    Attractive comes more than looks when you get older. Sometimes attractive can include your clothes; and or character, material possesions, hair, makeup, and your goals in life.

    They like very white, ghostly looking people.
    Are you saying you're ghostly?

    Just like it was stated. I wouldn't interpret it any way. I'd say thank you and go on.

    I feel when we're younger its more about the looks and as we get older we realise there is more to a person and take their personality into consideration

    That they find me attractive? Is this a trick question? Visually (or mentally, or both) pleasing in a way that stirs emotional and sexual desires? Doesn't mean they plan to act on the attraction however.

    they'd want some vitamin D in their diet.

    or they're just being nice.

    or they legit like me and just want to make me smile.

    or it could just be an observation.

    Vitamin D in their diet? That's hilarious

    I seen men that were attractive but i didn't want to become intimate with them. It really depends in how you presented yourself.

    I'm saying I'm pretty much the definition of whitey.
    I'd say that's attractive

    same here. i can say brad pitt's a good looking dude and that be all it is. i can say that megan fox is attractive, but she doesn't get my motor running either.

    context matters too. if its some rando here on the boards, doesn't mean all that much. if its a girl i know, and she's humping my leg and saying she loves tall dudes and she says i'm "attractive"...that might be taken another way.

    Well okay, I see how it is now! I thought we were something special! :'(

    Lol same here I'd second guess them and look deeper into what they said. The other day a guy told me I looked like a barbie doll and I was contemplating whether he meant it in a good or bad way . BTW you are an attractive person :) keep smiling
