But then I assume someone who is smart and loyal will be kind to me?

[Someone Else]

Other than perhaps pHantom, who is really "objectifying" women here? The thing is, if you're going to spend a lot of time with someone you might as well find them physically attractive.

And trust me, even if we are in the "wrong" to you, there's guys waaaay worse than us. Trust me.

[Toasty]

Very true.

Why do I feel I'm are fighting for at an one-sided argument here?

Here is my point, players = bad. nice guy = good.

Mine choice of a guy would be a nice quite and reasonable guy that is smart with an average body. I don't like guys who are flamboyant and loud. Girls like guys who is on the quite side hand is sweet and treats the girl like a person not a thing.

By the way you are all talking, you are talking as if girls are just everyday common objects then a person. I am quite complied to say that girls are not just something you guys can screw around with. I'm quite ashamed to know that is what you all think girls are, just an everyday object. By the way you guys are going, I doubt you are going to get a decent girlfriend any time soon.

Well I don't consider anyone an object, and especially not someone I'm interested in. I'm more of the kind of guy who would arrive to pick a girl up for a date with flowers or candy or both every time. Unless she said otherwise of course. But, I've also only interested been interested in one person, and though she's not exactly a toothpick, she's thin.

And I couldn't be a player even if I tried. ;)

[pHantOm]

I'm not objectifying, but I wont sit here and say a bunch of BS about how girls are never materialistic or shallow. Girls are just as bad as guys when it comes to judging a book by its cover.

I wont date an ugly girl, why would I? I doubt any girl here would wanna date an butt ugly guy, no matter his personality. You can find those good qualities in a more attractive man. Pointless arguement.

The girls posting here are more of the shy side I assume, their more laid back etc. I mean come on this is a video game forum. I doubt any girl here would be a snobby dumb ass bimbo, and comparing a girl here to that is like comparing apples to oranges.

I like trustworthy women who know what they want with some sex appeal, but doesn't depend on that for attention. Sex can make or break a relationship as an adult, most of you don't understand that yet but you will soon. Its not the sex or how hardcore it is *lol* its the connection between you and that person.

I'm waiting to get flamed by the girls here for that, but its expected. You're raised to think sex is dirty and to not do it till marriage. If thats your feelings on it then more power to you.

[Aquamarine]

Excellently said pHantOm, all you've said is true and I completely agree with you. Really.

[Caael]

Phantom's right. I wouldn't date an ugly girl just because she's got personality. If she's ugly, she's ugly.

[Eugine]

This 'argument' is confusing.

Why would anyone date someone they're not attracted to in the first place? Hence why I ignore being 'hot' as a factor... If I'm attracted to a girl, I'll look for other qualities besides 'hot' >>

I have no idea who I'm agreeing with btw...

[Quacnar]

Attraction is not necessarily looks. You could be interested in someone at first glance and then you talk to them and realize they're a complete moron. You are then no longer attracted to them.

You cant go ' ooomg u r sooooo shalow u shud be shot cuz u only liek preti girls hu are hores' because that's not what i'm saying.

Change the end to Yes? That's what I didn't think. Beauty is skin deep. Looks are a nice bonus, but you can't have a real relationship with someone unless you like them for their inside.

Yea, but you're gay, so I'm more likely to listen to you rant about girls and stereotypes then a hormone driven teenager.

[Xelina]

I guess I'm just withdrawn. :x

Anyway, I what I would look in a guy would be trust, respect, and a good sense of humor. I don't care about muscles, at long as the guy doesn't have a gut or looks malnourished or hasn't take a shower in weeks, then he is fine by my book. I also don't expect a smart guy, in fact, if he has good morals and has a college education he is good. Though since I'm Asian I do prefer Asian looking guys... >3>;

I personally dislike football guys because they are such idiots. I sat next to one in a class and man he is a complete buttface. The only words he seems to know are swearwords and his arrogance is astonishing... In another class I sat next to two guys who seems to talk nothing but who they have sex with during the whole period. It was mental scarring... and quite eye opening. Girls can get pretty down right demanding.... o3o;

Hence, I'll never date a football dude, though if a hot guy (my standard) ask me out, I would probably still reject him if I don't know him well. If I do know the guy well, I would go on a date with him then decide from there. :]

They were lying for most of them. Perhaps only two or three of those are true. Trust me.

I agree with Caael. I'm 18. However, I can only date a hot girl with a bad personality for a limited time.

Sure but the main problem to both sexes always WILL be the approaching. Even if this girl/guy's really cool, handsome, and nice and thinks the same about you you'll still have to approach her/him. And another problem is that both sexes expect the other person to take the initiative.

*Make sure you're not alone when you do this* ;)

[I'm Always BROKE]

In most of my situations that'd scare the girl of. I really like making eye contact with girls I like in the buss, I'm not all that charming while talking, but I have much more sucess while just sitting there looking for eye contact while occasionally smile at those girls too. I've truely missed GOLDEN oppertunities while doing this by not taking the initiative. >_< So I'd be really weird if I'd just went and sit next to one of these girls and ask them if they know this Ted while I don't even know them at the first place.

Goddamn I'm such a pussy.

[My Best Wishes]

Thats the whole point, 'Ted' is just your name/friends name, the person being introduced to the girl. Just be careful with your eye contact man, too long can end up being freaky. There's a thing called the 3 second rule, after making eye contact with a chick you have 3 seconds to approach her. Why 3 seconds? a) so you don't overthink it and **** it up b) any longer then 3 seconds and it starts to get wierd...

There are so many icebreakers you can use that aren't pick up lines...

Yeah I know, these periods of having eye contact aren't much longer than 3 seconds. Then I take a little 'pauze' for a few minutes and do the same thing later.

And that 3 seconds rule reminds me of the 3 day rule. It's something in the lines like, if you don't kiss a girl within 3 days no way she's ever gonna have sex with you.

Laharl, will you marry me? :3

But seriously, I know exactly what you mean. I can't date a guy if I don't have anything in common with him. I'm not concerned about looks. Take a good look at the guys I've dated. They're not amazing to look at, but I've had a few really good relationships with them (okay, so one, and he was pretty good looking, but not when we started dating) Point being, I don't want to have to obsess about looking good for someone who would ignore me elswise, and I don't want my guy to feel self concious about himself because he's afraid I'll leave him if he's not a hot stud. I want someone who will love me for who I am, and not my body.

Hardly anymore. We talk about once or twice every two weeks. If that. Times sure have changed.

Anyways, I'm really starting to scowl at the thought of a relationship. It seems so over-rated and hard to come by. When you don't have it, you want it. When you have it, you don't want it. It makes life tougher than it already is, and it's not really a necessity.

"Follow your heart!"

That's the biggest load of bull**** that I've ever heard. Take it from me: the sooner you kill your emotions, the sooner you'll be able to think clearly and actually go on living. I'm a little sick and tired of all the candy-coated cliche's like the one above. None of them are realistic or true, and they're only created so that children don't lose their youth and grow up to be depressed adults when they're 7. But then again, even depression is a state of mind caused by emotions, due to the fact that some people just can't get over the fact that life sucks.


The way I see relationships is that they suck, they're a waste of time, good for if you're bored, but if you want to get anywhere in life, you mind as well avoid them completely.

Yeah I kinda agree with Toasty and Icy. Actually, I agree a lot. I've rid myself of a lot of emotion like, years ago. Jr. High in fact. I don't want to get rid of all emotions though, nor is it possible.

No, I don't just build up emotions inside of me. I doubt that most people here do either. They just kind of don't exist.

And I agree with Icy that relationships seem extremely overrated. Though the above seems overly pessimistic and seems to come from personal bad experiences. If you ended up with jerks it might just be your own fault of your previous desperation for acceptance. No offense or any of that.

[Ravenblade]

I think that if you're in love and enjoying your relationship then emotions etc are all wonderful, but if you arent in a relationship then the above feelings are more relavent. I mean come on Icy, you and I both know you enjoyed being with certain people while the relationships were working, and its an even better feeling when you're with someone you can see everyday.

People who arent in love (especially if they never have been) always view relationships as stupid and irrational things. Which they are. They sure as hell are not overrated though. What many of you will find is that eventually, without you having looked for it, someone will come along and kick the crap out of your perception of love, life and yourself, at which point you will love the fact that you are able to feel, even for the moments when its hard.

Relationships should not be viewed as a means to gaining self satisfaction, but as an opportunity to love someone who means an awful lot to you, and to make their life as comfortable as possible.

Lecture over.

Okay, so you're older and more experienced than me. You're saying we shouldn't look but instead wait?

[Ravenblade]

Not quite, i mean go ahead and look all you like - the more experience you get, the more likely you are not to accidentally mess up the real thing. Im just saying that all the time i spent looking resulted in pointless painful relationships that only served to get me thinking like you guys. As soon as i stopped looking and focused on enjoying life i suddenly found a really amazing relationship which rewrote everything i had thought about them previously. I am now almost 2 years into that relationship and as such am no longer in the "honeymoon period". I am completely aware of all of my girlfriends flaws and do not spend all my time writing sickening lovey poetry - however, we now have the kind of bond that means i get sad when i dont see her all day just cos i miss her voice...even if its nagging me for leaving socks on the floor.

I mean, ultimately, relationships are a lot of work, and your focus has to be on giving and not receiving. If its an equal relationship you will receive your fair share anyway, without having to look for it.

If you go looking then you subconsciously lower your standards in order to achieve the result. If you just "fall" for someone, then its not because you especially wanted to, its cos they're amazing.

Either they came from a rich family (Kenedy), got to the top through scandals and lies (Clinton), were previously famous for something (Regan, most of the 19th century presidents), or were previously involved in minor politics (most all of them). Oh, do you notice a trend with all of them? They're MALES.

Guys have the advantage over women. A female CEO will NEVER be paid as much as a Male CEO. Why? It's just the way it is, and no one dares to speak about it. I dare say it's a bit easier for males to get ahead in life, especially with the flawed perception that females are to be stay at home moms, while the males are the working bread-winner father.

However, I refuse to be that woman because A.) I hate kids and I don't want a family and B.) What I want to be takes up a lot of time and dedication. A Doctor of Internal Medicine must go through 4 years to get a bachelors, take the MCAT to get into med school (another 4 years) pass all the board exams (which are hard as F*ck, my mom still has yet to pass her Step 2 USMLE), go through 3 grueling years of residency in which you get paid jack sh*t (40,000 per year, about 2,700 per month after taxes). I can't take a guy getting in the way, and by the time I'll be done, I'll be in my 30's.

Haha, wow, pulling out the personal attacks much? No matter. Actually, it's quite the opposite. If you happen to remember Bruce, WD, that was more of what you were talking about. Funny how I didn't have such a pessimistic view of love even after him. It's funny how my last real relationship was pretty great, and I have no regrets about it. Interesting how I wasn't "Desparate" for love, and I'm still not. If you knew me, you would know I don't need anyone, I'm fine on my own, self confident to the point of narcissim.

My "pessimism" just comes from all the fights and arguments I've experienced with my parents (and let me tell you, it's gotten pretty bad). My brother's divorced. My sister's engagement is falling apart. My aunt is divorced. My friends are constantly whining about their love life. I know girls getting pregnant during high school, coming to school with black and blues from their boyfriends that they just "can't live without". If none of them had ever gone and fallen in love, they would be way better off than they are now. No teenage pregnancies and no bruises.

[Quacnar]

It is unfortunate that you have seen the awful and unsuccessful relationships in life, but you cannot say, as a general statement, that love is an awful thing because peolpel you know have had bad experiences.

Attraction isnt a choice, true. But attraction isnt exactly the same as falling for someone.

You can fall for someone cos you wanted to be in a relationship - thats what a lot of failed relationships come about from.

Everyone wants acceptance. Those who say no, is lieing and probably isn't accepted...

Reality check in my life for those who are interested:

The girl who said she liked me who had a boyfriend now does not have a boyfriend. She broke up with him after realizing how much more fun I was to be around. HOWEVER, she did not cheat with me, I made sure we were only friends. THEREFORE I am still a homewrecker, but an honourable one at that.

We will be dating soon. =D

Not really. It it Catholic school, and most of the faculty were against homsexuality in my time x.x

Yeah, girls can be like that. It's kind of a way for her to feel better. Either she'll

a.) call you an idiot for not seeing why she's "amazing"
b.) just plain be a b*tch to you
c.) or get over it and move on like nothing happened.

Girls are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.

My advice? Just give the box of chocolates to the girl you like and buy some hershey kisses for yourself. Then you won't have to worry about getting a sour chocolate, and the girl you like will love you! ^^
