I've found that the guys who think they have to impress us also feel we need to work hard to impress them. That gets old very quickly.

that's not necessarily true. i don't expect to be impressed, but i do expect to not be toyed with.

and maybe some of us think we have to impress because we've seen how finicky some women can be.

myka said she likes a guy who's confident and has a sense of self. however, she also says that she like tall, dark, handsome, and tattooed. if a guy doesn't fit the bill physically, and he wants to get her attention, then he's likely going to try something to impress her.


. . .


It's all about preferences. I love dark hair on guys. Does that mean I'm only going to be attracted to and want to date guys with dark hair? No. I also like tattoos on guys. Does that mean I'm only going to go for guys with tattoos? Of course not. It also does not mean that those who do not have dark hair or tattoos are going to have to try to impress me. Those who do that come off as trying too hard.


Oh good, things are looking up :banana:

I would like a man who doesn't need to downgrade others to feel better about himself. A man who has his goal in life in sight or has reached it. A man who feels that woman are just as deserving of respect and value as men are. A man who believes that our purpose in a relationship is to attend to life together, supporting and enjoying each other along the way. Etc...

Maybe a man who can ask for directions, I have met a couple so I know they are out there:wink: laugh


I ask for directions alot bigsmile flowerforyou

Hmmmm I would like a guy who is confident with out a GIANT ego. For some reason guys think they need to impress us. I don't know maybe some women do need that but I sure don't. What really gets my attention the most is someone who is themselves no regardless of what anyone else thinks. How am I suppose to love and respect someone who doesn't love an respect their self enough to be who they really are.

ALSO- I like tall, dark hair, light eyes, handsome and tattooed drool


Crap ! Im only 5'8", have dark (brown) eye's, and no tatoo's. No comment on the handsome, except that I think I was kinda handsome when I was younger. Looks like im still ridin alone bigsmile




I'm only 5'2'' so almost everyone is tall to me laugh

Please, the only difference between women and men is that men admit how shallow they are.

Like a ring of water at the bottom of a sweaty glass, that's how deep men are.


Funny you should say that, especially since your apparantly looking for a man. I'll take my shallow ring of water anyday bigsmile




I'm sorry, have we had a conversation? I suggest you know nothing of me or what I'm looking for, and if you want to look at my profile it says I prefer women. However, I'm always open to new things so if you want to teach me your ways I might listen, but whether I participate depends upon what I see.

I like men who are grown up enough to just shut up instead of always having to have the last word or "one up" others.

What does my thread have to do with your point? My thread asks a completely different question.

The first part of attraction is "what turns you on." The determining factor in whether you stay is the character of the person. Simplified, we are looking for what makes us drool first, then we worry about the little things.

I've never heard anyone say "(s)he looks well read" at a bar.
I've never heard anyone at a social gathering ask "So are there any comedians here?"

I have heard "are their any hot guys (gals) here tonight?"


While the subject may be about the so called "deeper things," most people don't start at looking for those. It's basic sociology.

I know when I think of a hot guy, I am thinking of sex, definitely NOT a long term relationship.

Does this mean that hot and long term don't coincide with each other?

I don't know but I know what I mean when I say I want a hot guy.

And yes women do have sexual desires like men where they are not looking for a long term relationship. Whether they act on them or not is individual for each woman.

Attraction needs to be there. However, not everyone is attracted to the same thing. Are you saying that just because women are saying what they're attracted to, they're shallow?

The guys I am super attracted to physically are rarely the kind of guy I would actually want to date. If the guy is full of himself I wouldn't even give it a second thought. I may talk to the guy at the bar for oh maybe 2 minutes and move along.

No, I'm saying men and women aren't too far apart on the shallow thing. That basic attraction drives our initial searches and that the substance of a person, that which we fall in love with, is only something we come across after we get to know someone.

I'm not saying every individual woman is shallow either, there are always exceptions to every rule. What I'm saying is, whether you are a man or a woman, you don't actively go searching for their integrity or their soft heart, how can we those don't appear until after you've met someone. So to say that those are the things your looking for, well it can't be accurate.

As I said, attraction needs to be there. But for me, it must go beyond that. There has to be more to the guy than me just being attracted to him.
