Well to be honest, I find there is a line between physical attraction and social attraction. There are LOTS of toon girls I have been attracted to by their looks that have personalities that either rub me the wrong way or are like I said, sexually agressive or over confident.

Physical attraction happens mostly even when we don't want it to, it's more a matter of physics, tastes actually, the personality though affects more of a commanality in our liking towards women. The sweet thing about Frankie is that she is sweet through and through, she's never intentionally mean or rude.

As far as agressive women go, I'd suggest you don't cut out all women because of that trait Vox. The way I have see it, it's the women that actually change their persona or act "humbled" if you will by something. Like if a bad ass girl actually blushes or gets nervous and does something like that.

That is a sign that the person isn't all hardcore, too good to be loved, sex queen crap and something much more. Videl from Dragon Ball Z for example. She's a very agressive girl and can be difficult, but she has moments where she shows kindness, appreciation, and love, proving she's human after all.

The less you see of that sweet, bumbling, humbling attitude is what decreases our attraction to the person, or at least for me anyway. Android 18 from the same show is a prime example. She's pretty damn fine, but the fact she's more rude and agressive then she is nice is a major turn off.

Luckily, Frankie doesn't suffer from that problem. Goo had a similar problem like this until MBION.

I didn't say that I don't feel unwanted attraction to unlikeable characters. That actually happened to me a lot before I fell in love with Frankie. I've had plenty of purely fictional infatuations on characters that I otherwise don't care about at all. Most of them vanish within a matter of days and weeks... though some of them do tend to haunt and tempt me from time to time, even to this day.

I hate these types largely BECAUSE of the unwanted attraction. I'm smart enough to know that they're not worth my time, yet I sometimes still feel attracted to them on a 100% physical way, sometimes intensely.

And another thing; I love 'aggressiveness' as a general trait. I'm really into characters that are outwardly aggressive, tough and even harsh at times, but are also capable of genuine heart and compassion. I can even enjoy female characters that are thoroughly and unredeemably vile, on a "certified villain" basis and if they're well-written and portrayed.

I hate the manipulative, sleazy, scummy, egomanical type, when they're put in a serious PROTAGONIST role and not in a 100% villanous or satirical role. Even when I feel sudden and unwanted physical attraction, I still despise them in general. I just do.

But the good thing is, thanks to Frankie, I don't get these sudden unwanted attractions as much as before(I still do, but only very ocassionally). She's a stunning fox and a very human, genuine character at the same time.

I hope that made some sense.

It works the other way around, too; one can become very attracted to someone through their personality. Years ago there was a woman I'll call "Beth" that I was not attracted to at all. But we spent a lot of time together and discovered that we had a lot in common, and in a short period of time I was saying to myself, "You know, she's really not bad looking, not bad at all...", and it was love shortly thereafter. (I never acted on it, or told her how I was feeling, but that's another story.) Looks, like icing, can certainly draw one in, but if there aren't a couple layers of warm, rich cake under that icing, my interest will soon turn elsewhere.

Personality IS whats important but I'm afraid I'm still shallow enough to still want good looks. I'm sure it's just inexperiance on my part but I still have a natural attraction to beuty. Fortunatly, I've been finding myself more and more attracted to peoples personalities and not looks. And Frankie is, and always will be my princess.

I fell in love with Frankie before watching the show (through other artists drawings). That is what piqued my curiosity to watch the show. At that point I loved her voice and her personality - it all fit! What a normal chick (my kind of woman)!

That's true of everyone, I think. We all need a certain minimum level of physical attraction, which can be enhanced by personality, but unfortunately there are limits, and there are people who one will never be attracted to, never desire a romantic relationship with, no matter how much one may otherwise enjoy their company. There is a lady in my building that I've known for years, for example, who I've spent hours talking with, and I look forward to those times when we hang out in the lobby and chat, but anything more than that isn't possible because the desire just isn't there and it never will be. It's sad, especially for those who for whatever reason are always on the receiving end. The lonliness can be very depressing, very painful. But that's just the way it is.

I'm sure that there's SOMEONE out there for her. I don't think it's a matter of who but when.

[Cassini90125]

Maybe yes, maybe no. There's no guarantee for any of us. I do know that ideas like "There's someone for everyone" are a crock. It's a nice sentiment, but it simply isn't true.

[Mr. Marshmallow]

Sorry but I don't buy that one little bit. I don't think it's a crock or bull or anything like that, just because bad expierences or painful memories have been stirred up, I don't think the someone for everyone thing is crap. I believe it, and I've continued to believe it from the day I discovered love.

Not finding the right person yet simply means that's not the person meant for you. I believe in fate to an extent and that there is someone who is linked to us somewhere on this Earth, the future is limitless with possibilities and it's not right to just shoot down that possibility due to bad luck.

Frankie didn't find the right guy in Dylan, and neither did Berry with Bloo or Mac with Goo, but that doesn't mean they won't someday. Wise person once said: "We are not meant to be alone in this world". Time is everything, maybe sooner maybe later, but I believe our hearts are always tied to someone else's.

It's just a matter of finding the string, and how long it takes you follow it to the end. Forgive my sappyness but I believe every damn word of it.

You will find your soulmate - no doubt about that. I did - now the marriage is the hard part...
