There's no simple way to answer that. Personally I look for a guy who's intelligent and interesting and can challange me. The guys that me and my friends are interested in are totally different and we've never fancied the same guy. Confidence and a sense of humour are always good, though.

I'd say intelligent conversation is absolutely vital for me. I just couldn't deal with a boyfriend who couldn't challenge me intellectually. However, a sense of humour similar to mine [ie. pretty sick!] and being attractive are pretty important too.

When girls are younger, it's all about the guy who has looks that correspond to the social standard (so currently, being a bit of a pretty boy is always good) and who's popular. That gives them the status they want. If you've pulled a guy like that, you can't be bad yourself...

When you're older, the social status comes more from the job, the money and a physique that offers security rather than style.

That's why you see loads of girls pulling pretty boys when they're young but when you're 30, having a great-looking boyfriend who still cleans dishes doesn't really give you the popularity that it did when you were 16. So they all start going for guys who have a better financial status.

intellegent conversation comes first without a doubt...if you don't have that, what do you have?! Are you just going to sit and talk about nothing?! Other things are still important obviously, but i'd say that is a major priority.

Charisma first.
how can you really prefer one of the options? you could be having great conversation, but if you arent attracted, and the sex is crap then it obviously wont work. or if youre with someone whos really great looking but who has no conversational skills, and sex is bad then again it wont work. need an all of the above option! :biggrin:

Are you being ironic by spelling intelligent incorrectly?
"What do girls prefer?" me

any questions?

Someone that can make me laugh, and that I can talk easily to. Any guys that there ends up being awkward pauses with is a definite no, no matter how good looking he is!
i'd like to think that my girlfriend loves me cos i've got a good personality, not because i'm ugly as sin! :P
I think that personality and similar interests are very important!
a guy that can make me laugh....thats all i need
