what kind of girls/guys do you like?

[photoflow09]

it usually varies...i'm nearly 23 and never really had a boyfriend. To be honest i truely don't know what i want. but i'm really attracted to tall skinny lanky guys who are really artsy, you know like anything to do with the arts. I guess i should really think about it. But then none of those guys ever go for me.

For me personally..

I really really like the kind of girls (especially asian), that wear glasses, and nerdy kind of...I think that's really cute...and even more so if they're they nerdy studying type, the kind that stays in the library

and kind of quiet too

lol that sounds like me 0.o always felt kinda dorky. Most people would see the glasses thing as being genetically inferior haha but I hate procreation and social darwinism anyway
I can't be bothered studying for school but I like to read things that actually interest me and hide in the library at lunch. Borders is one of my favorite places ever!

I tend to like guys who are way out of my league, especially musicians, but any artistic or philosophical inclination is interesting to me. Passionate, sensitive and open minded. Such guys I'm referring to usually have a dark, deadpan, self-deprecating, witty sense of humour. When someone is funny we tend to perceive them to be more intelligent. I'm not funny at all so I'm in awe at people who are! Although I might be compatible with someone more serious since I'm kind of solemn and dead beat D:

They have to be more outgoing than me (too easy) and initiate most conversations (sorry), although I don't mind whether they're introverted or extraverted. Just someone who doesn't think the idea of sharing feelings, ideas, personal beliefs is boring as hell. I'm intrigued by uh, melancholic, romantic types... D:

I have zero experience with dating though so who knows who I'm really compatible with. I read a really depressing book which featured a desirability test.. it said you were likely to only be compatible with someone with the same 'mating rating' as you, physically and psychologically... I hope I'm not too picky :/ but I guess I'd rather be alone in my dreams than settle for less.

It saddens me when we have certain racial or physical preferences because these things can't be helped. Unfortunately I am not indiscriminate, but some say the fact that you don't entirely choose who you're attracted to makes love magical. I guess I can see both sides. Thankfully I'm not often in a position to break anyone's heart, and looks don't matter for friendships... I always get crushes on caucasians with dark hair but hair colour is a minor preference. I may like certain traits but I've liked people with the complete opposite personality, so ultimately it's about the individual.

I find it so hard to live up to what I think girls would be looking for. I'm not funny. I do love humour and comedy and have quite a specific sense of humour, but I can't make people laugh myself. The only thing I feel I have that was anyone's list is I'm a musician. Other than that, I feel nothing special on the qualities and physical side. I don't have any other skills, not a good conversationalist or anything.

Some of you guys seem to like the shy, unassuming type. So do I, but have you considered going for the opposite; like the bad ass girls below. These chicks have balls unlike me.::

I like talkative guys, because I'm quiet and a natural listener - I need someone to listen to, talkers need someone to listen to them...it works. I also like "nerdy" guys with long hair and glasses - gamers, artists, brainiacs. Also, if he can't see the humor in morbid comedy, I don't think it would work, I love jokes about death and violence.

Oh my god

You like nerds with long hair and glasses?

and to think that I was proud of myself for not playing much video games / engaging in other nerdy activities in the past year.. and getting a buzz cut before school started and sitting in the front of the classroom everyday so i don't have to wear glasses

Life will never be the same again!

why can't all girls be like you?

[Interzone]

I guess someone like me but maybe just a tad bit more outgoing. ****, I don't really know...

Lol, yeah...because when we're silent, we'll know why and maybe it won't be as awkward? IDK.

I've seen plenty of attractive people, guys and girls, on these forums. Looks only carry so far, apparently. Plus, I was not a pretty kid - I was awkward looking. I remember in kindergarden, some girl told me I had a fat face, lol.

I agree with that. I grew up overweight as a kid and was picked on a lot because of it. I'll probably always be dragging-around a weird mentality with me due to that.

Not to say I'm Brad Pitt now or anything, 'just sharing the opinion that looks don't seem to translate into confidence or social comfort. Kim Basinger and Chris Cornell are just 2 attractive celebrities who both have had struggles with SP.

yea this is true, such as myself B)

but i learned in psych, that social anxiety and social phobias go down as attractiveness goes up. obviously there are many exceptions

 

[iamthenra]

I like girls that are alive! Haha! LOL

This thread made it clear why I'll never get a girlfriend forever when humor is such critical criteria

I don't think you have to be a comedian to get a girl. I think to most people it's preferable cause who doesn't wanna be with someone who makes them laugh, but you really just have to like the same kind of humor. Otherwise, you'll rain on eachother's parades. Example: one of my friends had a crush on me and I sort of liked him back but every time I showed him something I thought was funny, he'd say "....that wasn't funny at all". I didn't like him any more because he didn't find happiness in things that made me laugh, so then I just got brought down all the time.

It's not about "Can you make me laugh?" it's about "Can you laugh with me?" I'm sure there are girls out there who share your sense of humor.

Yep what Harley said..and yknow if you meet someone who is right for you,she will bring that sence of humour out of you,you really dont have to be a stand up..just be able to have a laugh together.

 

[PhantomPod]

I like guys who are genuine and kind-hearted, have a good sense of humor, and who like to have intelligent and thought provoking conversations. I also tend to like quiet guys, since louder, out-going guys make me pretty anxious and just seem to make me feel like a complete loser if I'm around them.

 

[Queen_Of_Pain]

I like people who keep to themselves but who aren't afraid of speaking up now and then in social situations/debates. Also people who don't get offended easily, I prefer to relax knowing that I can speak my mind rather than having to sugar coat my words. Looks don't bother me really. I do have a thing for longer hair on guys though.

Well..within reason.

 

[iamthenra]

I like girls who are 98.6 degrees F

I think the second one down literally has balls.
