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.


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'.

well apart from the obvious Wink a good sense of humor and honesty.
but then again lets be honest here:it does not matter really,unless of course both are looking for the same thing......and here we are again at the starting point....HONESTY.
far to many fibbers and timewasters around. [/list]

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.

I don't have a poster of either of them Wink
To be honest, I tend to distrust men I find too good looking, I suspect them to be quite full of themselves. Not that that can't happen with guys who look less good....
I'll admit that some physical attraction has to be there for any form of romantic relationship, but I'd like to point out that not every girl is attracted to the same type of men, so beauty still lies in the eye of the beholder.
And, no, I'd never fall for a dumb guy just because he looks great. Seriously, what's the point of that?

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.
