My ex-boyfriend Alexandre once told me his priorities when first encountering a woman, do you have such things?

His could be summed up in just a few words: 'Eyes, hair, walk, talk'

When you think about them, three are about appearances, which some might think shallow, but in truth the first thing we get in an encounter is through vision. Talk is the last thing, he said because it's only on her opening her mouth, and giving an audible impression does he get something else to evaluate by.

There are distinguishable differences in people when you hear them. Initially, you get a sense of how articulate they might be. Then, you sense a little to do with their class, their educational abilities, and how their whole family might be. So a lot comes from that last in the row of four priorities.

Do you have a similar 'list' of priorities, are you a thinking person, or do you go with the flow?
