Iqqi, you've argued that it's NOT looks, that it's NOT money, that it's NOT status, that it's NOT genes. The only thing I can recall you said it WAS, was a thread you started about why a guy "SHOULD" buy you a drink. I don't claim to be aware of all you've written, but this is what springs to mind.
My thread that you are referring to was a field report, not an essay on any actual knowledge.

So, as one of the resident chicks here, how bout you clue us in on what it IS: not looks, not money, not status, not genes. OK. That pretty much just leaves "personality," I guess. Not that "personality" is a one-dimensional thing --- confidence, C+F, the "cool" factor, humor, intelligence, etc.
So what IS it, IQQI? Or is it just generally the "whole package"?
If it's not money or looks or status, then personality, or the "whole package," or "he bought me a drink" are just about all that's left.
You keep telling us what is NOT necessary...... Well, then clue us in..... what IS?
It is the whole package. When it is about just one thing, you can pretty much sum up the person by that. I.E. if the main attraction is money/status/career the girl is a gold digger. If the main attraction is sex, the girl might just be a h0.
Most women fall in love with a man because of all of his traits that make him, HIM. I will say that many times a man might have a "hook", or something that is unique about him that the woman finds irresistable. This is what keeps her coming back, as she discovers more of his traits. This would be called "getting to know" him.
Attraction has more to do with charisma. A man with charisma will snatch a chick up from Donald Trump, and he will snatch a chick up from Brad Pitt. Unless Brad or Donald have charisma too, which they just might. I haven't met them, I don't know.
And charisma, is personality.
It is intangible, unlike looks, or status, which might make it an intimidating factor for men who lack it. Naturals know exactly what I am talking about.
All these theories on hardwired subconscious evolved mate selection could be debunked just by taking a look around you.
Genes just don't matter.

Just gimme a brief, direct list of what does it for ya.
Well, Alias, since you asked.
A sense of humour. A nice smile (this is subjective, Keto...). Wit. Intelligence. A similar outlook on life. Sexuality. Those are some things that I value.
If he is handsome, great!!!
If he is rich... greater!!!
If he isn't handsome... well you remember my last field report. Personality trumps looks.
Those things (looks, status) are just icing on the cake. The cake is the sustenance.

you're going to have to do better than the amorphous concept of "life experience," too. What does THAT mean, exactly?
Life experience is what shapes a man's personality.
Genes are what shapes a man's physical being.
Life experience trumps genes.
