The topic was raised about "the art of seduction of women", and I am wondering what women think about being seduced. What gets your attention? Sweet words? Flowers? Poetry? Music? Thoughtful actions? Being listened to? Sincerity?

Sugirió el tema de "el arte de la seducción de la mujer", y me pregunto qué opinamos nosotras, las mujeres, en cuanto a ser seducidas. ¿Qué te llama la atención? Las palabras dulces? Las flores? La poesía? La música? Comportamiento servicial? Ser escuchada? La honradez?

Write your ideas in Spanish and also in English. If you lack knowledge in one language, at least try to write a word or two and then explain more clearly in the other language.

Escribe tus ideas en español y también en inglés. Si te falta la capacidad de expresarte completamente en uno de los idiomas, por lo menos escribe una o dos palabras, y profundiza más apliamente en el otro idioma.

OK, girls, we have the floor!

Bueno, chicas, ¡tenemos la palabra!

I hate Hollywood "romantic" things, roses, chocolates, etc. For me my husband is super romantic because he makes my coffee every morning, he takes starts my car, he never lies, he has never made me feel jealous (in 4 years of dating and 7 of marriage), he prefers to spend time with over everything, he likes it when we are alone, he considers me his best friend and makes me feel beautiful every day.

Odio las cosas románticas de Hollywood, rosas, chocolates, etc. Para mí mi marido es súper romantico porque me hace mi café todas las mañanas, enciende mi carro, nunca miente, nunca me ha hecho sentir celos (en 4 años de novios y 7 de casados), prefiere pasar tiempo conmigo sobre todo, le gusta cuando estamos solos, me considera su mejor amiga y me hace sentir hermosa todos los días.

Every day little things create true romance.

Las cositas de todos los días crean el verdadero romance.

Whatever Gekko, I bet after the parents and grandparents you're coming in a close third for being excitied you know you love those babies :) - Kiwi-Girl, Feb 2, 2011
I think you misunderstood me, Kiwi. "Ya no es nada" means here "not so much time left, now (before the baby is due). Don't sit on your hands - go for it!! - Gekkosan, Feb 3, 2011
you're quite right i did, i think it was the 'qué emoción at the end, lol, gracias por explicarme, no, I think it's safer to stay sitting on my hands but thanks for the invite, I'll leave that one to you and Margaret ;) - Kiwi-Girl, Feb 3, 2011

Although my boyfriend would probably die if he ever heard me call him romantic, I think he is! When we're out walking, he always holds my hand and is very cautious of my well-being when we're crossing streets. It's such a small thing, but he makes it clear that he's proud to be with me and treats me like something precious. He doesn't make a show of sappy music, but every now and then he'll send me a song that made him think of us. He's old-fashioned and respectful, and those are things that have always gotten my attention.

Mi novio prefiere la palabra "cariñoso" en lugar de "romántico."

I do like the word "seducción", and getting seduced, not only in the romantic aspect.

What gets my attention?

Not chocolate, not poetry, not sweet words, not flowers, not dazzling intelligence, absolutelly not thoughtful actions ... Neither laughter, being listened to and sincerity, because these are taken for granted, and they are in friendliness too.

I really don't know. Combinations, I guess. Or something in the air.

No me gusta la palabra seducir, para mí suigere algo sexual, y lo que mecionas no es sexual. Tal vez Coquetar es mejor. Bueno Un hombre pensativo que resplada sus palabras dulces con acción siempre llama mi atención . Sobran los Hombres que engatusan .

I don´t like the word seduce To me it suggests something sexual and what you mention is not sexual Perhaps flirt is better Well, A thoughtful man who backs up his sweet words with action always gets my attention. Sweet talking guys are dime a dozen.

What's the problem with sex? - Gekkosan, Feb 2, 2011
Sweet talking guys are a dime a dozen...yep, that's true! - mountaingirl123, Feb 2, 2011
I mean, I understand about wooing and romance, and what's not cool about just approaching a lady with coarse "well, how it then?" type of thing. But I am geniunely curious: what's wrong with good, healthy, consensual sex? - Gekkosan, Feb 2, 2011
. I did not say sex was bad. I was just disagreing with the choice of words in the title of the post and actually you got what I was referring to in the first part of your comment. - BellaMargarita, Feb 2, 2011
Yeah, but isn't sexual seduction also fun and thrilling too? I mean, it doesn't have to be rough and coarse, but when two people realize that they both want that, and start the trip on that road, isn't it fun, and grand? - Gekkosan, Feb 2, 2011
Gekko, I am not arguing with you about that. - BellaMargarita, Feb 2, 2011
I was just asking... :-) - Gekkosan, Feb 2, 2011

(Edit: Strawberries dipped in chocolate instead of icecream :p )

You know what they say "ask and ye shall receive" lol - as I view richness as something totally unreliant on material wealth I have to say 19 out of 20 isn't bad at all - and if I'm honest all that chocolate wouldn't have been good for me anyway!

A good sense of humor and a sensitive intelligence are two incredibly attractive qualities. Laughter is the best aphrodisiac, followed closely by shared adventures, even the small ones.

Un buen sentido de humor y un intelecto sensible son dos cualidades increíblemente atractivos. La risa es el mejor afrodisíaco, seguida de cerca por las aventuras compartidas, incluso las pequeñas. kiss

What woman doesn't enjoy chocolates, and cards, and flowers. But along with these I find it very touching when my friends and neighbors do things like check and fill the fluids in the car, scoop snow, bait my fish hook and remove the wiggling fish from the hook, and go with me to basketball games. I guess it's actions as well as the pretty things that tell me I am liked and loved.

¿Que la mujer no hace gusta los chocolates, y los tarjetas, y los flores? Pero a lo largo de con estas descubro muy conmovedora cuando mis amigas y vecinos hacer cosas como revisar y llenar los liquidos en el coche, la nieve pala, cebo mi anzuelo y quitarse el pescado viscoso, y ir a conmigo a juegos baloncestos. Supongo que son las acciones, asi como las cosas bonitas que dice que soy querida y amada.

I know my translation has errors. Corrections and suggestions are appreciated.

Good post! I believe that you are "right on"! (querida/amada) :) - mountaingirl123, Feb 2, 2011
I wouldn't object to baiting a hook for an attractive woman but I draw the line at basketball games. - samdie, Feb 2, 2011
Of course, one might argue that "baiting the hook" is the one thing that attractive women don't need help with (it being a defining characteristic). - samdie, Feb 2, 2011

My husband does all of the usual romantic gestures such as cards, gifts, affection, compliments and romantic get aways. However, there is one thing that really makes me happy:

Un marido que lava los platos is muy romantico.

A husband who washes the dishes is very romantic. wink
