This comes up as sub text in threads in the relationship forum, so I hope it can stay here.

I know most people can be either or some of both depending on context. So I'm not proposing a strictly either-or question, but rather, a which matters more to you question. How do you prefer to be seen or thought of?

Well, reliably lovable for the long term relationship, of course. But intensely desirable is useful at the start of a relationship, to get things moving!

After 18 years together, we have a nearly ideal blend of both, I'd say.

That makes sense, but I'm thinking more in terms of how you think women, in your case, typically see you, and whether that's how you prefer to be seen. I know the choice is a false binary, but I think the answer can be revelatory.

Intensely desirable as in able to attract more women? If that is what is intended sign me up for that.

This. A blend of both. Does "intensely desirable" encompass more than appearance? Like mind/intellect, aura/vibe/allure, a special something or feeling? I'll go for that. Those traits are more discernible in the beginning, that draw intrigue and fancy, that could lead to the warm gooey center and lovable parts that help sustain it all. Mr. Meta wouldn't have gotten to know those irresistibly lovable traits without first admiring or fancying my mind/intellect and physical bits.

Neither, if there has to be a label I want it to read:
Human and Breathing.

I could use me some intensely desirable, but if ANYONE ever said that about me I'd bust out laughing. Reliably lovable will have to be my goal.

LOL

I would choose intensely desirable. But people would probably say I'm lovably intense

No wait ... desirably reliable? Nah ... that's bleh.

This is fun, homina

I am to everyone I know insanely reliably loveable.
My whole life. I suppose it has served me very well.

I want the other thing. Just for a little while. I had it in college and it was fun.
