Challenge: Attraction

I saw this challenge on Janetha’s blog. And she saw it on Eliza’s blog. And I decided it looked pretty cool and unique and like I could have some fun with it.
The challenge is this
For each of the 30 days, I am supposed to discuss my thoughts and ideas on it. Ramble away. The opposite of Golden Silence .
I won’t do them all, and won’t do them in order, but I thought today would be a good day to tackle at least one of them.
I could choose an easier one, i.e. Day 21 , but I will go with Day 26 because I’d like all of you to chime in, too, and it’s a good thought-provoking question.
Day 26 – What kind of person attracts you
For me, I am attracted (not romantic attraction) to people who are:
Intelligent. Above all else, if you aren’t playing with a full deck of gray matter, I simply won’t be attracted to that person.
Positive, Upbeat, a Positive Spirit . By and large, I am a positive person. I don’t allow myself to get bogged down in negativity and am not attracted to people who have “woe is me” days, every day . Not everyone has a great day, every day. We all have our whines . Ranting and raving is totally allowed, but if someone’s glass is always half-empty, or just flat out empty, rather than glass is half full, I am not attracted to that. It brings me down when I hang around people like that and the older I get, the faster I recognize it when someone is like that and then distance myself.
Honest, Trustworthy
Sincere, Genuine, Real, Authentic
Have a sense of humor, Witty, Funny
Quirky, Offbeat, Funky
Kind
Compassionate, Empathetic
Open-minded
Giving
Outgoing, Friendly, Talkative
Before this sounds like a personals ad for a dating service, I’ll stop there.
From my last post on Food, Or Other Things . It was fun to hear what you’d prefer to find or discover. A foodie find, or a something else find. The consensus was that it’s a case-by-case basis.
I’d rather find Raw Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls than a can of tuna. But I’d rather find a $100 bill on the ground than said cookie dough balls. But I’ll keep on dreaming for that one.
And I liked your thoughts on One Big Ticket Item vs. Many Smaller Ticket Items .
Fresh, fast Lunch or Dinner Idea: Raw Pasta & Raw Marinara Sauce
If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to peel long ribbons of zucchini. I did a kitchen appliances post ( Favorite Kitchen Appliances & Items ) and do recommend a spiralizer. It’s 29.99 well spent, IMO. But a veggie peeler will work to make zuke ribbons. And just throw some tomatoes and herbs in a blender and you have raw marinara sauce. Easy.

Questions:
- What’s going on for you this weekend?
I’m working, getting some workouts in, and planning a birthday party for someone special!

- Is there anything that’s an absolute turn off in someone? A deal-breaker for sure?
Things that come to mind for me are lying, mean-spirited-ness, physical fighting, not caring about one’s health, not having drive and ambition.
- What attracts you to someone?
Can’t wait to hear your answers!
