That said, a lot of their lives are dominated by it the way ours is often dominated by visuals, and this includes what they consider 'attractive' insofar as relationship material.
Thus, they might find interest in someone that has a nice sounding voice, over anyone that necessarily 'looks pretty'. They may be drawn to those who can sing well, who speak well, who aren't loud, and don't have terribly obnoxious laughs, odd breathing habits, or snore. I like to imagine loud snoring might be a terrible turn off. Maybe they like the rhythm to the way someone walks when they can hear them moving along the stones, maybe they find rhythm in speech to be particularly pleasing. They also might find some interest in ears more than other races, similar to how people can be drawn to 'pretty eyes'.
There is absolutely no actual lore about this that I've found, but I just find it interesting what shifting one's primary sense from sight to sound might actually do to what a culture could find appealing.
In my headcanon, this is true of both Wildwoods and Duskwights. After all, they are the Elezen's most prominent feature. (INB4 "LOL BUT GIRAFFE NECKS.") It stands to reason that certain shapes and sizes might be more or less attractive to certain members of the race. That's my thought, anyway.
Also, am I mistaken or was there a lore tidbit somewhere that suggested a sort of 'code language' among the Duskwights involving taps on the cavern walls, the echoes of which would reach their fellow cave-dwelling brethren? If not, chalk that up to another headcanon for me.
