Girls, what do we find attractive about guys besides their looks?

Ayye. A spin off to the guy thread. The thread was created because quite rightly, there's a lot of questions about girls worrying about guys and I thought, well surely guys must worry about things like this as well?

&& their thread sort of boosted my confidence a ickle bit about how it's not down to looks so I'd like to do the same to them.

So girls.......GO!

For me, a guy is attractive to me when he does small little gestures that could be corny and tiny but mean a lot. For example: Texting me just to say night or texting me to wish me a good day.

Sense of humour, generosity, honesty, someone who just 'gets' me.
- Wit
- Intelligence
- Self assured, but not arrogant
- On the same wave length
- Honest

I obviously have to be attracted to them to though

I agree that honest is important. I think sometimes being stupid can make one looks more charming. Just sometimes, you know.

Yeah. When I'm slumming it with attractive guys my own age I like them to be sweet and dumb.
What about the ability to be on TSR for entire days on end when you've got the 'flu in the middle of summer? Is that attractive?

That's romantic but absolutely not attractive.

How is that romantic? PM'ing you over TSR turns you on?
Honest
Sense of humour
Kind and sweet
Independent
Intelligence
Confidence
Remembers important dates (birthdays/anniversaries etc)
Can cook
Powerful
Has ambitions
Willing to come clubbing without complaining

There is more but I can't think of what.

Not being arrogant or cocky that's the most important thing. To view me as an equal.

Just my view. You may not agree.

A sense of humour doesn't hurt - preferably one that doesn't involve sexual connotations, particularly in early stages of a relationship otherwise the sense of humour can become an unattractive feature.

I like that there is a protectiveness over me by my boyfriend - not to an obsessive point, I can go out, do my own thing and be my own person, but he looks out for me - I don't think I would find this attractive early on though.

The ability to hold a decent conversation is another desirable attribute - particularly if it can avoid topics such as computer games, football and violence and in return I will avoid shopping, make up and men as chosen topics. :smile:
