Girls name 5 things you look for in a guy.

I notice girls tend to like guys who are tall, dark and handsome. Just wanted to get an idea as to what girls really look for in a guy, basically out of interest. i suppose it's all down to preference.

Confidence, but not overly confident.

Well dressed, if a man has his jeans half way down his legs with his boxers on show I find it an immediate turn off.

Good grammar and well spoken in general.

Sense of humour.

Positivity, someone who looks on the bright side of life more often than seeing the worst in everything.
Intelligence
Good sense of humour
Enthusiasm
Good hair
Height (This one really isn't that important though).

Thoughtful
Understanding

1) height
2) confidence
3) sense of fun (ie. likes going to parties, good humour, nice group of friends, rep)
4) doesn't care what others think of him
5) not only interested in sex.

I find that number 5 is possessed by almost every guy and always the deal breaker!

Most girls truthfully just look for the D.

I personally quite like a bloke to have:
eyes
ears
nose
hair
body

I would be willing to compromise though :wink:

Need to be really funny.
Really tall.
Nice swag.
Slightly rude.
Nice eyes.


Rude!?? :L
Sense of fun/humour - but not a LAD type cocky overly confident douchebag. Someone who is good to laugh and joke with, shares the same interests as me....and is willing to cuddle in bed watching Family Guy DVDs :biggrin:
Nice eyes
Being well dressed - someone who takes a reasonable amount of care in their appearance
Being intelligent and affectionate - not only interested in sex and getting drunk. Dumb guys: eg the TOWIE/Geordie Shore type who can't even place London or Paris on a map of the world really put me off
Thoughtful/Understanding - someone who actually takes the time to listen to any problems

I know you said 5, but loyalty is also important. A boyfriend who would go out bedding other girls behind my back and not giving a **** about truly being in a relationship would be my worst nightmare :frown:

If they're human you'll date them, failing that you'll give it a thought.

"Swag"? Oh dear :lol:

Someone is obviously going for LADs in snapbacks/wannabe "gangstas" there. The exact opposite of anything I would want.

1. A great sense of humor: I can't stress enough how important I think this is. I thinks its important to be with something who can make you smile even in the hardest of times.
2. Loyalty/Trust
3. Positive
4. Honesty
5. Caring

Yeah looks are important too but they mean nothing if you're a pig :smile:
