To put it simply : i am turned on or off by another's mind...hmmm brains...delicious brains...!
Age and gender are irrelevant to whether or not i will be attracted to someone.
I won't say looks are irrelevant although i have no bias against 'ugliness' whatever that is. Actually i have become biased against typical 'good' looks unless they are tempered by evidence of rejection of society's (in my opinion) dreadful values.
Things which are completely revolting to me mostly correlate with what the rest of society apparantly find attractive. If someone looks 'preeny', over-produced, fashionable etc or are flaunting wealth/power as though these are presumed attractive, i know immediately to avoid them as they are usually extremely superficial and vacuous idiots.
Once i am attracted to someone or even know them quite well i can no longer even really see whether or not they are good looking. Sorry, i can't quite seem to think how to explain why at the moment.
Androgeny, not necessarily in appearance but in mind, as the gender stereotypes disgust me. Wasn't the evolutionary psychology class a lesson on what behaviours to avoid?? Anima/animus must be developed.
Romance sickens me unless it's an ironic overturning of the mandatory pinkness which pervades all areas of relationships - which mocks the standard, for example my partner and i decided to marry as it was the simpler/cheaper way to deal with citizenship issues. We chose 21st december i.e. the shortest day of the year. So romantic!
When someone says something like 'you are pretty' etc as part of an attempt at seduction i want to kill myself with a spoon - what relevance does it have to anything?? Fortunately age will presumably render such declarations extinct.
I do not like to be needed - not in the short term physical necessity sense of 'i've broken my leg and need you to look after me for a few weeks' but in the 'my life is meaningless without you' sense...argghhh i'm locked in a cupboard with no possible escape...want me but don't need me!
What turns me on the most is (preferably superior) intellect from which i can learn, combined with an acerbic/ironic/black and sometimes self-deprecating humour. A touch of justified arrogance is also not undesirable!
Sometimes conversation is more intimate and erotic than sex!!
Have you asked this question to assist your seduction of an INTP, TimeAsylums? Or is it just the usual brain-probing of which you are so fond?
