I think the politically-correct answers are meant as in-addition-to being hot/rich.

Hmmm.....
my wife is hot and rich.
Sweeeeeeet.
You can talk all fancy but it's tough to argue with what has worked forever.

Seriously.

Hmmmm.
My first suggestion is to think like a hunter/fisherman.
You can't expect to take big game if you are hunting in the rabbit forest.
Who am I kidding. I got lucky.

I don't think its necessarily shallow to want to be attracted to someone you see as a prospective partner. In fact, I'm more worried about people like my sister who say that when they first met their significant other, they thought they were horribly unattractive but slowly learned to "look past" their looks and see the real person underneath. That makes me worry that they will be more likely to give into physical tempation if it ever arises and cheat on their partner with someone the ARE immediately attracted to.
For me, I don't care about a woman's income at all, as long as she is educated and classy.

It's true that we (girls) all look for financial stability and or looks, but we still dump them faster than light when we find them to be self absorbed jerks. Those relationships just can't last forever, typically.

the only problem with the "research" is it assumes you are speed-dating and that speed-dating actually works on some level. Most people take more than 5 minutes to get to know someone.

LOL wow. Interesting thread.
I too am a bit concerned with those people who are now married and claim that when they first met their signif other, they were not attracted to them at all but as the years/time went by.. the learned to get over these flaws and love them for them. Is that settling for less than what you want??
HMMMMMM..
Everyone has standards. I know for a fact that I'm extremely picky. But now I'm super happy with the man in my life!

Is that settling for less than what you want?? Not attracted to them as in they found the other person ugly or just not their taste? I know for me theres alot of people i find great-looking yet im just not attracted to them.Does that make sense?

physically they don't find them attractive as well as emotionally.. but then magically they grow to like them? Eeeh seems like settling for less.
chemistry is definitely the big thing though

I think it's all about the "chemistry". Again the theory about scent and immune system. If the other one has a immune system very different from your own you find them attractive. That's rather a new theory I've never heard of. Did you write something about it somewhere? I ought to give it a good read. I would've thought you'd want to choose a partner who has similiar immune system, you know, the whole biological strongest being the best thing. I guess not necessarily?

Pheromones and stuff? I agree with that somewhat but i dont know much about it.

actually I look for intelligence and a quick wit + someone with drive (i.e. not wayward) and who looks after themselves.
Usually they all come together, but not always.
