<p>1)is enjoyable to be around-- makes me feel good about myself and is fun to hang out with
2)they have to be able to hold a decent conversation without looking away and saying "alright, I can see how you could think that"
3)makes me feel completely at ease
4)enjoys at least one similar activity so we have soemthing to talk about that we can both relate to-- reading, intellectualism, skiing, photography, etc.
5)down to earth
6)isn't completely unheigenic and wears clothing (of any variety is fine)
7)is able to move without my help (isn't too large to function)</p>
<p>yeah, I consider personality to be crucial-- I honestly don't care if the person is good looking or not, out of shape or not, so long as they are engaging in their speech and actions and are able to function on a daily basis they meet the criteria.</p>
<p>and no, I am not a mom, and no, I am not old. There are actually college girls out there who couldn't care less what you wear or what you look like.</p>
<p>I think the guys have unusually high expectations of girls as well-- it's all too often the type of guy I described is hopelessly attracted to the best looking airhead in the school... just a stereotype for the shallow one to be the female.</p>
<p>well i have my lists of what i look for in the perfect guy (basically the all-around golden boy) just like every other girl
however, i always end up falling for the completelyyy wrong ones
i think this is a common problem</p>
<p>basically what i'm saying is that girls may say/think that they want one thing, but nobody can control their feelings. i really don't think most girls, or guys for that matter, meet a potential mate and run down their list of criteria and then aha! decide that they will begin to like this person.</p>
<p>I'm a guy, but I'd just like to point out that proximity and compatibility, and comfort, usually rule out all other things girls look for in guys and vice versa. Seriously, if a girl sits next to you in all your classes, or there's other situations where you're nearly always with a member of the opposite sex, the chances of you becoming more familiar with that person, is much more likely than if you picked out someone who has the traits you desire. You would feel more comfortable around that person you're with all the time instead of someone you don't even really know. That just explains why most of the time girls end up with guys who may not be classified as (ideal) anad vice versa. And those relationships are probably even more genuine than many that are formed off of these 'lists of traits' since they were purely unintentional, and you wouldn't have 'expectations' that could potentially ruin the relationship.</p>
<p>I know that I personally don't know what a girl looks for in a guy... somehow I fell in love with my best friends brother... it is kinda weird...I first met him when I was in 8th grade... and he was being a jerk... but that is when I started liking him... His sister got kinda mad... but after about a year of us dating she got used to it.... he is the only boy in his family so it kinda sucks for him because he live with 3 chicks... who fight and scream constantly... but he deals with them... one of his sisters is my bff... and the other sister is my big sisters bff...</p>

<p>You do realize I was responding to a girl about who she wasn't going to date, don't you? Ignore the context if you want, it gives us the right to laugh at you.</p>
