Traits that make you sizzle or fizzle
All sorts of traits can make a member of the opposite sex appear attractive, even outside of his or her physical appearance.
Last night I was talking with a friend who works with children, and she said how seeing a guy play with kids made him appear extra hot to her. She immediately noted that our friend who dislikes children would probably have looked at the same guy and said, "Blech!"
Some characteristics that often make me look twice at a guy include: a love for puppies, knowledge of how to play an instrument (guitar then piano in order of hotness), the ability to play with children and being a hard worker at his job.
All the things we see a member of the opposite sex do that, basically, makes us want to melt or jump 'em, are indicative of personality traits that are important to us in a mate. Playing with children, for example, indicates that a man would be a good father, so a woman who wants kids may be interested in seeing a man interact with little tykes.
At the same time, some actions can be a complete turn-off. A guy can be a total hottie in my eyes until he lights up a cigarette. And he can be God's gift to women until he shoots a squirrel with a pellet gun. Then all bets are off.
What are some of the little things a man or woman may do that makes you look twice? What do you think that means about what you're looking for in a mate? Conversely, what are some major turnoffs that can make a hottie turn into a dud?

Turn ons: Good with kids, clean apartment/house/car, musical ability or at the very least an appreciation.
Turn offs: Smoking (ugh, I agree), chewing with your mouth open (that's a deal breaker right there), no interest in the arts, hunting.
Nothing is hotter than a man who will clean my house! I'll follow you anywhere!
One of the best things, for me, is a guy who can cook...and well!
Turnoff? Guys with ridiculous tempers!
turn on: Southern Gentlemen
turn off: Red necks
