I think after a while how you perceive your significant other (physically) evolves... But in the beginning I dont think simply a smart/compassionate/ect type is going to be enough.
I think in our puritanical based society we have this tendency to down play sex and how crucial it is in our lives... Some of us like to kid ourselves into believing sex is somehow a 'lesser' important attribute compared to 'intelligence', 'success', 'personality', ect. I think such thinking is flawed :) I never understood why some adults have such a conscious (or subconscious) aversion to placing attraction/sex high on their list of important qualities... I mean, seriously, who are we really fooling? :stoned:
