I have to say I totally agree with crimewave. Being a 'nice guy' only gets you ignored, I mean, sure enough it is easy to say "being more positive and assertive will help" but for many people that just isn't in their personality and frankly I would rather not pretend to be someone I'm not just to try and trick someone into noticing me for someone I'm not.

You say you know it for sure, well im sorry to shatter your illusions but not all girls like that. Money and cars are material things. I personally dont go for material things.
Me i like a guy for them. if i can converse with a guy and they interest me in what they say then that is a big thing. I also go for men who know what they want out of life and actively work towards achiving their dreams.
Nothing is better than a guy who has the brain and goals. they also have to have a sense of humor as i like to have a laugh and a joke.
looks are not important but there obviously has to be that spark of sexual chemistry too.
as for cars and money what a crock of poop. i could not care less. life is what you make of it. oh and it is far more romantic to go for a nice walk together than sit in a car in gridlocked traffic.

I don't actively 'look' for anything in a man, if I meet someone and I'm physically attracted to them, I'll spend the time getting to know them and will determine over the course of time whether I find them intelligent, trustworthy, funny and all that stuff I like to have in my relationships. If I don't discover the kind of traits I like, I can still have a casual relationship, since the physical attraction is there. I'll just roll my eyes at the dumb things they say.

This isn't to say that I don't take the time to get to know people I'm not physically attracted to, just that if there's not a physical spark, nothing romantic is going to happen.

is this then not the same? some one with the dream to make something of themselves to make there lives finacilay secure ( money) which in turn leads to a decent way of life ( nice car, nice home ).
maybe i have you wrong but it seems to me you have the same dreams as we all do , but have a better way of putting it lol Very Happy .

No its not the same at all, activley working towards your dreams could be anything wever it be to be a good father or doing a collage course to get into a feild they want to be in. i am not a material person. cars and money dont bother me at all. put it this way before i had my son i was in a management role earning a concidrable amount of money. i could well have gone and got myself a nice car or gone traveling but no. i chose to help out familly who needed it more than i, also i gave it all up to have my son and live £70 a week to support the both me and my son and pay bills. and you know what even tho i dont have money i am happier than i have ever been in my life. so the answer to your question is no it is entierly different. having hopes and dreams is what you want to do with your life in the future not working towards a spiffy car. yes some people dream of that and all fair play to them but thats not what i look for. its all to do with confidence and ambision.
So are you sugesting that anyone who wants to make something of their lives autimaticly wants nice cars and homes?
well i hope to go back to college once karl is in school and continue the phsycology course and hopefully get into the profession. Not to get the fast cars and nice houses because i wouldn't im quite hapy with my flat and renult 5 that never gets driven because im a walking person.
I want to do it so i can help people. not everyones dreams are to get a nice car and money.
Infact if i am honest it is something that turns me off about a guy when they drive around in the beemers and acting as though women should flock to them. its all a persona to hide the fact they have no testicals.

See, at least OttawaGirl is honest - women go for looks first, and who cares if they're a nice guy or not!!

So any good-looking guys will have got what they wanted before she's even found out whether they're stupid, or treat her badly. Any nice guys who aren't particularly good looking will never have a chance.

Personally I've found that girls only start to *actually* look for GSOH, intelligence and treating them right after they've been through a series of good-looking arseholes first, or have had children.

I can't remember who I heard make a good point - women say they're after sense of humour and intelligence rather than looks, but how many do you think have a poster of Eddie Izzard on their wall compared to David Beckham who only has looks and money?

Right - I freely admit that I'm young and that my view on men and relationships is likely to change many times over.

But I'd like to make the point that I don't go around bitching about how men treat me badly, or how I can't find any nice guys. Far from it. It's my fault if I let someone treat me badly, and I take full responsibility for that.

I do feel like a physical spark is quite important though. I find a wide variety of men attractive though, and don't limit myself to one 'type'.

girls/women, they look for guys with alpha male characteristics, that is what they have been genetically modified to do, through an evolutionery process, all this geniune, caring, honest nice guy stuff, is what they SAY they want but not what they REALLY want, so guys remember this, and girls deep down you know its true.

all my life i have gone out with all different types of men-short, heavy, wild, nice, crazy-i have talked to men on the net for hours and days without seeing there picture and have gotten that spark just from our talks and then met them or seen them and still have that spark--sure if i see some greatlooking guy that sexual spark is there but for me its not the looks--maybe you guys and girls are trying to find the mate with all qualities, which is extremely hard to find----
Your Crazy American thats trying to find that one also, Aluria

Women? From experience, Women only want 1 thing, a guy's head they can screw up, and then once that guy ends up in a mental institute, they jump towards their next prey. The process then repeats and continues.. to be quite honest.

Same could be said for men doing it to women. i have had my fair share of guys trying to screw with my head.

I think there is no one definitive answer as each woman is a unique personality and looking for or wanting something different. I want a man who is intelligent, well educated, a person with a sense of morality, faithful to me, good career prospects, fun to be with and creative when it comes to dating. I would not marry solely for money, as I believe any partnership I entered into would generate money, heck Im only 18 and already doing quite well in that area lol. Jayne
