A question for the women in this forum - young and not-so-young-yet-still-very-influential alike; what do women look for in men?

As men, we are constantly trying to make ourselves more attractive to the opposite sex. Be it the way we act, the way we dress, etc. I've noticed how there are some major divisions in what women find attractive. There are those who like 'fit' guys, nice strong back, maybe some abs, etc. Then there are those who find skinny, rock star, emo, type of guys attractive... There are also those who don't care what their man looks like, they just want a funny guy... This gets confusing for us guys, who are single, and want to increase our probability of finding a good partner.

Lets discuss this!
 
I'm not into guys but you've pretty much answered your own question there. - Different women will like different guys the same way us guys like different women. Everyone's gonna have differnt opinions. Perhaps this thread title should be changed to - What do you look for in the opposite sex? Just an idea.

He's right. All women think differently.

I have noticed an increase in that whole skinny, mal-nourished emo look in teenage/young 20's guys. It's one thing to be slim, but these guys seem to try to look crack-head skinny. It's gross, and they look like total wimps to me.

My dh is not a huge guy, but is strong and well built. As I've said before, my personal preference is a manly type of man. Not just in size, but in ability and behavior. A man who can build/fix/work on something, then can "clean up pretty" (look and dress nice) when he's done. :p
 
I have to agree all, woman look for different qualities. Although one of the most important things is a guy who takes care of himself. I don't think a woman wants to date a couch potatoe who likes to drink beer and each cheetos all day. Get out there and do something!! Nothing is sexier than a guy who is motivated.
 
What I, Karky, look for in a man:
Evo
:D

All joking aside, i agree with the above, everyones different. Alot of guys try to adapt to something that they think a woman wants more. That rarly works out, because its hard to change, and if you change for one woman, then you suddenly notice that the next woman is looking for something more like theone you were BEFORE you changed, so you change back.. and it goes on like this, and your screwed.

I used to care about looks a lot but I find myself caring less and less. I'm not saying that looks don't matter at all, but personality and having things in common matter a lot more. One thing that I am kindof bad with is height. He has to be at least as tall as me. I don't like it when a guy is shorter than me :eek:

Oh and being overweight. I'm sorry but I would rather have too skinny than have a guy that has a gut. Yuck. I can't see past that.

One major turn off as far as attitude goes is a guy who cares too much about what he looks like. It's not like I want to be with some dirty slob but I find it annoying when a guy is contantly fixing his hair or looking in the mirror. I don't preen myself much and there is no need for my guy to.

Im tall, im not overweight, im not overly fixated about my look, im not a slob.

Now we just gotta find out what we have in common ;)

Oh, and did i mention that im good lookin'? :D

Calcium, im not a girl, but i used to care more about looks before than i do now too. I think it has something to do with how you mature. Though, the way i see it, looks is the first thing you see, unless you meet someone through a friend or something like that, the first thing you will look for is someone who is good looking enough, then go and make a move on them, then you find out about personality, etc.
Not saying looks are more importaint, but maybe its like the first "battle"?
 
I like my men big and tough, like Karky. :D

Really now, I think men who are individual, can play it cool, but not scared to mess about, displayed with confidence generally get the girls. I don't know, I personally get girlfriends if I want them. Its not all fun though :(
 
alluring qualities--
physically: kind eyes; nice, genuine smile; good hygiene
otherwise: someone who cares about his health; furthers himself; is honest, mature, fun-loving; physically active; intelligent; kind; compassionate; able to converse interestingly

unappealing qualities--
physically: overly pronounced muscles, especially abs (underweight > bulky/developed); bad hygiene; shaved chest; coiffed, overly fashion-conscious look
otherwise: someone who is dishonest/macho/arrogant/mean; stagnated; drinks/smokes
 
i remember doing psycholgy a while back and this was one of the topics.
arghhh i have such a bad memory, heres some of what i can remember:

- They prefer taller men
- more musculine looking. so that means brad pit wins over leonardo dicaprio for example :)
- something about contact, the more often you see someone the more you like them
- for woman the hip and waist ratio, this would determine how successfull they would be in reproducing.

Of course overall the girls a more picky because back in the day, girls had to pick wisely as the cost for them would be 9 months of pregnacy compared to 2minutes for a man. So the woman prefered the healthy looking more musculine looking men as they had a better chance of successfully looking after their young.
 
You've got a nice back too :p

I just find that men which are fixated on their looks are also very materialistic, which I truely can't stand. I think that being so materialistic also leads to wasteful spending.

Indeed, different women, different preferences. But these are just preferences, I tend to find that attitude is just about everything. However, there's no magic formula that will make you a total chick magnet, although confidence goes a long way...I honestly think that most women don't know what they want.
 
Uhh...basically, all guys like HOT.

Matt, if some totally whored-up woman who happens to be a perfect 10 wanted to jump your bones, I'm sure you'd do it over that 7 little-miss morality, with her skirt below her thighs...
 
true and true Leiyunfat.

But what i meant was directed around a long term relationship, or the "one"
:eek: haha
