Say What?

Mon., Aug. 7, 2000

Occasionally, members of the Our Generation Teen Advisory Board pose a question to their peers. This week’s question is:

What do you first notice about the opposite sex and why? (Polite responses only, please.)

“I notice openness, like attitude. I mean, obviously the first thing is looks, but after that, if you want to get to know them better, attitude is everything.”

—Micah Wilson

“What I first notice about the opposite sex is their eyes. You can tell what kind of a person they are by their eyes.”

—Amanda Fritz

“Personality — because I wouldn’t approach him if he seemed like a jerk.”

—Brandi Duran

“Hair — because I hate my hair, and if the opposite sex has nice hair, then I like ‘em.”

—John Lee

“Their eyes. If a guy is creepy, and he moves his eyebrows a lot, then I don’t like to talk to him. They have to be tender-looking, unoffending and deep.”

—Stephanie Ellis

“Looks — because they’re the first thing that I see.”
