The characteristics that attract Capricorns, in the romantic sense, will vary depending upon how many planets the native actually has in Capricorn.
That's because a sun sign Capricorn with a Venus in Aries may be attracted to a different set of traits than a Venus in Capricorn native.
Nonetheless, the sun sign of Capricorn is often drawn to people that display a core set of personality traits. Very high on that list is the ability to work hard.
Capricorns admire the ability that some have to put in a long, hard day at work.
Laughter

Capricorns do work hard, and that might help explain why they are often drawn to people that have a great, even an offbeat, sense of humor.
This is a serious sign that can even border on melancholy at times, so Caps often look to others to provide an emotional lift.
Passion

Need further proof that Capricorns are much more than the sum of their stable parts? If so, look no further than their voracious sexual appetites.
If you are a highly sensual person and the situation is appropriate, feel free to let Cap know.
More often than not, he or she will find that trait highly attractive.
Material Prestige
