Question for Teen Guys

Okay, so I was just wondering, what do you look for in a girl? I'm a girl and in my school it seems like all the guys care about is a hot body and face.

Since time immemorial, immature boys have always been drawn to a 'hot body and a face'..  You're not going to change that any time soon.   However, what distinguishes a 'boy' from a 'man' is when they learn that there is a lot more to a woman than cosmetic appearance and also when they start to appreciate that they don't own a 'hot body and a face' either..... so they'd better stop being quite so fussy.  LOL!

Someone with beauty and brains; not necessarily a ton of either, but at least some of both.  I like them on the slender side, but that's just personal, and face>body for me.

That's pretty much all they care about. Honestly, I've met plenty of guys. I used to be super chubby and I barely ever got attention from guys. Come next year, 30 pounds lighter, and I'm getting asked out by different guys all the time. Obviously, it's not personality.

They may SAY they go for personality, but everything is much more appealing in a nice packaging.

This is pretty much the exact same thing for me!  I went through most of my life without a smidge of male attention (okay, ONE boy in 8th grade)  but as soon as I dropped 30lbs, BOOM.  Haha, well not really.  It's more like these 2 guys I'm not interested in are all over me.  Ick.

But yeah, to them, everything is more appealing when it's wrapped in a nice box with a bow, not wrapped in the morning funnies. =/

First of all, you got older. Boys show more interest in girls when they're 15 than when they're 13 in general. They show even more interest when they're 17 and are even more assertive when they're 19. It makes a big difference how old you are.

Second of all, yes, physical attraction is important. It's definitely a big part of what guys go for initially. Would you be interested in someone you weren't initially attracted to? Key word: initially. After that it's the personality that keeps it going. Confidence is huge, and a lot of time extra weight means less confidence. 

Have confidence in yourself, develop yourself and your hobbies and just enjoy your life. A lot of times these things happen best when you're not looking for them or expecting them. I had a crush on a guy for years. It wasn't until I decided to give up and started going out to parties and having confidence in myself that it finally happened for me. He asked me out about a month later and we've been dating for two years.

How old are you?

I personally am a sophmore, 16, in high school and while looks is definitely a plus, i could really care less about them. I myself know i am not good looking and that i will not get a girl that looks like Jessica Biel. I look first for personality, do i like the way you act.. And honestly one of the biggest turn ons for me are just little things that women do every now and then. Sort of like in the Brad Paisley song Little Moments. Trust is definitely one of the biggest issues. But yea, overall, looks are down near the bottom of the list.
