attractive, good sense of humor/play, intelligent, likes a lot of sex, liberal minded, open minded, diverse music taste, social. But thats the perfect male IMHO.

thats about it :P

with a ruler

sorry, couldn't resist :D

"likes a lot of sex...open minded"

lol kinky ...o.O
hey! you took that out of context lorik! *whap with newspaper*

Funny that mostly dudes have responded so far to this post.

I am recently married and the reason I wanted to marry my husband is because he is humble and sincere, has an obvious strength of character, is trustworthy and seems to enjoy me a whole lot. 

I used to look for a-holes who were cute and cool. Many women never stop looking for that, but when they get wise and/ or grow up, they look for the one that lots of other girls overlook for lack of flashiness.

 

Oh come on, that title begged one-liner :)
- Good sense of humour... that's a necessity
- Reliable
- Trustworthy
- Knows how to have an interesting conversation, not just, "so I got these mods done to my truck.."
- nice eyes!

EYEBROWS should be thick and straight. Cleanliness. Smell is very important: a little bit of non-fruity soap or aftershave is good, pounds of cologne is not, and please do not breathe all over me if you haven't checked your breath recently. Manners are a must. A nice smile is a must. At least one shared interest is a must, at least to start out with! It's also nice if someone can come out and SAY what he actually means, within reason (see the 'manners' bit).

Just being a DECENT PERSON inside is what counts the most. If you have that, you do not have to try too hard to impress.

feanor, about smell, thats kinda a funny thing.   I think that really depends on the girl.

A girl in one of my college classes kept tellin me how much she loved the smell of a farm on a guy.  I sat there thinking "wow... do I stink?" and I actually asked "wow is that a suble hint that I stink", because I was paranoid already because my dog had slept under my clothes rack.  She just laughed said no and I just said "so you actually like the smell of pigs and cows?" 

And apparently she did...

What I'm confused about is hair.  I've had girls tell me they like how I look with a beard, then I've had others say "you need to shave" 

I usually just keep a small patch of hair under my lip sometimes extending into a small beard, and everything else stuble.

Bodyhair confuses me too... I have chest hair, arm hair, and leg hair.  I've always thought it was pretty much straight forward that a guy should have that ;P  My cousin is uber athletic and he shaves his arms, legs, chest.  My brother isnt athletic at all, and he shaves his arms, legs, chest.  My chemistry professor is old and unathletic, and shaves his arms and legs.

Confusion...
And yea its sad mostly guys responding so far... :P but I'm one of em.
Honestly, I have a thing for Asian guys. So random, but that's my physical 'preference'. Other than that, I've always judged a person by intertwining their personality with their physical appearance. If a guy is a jerk, he's an ugly person. There's no gray area there for me.

Oh, the bodyhair question is a good one! (im hairy too...thanks a lot dad...)

Good side about hair.... ok...there is no good side to hair.

Good side to shaving: Feels a lot better (against covers or shirts or anything like that), looks a lot better (can actually see muscles)

Bad side to shaving: Lots of work, period of itchyness, instant sterotyped as gay (lol)

But...im not really sure which women like more. Personally, i like the inbetween period where the hair is just a little grown. It doesnt get in the way, still feels nice, and can still see a decent amount of body detail.

I'm not attracted to Asian guys at all. -shrug- It may be because I don't know very many of them in the first place, and the ones I do know are all very very quiet and very very skinny. Ahaha.

See, it's confusing to me too, justg. Not ALL smells are bad. Mostly I was talking about body odor. That is just horrible. I mean, if you were recently exercising, that's understandable, but otherwise, no! I myself am really into horses so if you smell like a barn I generally won't mind.. unless we're trying to go get something to eat and I KNOW you've had hours to shower. Am I being totally confusing? =P

Body hair is another thing that is hard to have concrete rules about. Some guys look sexy with a scraggly beard and hair, and others look simply.. scraggly! If I don't KNOW the person already, then there are a few things that I do appreciate: cleaning up the under section of the neck and trimming around the jawline, if you have a stubble thing going on. If you have a beard, trim that also. Beards are actually fine with me, if they aren't like... WOAH that's a long beard! OTHER hair... you're meant to have it, I know. Just don't show it off. Button up your shirts.. this is one of the worst offenders! You COULD.. er... trim the underarm hair if you are like, horribly long there, but other wise don't worry about it.

Please don't shave your legs. Ever. 

Haha; the ones you know are probably a lot like my (eventual) brother-in-law; he's quiet with long hair that falls in his eyes and really skinny pants. He's also a total flamer who I adore!
My love of the foreign ;D didn't really begin until I started dating my boyfriend 4 years and eleven months ago (anniversary today). He's Filipino and I noticed that a lot of the men I oohed or ahhed over were Asian. Funny how that happens?
I think im attracted to asian guys too... o.O Is it just me or is link really cute in this video?!
HAHAHA. I'm just going to pretend that was NOT a girl and agree with you ;D. I don't remember there being a lot of dancing in The Legend of Zelda.. psh. false advertising.
I prefer taller men.  Looks aside, I like;

  • doors opened for me.
  • Men who take charge. 
  • Men from good families. 
  • Men who are polite.
  • Education is important.
  • Men who are neat (don't expect me to ride in a dirty messy car.)
  • Men who treat others well.
The list is longer, but I'll stop here.

ok.....have to tell you about a joke someone sent me.  It was a LIST of things women look for in a man: 

  1.  kind,
  2.  caring,
  3. loyal,
  4.  a good provider,
  5.  someone who listens,
  6. someone who is always there for you,
  7. someone who is always on your side
  8. etc, etc,
then it listed the things a man wants in a woman.

  1.  Bring food
  2. Show up naked

confidence and class.

 As to the hair thing, I'm supposed to be smooth, not you.  OK to do something about the back hair but if you wax/shave your chest, back, and arms, I'm going to be creeped out and totally think you're repressing. ;)

I like guys who can carry conversations about philosophy, religion, politics, and all kinds of science. Body type doesnt matter at all, as long as he looks healthy, and has a nice, honest-looking face. 

In terms of evolutionary behavior, most women are willing to trade good looks (an indicator of good genes) for loyalty (probability that he will stay around and stay in love.)
Guys lose major points for smoking and being Republicans...although apparently some girls are into those kinds of guys too.
If your asking this question in hopes of attracting more females... STOP!!!!

I mean, of course cleanliness, and politeness is a give-in, just be who you are. The fact of the matter is, if you ask this question, you're going to get a zillion different responses because everyone is different. Be you, and eventually, you'll come across a woman who is looking for----YOU!!!!

CONFIDENCE- Insecurity is a huge turn off for me. A sense of humor is also extremely important. Intelligence- I want to be able to have a real conversation. I would like the guy to be honest and caring. I like them to be sweet but at the same time I don't want to feel smothered. Someone who has at least a few similar interests. Someone that is spontaneous and knows how to keep things interesting.

As far as looks go I think many types are attractive but I prefer that they be taller than me and bigger than me. I don't want to date a guy skinnier than me. I like them to have some muscle to them. Oh and guys are supposed to have more hair but to much of it grosses me out.

Is jump roping as good an exercise as running?

In terms of calorie burning, moderate jumping is about equal to running a 10-minute mile, although calorie burning is always a function of time... Read more
