I think there has to be some physical attraction. Not to be shallow, but I think that is often where things start when two people are attracted to one another. I am attracted to body hair and facial hair obviously. Generally, there is something about a man's eyes that I find drawing me in. It's not a shape of the eye or the color necessarily, but an expressiveness that I see in them. I do like a man's chest to be furry and I do like him to have a bit of meat on his bones, as too thin tends to turn me off (we're still in the physical realm here).
As for the more meaningful aspects of the man, I enjoy a good sense of humor, someone with some similar interests and some not-so-similar, as I would want to experience new things. He would have to be a somewhat independent person, not needing another person to become complete as much as wanting another person to share in his life. He would have to be stable and happy with his work (to at least the extent most of us are). He would be intelligent, but not necessarily book smart. Ideally, he would be someone who could have a good constructive argument with me, but could also appreciate the absurd and southern humor.

Good heavens... this seems like a lot...
