How to attract a guy...

Hi everyone.

Id just like to get some tips or advice especially from a guys point of view)...

What attracts you guys to a girl when you're out? Smiling? Happy? Laughing? Dancing?

Do you like them to approach you? If so whats a good opening line? Or do u like to approach them? What would make u approach them?

I think u get the jist of what im after. Ive been single for ages now but just do not seem to get ANY attention from guys whatsoever when i go out. Im out tonight so would like some tips/advice.

From girls as well...any advice, anything that works??

i think i speak for every guy here when i say its the hottest thing ever for the girl to make the first move. a nice smile and eye contact, possibly a bit of dancing close by and a bit of grinding. should make it blindingly obvious to the guy that you like him.

ok so how do i approach the guy? ive NEVER made the first move before so what on earth do i say to the guy to get the conversation going somewhere? im really afraid of rejection. so not just "hi"

IT's easy!!!!

All girls have to do is talk to a guy and he's interested!!!

The question is how do u attract a girl? Especially if you have the dancing rythm of a dead badger!!!

I think that all guys are different, so the question really doesn't need answering. You have to just be as you are comfortable, don't be pointlessly in peoples faces or loud, unless thats the person you are. The cliche of be yourself does hold true here, so don't go being what people want you to be, or you are in for a very laborious time!

Now you can empathise with blokes when they are considering coming up to you. If a woman approaches a guy then he will pretty much say yes unless he's in a relationship (debatable) or gay.

Only problem is some guys will judge by looks. If you're not hot, they might not like it. (I'm not talking about myself but it's a possibility).

eye contact and a smile

I normally find it quite easy to talk to a guy if hes sitting next to me in a bar etc, you just have to be confident to start random conversation, whats the worst that can happen, chance is you'll never see the guy again. It seems to have a high success rate though. I dont really like dancing with guys though, because most guys i know cant dance for ****, and just clamp your hips with their hands, how the hell am i ment to dance went you won't let me move lol!

Just be happy, smiling, now one wants to talk to a miserable person.
Hmm good opening line, be random something like, 'gahh i love this tune' or 'sorry is anyone sitting their?' not very helpful, but these things tend to just flow!

Oh and remember their could be loads of guys wishing you would come over to talk to them, guys are pretty shy too, you know. Sometimes you just have to make the first move.

Haha...I don't like girls who are all loud and I reckon most guys won't...so if your not like that...point already..

Uhhh...Well me personally...I like an independent relaxed, chilled out type of girl. In my uni, I hate those type of girls that always hang around in groups of 4 or 5. She may be fit, but you always see them in their little "cool" groups and then that's such a turn-ff..I don't know why, it just pisses me off.

Then you see that funky independent type of chick, who doesn't care if she is with anyone or you may see her alone somewhere...that's cool.

But then these questions like how can i pull a chick or a guy..they always come to the same.

You can only "pull"...if there is some sort of mutual physical attraction between you and the other.

Like I can say all this ******** about the independent girl and all but what if i see one and then I'm like..Whoa cool...then she turns around and I'm...Whoa ****, I'm not going there...

Know what I mean...If you go to a club whatever, if you think you are hot..haha..then just make eye contact with whichever dude you think is hot...and I guarantee you he will come upto you..Obviously only if he thinks you are hot.

the 'bitch pack' or 'tart clan' :wink:. horrendous experience. especially when its the 'bodyguard' also known as the 'ugly (personality & looks & generally) friend' who takes a shining to you...

HAHAHA!..The bodyguard?..That's usually the ugly one?..ahhahahah!

Havn't come across that many, there is just one group that sticks in my mind at uni...mostly these gangs..lol...seem to be paki girls or ... actually usually only them in my uni..ahahhaha!

P.s I'm half paki myself, I'm not racist anyone..lol..I just say it casually...no offence if any paki reads this!..lol

Serious question, do you think you are an attractive person? I don't mean this in an offensive way, but it's quite possible that you just aren't as attractive as a lot of girls around. It's a harsh reality, but if you aren't blessed with good looks, clubs/bars are probably not the best place to find prospective boyfriends or whatever it is you're looking for.

Really? Hmm...food for thought!

Ok so we have the conversation and the dancing, what else attracts you to a girl? Is it mainly the looks? Smile? Eyes? Attitude with friends?
