C'mooon, looks, intelligence, humour AND personality? Thats just cheating.

Its like me offering you a choice between Maggie Thatcher and Rosie O'Donnell and you saying Megan Fox.


I'm picky :colondollar: I didn't realise you meant what single aspect is most important.

RIght I'm going to do one but still sorta cheat:

Intelligence (reasonably book smart but more importantly able to hold a conversation, be witty and understand/empathise with me)

But I do have to be attracted physically otherwise none of the rest would be considered as criteria for 'girlfriend', it would be considered as criteria for 'friend'.
Tall, thin and smart :love:

And he has to be honest and make an effort in the relationship.
Also, somebody who is kind, and we should be able to make each other laugh. :smile:

I thought it went without saying that my dad wasn't a potential romantic partner. I don't follow the "wincest" idea.

On a side note, do you not find George Clooney, an old man, attractive? Seeing as most women drool over him...

Looks? Intelligence? Kindness? Humour? ... Money? Power?

... Prowess?


Are they like my ex?
No, yes finally I am moving on, meeting someone mature and not so manipulative with my feelings and trying to change me.
Oh wait they are almost exactly like my ex but just with a fake nice exterior and less inteligent. Oh crap I have gone for the same guy AGAIN just with a different guy :frown:

I tend to go for guys that are cocky (man sluts) and clown about, nice smile, make me laugh, have deep rooted family/emotional problems and are on the rebellious side of things. I don't intentionally go for people like this but I need to find a new type (well the smile and making me laugh bits can stay).

In an ideal girlfriend:

Smart/Intelligent.... I would be very interested in this girl in a few of my classes if it wasnt for the fact she doesnt try to get good grades and can't seem to grasp basic theory... COMPLETE TURN OFF

Confident, good sense of humour
A little bit nerdy
Similar music taste
everso slightly chubby.... abit curvy is nice
wears nice clothes
Knows when to be serious and knows when its time to piss about/ share a sensitive moment


blah blah blah

He's alright. I understand why people find him attractive and objectively he is good looking, but he doesn't do much for me really.

Personality

Funny and who has a good sense of humour. Someone I can play off and joke around with. (I like guys who can make me laugh)

A bit kooky (because my flatmates tell me I'm quite a quirky person)

Into music but not snobby about it. (I play bass and write songs myself)

Someone who isn't too concerned with what others think, apart from people who matter (I like easy going people)

Sensitive and not full of **** (I don't like cocky people)

Kind of adventurous and will go new places etc

Doesn't take himself too seriously.

A bit nerdy.

Looks

A fair bit taller than me roughly about 5ft 11 is a nice height. (I'm 5ft 2 and wear heels when I go to clubs)

Brunettes or gingers. (I like curly hair but I'm not fussed)

Medium build. (Not massive muscles but not a stick)

I like guys in chinos/checked shirts/boots etc. That sort of style
