Give me an intelligent, humorous women that is decently attractive. Bonus points if she is a red head without many freckles.

I'm gonna be serious here.

1. Sense of humor. Can be very immature or very serious at times.
2. Physical attributes that are dominant? Short hair, glasses, shorter height, skinny jeans, and thick kissable lips.
3. Kissing.
4. I like when a girl is excited to hear from me or see me.
5. Sense of fashion. I've dated girls who wore just skate shoes, baggy jeans and tshirts. Bleh.
6. Enjoys coffee.

Oy, you forgot talons!

Anyway, I prefer shorter girls myself for some reason. Not shorter as in barely 130, shorter as in not higher than 170. Centimetres, that is.

The ability to defend herself is a plus, at least until the gun laws are liberalised and I can do it for her.

Also I prefer them to be shorter than me. It's hardly a dealbreaker, but I'm more likely to notice them without knowing them first if they are a good deal shorter than me.

What's with you guys and short girls? Damn my 5'10" stature.



Pfft, 5'10 is still small enough. Leave the tiny men, women, they will only give you stunted babies!

Only for you. :whistling:

I feel terrible for spamming, so here is my *cough* BS *cough* attempt at doing otherwise:
I think to a degree, every man would want something stable. Some just enjoy going from woman to woman, but is there true happiness always in that? It usually leads to loneliness, so having a "rock" might be an underlying desire, no matter how latent.

OR I can go all Freudian and say we want whatever we were deprived of as a child, as we fixate upon inadequacies!111oneshift
Some Freudian concepts really tickle me. According to him, we all had a brief sixual desire for our opposite-six parent!

1. Intelligence is highly important.

2. Use of that intelligence is highly important. I want someone I can talk to.

3. I wouldn't mind a fellow gamer.

4. Physically, I'm looking for a short girl (because I'm short - 5' 4'', currently :confused:) with long, dark hair. Race isn't a concern and I do like girls on the slim side. I don't want this person to be a twig who starves themself, but I would like someone who has a healthy weight and body shape. I can't describe facial characteristics I like as I don't know what they are, really. I'm not incredibly picky on specific things... or at least not conciously, anyway. I just know when I find someone's face attractive, so the knowing of why doesn't matter too much, to me.

5. This person would, preferably, share very similar interests (biology, history, I already mentioned gaming, if possible, similar musical and culinary interests, etc.).

6. This person would have to be the one to ask me out. :P

Really, though, I'm far too shy of a person to initiate conversation with strangers and... how do people meet other people they end up dating, anyway, while we're on the topic of initiating conversation with strangers? How do you know which strangers to initiate conversation with if all these mental characteristics are something one cannot see? You can't possibly ask out every girl you find physically attractive... and so many girls seem to already have boyfriends. It seems as though getting rejected would be a very awkward experience and I have to wonder how people become friends at all, in the first place. How do possible couples meet? :huh:

Its not much, three main things.

5. Hoofs.

I have yet to find someone with all 5.

Well, you just initiate conversation with the vaguely attractive ones until you find one that meets the criteria.

High school girls? Feh, good luck to me, I suppose. :P

Really, though. All they ever seem to do is talk after class starts, text during class, talk about Justin Bieber, or talk about Facebook. :P I don't give a rat's rear end about any of those! I'll just wait for college and hope for the best.

To begin with, I am a straight man.

I don't judge much based on appearance, although i do have my limit. Also, pretty eyes and pretty hair are a big, big bonus. For me, the attraction as always 3x more intense when i like their personality. My dream girl would be:

not judgmental

i REALLY like dry humor in a girl

Smart, clever, or witty is a big bonus, although if the person is kind, thats just as good. If they're BOTH then just yes.

On confidence, being especially confident for a girl is actually kind of a turn off for me. I like the feeling of a girl leaning on me for support. I get to take care of her. The confident, get up and go getter girl hardly needs someone to lean on most of the time. HOWEVER not enough confidence can just be annoying. Its too much taking-care-ofness.

A big possibly deal breaking thing with me is someone who knows the true meaning of compassion. If the girl cannot realize that to be truly compassionate means sacrificing sometimes, then...it depends on other things if I would date her....I guess.

Another thing, and definitely a deal breaker, is if the girl is superficial. I cannot STAND fake-ness. It is unfortunate, too, that I feel so strongly about this at 20 years old, because most of the girls up until my recent history have been superficial (high school).

As for something more realistic, out of the above traits, I would take a non superficial and kind girl, definitely. Apparently, that's considered high standards among my age group.

EDIT: Oh, and no girls that are taller than me. Sorry...

1. Sanity.
2. Understand that sometimes I'm correct without directions. Being lost is part of the hunt...
3. Double check on me when fire is involved. I appreciate your concern and interest.
4. When I'm "blank", please don't ask me what's on my mind. This ruins my "blankness" and pisses me off.
5. An unexpected back scratch, hug, or a seductive wink and smile. Insert this as a substitute for a question in #4. Better results.
6. I can dress myself.
7. I really don't care about your ex's.

I generally don't care too much with things like height, shape, skin color, hair color (though I have a bias towards red), and boob size. In short, I'm open to most ladies. However, the biggest no no's is pretty much
  • Being heavier than me. The only exception is if it's due to height and/or muscle mass. I don't mind strong and/or tall women.
  • Passive aggressive behavior. Nothing drives me more crazy than this, and I live with two sisters.
  • Apt for drama. I hate drama! If I wanted drama, I'd watch TNT, because they know drama :P
  • Controlling behavior.
  • Little to no sense of humor.
  • A lack of self confidence.
  • Younger than 20. Dated an 18 and 19 year old, and I wanted to tear my hair out by the end of the relationship. Way too immature, and not in a fart joke kind of way.

I'm still young, but I'll list what I like in the teenagers of the opposite gender.
I like shorter girls with dark hair and blue eyes, and I hate to sound racist - but preferrebly white. My guess is that's because I'm white, though. They have to be smart, as well, and share my interests. I don't like awkward silences. And they shouldn't be a [censored] or open their legs at every male that walks by. Laidback and girls that don't take life too seriously, combined with all this, are the best.

Going from how I was like at your age, I mainly met guys as friends of friends. Being rejected really isn't a big deal if you go about it the right way - for a woman, you don't want to seem to needy, and for a guy, I think the key is not to come across as skeevy. Don't call them Babe or anything like that would be my advice :P Unless you're sparking up conversation with a particularly horrible woman, just chatting to them and asking if they are single/free this weekend should be enough - it might seem like a lot to start off with, but it's no big deal really. The only problem for you I think is that girls really don't tend to ask out guys at that age - it svcks, but I remember being told at that age that if you ask out a guy you will be seen as easy. Even now I wonder sometimes if asking a guy out will make me look like a slag - stupid but true.

Oh right, that might make it harder. The ones I talk to are generally older and a bit more grounded in reality than that.

If we go by looks, I like bigger girls. I don't like skinny girls. I don't like seeing ribs on a girl. I love long hair and big boobs and butt. But that is looks and looks can only take you so far. I love a good personality. I don't like women who are all about themeselves. I like when someone who is not high maintence and cares about others. I prefer non smokers, but when I met my wife, she smoked. It took her over 4 years to quit so as you can see, if someone smokes it doens't prevent me from getting to know the person.

But oh I love bigger women. Call them curvey, plump, BBW, I find them sixy and beautiful. You don't have to be skinny to be sixy.

I don't think it makes you a slag. That's only in high school where you'd get people talking. Which boils down to insecure girls becoming jealous of a woman who can muster the balls to do it herself.

@Seti: I think things just happen as they happen. If you try too hard to initiate conversations and such, it won't be natural and if a relationship begins, it'll be based on the wrong roots. It's all due to chance and stepping out of your comfort zone from time to time. But don't make it miserable on yourself.

Rejection of course svcks, and when it happens it's all you can think of. But really, life goes on and it really isn't that bad.

Heck, I met my boyfriend on the internet and we'll be married next October. (Screw May weddings!)

Lots of these gender related threads making rounds...

I want a modicum of common sense, average amount of beauty, someone who doesn't like drama and a person who is content with simple luxuries everyone seems to take for granted.

I hope it comes naturally. Naturally, I'm a very quiet person and I haven't made very many friends at all by that method. On the internet, however, I can be noticeably loud and obnoxious (:P). I just don't trust internet strangers, much (no offense to the lot of you; I'm sure most of you are very decent people.), however.
