    How was you attracted to your spouse and visa/versa?

    Clothes, personality, hobbies/interests, income or what?

    For wife and I, when we met at a Denny's, it was clothes, personality and interests. I had placed a person ad in local magazine and she answered it thru a recorded message. We both showed up wearing cowboy hats. I was in Wrangler jeans and she had on Roper jeans. Actually, in her hat, Roper jeans, western blouse and blazer she looked totally like a Western Horse Show Judge. She loved my humor and we had a whole lot of the same interests, including rodeo. She told me, "the first time I seen you in the saddle, on a horse, I was totally in love all over again."

    Funny, but on our first date in March 2000, to meet with her older sister, her husband, a niece and her husband at a country-western nightclub, her niece told her, after seeing me do a 2-step with her Aunt (my wife), "yes, he's a keeper!".

    Met my best friend at a Mexican eating place, somehow the topic got to fishing and shooting, well she used to be a fishing guide, had Shimano Tackle, Simms clothing & Danner boots, not what your twice a year outdoor person has, 1st date ended up at Gun Club, 3 months later we did a low light night shoot together on NY Eve.
    8 yrs later still going strong. Good cook loves outdoors, likes dogs, had boat and pickup. Dentist by profession.

    From the very start we were talking and we still are - lots of couples don't communicate which is sad
    The main attraction was his lovely eyes and wonderful sense of humour - we're a good match :)

    I think clothes involves appearance.

    He lived exactly 2 apartments above me and we kept getting each other's mail due to same last names and first and middle initials. I would just drop his off at the desk every day when I realized it wasn't mine, but one evening he rang my bell. I was marking papers from my nursing students and was rather startled since we lived in a high security building. When I cracked the door, there stood a 6'4" good looking fellow with some envelops in his hand. The rest is history.

    I thought Hal was being witty, because the first thing Cody mentioned he found attractive was his wife's clothing... correct me if I'm wrong Hal..
