I have a hard time not noticing the gaze. I find it extremely stressful to be stared at; always have.
Sound and scent seem to be more alluring than visual. Certain visual cues I do find attractive (for instance, a man with long hair and high cheekbones).

No, I don't think I've ever even tried becoming a lure. I have dressed up in the past, but more for "stage presence" for specific events rather than to attract someone. I have fond memories of one particular off-the-shoulder red dress I used to have, but other than that I have a lackadaisical attitude towards things like shoes and makeup.
