<p>this is going to be like the 'secret to a girls heart' thread w/o the crap that was posted, OK...good</p>

<p>so...females, what do want from a guy? what are you looking for from them? what do you think is the biggest problem with most adolescent/college age males today?</p>

<p>I sense that this thread is going to get hijacked again, especially since Stanford is still active.</p>

<p>What do girls want from a guy?
One word.
Attention.</p>

<p>Biggest problem guys have?
They're guys.</p>

5

<p>heh heh heh....meh.</p>

6

<p>Yeah, ATTENTION is the key. Not even kidding. Girls (myself included) become "clingy" when the guy stops giving the girl as much attention as she wants...</p>

7

<p>well to honestly answer you..id go with attention, but not too much.
and be sweet but def. not too sweet. tease her, but don't be a jerk. </p>

<p>idk, its different for every girl. and trust me, we change our minds alot too</p>

<p>I only go out with guys who go on the internet for dating advice.</p>

</p>

<p>That's totally right. Some guys can get away with certain things while some others can't. I can't tell you girls liked to be teased because if you're not the teaser type but you try to be, the result would be disastrous. The same goes with other desirable traits. </p>

<p>What do we want? Huh. Mmmm.... We want to be feel loved. I know it sounds cliche... But we want to feel special. Dude, usually, there are about 5+ guys after me per school year. And I always think: "Why?!?!? Why isn't any of these idiots bringing me cake on a random day??!?! Don't they know that'd do it?!?!?! Don't they know?!?!?!?!?" And I get so exasperated at their lack of brains/creativity. </p>

<p>That was just an anecdote. But it reflects the essence of the problem: Us, girls, want to feel special. Not special on Valentine's. Or special on our birthday. Special every day. Any guy who realizes this will have "the secret to a girl's heart". The problem unfortunately, is that many guys don't.</p>

<p>Actually, too much attention can be kind of creepy. There's a fine line between flirting and stalking.</p>

<p>The biggest problem with adolescent/college males: they're morons. Seriously, grow some brain cells and then we'll talk.</p>

<p>Agreed with StellaNova.</p>

<p>To quote the Beatles, "All you need is love". But in seriousity, I can't speak for all girls, but my assumption is that girls want respect <em>coughwhichstanfordlackscough</em>, attention (but not too much to the point of being creepy), humor, creativity, compassion, aaaand it depends on each girl's taste.</p>

12

<p>Some girls like being stalked but pretend they don't.
It gives them one more thing to talk about.</p>

<p>(I said, some).</p>

13

<p>hmm there really is no set answer. but, with my experience, i've found that the easiest description is just treat the girl how you would want to be treated. if you have a good head on your shoulders, you have a sense of what that consists of..it's not like womens minds are impossible to decipher. you wouldn't want someone to be insincere to you, and you certainly wouldn't want someone to disrespect you. of course, all women are definitely not the same. you can't put them all into one homogenous pile, just like girls can't do that to guys. i'd say the top things i look for are-- humanity, humor, sincerity, and ambitious drive.</p>

14

<p>wow this is so enlightening ._.</p>

15

<p>I see a bunch of my friend obsess over guys and want to spend every minute with their boyfriends, so I guess attention makes a lot of sense. </p>

<p>Course, for me - if you can help me with Language Arts homework and make me laugh, you're golden. (Mostly the laughing : D)</p>

16

<p>Maybe now we're at it, we could share some pick up lines, girls.
Poor guys actually started a thread about advice.</p>

<p>I made up one in Physics class.
'Hey baby, I like your electrons. Wanna ground?'</p>

<p>Unfortunately my physics teacher heard that one, and was staring in my direction for quite some time.</p>

17

<p>^^Really? How so?</p>

18

<p>but of course, experience is the best teacher</p>

<p>(is that how that one goes?)</p>

19

<p>In terms of pick up lines? I typically don't go for guys that just see me and want to date me. Wait, scratch that. There aren't any guys that just see me and want to date me. But if there were, that would really bother me.</p>

<p>Personally, the way to my heart is to be my friend. I pretty much never develop feelings for guys that I don't know relatively well, at least, not since 7th grade. </p>

<p>Then, as for pick up lines, I personally find a simple admission of "I like you" to be adorable. After that, if you're with me, I want respect and attention. </p>

<p>Though, guys, it might be a good idea not to go on my standards. If you want to get with half of my friends, be good-looking, have some sort of talent (especially guitar), or drive some big muscley car like a maniac down the highway and you'll have them in the bag. It really depends on the kind of girl you're going for, and if you don't know the girl well enough to judge what she's like, then you probably don't like her for the right reasons (or, perhaps more correctly, enough reasons.)</p>

20

<p>You guys give bad advice.</p>

<p>Keep the respect and attention to a minimum or she'll get bored. Oh, don't become her close friend or you'll be relegated to that status forever.</p>

<p>Some of those other qualities are good, but they're not things that can occur in isolation - a sense of humor, isolated, will get you nowhere. And nothing, nothing can make up for physical attraction.</p>

<p>Truth.</p>
