<p>I love metrosexuals. I don't have a problem with rough hands, but I love love love guys with soft manicured hands.</p>
<p>Macho manly men turn me off. My ideal guy would definitely buy his shampoo from a salon and not where he buys milk and eggs.</p>
<p>I'm a fashion freak, so a man who knows his designer is a gift from heaven.</p>
<p>Out of curiosity, what do most girls think about weird hobbies/passions and such? I'm not talking "I can program computers in 6 languages" weird, but more like these two things (based on examples from me).</p>
<p>Girl:"So what did you do Friday night?"
Me:"I was playing guitar and decided I felt like running, so I went out and ran 20 miles."
Girl:"Wait, what?"
Me:"I felt like running."</p>
<p>Girl:"So what did you do Friday night?"
Me:"I sat in my rocking chair and listened to Animals, Quadrophenia, and Queen Live at Wembley '86 straight through."
Girl"..."</p>
<p>Twenty miles? Hardcore, dude. Classic Rock? Fine with me. I have Quadrophenia myself and Queen rules. The guy I dated last summer had one of the weirdest hobbies of all ... Reenacting ... Yes, he would go out of town on weekends in the fall and spring to run around in the woods dressed as a World War II German soldier with real guns shooting blanks at guys wearing American uniforms though he would sometimes dress as a Russian and shoot at the Germans instead! His spare bedroom in his apartment was like a museum of that stuff. Believe it or not, I thought some of it was kinda cool and it wasn't why I dumped him! LOL</p>
<p>For me, weird hobbies are well...weird. I wouldn't mind if a guy had one.. As long as he doesn't bring me on his WWII reenactments or ask me to run 20 miles, Im great.
I'm all about the average guy who has that certain something.</p>
<p>I like weird hobbies--I have them myself. It makes things interesting. :D</p>
<p>
You're jumping to conclusions when you say that all girls think that all guys are shallow. I never said such a thing. I freely admit to being conscious of appearance, because as I said, "physical attraction is what separates a friendship from a romance" ...but physical attraction is a very general term, and I don't care about six-packs or seductive smiles or dark, inquisitive eyes. For me to be physically attracted to a guy, the only real prerequisites are (1) personal hygiene and (2) a certain level of physical fitness (but I don't need anything extreme!)--besides that, anything goes, but I want a guy to look healthy and self-respecting. Is that so shallow of me?
</p>
<p>I was speaking in general terms. I was in no way attempting to imply that you, or all women, are shallow.</p>
<p>Cassiodorus: You implied it, when you responded to a post of mine.

<p>Basically, yeah. Because girls never admit it. Guys are always "so shallow", but all of you are as shallow as well are, you're just not vocal about it.

If looks were all that mattered, then how would an ass-ugly rock star like Mick Jagger be considered sex god? I guess there are many things that can compensate for all cases of ugliness.

Can you not read? I said the number one way to get sex is to BE RICH. Rock star = rich = lots of sexing!</p>
<p>Its obvious, man! Guys are not 'so shallow'. Its us girls who are the shallow ones. Otherwise what I said above wouldn't be true. Plus, girls want too much attention.</p>

If that is weird then I am equally weird. I'd be your friend. :3</p>

<p>Hey, it's a shallow shallow world and we can't help it. Guys or girls.... everyone's shallow on some level.</p>
<p>It was implied because of the lack of a plural for "you" in English. That was not my intent, I have already said.</p>
<p>I think you misunderstand. You said "all girls", which is an unfounded generalization. That is what I objected to. In whichever case, it's just a question of semantics, and I have no intent to pursue this line of conversation further.</p>
<p>We want guys who are smart, caring, and motivated. Good looks are a plus, but I would choose a sweet ugly guy over a handsome jerk anyday.</p>
<p>This thread makes me laugh out loud. </p>
<p>Think of girls as sets of replicating chemicals acting on whim and emotion. Girls want security, naturally, which is why most girls I meet are fledgling gold-diggers (even if on the subconscious level). It's the same reason why men will tell you over and over they want a girl with brains, but then turn around and attract themselves to the barbie idiots time after time. If you want to get girls you have to be confident in yourself, period (and to be even more honest, you have to show them who is boss in most situations). If you assert your motivations and goals, you will be unstoppable. You can flame me ALL YOU WANT, but this is from personal experience and OBSERVATION after OBSERVATION after OBSERVATION.</p>
<p>This is for initial attraction only. "Falling in love" entails a lot more than what was posted above (but includes what I have written above).</p>

Lol... My bf can program in 7 languages :p
I've no problems with weird/nerdy hobbies and passions... I've got my own gaming addiction for them to put up with...</p>
<p>^^^ it can sometimes be attractive</p>
<p>I said it before and I'll say it again:</p>
<p>"They want something "big" from guys, if you know what I mean :) "</p>
<p>I agree with sarorah, size isn't that important.</p>
<p>This might be a weird question but, </p>
<p>How can a guy be more confident? & how can a guy show that he is more confident? Specific examples would be good too. Thanks.</p>
<p>anyone know anything about this?</p>
<p>I've been told i'm funny and sweet but i'm overrwieght(by the way i'm working on it) why can't i get a date?</p>
