I'm not a guy, and I'm not trying to be cheesy when I say this, but - just be yourself! 9 times out of 10 a guy will like a girl who doesn't fabricate things about herself and try to be someone she's not. The right guy will like you for who you are, not for who you change yourself to be <33

No, it's not cheesy: it's true! And I have been myself for YEARS and not one guy has ever noticed me. : (

Same here, I'm just waiting for the right guy to come around - my advice would just be KEEP being yourself, and you can do small things to enhance yourself e.g. take care of yourself, wear nice perfumes, eat well, smile and be positive (but don't fake it), do makeup (or not) that makes you feel like YOU and someday for SURE a guy will love you for your personality and looks. I'm sure you're absolutely lovely and I wish you the best of luck : )

I'm flexible provided she meets certain minimum criteria:

1.

No drugs, or other addictions

2.

No credit card debt, and generally acts with good financial sense

3.

Little/no history of 'situationships', dating multiple/lots of people, sleeping around, 'bad boys', etc. Among other reasons, I also can't be f-ed to deal with the trauma.

4.

Looks after her health. Eats right & exercises. Not obsessive about it, just normal.

5.

Has healthy ambitions (not greedy/entitled).

6.

Has nice friends and/or nice family. The sort of company you keep, is a reflection of your choices. I take a dim view if her friends are crappy, and often people surround themselves with others who are like-minded. Thus if her friends appear significantly different from her and also don't meet the same criteria on this list, it's probably because she's holding back something and not being truthful with me. I don't like that. I've seen it several times already. Nope. By contrast, most of my friends tick most of the items on this list.


I think provided those criteria are met, we can probably work something out. It's not usually not actually a big deal if they fall short on one or two points (depends which though). Drugs are a hard no & I bomb those people out of my life.

if i were into women, i think my type would be cute so like, long hair and pretty dresses. we could just do cute things together and life would be super peaceful. men ******* suck but my brain still decides to be attracted to them

I think a lot of dudes are after a really good friendship that turned life long partner. Thats really it.

I don't think we particularly care much about looks, personally I consider most girls I see attractice in some kind of way anyway.

Obviously though there are physical traits which will drive some dudes crazy. Some like bodacious bosooms, some like bubble butts, some care too deeply about the hip to shoulder ratio and others are into large girls.

For me, its some what slender, fair skinned raven haired maidens. Though quite frankly this isn't a 100% requirement.

I think everyone has at least one of these "sins".

Hi, I honestly have the same criteria but with a guy except I also want him to just be repectful and not horrible? And anything that is important to me that I want in a guy I make sure that I have those qualities. Also with the thing about a girl's friends I get what u mean but, I have been jokingly told by my friends that sometimes im too responsible and not crazy enough but obvi they are forgetting karaoke night! lol I hope you find someone and that if you do me saying this will be good karma and I'll get sm1 too!!! Have a great day!
