    Come on ladies.. let's be honest. Most want a 6 pack, a 10 inch cawk, and a 6 figure income. Full head of hair is a plus too.

    No. No. No. No.


    All we want is to feel desirable, wanted and loved. That's it. Okay, a little sex-appeal is always a bonus :wink:.

    Bulllllllllsheeeeeeeeeeet. I'm sure if some less than attractive chubby guy starts hitting on you, desiring you one might say, you're probably going to react a hell of a lot different if Mr. 8% body fat does the same exact thing. Been there done that. Not that I'm 8% body fat by an stretch of the imagination but at 290 I was flat out turned down 100% of the time right out the gate. Some girls even walked away without even speaking back. At 230ish at least I actually get a chance to talk for a couple minutes, though there is still a clear "Oh, heavy guy" vibe women put out. Seriously ladies, drop the nice girl act. You're not fooling anyone.

    Honestly, you sound bitter/have a chip on your shoulder, and that isn't attractive. Stop looking at shallow women and maybe you won't have these experiences.

    Judging by the men women are with I'm going to say looks and $$$.
    Obviously you are attracted to the wrong women. :D

    I have been with the same guy for 8 years (next month, but let's not be picky). The initial attraction? His eyes, he was tall, and he smiled at me like I was the most important person in the world. He was 19 when we met, he partied, he was attractive TO ME, he was NOT rich, we both made our own money and paid for our own things. The reason we lasted? Because we both mutually respected and cared for the other, and we had lots of good sex. :D

    By the way the last two things still haven't changed. BAZINGA

    Whenever women say the first thing they were attracted to was a man's eyes that's their way of trying to say looks without being shallow. It's a safe thing to pick. It doesn't sound as bad as saying "He was hot."

    OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE ATTRACTED TO THE WRONG WOMEN.

    Or as someone already pointed out, it's both genders doing it... Mr. 8% probably wouldn't be interested in me either. I have cellulite, stretch marks, and a bad attitude. But I do not hold it against Mr. 8% or Jessica Alba who still has flawless skin and can get Mr. 8%, after all I found someone that loves me for me. Now relax, and stop being a diva.

    Not to sound cliche but i think you just have to be yourself....BUT on those dating sites you have to be really honest (not modest) and put what you are really like and have to offer, honestly. If you make 6 figures write it, if you make a comfortable living write that. If you're super considerate, outdoorsy, a city boy, a dry sense of humour, the life of the party, don't be afraid to be honest about your positive qualities or better yet, ask someone you know to write it about you since they will be less likely to omit things due to modesty and most likely to remember every nice thing about you. Plus things you didn't even know mattered, like the way you always remember exactly what someone wanted in their starbucks, or how you always order at restaurants with like 3 omissions/special instructions/substitutions but you are so charming you make the waitress WANT to bring it right. They cannot write it in front of you because you will try to get them to remove half of the very best things about you out of modesty or fear of overreaching.

    It's kind of a catch 22: be yourself but have someone else write it. Or is it ironic? Or just backwards, idk but that's my advice.

    The thing is if you represent yourself as accurately as possible you will likely attract women who are just exactly interested in those qualities, thus you. As you saw from the list you made from the answers here there are LOTS of qualities to choose from and no man could expect to be all those things. Who could be a nerd playing HALO all day and simultaneously a superambitious never-say-die go getter, know what I mean? Different strokes for different folks. Now go get a folk so you can get to stroking.

    Just to clarify from you ladies who listed non-physical qualities.

    So physical attraction doesn't play into the quality you're looking for in a guy? Granted that's subjective I know. But basically are you saying, if the guy looks good on paper he's good to go?

    Oh absolutely not! good on paper could be boring in real life...I absolutely need chemistry/attraction - but that isn't quantifiable in physical qualities. Sure, being tall, fit, etc sounds great - but I have been extremely attracted to short/overweight men too, and am not attracted to every tall, fit man.

    What kind of women were you hitting on that shut you down every time and sometimes walked away without even speaking back? I'm guessing they weren't "Less than attractive chubby"?

    6 pack is a plus. But I want someone to be healthy. And if you can get it in 10 inches YOUR A MAD MAN! And a 6 figure salary, no, But I don't want to have to be relied on to pay the bills. A good paying job would be nice. And my man shaves his head really short. So I don't mind that either. Your perception of women and how they want their men are completely off. Sorry

    We're saying that the entire package is considered, and that certain outstanding qualities can make up for other, less desirable ones.

    For what it's worth, for me the physical attraction is broken down into three categories. Tall, handsome face, fit body. If he has at least two out of three, no matter what combination, I'll probably find him physically attractive. But all manner of bad personality traits can shut down physical attraction real quick.

  • Most of women have said already written down what I'm looking for: kind-hearted, intelligent, family oriented, hard worker, respectful, nice eyes/smile, et al., but I'd also like to add that his weirdness has to be compatible with mine. Also, he has to be willing to help out around the house. Doesn't have to be taller than me.

    I can only speak from my experience, I dated a variety of men when I was single. All body types, all personalities as well. The idea that you have not found at least one woman that has given you the time of day seems a bit far fetched, you either live in the rudest neighborhood ever, or you have been approaching the wrong kind of females. I am sorry that you have not had the chance to meet a nice lady that founds you appealing the way you are. However I am sure that just because you have not, does not mean that the ladies here are not genuine.

    Granted looks do play a part, but all types of "looks" get noticed by somebody.

    I was speaking more about when I was much heavier. It's sligthly better now. Most women seem a little bit more receptive or at least willing to talk. I'm just pointing out all the personality based answers being given need to be taken with a grain of salt. I'm the same guy on the inside I was when I was 290 (and 365 if we want to go back a few more years) but somehow magically women are more willing to talk to me now. Somehow my "Hello" sounds totally different now? Seriously? I'm sure when I'm 200 my options will open up even futher. Just sayin'.

    Preferably that they are breathing. LOL

    I'm really not that picky but I do like a nice pair of eyes and decent teeth. There are also the obvious... someone who is real and doesn't play games, financially stable so I don't have to take care of them and an easy going nature like I have. I can say that there does have to be some kind of spark or initial attraction though. As for physical attraction...I've noticed that when you get to know someone it is the person and personality that will make them even more attractive than the physical. I know some pretty ugly people out there...

    I happen to think you are cute...and I also agree with the "feel good" stuff...but yea if I can get the "feel good" from a guy I think is hot over a guy I don't think is hot then yea I will go for hot...but you have no idea what I think is hot...it varies, like you said....
