Recently, talk of "the list" has been in active conversation with friends. It was somewhat foggy in my brain so I wanted to put together something coherent with a gauge to get it clear. Initially, I wasn't even sure of the maximum number allowed, so Kim and I talked about it. We decided on ten. So, without further pause, here we go (starting from absolute best to still amazing):

  1. Anne Hathaway
  2. Zooey Deschanel
  3. Maggie Gyllenhaal
  4. Claudia Black
  5. Jewel Staite
  6. Amanda Tapping
  7. Rosario Dawson
  8. Tina Fey
  9. Jeri Ryan
  10. Vanessa Angel
All of these ladies have a certain characteristics which draws me to them. Many of them are more attractive to me because they play tech-savvy characters in scifi movies/series. However, quirks like a great sense of humor or an amazingly seductive aura prove to be the source of my infatuation. While this list isn't "laminated", most of the women on here have been consistently attractive to me from the moment I saw them. I may come back and rethink the order, but I believe the choices are there to stay.
During the discussion with Kim, she noted that we don't really use the same methodology to choose the people on our respective lists. I would have to agree, though I hadn't really considered the traits women chose for men. This prompted a little further research. Checking with the all-knowing Yahoo! Answers yields some interesting conversation regarding just how women (most commonly) seem to choose men to which they are attracted. I submit the following examples:
I'm pretty clueless about the accuracy of these articles, and they are only meant to stimulate further thought or discussion. Being submitted to the Internet, they probably lack the social filters many would find in books and day-to-day conversations.
I do find that one form of my initial attraction to a woman is the outward personality she exudes through her appearance. I recently saw a great example expressing this exact feeling on geekosystem.com. A picture of Audrina Patridge (whom I'm not particularly attracted to) from a Maxim magazine photo-shoot,  was "hacked" to display her in a more cerebral light, and I do find myself much more interested in her. Here's a link to the article in question: http://www.geekosystem.com/maxim-photo-hack-audrina-patridge/
I hope that Kim will give some thoughts to her list and riposte on the Lady Penguin's Blarg.
