Edith, I agree and will add that for me it's inward character and outward appearance. Certain smiles seem to project empathy and kindness and above all love for one another. It's as if I can see right through their smile into their soul and feel the love.
Hey Everyone!
A quick Google search says that "Kryptonite" is: "an alien mineral that has the property of depriving Superman of his powers; something that can seriously weaken or harm a particular person or thing."
In this thread, let's talk about someone's "kryptonite" as a relatively GOOD thing.
What are the qualities that will always make you notice a person, and maybe even "knock you off your feet" about them? (Whether as a potential date, or a potential friend?)
For instance, I'm always impressed by:
* Good manners -- when they open doors for people, say "please" and "thank you", treat others with kindness, etc. I'm always impressed by those who are kind to employees and fellow customers in all situations (at restaurants, theaters, stores, airports, etc.)
* Biblical knowledge without superiority -- someone who can discuss the Bible well but without trying to impress with "exclusive knowledge" or pride; is gifted in meeting others humbly where they are at.
* Willing to talk about spiritual experiences and gifts but with humility, and is willing to listen about the same in others. For example, I often seem to have a calling to those who have gone through a lot of abuse, often as children, and that can be a tough subject to engage in.
* A realistic attitude -- someone who's neither artificially exuberant nor exceedingly sullen or apathetic. Someone who feels genuine and comfortable to talk to -- which can be frustratingly rare to find.
* Compassionate but with the wisdom to set boundaries -- someone who has the knowledge experience with knowing when to help, and when to avoid enabling.
* And of course, someone who has a great sense of humor and curiosity about life!
How about YOU?
* What qualities in others are YOUR kryptonite -- what things do you see in other people that makes you feel almost "powerless" -- and wanting to know more about them?
* How long does it take you to notice these things -- or are they usually evident early on?
* What is it about these things that you find so attractive?
* Do you find that you have all of the same qualities you're attracted to in others, or do you like the feeling of "opposites attracting"?
Freedom of speech is a fundamental principle, yet I don’t think it would be a good idea to say out loud what would make my knees go weak.
Compassion , when I c that a person has genuine unselfish compassion for others , it's in a person's eyes and it's very rare , unless I've just been unlucky in the company I keep .
People who can just walk away when they know that someone ( or even an animal ) is in distress , leave me cold .

Thank you your post made my day. I have not been well but I laughed so hard.
Hey beautiful Carrie.
please Give us the Recipe for a pie with detailed explanation.
Please @seoulsearch please invite many fine boys to the matchmaking I am coming ready
Hi @Edith!
Great question!
Pies are known for having an outer shell/crust, combined with a filling. The fillings vary and could be made from things like fruit (blueberries, apple, etc.) or creams (coconut, chocolate, etc.)
And they can also be savory, filled with meat, sauce, and veggies:
One of the reasons pies are so popular is because they are so versatile, and you can put almost anything in them.

Lol!
One thing I have learned about guys is that food is a pretty reliable lure/bait.
I'm guessing if we disguise a big Matchmaking/Speed Dating session as a Pie-Eating Contest or Buffet, the boys will show up -- and might not catch on until it's too late!!

Especially one could have a finger in the pie.

@Edith, my dear, you've just given me a new idea for a thread!
I just need to work out the details...
That was a home run lol.
For me it's finding someone who can still *see the magic* despite the evil times we live in. If they should love letting their inner child out to play too, we'll be friends for life.
Made me laugh, i can eat raw garlic but brussel sprouts make me head for the hills
