<li>Canadian. The way they say “aboat”.</li>
<li>Athletic </li>
<li>Mechanic-like megan fox in transformers in the garage fixing cars…</li>
<li>Wears scarves and trendy hats/caps.</li>

<p>Oh boy, does that have the potential to specify two radically different men.
On one hand you can get the athletic-built type; lean, muscular, probably plays a few sports…
On the other you get the drunkin’, 300 pounder with a keg for a stomach that refuses to go outside on sundays because it’s football season.</p>
<p>Haha everyone seems so picky! I tend to find guys that are really into sports to be a little bit shallow although that definitely does not mean all! I think guys are most attractive that are clearly intelligent and have a witty sense of humor. As long as they are taller then me (i know, i know) and have a healthy looking physique, that’s as far as I care specifically about looks… although good smiles are definitely a hook :]</p>
<p>What I find interesting about sports-obsessed people is that many of them have these complex, calculated, and intricate plans related to sports management and strategy, but these people turn on the snooze button on real-life issues (social, political, etc). I don’t think the obsessed sports fan is shallow, I just think the priorities are a little backwards. </p>
<p>I am a huge sports fan, but I take my sports in mediation with other things in my life. I think people have issues with the one-dimensional sports fan who does not care about anything else.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Hey, I think we picked on Orson enough. Let it be.</p>
<p>Haha agreed. I actually find sports fanatics boring and unrelatable, but that’s just me. I also am not really into watching sports in excess, which, now that I think about it, is possibly a turn off for some guys.</p>
<p>methinks a few people are in for a big disappointment when prince/princess charming doesn’t show up because they expect Jesus himself to descend into their loving arms</p>
<p>Women, get your hate engines revving because you are about to be angry with me. Ya see, I think that only men are honest about what they want in a girl. I think that women lie. I think women say what’s expected of them, but if you want to know what sort of man women go for, you have to look at what women actually <em>do</em>, not what they say they want. This is an insight I’ve picked up from economics, where you can’t look at what people say but at what they do (especially politicians).</p>
<p>Any woman can say they want a nice guy with a sense of humor. But most nice guys and guys with great senses of humor have trouble dating while jerks never have trouble dating. This isn’t me being bitter or complaining, just pointing out what I’ve observed.</p>
<p>It’s my opinion that only girls who are actually mature are completely past the “bad boy” phase and actually will date nice guys and guys who are actually funny (as in witty, not Adam Sandleresque idiots). I also think that women in this country don’t mature nearly as fast as they think they do.</p>
<p>^well, sure some girls are like that, but then again, many guys are simply lookin for tits and ass and don’t care if she can read or not…personally, I stay away from guys who are jerks because they’re just going to hurt you in the end. anyway:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>has a dry/dark sense of humor. isn’t appalled by my occasional dead fetus jokes</p></li>
<li><p>does random cheesy things to show he cares: last summer in ireland i missed my dog SO much so my boyfriend mailed me a plush snoopy toy (dog’s name is charlie brown but we call him snoopy lol)</p></li>
<li><p>can cheer me up just by smiling :] can relax and be a dork sometimes</p></li>
</ul>
<p>No, silly, his first name is Charlie Brown. his last name is my last name which i can’t tell you because in real life you’re really 46 and a stalker, like everyone else on the internet</p>
<p>oh yeah and if my dog doesn’t like a guy, then I know right off the bat the guy’s not for me. snoopy can sniff out the jerks</p>
<p>nah, i’m sure he finds mexican guys irresistable, is all…maybe he prefers his meat well-done ;)</p>
<p>@manhattan - maybe i’ll see you in washington sq park with Callie once it’s warmer out…i’ll be the one reading a physics book under the arch while snoopy pees on hobos and tries to pick on dogs twice his size</p>
<p>btw, do not try the tip i suggested to Orson on me, my dog will bite your nuts off and toss 'em in the fountain</p>
<p>Well my dog lives in the suburbs with my parents. I hardly see her anymore.</p>
<p>She’s a Tibetan Terrier. She is very friendly with people and very affectionate, but absolutely hates other dogs. Never saw a worse dog with other dogs. I think she thinks that she is a human.</p>
<p>Alix, I’m sure plenty of women in their twenties are mature enough to stay away from jerks, but I’ve heard too many girls say they specifically do not like bad boys–but that’s what they date anyway. Of course, they always come back with “but I didn’t know he was a bad boy!” which means they are either horrendous at reading people or lying.</p>
<p>Funny your dog can sniff out jerks. My best friend is a girl, and I can always sniff out jerks/psychos/Satan-worshippers, etc. that she’s interested in and warn her. She has no ability to do this for herself. And she gets mad at <em>me</em> every time, for bursting her bubble.</p>
<p>Alix, is your dog a beagle? Because I remember snoopy from the cartoon was a beagle. I wish I had a dog! My mom is scared of them, unfortunately. You guys picked cute names for your pets. </p>
<p>Ideal characteristics in a guy for me:
friendly and warm personality
I prefer dark hair
good with animals and children
Funny, but not in a cocky way that puts other people down</p>
