Mrs Merton asked Debbie Magee:

"So, what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?"

1:3
2:8
3:9
4:2
5:1
6:7
7:6 few years back this would have been No:1 !!!
8:10
9:5
10:4 put this last as children already grown up so a bit late for this.

[woofgang]

sexual mastery??????? what time machine are you using?

[jd_1984]

woofgang. I was wondering how to put that one....
Wanted something better than "decent sh*g" but clearly I should have called it what it was as it caused some confusion!!

[ummmm]

Are you going to answer the Q, jd-?

[jd_1984]

I am a bloke ummmm but if you want me to answer with women in mind.......

1. A sense of fun - 8
2. A sense of humour - 9
3. Class - kind of irrelevant, she doesnt need to be from "good stock" or anything just a good person
4. Parental skills (or promise of) - 7
5. Romance - 9
6. Sexual Mastery - 8
7. Generosity - 7
8. Attentiveness - 8
9.Intellegence - 8
10. Looks / physical appearence - 9 (although this releative but I beleive an initial attraction must be there before you start a relationship and therefore find the above out)

jd - I hope you don't think I am cheeky but I am curious as to shy you are asking this question?

[mrs_overall]

*why*

[ummmm]

/(although this releative but I beleive an initial attraction must be there before you start a relationship and therefore find the above out) /

Not always. I've known my OH forever, more or less, never found him attractive, but I fell in love with him and now I think he's gorgeous. He's everything I would like to be, but never will.

[jd_1984]

Long story short......
A work friend has just started a relationship and has stated that she, despite very early days, is already eyeing him up as a suitable husband/father. So I suggested that perhaps you need more time to ensure he has all the qualities one would need from a partner, especially if you start a family.
This then triggered an office debate as to what importance do you put on certain qualities and is it age.situation dependant.

[jd_1984]

//He's everything I would like to be, but never will. //

Is that not the attarctive part of him then. I wasnt meaning (directly) how attractive they may be physically. A personality trait may be the attractive thing.

[mrs_overall]

Ok jd, thanks for that

[ummmm]

Yes, it is :-)

[Hopkirk]

Not busy in your office today then, JD?

[jd_1984]

Not today so far Hopkirk.
Busy Monday/Tuesday. Today we are not busy until about 2pm and I wont finish until 8pm ish :(

Good sense of humour is important to me, also good in the sack important and as we're having our first baby in late June, hope he has good parental skills, but pretty certain he will. He's not the most gorgeous looking bloke, but I adore his smile .....
