For me, it's confidence, level-headedness, occasional boyishness and a bit of attitude. Passion for what they do in life. Sense of humour. Ability to tell a good story. Respect elicited from and given to others. And eyes - intelligent and shameless
Why? To me, these qualities are the essence of masculinity, so being a woman I just can't help myself

It can be as much about a situation you're as is about a person. For example, when I'm travelling, feeling adventurous and free, somehow more attractive people cross my path. Or is it that I see them and the world differently?
And, the person can't be flirting with me, it kills the attraction. It's the same unattainability thing.

I've fallen in love at first sight, although I wouldn't be able to explain what it is about that person that made me fall in love with them. It's just the instant you lay your eyes on that person you feel the world around you change. And you know it's never going to be the same.
When I'm in lust, I feel that I want to make out with the cute guy with art-director glasses, but none of this groundshaking world-changing stuff.
