TwilightSky Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 I mean this in a general sense, including physical and mental traits.
SpanksTheMonkey Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 I'm sure you will get all kind of different answers cause we are all attracted to something different its like the "rate yourself" threads is there really a over all rating attractiveness scale?
Lovebone Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 Goofy question. It is way too broad. So...here's a goofy answer: Some girls like money, some girls like love, some girls want a daddy and some all 3 of the above. Girls want a guy to treat em like crap, be nice from time to time and not give em the clap. /thread.
prettybaby Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 Physical, I can't really say. It depends, really. But I tend to favor blue eyes for some reason. As for their personality: I like a guy who's sweet and genuinely kind. Someone who's calm and patient. Someone who is clean and has a clean place lol And who doesn't have any hang ups with exes and not too much baggage. I don't like smokers. Guys who drink a little are okay, but getting drunk is a major turn off. I like someone who has simple, clear goals and sticks to them. Someone who's family oriented and doesn't cringe at the thought of settling down and having children. Out of it all though, kindness is at the top of my list.
denise_xo Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 When I am attracted to someone, it is always based on an intuitive feeling that the person has something 'special' that puts me in awe. This composite 'special' is usually a result of a unique combination of things like life experiences, intelligence, emotional capacities and particular personality traits that have moulded a person in particular ways. In men I am attracted to, these things have combined to something that (in my eyes) makes someone shine and stand out in a special way. This comes prior to any descriptive personality characterizations that I may invoke later when someone asks me 'so what do you like about him' and I'll say stuff like he's genuine, intelligent, makes me laugh, whatever...
dispatch3d Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 "he really likes me" is one i've noticed before.
prettybaby Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 ^^ I call BS. Sorry. Ok? Feel free to stereotype as much as you wish. Carry on.
GooseChaser Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 I like a guy with muscle. I also like confidence and a sense of humor. It's nice if he smiles and laughs a lot, showing that he has fun spending time with me. It is good if he is sweet too. He should also show respect toward me and other women. That is important.

You could say that much more concisely: "gay"!
GooseChaser Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 (edited) Pardon me for repeating my previous post, but I added a lot more to it in an attempt to edit it, but I didn't edit it in time, so here you go. An updated version. I like a guy with muscle. It helps if he is tall, but he doesn't have to be. The guy I like right now is my height, 5' 6", so I can effortlessly look him eye to eye, and it is comfortable. I also like confidence and a sense of humor. (Going back to height, my guy's confidence, toughness, and strength makes up for his height, because these other good qualities he has make me feel safe and that he could protect me if needed.) It's nice if he smiles and laughs a lot, showing that he has fun spending time with me. It is good if he is sweet too. He should show respect toward me and other women. That is important. He should also have good hygiene. Finally, I like and value intelligence. Edited September 13, 2010 by GooseChaser
prettybaby Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 You could say that much more concisely: "gay"! The men I've been with were far from gay I wasn't aware that everyone's personal criteria here were supposed to fit the cave man stereotype. But if you feel like making fun of me, feel free to do so. At the end of the day, I've only been in healthy relationships where kindness and compassion was indeed number one. And where I haven't been abused, neglected, or disrespected.

I think the person is saying that they think women often consider physical attributes more important in their criteria compared to personality traits like kindness. I think you have good criteria though. I don't think a guy being kind makes them gay, either. In fact, it's a positive and sought-after quality.
welikeincrowds Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 You could say that much more concisely: "gay"! You must not know many gay men. I dare you to find one without baggage.
GooseChaser Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 To put it simply, women who are looking for marriage and children look for men with the qualities of a good father: stability, commitment, a sense of humor, strength, the ability to protect, cheerfulness, love, and more. Women looking for a partner but not necessarily children might look for some of the same qualities, and some different ones as well, such as a "fun" personality being more important, and other things.
Cee Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 I'm most charmed by guys who "get" me. And like me anyway.

Uh, that would be "sensible" women. Some have to go through the phase of romaticizing the bad guy just to give their fledgling finger to conformity. If they survive, then it's how you say. Nay?

The age of the woman probably does have a big effect on what interests her in a man. It's like how they say, age and experience bring wisdom, eh? As they get older, they start to really know themselves and learn what they really want.
