<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. 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>Manhattan75-I am just saying what I find attractive-I am definitely sports obsessed (and follow sports a lot more than the average person), and a guy who shares this passion of mine is awesome in my books. However…to say that "these people turn on the snooze button on real-life issues (social, political etc.) " is a huge generality…especially since I am an international relations/economics major and social/political issues are extremely important to me, a lot moreso than sports. But in terms of finding an irresistible guy, a guy who is extremely knowledgeable in sports is more interesting to me than a guy who is extremely knowledgeable about politics (even though I do value intelligence in a guy as well).</p>
<p>Let me give you a valuable bit of knowledge that almost all guys misunderstand. When a girl says she wants a ‘nice’ guy with a sense of humor that’s exactly what she wants. Half of the stupid boys who whine about being nice and funny yet not having dates are losers with no personality. Girls want a guy who is polite, funny, etc. but holding open doors for her won’t make up for the fact that he bases his entire day on his girlfriend, caters to her every whim, has no hobbies or discernible intelligence, and then has the nerve to whine that he’s get more dates if he was a jerk. </p>
<p>Jerks just tend to have more personality and interests. Self-labeled ‘nice guys’ are almost universally two-dimensional and yawn-inducing. Consider this your meeting with the clue-by-four. You’re welcome.</p>
<p>today is a horrible day. first i failed my pchem exam which is like 30% of my grade, so now i’m going to get like a C+ in that class. then i was giving a turtle a bath in the sink and its flipper got stuck in the drain and it grunted at me even though they don’t have vocal cords so somehow it overcame millions of year of evolution because i suck. then I found out my forehead is like 7 inches longer than everyone else’s, or as someone put it kindly, a “five-head”</p>
<p>Alix, ever see video of turtles having sex? Yeah… they grunt. it’s pretty enticing. In fact, can I add that to my list of irresistible traits in a guy; grunting. :D</p>
<p>I’m really not that picky :p. If he’s a nice person and we seem to be compatible, I would definitely give him a chance :). </p>
<p>However…bonus qualities include (definitely not requirements!!!..just helps the cause):</p>
<p>-likes dogs
-dark hair
-kinda quiet
-doesn’t need to be funny but it would be lovely if he laughs
-wants a long term relationship
-has a good relationship with his family
-reliable</p>

<p>Thanks, but I already understood that. I wasn’t talking about those guys. I was talking about genuinely interesting, genuinely funny, intelligent, non-doormats who can’t get a woman to give them the time of day. This, as I said, is my observation, so it’s a real phenomenon even if you are confusing it with something else.</p>
