what do girls find attractive in boys? and what do boys find attractive in girls?
i mean aside from the physical aspect. what is it about someone that makes you want to go out with them?
[and no horribly trite, meaningless, dawsons creek stylee answers please]
Wow, i can't believe i was this shallow less than a year ago, trust me, that chris is gone and in his place is a chris/vic who would like nothing more than to settle down with a lovely girl who will help him spend his vast amounts of cash.
Any takers?

hey chris - we're perfect for each other

and hair. nice hair is something only girls can have.
but personality is obviously very important. people you can relate to, laugh with, count on and hope for.
i think that narrowly avoided the dawson's triteness.

I think your all missing the importance of tits

Physically: I'd have to say smile and eyes too. Big ones both counts.
Mentally: They'd have to get at least 50% of all jokes told be me. They have to be able to make me laugh. They have to be able to take the piss out of themselves and not be scared to take it out of me.
Personally I cant see how girls can find boys attractive. Blokes are all hairy and weathered. Nah if I were a bird I'd be a lesbian.
Oh and my women need loose morals ;)

cal, 10:56, 19th August 2002:
i don't get that either. girls are soft and curvey and nice. boys are sharp and rough and nasty. i can't see the appeal.

ok. a friend of mine asked.. how do you tell if a girl likes you? so that question and the other side.. how do you tell if a boy likes you?

i have a simple rule of thumb for determining whether a girl likes me: they don't

not wanting to be specific.
oh and guys who have names that make them sound like 70s new york cops are pretty cool too....

Those were the days!
I don't think that looks are such a big thing, but you have to have some kind of physical attraction to be able to be with each other.
Personality wise, I like some intelligent, someone that can make me laugh, and someone that doesn't nag (remind me again what i'm doing with my partner? heh - only kidding, I love her really).
Sometimes you just find the one, and you just... know.

well, i've found one, and she seems to be the best on the planet, so i'll describe her:
Good looking
Good sense of humour
Nice eyes
christian
ability to make fun of me, and handle what i dish out
capable of intelligent conversation
crazy about me
...and think that about sums it up...

one question, wtf does religion have to do with it!
if you like some1 what shouid it matter if they worship the god zorg or the god bob!
ps being crazy about some1 doesnt really matter to every1 either, some girls go for the real cruel i dont give a fuck guys, and some guys go for the real im to selfabosrobed in myself girls, fuck knows why but they do!

simple as that.

plindoe: i can't understand people like that either
reitsma: if religion is a prerequesite then you're closing yourself off too a lot of people - do you only talk to people of the same religion?
Religion is a factor, ever been out with a catholic?

I am :)
Are you a practicing catholic or were you just born that way?

your "religion" news iem
Posted by
chris, 10:19, 20th August 2002:
indeed.
I believe the point is lost behind war and greed.
Ive just read the religion discussion, It is obvious to me that cal has dumbed down Iamcal since those days
Posted by

but yeah, far more people would like to play games than talk about the (non) existance of god
Posted by
plindoe, 12:19, 20th August 2002:
anyway back to the topic:
girls (as in young women) like boys if they have a big dick, are rich, look good, are popular, have been with all their friends, dont want to be left behind in the getting laid stakes, coz their friends tell them to, and all other shite!
(and liekwise the other way round, except for the big dick part obviously)
it is only when people grow up and mature a little that people like each other for who they are (although not always as there are still shallow people out there, although i suppose if Britney/persons idol/etc offerd herself/himself to some1 they aint gonna turn her/him down) not for what they can get out of them!
and i reiterate religion sucks, it was a bunch of pissed blokes thousands of years ago who made it all sown the pub, to wind people up years down the line, i mean come on - you seen God recently???
didnt think so!
Posted by
cal, 12:31, 20th August 2002:
wise words indeed. but not everyone is
that shallow
I am as shallow as a damp pavement
Let me see ....
What I like in boys .... they have to be able to make me laugh, not be possessive, and love me as I love them. They have to be respectful, caring, and very affectionate.
Looks do not always count, I tend to go more on personality.
When I like a boy I get very playful and tease them a little.
Posted by
cal, 13:16, 20th August 2002:
welcome back you
Posted by
jeff, 14:26, 20th August 2002:
ah finally a girls perspective!
I like my boys to be a bit of a challenge, but not necessarily a bastard type.
they have to have interests of their own, opinions of their own, good taste in music, films, books (by good, i dont neccesarily mean my taste..).
and they have to be damn patient to put up with my mood swings.. or be able to leave me alone when i'm pissed off.
i'd rather they werent religious, but as long as they didnt so much as try to inflict their beliefs on me, i guess i wouldnt mind.
having a religion, something to believe in is fine, its how a lot of people get through life, its just when people become intolerant of other peoples beliefs, or shove their own in other peoples faces.
my friend gets annoyed with people slagging off and misinterpreting satanism (which ISNT worshipping satan by the way) yet takes joy in telling christians that christianity is the single largest cause of world war throughout history.
arent people great?
Posted by
cal, 14:29, 20th August 2002:
the single largest cause of world war in the history of the world is people
The single largest cause of world war throughout history is in fact money, religion is just a cover

Quote "What I like in boys .... they have to be able to make me laugh..."
Sigh...
All the girls seem to rate the humour thing very highly, over physical appearence. Which should be great for me.
So why does it rarely work out that way. I guess I am saying that if a woman has a choice between:
a) Mr Handsome Man with the sense of humour of a small damp slice of lemon and
b) me, with my kind caring nature, rapier-like wit, and good humoured japes, they tend to go for Mr Handsome Man. Oh well...

I've meet someone who is just like you and I love him, but since I just got out of a 9 year relationship, I think I will wait awhile before jumping in.

im 24 from iran.i like to sex with you.bye
in keeping with Chays point earlier, why do an awful lot of women (obiously none of the female iamcal colective) spend their formative and agonisingly attractive teen years dating assholes and complaining to me about it.
N.B. not just complaining, but actively saying, i wish I could go out with someone like you, you'd make such a great boyfriend.
"b) me, with my kind caring nature, rapier-like wit, and good humoured japes, they tend to go for Mr Handsome Man. Oh well..."

does plindoe actually think women like guys who've "been with all their mates."
I think a fundamental dichotomy here -- men are always obsessed with a woman's past (the sloppy seconds argument) whereas women - except plindoe of course - don't seem too bothered at all.
Surely she's the exception?
Although plindoe definitely has a great ass, i'm not sure he actually qualifies as a woman.

Well.. I think most of you are 100 years older than me :), but what I find attractive in girls is a nice face and body, intelligence, and the way they dress.
People and girls always tell me I'm good looking and everything, and girls always like to sit beside me and tease me and stuff, but I rarely ever go out with anyone cause they don't meet those needs, and girls always tell me I'm too smart and proper and shiet.. cause I'm an A student and don't like to act like numerous jackasses who get shit grades and lots of pussy.. but will end up as garbage men. ( yeh I'm still in high school :) )
Its really confusing what people really like in the opposite sex, I think that people just "click" as said earlier.. so far noone really clicked for me :/
