Many different good qualities. The one we DON'T want.....those that feel they need to text us 1000 times a day and expect us to answer each one in less than 15 seconds.

I'm curious to know from the guys point of view, what it is that you look for in a girl/woman? Not just how they look, dig deeper then just appearance
I've heard that bad grammar can be a deal breaker...
I guess every message board has one. Looks like the Grammer Police have arrived. Welcome to the party. Now, do you have anything relevent to add?
Yes..read above. I was being serious.
Actually, most men could care less about grammar. They do not however like prude women. Take note
The *kitten* are you talking about? lol How am I a prude?
Excuse me for pointing out the obvious, but that is not proper grammer.0 -
My hubby says this is one smart girl (above)Although I am not a guy, it seems that being fun, sense of humor, easy going, smart, not clingy, and secure with yourself - and of course take pride in your appearance - isn't it the same for both sexes? And good/fun in the sack.....0 -
For me:
Intelligence, first and foremost. You don't have to be worldly or well-read, even. But, you should be able to understand an unfamiliar topic well enough to know how to ask questions.
Sense of humor. The more warped the better. Easily offended types need not apply.
Looks This is 3rd, but it's a fairly distant 3rd. In a perfect world it wouldn't matter, but this one is far from perfect. Assuming dating will eventually become physical - well...not to put to fine a point on it but - my d!ck will need to get hard at some point - and that means I have to have a physical attraction. Smarts and personality can go a long way, and I've had less physically attractive girls grow to become VERY attractive to me based on personality, but yeah - it's there and it's a thing.
Those are kind of the general ones. I'm a HUGE sucker for girls with weird colored hair, girls who make their own clothes, girls who are artsy/craftsy, "quirky" girls, and nerdy girls. Also: any girl who calls me "honey" or "sweetie."
Oh and a really big one: I really can't get into girls who need a man to "complete" them or whatever you want to call it. I am looking for an EQUAL, not a servant, not a silent partner, and not someone whose happiness is dependent on having a man in their life. It's been said here before, but whenever I see posts that go "so my boyfriend/husband/whatever doesn't allow me to ______________" I just shake my head and go :huh: . I want a girl who would get a hernia from laughing if I ever tried to "forbid" her from doing something, since that's the response she'd get from me if it went the other way.

Then vs. than? If that's a deal breaker, I'm good with that. I'm not looking for an English teacher.
By the way, I have also heard that being a ***** is a deal breaker.....Grammer can be corrected, being a ***** is more of a life sentance. Hope you're good with that.

Look at me with my bad spelling and poor grammer. I'm off now to by me a phew catz. Know mans evir gonna want mee.0 -

Definition: a person who is excessively proper or modest in speech, conduct, dress, etc.
You my dear... are being WAY proper in your speech. Give it a rest and leave the OP alone. You come off as prude, rude and a little bit of a, well... you know.0 -

Oddly enough, I think that would be the coolest alternative ever. Until the pigeon attacked!0 -
I actually read an article in Glamour magazine where they interviewed a bunch of men and a lot of them said that we judge ourselves too harshly on what our bodies look like, that the majority of them think we look just fine and aren't into big fake boobs and skinny as a rail. Found that interesting, you always hear a guy say, "you look fine.." but you just think they are being nice, maybe they're really telling the truth, haha
Oh yeah and wanted to chime in on this:
it's TOTALLY true. Women are WAY too hard on themselves when it comes to looks. I have met very sexy women of a LOT of different shapes and sizes. It's all in how you work it, and how you carry yourself. Confidence is VERY sexy. But unless there's some GLARING fashion faux pas going on, most guys aren't going to notice or care. Let's put it this way: one of the ways men think a woman looks the absolute hottest?
Hair in a ponytail, minimal makeup, in a pair of our boxers and one of our old t-shirts.
that's HOT as *kitten*. Seriously.0 -
For me its intelligence, humor,strength,enjoy the outdoors looks do matter to a degree but please my big pet peeve is the excuses they have for letting themselves go after marriage/baby either or both.0

Kim... there is NO WAY that you can convince me that you don't attract guys. You are way too pretty. Guys are all different. I just know what I am looking for. Someone who loves me for me. Be yourself. My guess is you met some A-holes along the way and are second guessing yourself.0

Depends on the pigeon of course. If he is brought up properly then he wouldn't attack... however, if he had a rough pigeonhood... then I couldn't promise you anything.0 -
First post ftw:
So, looking for things in a *WOMAN* is different than something in a girl. Women should be financially stable, have a personality and I mean something they have acquired over their life, not a "blonde personality" or a "red head personality". They shouldn't be a stereotype of any sorts, they should be unique.
They should be able to have consistent conversation without having to bring up something from a magazine or from the radio (ie: So-and-so just got married with so-and-so, then got divorced). Should be able to understand words that would require a high school diploma, if not some kind of college education.
They should be needy but smothering. A woman should want to be with her man but give him distance when he needs it. Hence, like myself, I am very geeky. I love playing games on my computer or just relaxing and playing on my phone / laptop. That is not a sign of ignorance but a sign of "alone time" and that should be appreciated just as much as the time you spend with that significant other.
You should be able to accept and appreciate cuddles and alone time without needing to "get freaky" every time you do so. Alone time can also be considered a BONDING time, not physical time, so that there is option for getting to know more about each other.
I personally don’t want kids so I suppose that’s another thing I would need if I were looking (happily in a relationship though ladies…) so that’s a biggie for me.
I suppose I am very picky, as a LOT of women focus more on looks and being the “perfect woman” OR are just trashy (in my experiences)… So the fact is, I want a mature person, no matter the age, all on their own. I shouldn’t have to be asked how they should act.0 -

Believe it or not, some men do not like women with poor grammar as it is a sign of low intelligence. Fact. Nothing to get uptight about.0 -

I don't feel I was uptight for defending the OP. Every single thing she said, you had to point something out that was wrong with it. That is a little childish. I for one, am very proper in my grammar, but I'm not going to go chasing after someone and 'beating' them up about it. Just saying.0 -

Beating her up about it lol That is an exaggeration.
She asked a question and I gave my honest opinion. The OP started getting all bent out of shape about it and asked me if I had anything actually helpful to contribute to the conversation. My original comment was true and meant to be helpful.0 -
Uhm . . . Independent, classy, funny, gorgeous, considerate, caring, opinionated, but also a little vulnerable, and passionate about something. Nothing is more unattractive than a girl who has no idea who she is as a person and just tries to fit a mold of whatever guy she is with.0

i only dont agree with that cause i do that and more and well not one man has been faithful just sayin0

OK...BACK TO TOPIC...another thing that I look for would be teeth...does she, in fact have them....is she missing any and how sharp are they!!0

There is a grammar czar on every forum! She just pointed out your gramatic errors. I will agree to some degree. In written format, poor grammar does tend to be a turn off for me. A ladies "stock" might drop, yes, deal breaker, unlikely. Some people are good in math, others, in English, as long as she has some good intellectual areas of strength, I can overlook some with weaknesses.0 -

You have my sense of humor at least!Oddly enough, I think that would be the coolest alternative ever. Until the pigeon attacked!
Or until it pooped on your freshly washed car or on your head.Kim... there is NO WAY that you can convince me that you don't attract guys. You are way too pretty. Guys are all different.

She's a single mom, it's much harder to be "approachable" if you are with kids. Even if we don't see a ring, it's hard to come up and introduce yourself and possibly ask her out in front of her kids, and lets face it, most single moms generally have primary custody.0 -

I like women who take direct pics of their chests, and put in their MFP albums and profile pics. No, seriously, I do! :flowerforyou:0
