.

Ok....I'm probably going to offend a few people, so I apologize in advance.

What makes people like you most?

I'm not sure. It probably has to do with trying to figure our what makes me tick. Also, my outspoken and witty nature. I'm a natural smart @$$.

We know what attracts us to other people, but what do you think it is about you that attracts other people to you?

I have no idea. I think I give off a vibe that I don't judge people, but I'm not sure.

What kind of people do you wish would be attracted to you?

Attractive people, or at least people I find attractive.

What kind of people do you wish would not be attracted to you?

The opposite.


I know this wasn't exactly about romantic involvements, but as far as my friends (the fellas) go, I guess we all came together because we're interested in the same stuff.

When they find out that I'm a regular person, not "uppity" like they thought initially.

What do you think it is about you that attracts other people to you?

I look "safe." When I used to have to go to business conventions, I would be working the crowd, and somebody that I don't know, who had seen me or somebody that looked like me before, would come up and tell me how they don't like crowds, but they had seen me before at such-and-such place so they thought they could come talk to me. These were male and female, black and white...mostly white women and black men.

What kind of people do you wish would be attracted to you?

I like meeting all kinds of people, as long as they're not creepy.

What kind of people do you wish would not be attracted to you?

I have attracted some creeps in my day.

Hmm...good question. As mean/sarcastic/blunt as I can be, I'm surprised I attract anyone! I would have to say my weird sense of humor, honesty, and genuinely kind heart are what attracts people. Some people say I have an air of mystery about me, maybe some folks are attracted to that...who knows. Maybe I'll ask someone.
What kind of people do you wish would be attracted to you?
People with a nice balance of commonalities and differences to me, who are genuine & sincere (if we're talking romantically, then I'd add other stuff).
What kind of people do you wish would not be attracted to you?
Those who have ongoing drama/issues, are close-minded, thinking their opinions are facts, and selfish....basically any jerks.

I'm pretty cool and reserved when I first meet people, so I think I may give off the impression that I'm stuck up. But I'm really just feeling things out. I look people in the eyes, not just at them but straight into the eyes, and I think this is disconcerting for some people. But on the other hand other people (usually those considered low-class like janitors, or homeless people, someone asking for spare change) seem to see it as a sign of openness and honesty.

I think what attracts others to me is that they sense that I generally like people and I have a confidence about myself and a comfort within myself that folks gravitate too. Plus, hell, I'm good people!
