Don't say I want a jerk who treats me like ****.

Be descriptive.

Which qualities/characteristics do you like to see in a guy?

Post away...

Opposite qualities of my previous boyfriend :lmao:

Is there a maximum character count per post? :p

Posted

Off the top of my head...

 

Integrity

Ambition

Generosity

Sense of humor

Intelligence

Confidence

 

There also needs to be some level of physical attraction between us. I don't have a physical "type" I go after but I do need to find them physically attractive.

 

I'm sure if I really examined it there would be more, but these are the most important qualities to me right off the top of my head.

I want someone who can carry on an intelligent conversation with me, someone who can debate on various subjects with me, someone who is funny and not afraid to laugh at themselves, someone who can own up to their faults and isn't afraid to say they aren't perfect, someone who is confident and comfortable within their own skin, someone who accepts me for who I am without trying to change me, someone who shows empathy for others, and someone who is true to themselves and not fake.

I love guys that know how to work a group of people.

 

"Hey, a bunch of people and I are gonna go hang out at a doughnut shop. Wanna come?"

 

I love when a guy is confident enough to make plans, and likable enough to work a group of people into doing something. It takes stress off my shoulders.

:love:

Both witty and goofy senses of humor

Nurturing of and responsible for his children and pets

Intelligent and confident but not arrogant

Will get my back and appreciates it when I've got his

Healthy sex drive, good sexual skills and sense of sexual fun and adventure

Wide range of interests (i.e. science, languages, politics, history, not just sports and cars)

Yep, I'm most definitely clean shaven. That's 4/4 isn't it? :)

Companionship, compatibility, security...

 

what a woman looks for depends on what stage she is at in life. for me, i am looking to settle down. therefore, i am looking for someone family-oriented, respectful, surrounds themselves with good friends that are in the same place in life as me/him, educated, financially secured (i may want to have kids and stay home one day so this may be important in the future), ambitious, etc. basically drama-free. i am also young (mid-20s) so while im looking for someone to stay in to watch movies on the couch, i also want someone who enjoys going out on fri/sat nights to bars and a night out on the town, plays sports and video games with me, etc.

Ha ha ha, funny. Reading these traits sounds almost like my biography. If only those were the only thing women desire.

That's a given. :laugh:

I am a male with a girlfriend, but I will still answer your question.

 

Confidence. That's it. As long as you are confident in yourself, the women will flock to you.

Umm I'm a woman and I don't desire drama in my relationship with my boyfriend, although my boyfriend and I do have fun laughing and discussing the drama my friends all seem to have in their relationships. Now I just count myself as lucky because I'm no longer involved in such a headache of a love roller coaster.

I have confidence. Conversation tends to get boring quickly though. Guess I have to work on making early exits.

Well, maybe not all of them.:p Most of them use it as enjoyment or some sense of 'thrill.'

Oh, so you wanna get deeper then.

 

It is all about not giving too much at first. Don't just give yourself up to the next beautiful girl.

 

It is not about treating women like crap, it is about not treating yourself like crap.

 

Always remember you are more valuable than some person you just met. As the relationship progresses, the other person becomes more valuable.

 

At the point in my current relationship, I would do just about anything for my girlfriend. :love:

 

You may have confidence, but you probably display a low self worth compared to the women you are chasing.

 

If you deny this, please re-think. You are coming to a forum asking what women want.
