<p>For the majority of the people, physical attraction is the most important thing.</p>
<p>stone_cutter-
ok I see where you're coming from now. I agree that physical attraction IS one of the most important if not the most important thing, however I was just saying that it's not the ONLY thing that counts..you know?</p>
<p>Okay, from a pure biological standpoint, for long term relationships, females seek a male that will be able to pass down her genes. [i.e., procreate]</p>
<p>This means it means that females seek someone that can best to protect her off-springs. They prefer traits such as a strong build and responsible personality. It is an innate biological process that is true all across the animal kingdom, whether you are a bacteria, human, or a chimp.</p>
<p>For short term relationships, females usually seek males that are "hot," not necessary the best candidate for procreation.</p>
<p>In short, females tend to date (i.e., experiment) with hotter guys, but ultimately marries a person (in most cases less attractive) that is more able to be financially supportive and able to raise their children so that their genes can be past down to the next generation.</p>
<p>Yeah, it's definitely not the ONLY thing, but it's the thing that starts most relationships... which explains why most relationships are the way they are.</p>
<p>^^agreed
and ultimately 3s marry 3s, 7s marry 7s, and so forth. if you get what i mean. </p>
<p>i hate it when you have guys talking crap about the way a girl looks when they are not good looking. (not that goodlooking guys have a right too either)</p>
<p>Definitely with the attention. If you like a girl, text or call her every once in awhile... not everyday at first, just once or twice a week. Try to make plans with her (even if it's just group plans with a bunch of people) and pay attention to her more than other girls. And also, <em>don't be afraid to make the first move</em>. I've noticed that a lot of guys these days are so afraid of being rejected that they won't even do any of my above suggestions.</p>
<p>^^^yeah guys..step up to the plate..in a lot of cases, its us who are waiting for you to make the first move..</p>

But physical attraction IS the the thing that a relationship initially starts with

<p>Hmm, I've seen a lot of relationships that started with friendship (due to constant close proximity) and evolved into dating. They've usually lasted longer, too.</p>
<p>I think all my relationships have evolved from friendship? One of my really close friends and I just tried being together and it didn't work though. Then again, I think we both screwed it up a little. Maybe we'll try it again some day...</p>
<p>Also, it definitely didn't happen out of physical attraction. He kept getting a ton of remarks from people we knew about how they're "shocked he actually got a girlfriend" and I got crap about how I must've been drugged or blind to date him.</p>
<p>the trick is to be an @sshole 90% of the time and nice about 10% of the time. It will always work unless the girl is way outta your league</p>
<p>According to Family Guy, if you treat girls like crap, they respond positively... Any truth to this?</p>
<p>I personally would not put up with a guy who treated me like crap.</p>

Nope. Well it depends on the girl.</p>

<p>Only if they wanted you in the first place. It reinforces their belief that they like you via cognitive dissonance because they need to rationalize their allowance for your abuse. Thus, they convince themselves that they respond positively because they like you - yay a feedback cycle.</p>
<p>^ haha, I understood what you just said. Yay for psychology class!</p>
<p>what do girls want?? hmmm, that's not tough... girls want arm candy. someone to kiss and hold hands with and show off in the halls. someone that is attractive, sporty, popular. i know because i used to be one.</p>
<p>but now, women, on the other hand.... they want someone caring, compassionate, less focussed on looks and more focused on personality (looks not so imp[ortant, but there must be attraction).someone that is willing to give something up for the good of the relationship. willing to compromise. someone that genuinly listens to their wants and needs and wants the best for them. trustworthy. a best friend. and real WOMEN want MEN, not boys or guys.</p>
<p>I hope this thread helps next year. . .</p>
<p>FSUboound! summed it up well. That's also what men want from women.</p>
<p>Some of the girls im close to always say "guys are slow"...?</p>
<p>So do girls like "fast" guys? lol!</p>
