THINGS THAT MAGNETIZE ME: Confidence. Masculinity. Being on some kind of spiritual path. Being in shape/athletic. Being gifted in many ways: physically, intellectually, emotionally, creatively. Passion. High libido. Physical affection (lots of it). Monogamy. Knowing what you want, and not being afraid to ask for it. Political consciousness. Having a moral compass, and knowing what direction it's pointing in.

THINGS THAT REPEL ME: Polo shirts with the collars turned up. Satanism. Cigarettes. Sashaying and saying "gurl" a lot. Cat-hating. Excessive snoring. Drug addiction. Narcissism. Pessimism. Dishonesty. Republicans. Excessive cologne and deodorant. Low libido. Guys who suffer from the madonna/whore complex or a paralyzing fear of intimacy.

See above, under heading of THINGS THAT MAGNETIZE ME.

I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
She cried to me, "Hey! Why not ask for more?!"

- Leonard Cohen
