These were the things in people I found attractive when I was 20 years old:
1. A deep speaking voice (preferably in a British accent).
2. White hair (I am not kidding)
3. Ability to quote scripture (in KJV version only, as I was Reformed Bible-Presbyterian)
4. A sense of humour like Bill Bryson (in fact I said I would marry anyone with his sense of humor)
5. People who can speak many languages (with at least one being Chinese)
6. People who have worked abroad or are well-travelled.
7. People who can make other people laugh (e.g. Bill Bryson, see above)
8. Natural cooks
9. People who listen and talk in the ratio of 2:1
10. People who can do any one or more of the following: draw portraits of old people/play the cello or French horn/write children's poetry.

Things I find attractive at 30:
1. A person who can make people laugh but who also enjoy other people's humor (these do not always go together)
2. People who enjoy food but take care of their health
3. Great tennis coaches/art teachers/dance instructors/teachers in general.
4. People who have as many friends of the same gender as they do of the opposite (not as common as you think)
5. Men who don't mind their wives earning more than them.
6. People over 30 who still read.
7. People who can doing things alone.
8. People who are interested in relationships/marriage but don't talk about them all the time.
9. People who live richly but do not need to optimize everything to the nth degree.
10. Authentic people

I think there are still some similarities in the 20 and 30 lists. But attractive people are starting to fall into a certain pattern. I wonder who will be the attractive people at 40. If I still keep this blog at that time, I will write about them.
