[quote=Anonymous]I think many people are overlooking how your ideas of what's attractive change over time.  I wasn't really attracted to the nerdy guys in high school.  Oh, we were friends but I didn't find them romantically attractive even though I could appreciate their nice eyes or warm smile.  I was physically attracted to the jock or 'confident' type in high school and in college.  It wasn't until I was in my 20s that I realized that kind of guy just didn't work for me.  I met the guy who would be DH when I was 28.  I've joked with him that I would have been happy to party with him in college but would never have dated him.  If only I knew then what I know now!

I also want to flip this around and talk about girls.  I was a 'cute' girl in high school and college but never had a boyfriend in high school.  Boys weren't interested in me.  They were more interested in the 'pretty' girls.  I also have curly hair which was NOT popular back then and the products weren't nearly as good as they are now.  I didn't date much until after college.  It seems I wasn't the only one maturing and discovering what my 'type' really was.  What I continually find myself attracted to now are guys who have emotional awareness, are available emotionally, I can have an intelligent conversation with, are down to earth, practical and have a 'nice' face.  I'm especially attracted to guys in the trades - not Joe Blow Plumber but the guy who worked his way up and owns his own business or is a sought after craftsman.[/quote]
