I dated that girl. She had 3 guy roomates. They all hated me and constantly tried to fuck with our situation. It was awful. "No no we've never hooked up he's just a friend. Well except this one time when we were both really drunk, neither one of us really remembers." Call me jealous but that shit sucked.
1. Being able to drink as much as me is NOT attractive. It's disgusting. 2. Smarter than me is a plus. But we have to agree on most political shit, because it will be a never-ending debate if we don't. 3. Modesty. Your ass doesn't need to be hanging out when we're in public. God. Those are a few that come to mind immediately.
Well said. My ex-wife was just like this. I thought it was cool initially, then after we broke up, I found out it was that she has a repellent, self-destructive personality. Focus: If a girl is stupid, I walk. Hearing her ask me to "stop using so many big words" is code for "You're gonna hate me. Leave now before you end up ditching me on the side of the road in anger." The last woman I was seeing was like this. Oh, and she LOVED MTV; Jersey Shore, all of it. She acted/pretended to like my kind of music. Her: "Oh, you like Metallica? Me too!" Me: "Really? Cool! Which is your favorite album?" Her: "Oh, uh...Well I like them all." Sorry tootsie, the answer I was looking for was " ...and Justice for All," but would have accepted anything. At least she didn't say that they sucked and say that she doesn't listen to Satan's music. I am not some nervous schoolboy anymore and don't have problems dealing with silences/lags in conversation, but if a girl has NOTHING to say, and I'm doing all the talking whenever we go out, it's not going to work. Also, if a girl likes clubs/dancing, I know that the only way it would work is in the bizarro world.
She should be able to laugh at herself when she screws up and not get all uptight. She should be able to roll with the punches and take my pokes at her, yet still be able to throw some back in my face. So, she should have thick skin and not get pissed or offended easily. I should be able to have an intelligent conversation with her and not feel like I'm talking to a brick wall. Other than those things, everything else is kinda second as far as physical aspects go. Granted, I'd take a hotter, yet dumber girl over a smarter wildebeest any day, I'd like to think we all would.
All the things mentioned are obvious attributes that a cool down to earth girl would have. But aside from all that, I'm into girls who like (or at least aren't "grossed out" by) other girls. I'm not saying I only try to date bisexual girls. But a girl who's cool with watching porn with me or who can admire the beauty of their own sex is a definite plus. I know it's a stupid male fantasy, but I don't care. I could look over a lot of other faults for a girl who can appreciate a nice set of tits.
Over a "wildebeest" yes. But give me a dumb super hot chick and I'd take an average looking, fairly fit, smart one anyday. Hell, even if it just a one night romp I'd still probably take the average one. Sex generally works better if the two people are actually interested in each other in more than a purely sexual way. I've out-gayed myself with this one...
I don't ask for much.... A sense of humour beyond the purile. The ability to think. I don't care if she's uneducated, but she has to have the capacity to learn and reason. An open mind. I'm not vanilla, in most respects of my life. Have a passion. Anything, as long as she's committed to it. Have respect for others. Have some sort of semblance of self confidence.
I can't stand someone who ISN'T opinionated, but this has a serious necessary corollary. Opinions must be held for a reason. Even if a girl has very different viewpoints from me, it only makes her more attractive if she can back them up and have a good debate, without getting angry or emotional. I love a good debate. Also, I love a girl who has a passion for something specific; as in, knows everything about a subject...whether that be quantum mechanics or punk rock. Just be an expert on something, and then tell me about it. It is such a turn on to listen to a girl speak about something she is very knowledgeable in. Second only to huge tits, of course.
Accepts you for who you are and does not try to change your life. One of the most important characteristics in any relationship.
I must be the exact opposite of oswald999. I can't help but be attracted to a girl who can drink me under the table. I just love a girl who can kick my ass in pretty much anything, drinking included. It's my own little submissive fetish. In fact, if she can actually kick my ass in a fight, it's the sexiest thing ever. Now that I'm thinking about it, that could explain my life-long love for the martial arts.
A text my friend sent me today that I thought was appropriate for this thread. I got a good chuckle (maybe it's too off topic. Just delete if necessary): FIVE SECRETS TO A PERFECT RELATIONSHIP: 1. It is important to have a woman who helps at home, cooks, cleans up and has a job. 2. It is important to have a woman who can make you laugh. 3. It is important to find a woman who you can trust and who would never lie. 4. It is important to find a woman who is good in bed and likes being with you. 5. It is absolutely fucking vital that the 4 women don't know each other.
In the words of Rodney Carrington himself: "i'd rather have a chunky woman with a good attitude than a really good looking woman thats a fucking bitch"
After reading the previous posts, many of which completely contradicted each other (Must be girly/must be tomboy-ish/must be independent/must be dependent on me for something....etc.), I've decided you guys have zero idea what you want. Subsequently, women have no idea what the hell they want either. We all just bump into people that we can tolerate for brief moments in time. That being said.... - I can appreciate the attractiveness of someone with a sense of humor who doesn't act condescending. Don't "explain" something like what a two party political system is to me unless I ask. Sometimes I am being silent to avoid telling you what a colossal fucktard you are and how I'd rather be giving my ears an abortion rather than listen to you anymore. - I loathe guys who are more girly than I am. A big spider? You're screaming like my five year old goddaughter? Yeah, I'm going home. - Any man that spends more time on his hair than I do or spends more money on grooming products than I do, is someone I will introduce to my gay cousin Bruce. - When you're with one female, don't go on and on about how hot Megan Fox is. I can appreciate a good looking chic too, but when you are in your thirties and have Maxim posters on your wall? Come on. - Getting excessively drunk on a daily basis is not cute if you are over the age of 30. It's not funny. As a matter of fact, it wasn't cool or funny when you were 25. Nor was it at 23. We've all had our drunken crazy nights, but when you are the clown 24/7, it gets old cleaning up after you. There are times when acting like an adult is imperative. Other than that, I'm not picky. People should be themselves and act decent. We'd all get along much better if we did.
Ummmm what? So, you just assumed that all guys look for all the same things in all girls/women? The posts contradict themselves because they were all written by different people with different tastes.
I have no idea because I want something different out of each woman I meet. Some I just want to bang. Some I just want to hang out with then bang. Some I want to laugh with then bang. Some I want to go to the museum with then bang. It's always something different.
Sharp wit and a love of dark humor is a must have. If she drinks beer (not all the time but at least when the occasion calls for it) then it's game over and I'm smitten.
Positivity. I cannot stand negative women, or negative people in general. Women who test you excesssively to see how you react? It gets old reallllll fast. Example ("Why are you touching me?" when there's clearly mutual attraction. "We aren't having sex tonight." when you're stumbling home from the bar or whatever and both of you want to get laid. WHY NOT JUST SAY NOTHING?) And any woman who fails to support my one and only passion in life: mastery of the ninja arts.
