Read the following items from a magazine.
Do you think that all boys are attracted only by good looks?
Alex, 19: I still can’t resist a great-looking girl, but a pretty face doesn’t compare to a smart mind.
Lloyd, 19: Her body is something that would be attractive to me. That means she works out a lot, and doesn’t smoke, drink or do drugs, even if her friends are doing them.
Kevin, 22: I’m attracted to girls who are down-to-earth and simple. Rude girls are ridiculous! if a girl I like acts mean and snobby to everyone, why should I be treated any different?
Adam, 18: Initially a good-looking girl catches my eye. but if she doesn’t have a good personality then forget it.
Michael, 20: A good personality is more important to me than what a girl looks like because I want to be able to relax and have fun with her, like I would with my friends or my family.
James, 20: A girl that shows interest in me attracts me. I don’t like girls who are only interested in talking about themselves.
In small groups, describe the “ideal” partner for you. Think in terms of personality, educational and family background, socioeconomic level, job, and personal values and beliefs.
