what guys want

I’ve been single for almost 8 months now. I hate being single… I miss being one-half of a couple… Sometimes I feel so alone. I do have friends but I miss having a ‘special someone’. I miss having that special feeling. The feeling of being in love… Loving someone is not hard for me; it’s everything before that is the problem. Finding someone you like, then getting to know the person, then getting their number and etc. But is this all worth while? What if, in the end, they don’t like you the way that you like them?“I like you as a friend…” the most dreaded words. And I’ve been there, A LOT. Man… if I had a dollar for every time I get that… So, let me get this straight, they say that I’m a good person, who’s funny and cool but they just see me as a friend?The question that’s been driving me crazy is what do girls want? What kind of guy are they looking for? What do girls look for in a guy? What am I missing? Someday, I hope, I find the answer but today I’m here to answer all the girls who’ve been asking the same question. What do guys want?What do guys look for in a girl? Looks? Personality? Or a little bit of both? Before I get started I would like to clarify that when I say “guys” I mean boys who are looking for a proper relationship, not the jerks that only care about looks. They don’t apply here.Guys do look for a good-looking girl. Now what constitutes “looking good” you might ask. It varies from the “girl next door” to “tomboyish” look and so on. It all depends on the guy’s taste. But what I’m sure of is that guys don’t really want a girl that’s too pretty. Why? Well, most guys think that they don’t have a chance with great-looking girls and they think that it’s very hard work to keep a pretty girl. Guys have to protect his girl from hungry ‘predators’. Some might consider going out with an ugly girl because the ugly girl would treat him well because she is afraid to lose him. Boy, talk about low self-esteem.What about personality? For normal people like us, a great personality is very important. Having a sense of humor is important because guys like a gal with a sense of humor. Brains are sexy. It really is great to have someone who can spar with you on a mental level. But I beg of you ladies, please don’t beat us silly if you are smarter than us; most guys have rather fragile egos.Guys also desire someone who is on the same frequency. You want to tell a joke that your partner will be able to get and vice versa. I seriously doubt there is much replay value in a relationship when one of the partners is as dense as a wall.I hate to admit this but guys do look for a good-looking girl. But girls please don’t despair; don’t pick up the Yellow Pages and go look for a plastic surgeon. Let me plead my case. For the average-looking guys who’re looking for a relationship, how a girl looks factors in the initial attraction. So, when we see a girl whom we find attractive, we are interested in finding more about her and so you do. Then depending on how nice her personality is, the relationship can develop from there.Ultimately, most guys agree that looks do count in the initial attraction but it’s the personality that keeps us coming back for more. It might sound cliché but it’s true – looks will fade. In a couple of decades, we’ll all look like preserved prunes anyway. But personality…now, that’s for life.I hope that solves some questions that you girls have. You may not agree to it but this is just what I think. Now, if only I know what you girls are looking for.later dayz
