Intelligent, particularly computer geek-boys (heehee :D like my bf)

(i know this sounds shallow, sometimes hairstyles make a lot of difference to whether i find the person physically attractive or not)

Generally, I like them dark, but I'm willing to make exceptions. My man has to be respectful towards women, and quite honestly, of the same general political persuasion as me. A relationship (because I'm not talking about one night stands here) would not last with me if the person was ultra-conservative and/or seriously religious. No stereotypical images of handsome...for me, there is not formula to good looks, although good teeth is a must. Someone I can be weird (myself) with. Willing to live in the country, because I won't compromise on that one.

Luckily, I got all that:).

What do girls think about beer belly? Or abit of a tummy? Or is a solid 6 pecks a must?

What about a third nipple? Is that in your 'okay' list?

Oh.. And is a guy having a ego good or a bad thing?

I'm much more interested with whats on the inside rather that the outside.

Ideally, tight abs would be great. However, we need to be a bit flexible, because face it, gravity works on us all eventually. I don't mind a bit of a tummy as long as

a) the person doesn't obsess about it (do I look fat? I'm so fat. Eww, I hate my belly)

b) the person doesn't ever plan to keep it under control (What? So what if I can't find my gentitals later?)

Oddities such as third nipples, blotchy skin, moles or whatever...not a big deal if you love the person, and if either of you really can't live with it, surgery is always an option. However, there are no 'oddities' I can think of that would prevent me from loving someone.

i have a thing for geeks, i like guys to be fairly intelligent, funny (very important, i fell for a guy once simply for making me laugh), sweet, a gentleman, i think it's really important for a guy to have good manners, looks wise i prefer them to be short with being so short myself, and i'm not all that into big muscles and 6packs, don't get me wrong I do like it but i prefer a bit of tubbiness, i think it's cute, but looks aren't all that important (especially if they can amke me laugh) I always get asked out by jerks though :(

the stomach thing is crap. besides, most guys thathve one, lose it a few years into the marriage. and a third nipple? where, on your head??? who cares?tattoo over it. ego, as long as its not as bigger than life, is fine. no chick wants a guy who whines about himslef constantly.

Of course there has to be some physical attraction, but you can't qualify what 'everyone' is going to find attractive.

Advice please ..

What can I do?

I'm way to shy to ask a girl out, let alone maintain eye contact, and i'm rather insecure about how I look ..

Can anyone suggest anything?

Guys who seem really (for lack of a better word) dumb don't do it for me. Immaturity is also a turn off. I've always liked older guys because of that (though it doesn't guarantee maturity, it's more likely). Jerks, no matter how 'good looking' are just plain ugly in my books. Homophobes, sexists, racists and bigots all fall into that category. Plus, overly aggressive types who feel the need to fight all the time. Addicts. Yuck. People with really low self-esteem...not attractive. People with too much self-esteem. Ditto.

Suck it up and just do it. Seriously. If I think about the opportunities I missed because I didn't think someone would be attracted to me...finding out later that they were, and too chicken to ask ME out...MAN!!!! A lot of my fantasizing would have become real. :(

I mean i'll see a girl in the street, or a girl at college (or high-school in the u.s, so there is no confusion), and I just cant do anything.

I mean, I'm friends with plenty of girls, but I just dont have the courage to ever ask one out.

I've seen you and you are very handsome. If youre shy, day time dates seem to work out best. For some reason, the night time "dinner and a movie" scenario makes people more nervous than usual. So opt for a theme park, the zoo, a picnic. ....something like that

here is bit of advice from your dear occidio, read my sig first, so you dont swallow your tongue.

BY ADMITTING YOU ARE SHY, IT MUST NOT BE THAT BAD OF A PROBLEM!!! IF YOU WERE SHY TO A FAULT,YOU WOULD HAVE NO IDEA OF THE CONDITION. BESIDES, MANY GIRLS LIKE SHY GUYS. AND INSECURE HOW YOU LOOK? ARE YOU JOKING? UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FACE OF A ANIMAL, SEWN ONTO A HUMAN BODY, YOU ARE ATTRACTIVE. READ THE THREAD. LOOKS ARE NOT NUMBER ONE IN MOST QUALITY GIRLS' BOOKS. AND MAKE A DUMB JOKE. CHICKS LIKE THAT. JUST ASK A GIRL TO HANG OUT, GO FOR COFFEE, ETC. FIND OUT WHAT SHE IS INTERESTED IN, AND PREPARE A LIST OF QUESTIONS SO YOU CAN KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING. AND GET OVER ALL OF THIS CRAP. IF YOU DONT, NEXT THING YOU KNOW, YOU WILL 478, DRINKING A 12 PACK OF BEER A DAY, AND TELLING YOUR HUSKY NAMED SMOKY THAT YOU WISHED YOU HAD DONE MORE IN LIFE.

Yeah, you're probably right, but the problem is mustering up the courage to ask a girl in the first place ..

One last thing. I'm just not attracted to guys who aren't attracted to me. Being attracted to me does not guarantee reciprocity, but total lack of interest is like a cold shower. Moving on.

OR a guy who is attracted to you...but also obviously to many other women, and not particularly interested in who he goes home with? Also like a cold shower.

Don't ask them out. Just say "hey, I'm going to the movies on Friday. Wanna' come?"

See? You already have something to do, it's not like it depends on her whether you do something or not, you just want to know if she'd want to go.

And if she says no don't take it personally, maybe she really can't.

ask mine, it works that kick in the nuts is as close as a lot of guys will get to getting laid if they keep up that "i cant ask girls out" stuff. the best guys, as any respectable woman will tell you, are the ones with thier mouths closed, walkking riiight past you on the street. they are also the lonliest.

I'm a shy guy too, and my advice (for what it's worth) is, keep thinking about it. Over and over. At the end, you'll be so worked up and annoyed at yourself for not asking, that something will click, and suddenly you'll be determined to do it. And once you get there, believe me, you won't back down - but you have to do it soon after that. Fix yourself a precise day (one on which the circumstances may be helpful); that'll help.

*shrugs* Anyway, that's enabled me to get over my shyness once or twice...

My man has to be respectful towards women, and quite honestly, of the same general political persuasion as me.
I find this weird. I recently saw the film Melinda and Melinda. It's set in New York. In it, there's this guy who is meeting this woman who, he has previously heard, is a devout conservative Republican. She's actually quite sexual and just before they leave the club to go to the guy's apartment for sex, he says "I hope you don't mind, but I'm a liberal." It doesn't matter what happens after this (incidentally she doesn't care, claiming to be a "radical" in the bedroom), but I found it strange that people couldn't separate their politics from the obviously much more important matter of getting sex/love.

Well, we all have our hang ups. I would never see anyone long term who wasn't at least open to my political/religious beliefs, unless I thought they might become more open-minded the longer I was with them. I need someone open-minded. I'm crazy and opinionated and kinky and all kindsa things. ;)

In my case it's because politics colour so much of what I do, and if my partner did not agree with me, even if they 'let it go' it could eventually become a real problem. For example. I have strong views on gender roles...I'm against forcing them on children, and if my husband was very pro-gender role and wanted his girls to behave like girls and his boys like boys, we'd have problems. I'm very feminist. I wouldn't take any sexist shit. I could not live with someone who was racist, or sexist or religiously extreme (all of which to me are also political viewpoints). Sure, we could shag like crazy, but lasting relationship? No.

Not to say we have to believe exactly the same things. There are things my husband believes that I let pass, and visa versa, but overall, our general philosophy of life, the universe and everthing, is fairly similar. It helps, since we're going in the same direction in life.

-Someone who makes me laugh, who I can have a good time with and who I feel relaxed around.
-Someone who is supportive and can put up with me being depressive.
-Someone who shares at least a few interests.
-Someone who's fairly intelligent and mature with a decent taste in music (preferable but not essential).
-Someone who I'm attracted to be it their personality, intelligence or looks that attracts me.
-Someone with a slight mystery to them; a hidden side (not a requirement but it always intrigues me).
-Someone open-minded. Preferably someone with similar basic views (ie generally liberal).
-Someone who I can trust and who will trust me.
-Someone who cares about me and treats me well.
-Someone who isn't possessive and will let me be my own person.
-Someone who loves me for me.

Occido, you missed the thing that is most important to me: intelligence.

Yes, I value warmth, a good sense of humour, strength of character, and other things like that, but intelligence is numero uno in my book.

Not that I rank men by their IQs or anything, but if I can't have a decent discussion with them, it's 'forget about it' time.

So, in the best order I can:

intelligence, warmth, sense of humour, strength of character, at least some similar interests...um...physical strength and physical attractiveness are somewhere in the middle. I prefer guys who are stronger than me physically, but at the same time, I have grown accustomed to being the person who opens the pickle jars at home, so it's not that big a deal. A person's financial situation and the personal possessions or the way they dress mean very little to me.

Advice please ..

What can I do?

I'm way to shy to ask a girl out, let alone maintain eye contact, and i'm rather insecure about how I look ..

Can anyone suggest anything?

(sorry, it's a bit off-topic I guess)
Hey how old are you? I'm guessing around 14-16, don't worry there's no need to rush things. Here's a quick guide:

1. talking: be funny. I know you've heard this before, so I'll elaborate. by "funny" I mean irreverent and offensive. don't be afraid to say something because you think they might be "offended". they won't be. also don't be afraid to make some initial spontaneous physical contact.

2. casually ask her out if you are getting along well. as Peechland said, a daytime engagement might suit you better if you feel nervous.

3. if you've asked her out and she said yes you will naturally be exhanging numbers. if you have not asked her out yet, ask her for her number anyway.


here is bit of advice from your dear occidio, read my sig first, so you dont swallow your tongue.

BY ADMITTING YOU ARE SHY, IT MUST NOT BE THAT BAD OF A PROBLEM!!! .........IF YOU DONT, NEXT THING YOU KNOW, YOU WILL 478, DRINKING A 12 PACK OF BEER A DAY, AND TELLING YOUR HUSKY NAMED SMOKY THAT YOU WISHED YOU HAD DONE MORE IN LIFE.
that kick in the nuts is as close as a lot of guys will get to getting laid if they keep up that.
YOU CANT BRING YOURSLF TO DO IT??? GO ON THE NET LOOK AT PICS OF SCANTILY CLAD GIRLS. IN FACT, LOOK AT PICTURES OF WOMENS GENITALS. DONT YOU WANT SOME OF THAT??? OF COURSE YOU DO. SO TALK TO THE BROADS, OR IT WILL REMAIN A WEB PAGE, AND A MASTURBATION FANTASY FOREVER.
:D
Occidio, I have decided that you are the best poster here!

guys like you really bug me! you're just the kind of a guy i would want to go out with but your all shy and stuff and get way too nervous about asking girls out so they have to put up with the arrogant jerks that think they're god's gift to women! and you look great!
Tink, did it ever occur to you to ask those good lookin' shy guys out yourself? You know, if they're too nervous, you've got to do it. And I doubt they would say no, because
a) they're male
b) you seem to be attractive

The only problem that a few more closed-minded among them might have is that you might appear to be "slutty" (totally wrong, but a confused minority of guys think like this). So don't come on too strong.

Looks at Occ's pic on the NS Player Pic Thread ........ :D

my preferences in no particular order
take an interest in politics and have similar views to me but some we can bicker about


Well, I definitely take an interest in politics, I enjoy debating political matters, and I have strongly defined beliefs of my own. But I don't know what your views are.


good sense of humour


I've been told I have, though I don't really see myself as funny. ;)


tallER than me - be it by an inch or a mile! (obviously a mile would be slightly impracticle)


I'm 1m86, so the odds are I'm taller than you.


like reading and talking about books


Yes.


not be too fussed about having lots of money


*nods*


sociable


Ah, well, that's where it no longer works... I'm not sociable at all. I would be if I could, but I'm just not. Its partly because I'm shy, and partly because I often just feel more comfortable when I'm alone, for some reason...


like their food and appreciate good cooking


Doesn't really work here either... I tend to cook simple (but healthy) meals for myself. Also, I'm a vegetarian, which automatically excludes a lot of things.


too much to ask? lmflo

Maybe it was the hick community I grew up in, but many of the young men I met were either relatively unintelligent or deliberately down-played their intelligence. Only one guy I went through grade school with - ONE - showed any real signs of smarts. Except for him, all of the smart kids were girls. And unsurprisingly, he's the only one with any kind of life now, despite his choosing not to go to post-secondary. He's a farmer now with a wonderful wife and kids and has made choices in life that were good for him and his family. The rest of the men? Ugh. In and out of jail, many druggies and alcoholics, some have disappeared, others can't hold a job, others have kids (with multiple women) that neither parent chose to raise, so they're being raised by grandparents.

Going back there is like walking into the worst kind of soap opera. It's so hard to believe what great kids most of those guys used to be.

The trick is to be "warm, kind, caring" without being "possessive and smothering". And to be "artistic and creative" without being "an insufferable pissant".

I'm 44, and I've only recently got it down, at least to the satisfaction of one woman. I'm sure I'd still piss off the majority of women in one way or another.

I suspect that her unwillingness to ask a guy out is out of shyness, nothing to do with tradition. If she wants to be traditional she should be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

I think if you're as clear with your feelings in RL as you are on this forum then you should have no problem getting even shy guys to ask you out. Guys are afraid of rejection. If you make it clear to them they won't be rejected and they're into you, they'll ask.

I just think it's funny that the best reason you could come up with for having a woman is she can cook and games can't. How about a game can't love you, make love to you, rub your back, bring you soup when you're sick?

DISCLAIMER: No, I don't expect women to do all of these things without receiving the same or similar treatment.

warm, kind , caring
Duh. Most everyone chose this, it was about 80% when I voted. And I'm one of those girls who actually holds to it, too, instead of putting it down on paper then going off with the next asshole.

outgoing, confident, slightly egomaniacal
In moderation, these are a plus. However they're not necessities to me, and taken to the extreme are just annoying - so I didn't select it.

quiet and shy
A lot of the guys I like are like this, but it's not essential.

class clown
Omigod. I LOVE the class clowns. Humor is one of the greatest things in life, in my opinion, and I want to share it with my significant other.

very political, outspoken, shares views
This gains major brownie points. Even though I'll go out with guys who aren't, I selected it because political involvement is one of my major principles and it means a lot for my SO to share that.

must be a lot like you
I hate to say it, but yes. They do. A lot of these traits that I'm commenting on are reflecting myself. And if you're a conservative Republican Mormon, I don't care how lovable and hot you are... it just ain't gonna work for me. I have to be able to relate.

partier
Not really. I suppose class clowns can tend toward this, but in and of itself I'm indifferent to it.

artistic, creative
Haven't had much experience with this type, though theoretically I guess that would be positive.

whatever you are, then you pick the opposite
No. "Opposites attract" only works for electromagnetic charges and (in 90% of cases) what's between the legs.

Call her out on her (IMO, wrong) assertion that it's always the man's job to ask the girl out.

Well, it's not the same. And it's not like Tink is the only one who does it. Most do it, it's just that guys tend to be too dense to notice sometimes.

Huh, I think that's unfortunate. You probably miss a lot of really great opportunities by taking that approach. Being rejected sucks but not as much as regretting never having gotten to know a particular someone special. I happen to think the only "jobs" restricted to one sex or the other are those restricted by biology, e.g. birth or writing your name in a snow drift.

Well, let's not get carried away either. You see a girl you like, you ask her out. Maybe she says yes, maybe no. A girl sees a guy she likes, she flirts with him. Maybe he asks her out, maybe no (and if he does maybe she says yes, maybe no, just to see what he does).

No privileges, just how people do things.

ditto. having never actually flirted (knowingly) i'm ignorant and inexperienced - hence i don't know how to flirt. frankly, i'd feel pretty stupid if i tried.

it doesn't help that if a girl is flirting with me (yes, it has happened a couple of times) i'm either too ignorant to realise, too drunk to realise (:D), am thinking she wants something from me, or am thinking that she's taking the piss. i may well have missed opportunities as a result (i know i missed one...)

when you feel like it is impossible for others to love you, or be at least interested in you, it kinda puts a big downer on the whole flirting issue.

When a woman waits for a man to ask her out she gets to pick from the best of the men who do it. When a woman asks out a man she gets to pick the best of the men she meets. This is why women should not consider the man's duty, privelege or whatever else you want to call it.
