<p>However, my friends think my taste in men is pretty strange, so I think you're probably better off not listening to my advice...</p>
<p>^ i hope you are being sarcastic and are joking.</p>
<p>okay nvm i should have asked this post to these chicks on cc cuz they r really fing weird, well not all of them but 99 percent of them, so i will never get an idealistic view of how a good looking girl judges guys. I mean cmon when u put political views and stuff first how old r you 50, seriosly parents need to stay off these boards.</p>
<p>some of you conservatives are crazy...heathens??? come on its the year 2007 not the byzantine times</p>
<p>good looking, smart, athletic, smells nice, good personality, isn't shy, humorous,</p>
<p>in order of importance
1) nethack skills. seriously, if you told me you were on the nethack devteam you'd instantly become ten times hotter.
2) a bunch of cliche abstract qualities that have probably already been listed in this thread.
3) transparency. must know me well and vice versa. it's hard not to love someone once you understand the motivations behind their actions. i'm guessing this is the logic behind god.</p>
<p>I'm going to second all of trishalynn_08's advice on the first page just because it's general and solid. So, to reiterate:
1) Cleanliness is essential. Work out, shower, keep bits of food way the **** out of your goatee, etc. It's sort of mutual - ex, the "if you don't respect yourself how can I expect you to respect me?" thing. Yes, physical attractiveness is relative, but hygine is the core of it.
2) Shared humor is definitely appealing; if a girl say she wants a funny guy, there's absolutely no way to determine what she means my that, so figure yourself out first and go for the girl who seems compatible (i.e. Will Ferrel movies vs dry humor...whatever, you all can figure that out).
3) At least some level of similar interests. Somehow I got lucky and ended up with my male clone; he likes cars more than I do and I read more than he does, but other than that we're the most normal pair of poker-playing left-leaning trail-hiking competitive irreligious science nerds in the San Antonio area. I mean, hey, it helps conversation.
4) A bit of ineffable compatability. I'm probably in the minority but I think all relationships have to be founded to a large degree upon friendship; if you only like a person romantically you're never going to be able to love them.</p>
<p>you know what I'm sick of? trying my hardest to interest good looking girls and they get to decide if they're interested or not. why can't a girl try to interest me for once? girls like to preach about equality in everything else except for relationships, it's always the guys who HAVE to make the first move at a bar or a night club..it's pretty weak if you ask me.</p>
<p>IlikeDice- I feel the opposite... usually I'm the one trying to interest the guys. And it ALWAYS turns out that the guy isn't interested in a relationship, and he only wants to hook up.</p>
<p>Wow. This is irrelevant to the original topic but because I encountered it a few times in this thread, I felt compelled to mention it. </p>
<p>Here's the entry for the word "Heathen" from Dictionary.com:</p>
<ol>
<li>an unconverted individual of a people that do not acknowledge the God of the Bible; a person who is neither a Jew, Christian, nor Muslim; pagan.<br></li>
</ol>
<p>Which is exactly what I mentioned. I wasn't trying to insult anyone, but merely stating that I, ME, MY PERSONA, would not date a heathen. If anyone else here is not religious and doesn't find religion important then that's your opinion- you wouldn't mind if someone you're dating is religious or not. But in my case, it's critical because I truly believe in God and I think true religion is one of the most beautiful thing he gaves you. </p>
<p>Think about it: </p>
<p>Would I be able to date one of the guys in this thread that said religion didn't matter or were heathens (see definition above)?</p>
<p>Chances are they wouldn't like me and I wouldn't like them so it simply makes sense for me not to choose someone like that. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, social liberalism has taken such a deep root in American youth that when someone says: "I would like to date a nice religious boy", people jump at her and say: "What? Religion? How dare you!"</p>
<p>"4) A bit of ineffable compatability. I'm probably in the minority but I think all relationships have to be founded to a large degree upon friendship; if you only like a person romantically you're never going to be able to love them."
Wow, I agree completely. I can't even think of anything to add... I just... yeah. That's so incredibly true!</p>
<p>I can't really create a top ten list... There are some guys that I just get along with very well. It's not as if I'm exclusively attracted to liberal, humorous guys, or serious, intellectual ones... I can't explain why I'm attracted to some boys. There's simply a subtle connection that either exists or doesn't. Sometimes I like someone who shares my beliefs, and sometimes I find myself attracted to the guy who constantly argues with me, but has solid arguments nonetheless. I'm looking for an indefinable quality that just ... is there!
The only common thread is respect. I know plenty of hilarious and even caring guys that I could NEVER be attracted to, because they only want to "hook-up" with girls. Obviously, I don't expect to marry every guy that I date, but that doesn't mean that it should only be a "hook-up!" Ugh!</p>
<p>metdeth, you mean the only tangible thing "God" gave us, right?</p>
<p>you can't prove religion with the bible, sorry missy.</p>
<p>think about it, religion causes people to blow themselves up because some book says its AWWWWWWWRIGHT. respect a guy's decision to not want to associate himself with the huge hypocritical institution that is religion.</p>
<p>be a little more open-minded</p>
<p>I never said I did not respect their decision. I said I would never date them. </p>
<p>But if you are talking about respecting, then why would you insult the religion I believe in and then pressure me to be more "open minded"?</p>
<p>Isn't that just what you are so against? People trying to force others into their beliefs? I believe in my faith and I love it- it makes me so happy. </p>
<p>You just told me religion in general is hypocritical and that I should be more open minded. </p>
<p>You're doing just what you hate!</p>
<p>It's the complete equivalent of me telling you: "BE MORE CONSERVATIVE!"</p>
<p>Why tell me what to do if you don't like it when people do the same to you? I respect anyone's position but of course if I abhore their position, I wouldn't associate with said people. It makes sense. </p>
<p>Think about it: If we were in the same campus and classes, do you think we'd be close friends? I'd tell you something like: "Church was awesome today." And you'd probably laugh. So would you like me? Probably not. You think I'm been brainwashed. Would I like you? Probably not. So then, if we couldn't even be friends across this difference, why would I want to date someone with the same position? It wouldn't work out. </p>
<p>And remember, you telling me "Religion is hypocritical. Be more open minded" is the equivalent of me telling you: "Homosexuality is completely immoral. Be more conservative." You have no right to tell me that just like I have no right either. But we do have a right when it comes to deciding whether to be friends or not. It's not about respect, it's about compatability.</p>
<p>I must say, being a Christian conservative, that I think Met Deth is being reasonable, and her argument is one that comes up quite often within the context of "tolerance and intolerance." As a Christian, most people (I do realize that I'm being general here) will assume that I "hate gay people." This could not be furthur from the truth. God loves homosexuals just as much as he loves me, and thus I am called to love them in a Christian way as well. I don;t have to support their lifestyle, but I am called to to love them regardless. </p>
<p>Secondly, it does seem to me these days that liberals tend to preach open-mindedness, yet they refuse to accept Christianity as legitimate. Christians can be ripped to shreds all day long by the media, and nobody will think twice. However, the second that I say that I don;t support the Muslim belief system, I am suddenly called narrow-minded. I don't see any level of fairness in this.</p>
<p>Lastly, I will admit that some Christians have it all wrong. They preach at someone's face blatantly and judge them before they are allowed to speak on their own behalf. This is exactly the opposite of what Jesus taught in the Bible. He lived with and talked to the lowest members of society and became like them so that they might listen. This is what I and all other Christians should continually strive to do.</p>
<p>Ok there is my 2 cents worth. Say what you will.</p>
<p>the reason christians are ripped to shreds and that agnostics and atheists aren't is because agnostics and atheists are "against" (for lack of a better word) all organized religions.</p>
<p>christians say that their religion is better than other religions, but don't have much to back it up with. </p>
<p>and, you know, i never really forced any belief system on you. i didn't tell you to stop believing in God, i didn't tell you to believe anything. i stated my opinion and told you to open your mind.</p>
<p>it seems to me that you've completely written off anyone who would try to argue your religious viewpoints as someone you just don't want to talk to. i'm sorry, but avoiding the action of actually defending yourself in order to make a friendship or relationship work is not how developments are made.</p>
<p>you're willing to stay in your own pool of religiously faithful people and never get to know wonderful people who just might not believe what you believe. that's fine with me, more power to you.</p>
<p>but we're getting wayyyy off topic.</p>
<p>and i'm not trying to be malicious or anything, sorry if i offended anyone.</p>
<p>1= nice
2= not conservative,republican...i hate hearing pro-life, pro-war,anti single sex marriages and nogun control b/c i believe women should have the choice to chose...the war should end and i believe if a gay/lesbian couple loves eachother as much as a male/female married couple does...i believe the gay/lesbian couple should have every chance to get married..and gun control OBVIOUSLY SHOULD HAPPEN!!! Conservative's what r they thinking w/ these thoughtS?????

11: can withstand my Law and order trio obsession</p>
<p>well, i mainly look for someone i could be good friends with.</p>
<ol>
<li> someone who has similar (not exactly the same - that's boring) interests - it's a lot of fun when you have polar opinions on a topic, such as gun control, euthanasia, etc - then you get to debate your little hearts out.</li>
<li> someone who is confident and intelligent - wit is such a turn-on.</li>
<li> someone who makes me want to try new things/take a chance - not like risk my life or do drugs, but do things i would not normally think of doing, like paint balling or something. just someone who will encourage me to experience as much as possible in my life. also, on that note, someone who wants to try things that interest me...like taking a dancing class together or something.</li>
<li> someone who is a little boy at heart, can goof off, but knows when to stop. who acts mature around you and when he needs to be - someone who is overly serious is a bore.</li>
<li> someone you can just hang out with...hardly doing anything but still have fun.</li>
<li> someone i can trust - this is major - i should have placed it at number one.</li>
<li> someone who calls/emails/IMs/etc. me - i don't want to be the only one showing interest.</li>
<li> someone who's honest and admits that are flawed - don't expect people to be perfect either and can forgive.</li>
<li> someone who is a gentleman - offers up his seat at a party when there are none left, escorts you to your car/door/etc, "ladies first" mentality - but only offer - don't insist. that strips us of our independence. if the girl's shy and declines the chivalry, insist a bit (but make it more of a playful insist).</li>
<li> someone who questions me about my core beliefs - not to prove i'm wrong, but to better understand me.</li>
</ol>
