six months ago!! I get to ask it again and also it's one of my favorite notmemes!!

Anywho, what does your character find attractive in others? it could be physical traits, personality traits, hobbies, that Sims-esque heart-shaped hot tub full of somebody else's blood in their back room, anything - what do they look for in a prospective partner? do they admit to looking for these things? do they even realize they look for these things? Do they look at all?

Ooohkay, this is going from like movie and book canon and will be tl;dr...

One of the initial attractions for Bond is, of course, appearance. James likes his women to be stunning to look at, either classically beautiful or smokin' hot and able to carry themselves with confidence. Brunettes and red heads seem to be his preferred, but he'll take what he can get. Plus he wants natural over fake every single time, he doesn't go for plastic surgery and boob jobs as a rule. He has also been known to like women who aren't perfect in every way, like setting his sights on a chick with a broken nose (except then he was then obsessed with trying to get it fixed, but maybe that's part of the appeal, the 'fixing' thing. oh how patronising). I do think, beyond his initial response of hitting on attractive women, he does DEVELOPFEELINGZ~ for all sorts of chicks anyway, then dependant on their personalities, and he does have the view that all women are beautiful in some way, even if it's just from like an 'artists' point of view. idk it sounds patronising but then again Bond is so whatever lmao.

When it comes to personality and an actual possibility of something more than a one night stand, James likes the independent ladies. He likes the modern women who are all for standing up for themselves, kicking asses and generally just capable of taking care of themselves. He likes that self assertiveness and he likes someone who can put him in his place without much fuss, because he knows he's a pain in the ass. They also need to be intelligent, not necessarily like 'oh i have high grades' but more so in their own field. Something like an exceptionally street wise chick would appeal because she's intelligent and quick thinking in regards to coping on the street, or a chick who's quick witted and able to keep up with his ideas and quips would also be a sure winner.

Having a woman who can deal with him day in day in and day out is probably hard enough to find seeing as he's a massive attention whore and often needs to be talking or cuddling or sexing or stalking. He does also like his alone time though so needs someone who can respect that.

There is, however, a deep need for a woman that has ISSUES~, dark pasts and/or one that needs some sort of help or aid. He likes someone he can 'rescue', such as Vesper who had all these omg dark past and was all 'oh noez i helped kill a man i feel so bad hold me', or Camille who turned to bond for advice on murdering a dude, then needed saving~ from the scary fire. Even with his love for the modern woman, James still holds onto the view of being the protector, along with still being the classic gentleman in the sense of holding doors open, standing when a lady enters the room etcetc. Plus he is occasionally a massive sexist, but mostly unintentionally. So yeah, he needs a woman he can protect or save or help in some way, he basically likes to be relied on just occasionally.

When it comes to one night stands, he just doesn't give a shit. Mostly he just picks out the most attractive woman in the room and sleeps with her for one night and never ever contacts again. He prefers them married because then they're less likely to except anything more. such a gentleman.

He's heterosexual, but exceptionally comfortable in his own sexuality, so he can jokingly hit on guys without being all 'ew gross gays', but yeah, he will stick to women thank you very much.

oh well fuck that was massivley tl;dr

BASICALLY: hot (but not always), strong, independent, self-assertive, intelligent, able to put him in his place, but also someone who occasionally needs to rely on him and needs a big manly man for protection.
