Since the other thread didn't seem to go the right way.

Okay, a week or so back, I was reading a "do you like shy guys" thread wherein all these shy guys insist they're more interesting than outgoing guys, and a few slightly-deluded girls say YES, that is what I am TOTALLY into. It made me think of making a thread in the same vein, but with passive guys instead of shy.

Turns out passive guys are defensive. BUT ANYWAY, it also turned out to be me insulting a bunch of people, which wasn't what I was aiming for.

I think shyness (and passiveness, although I was the only one to ever mention that) is a weird trait to be attracted to. On the face of it, it's claiming that you find people who do not like to talk to other people, and will only talk to you after you put in a large investment of time and effort, attractive.

I can see how it's neutral, or that it can be common in the types of people you like*, but to be singled out as a trait you are hot for is really off.

What other traits do people claim to be hot for, but seem really bizarre to be attracted to?

* such as nerds, for you are nerd yourself. Why lie.

How ya doing, buddy?

God bless you, russ, for going where no man will ever go again.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I dunno, makeup in general seems very unattractive to me, with the exception of moderate amounts of lipstick and blush.

for starters, THANK YOU FOR GOING BACK ON TOPIC.

The passive thread is still being bumped, go passive up that.

On to your post, it's really just adding color and interest to your face. That's really it, I guess. I don't wear much makeup out of laziness more than anything else.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
