What I look for in a guy...
Physically, I look for:
Strong shoulders/back. I dont' want a guy who slumps. I want somebody who can hold himself and his head up high.
Good hands. I like guys who work hard and let it show. That means calluses and rough skin. I know too many guys who are afraid of a little hard work (with a couple exceptions where damaging their hands accidentally would interfere with their musical aspirations) and that's just boring to me.
A friendly smile. I hate it when guys are afraid to smile. Go ahead and laugh all you want, boys, smiles are hot!
Good legs. I know, that's usually reserved for girls, but I hate guys whose legs are disporportionate to the rest of their body! It just looks so wrong!
Good hygeine. If I can smell you and it isn't cologne and you haven't been working out...ew.
Good eating habits. I don't care what you eat, but how you eat it. There are some foods that just can't be eaten with your fingers!
Fit. I don't want a Michael Phelps or Aaron Peirsol (although...Aaron's got a great body...sorry, OT). I just want a guy who is in shape and can run a mile or two without dying (unless, you know, he's got asthma).
A good voice. This one's strictly a personal preference, but I like guys with deeper voices.
NO SMOKING, NO DRUGS. I will dump you flat out if I find out you smoke or do drugs. That is my biggest turn-off.
Non-Physically, I want:
A good sense of humour. Nothing's better than a guy who can make me laugh...except for maybe
An ability to show their emotions. My current crush (reeeaaally complicated) isn't afraid to admit that he misses all of us (not just me) and that he cried when it finally hit him he wasn't going to see us again for almost an entire year. I don't want a guy more girly than me, but it'd be nice to have a guy that isn't just a stoic face.
He isn't afraid to ask what's wrong if he thinks I'm sad. Again, I know too many guys who just shrug it off when they're girlfriend is in tears and say they're just being "hormonal". I want my guy to ask me what's wrong and if it's another guy harrasing me, I want him to offer to beat the other guy up. I'd never let him do it, but just knowing he would is nice.
Good memory, or at least he tries to remember things. My most recent ex had forgotten it was my birthday- all the way up until I called and asked if he wanted to come to the party the next day! It seems to me that if I'm going to go through the effort of remembering your birthday you should extend me the same courtesy.
Understanding. I want a guy that knows just because I look at celebrities and think they're hot doesn't mean I want them as much as you. I want a guy who knows that sometimes I just need to sit and watch the entire season of a TV show. That I sometimes just need to run until I can't feel my legs, even if it means I can't walk back to my house (I do this a lot. Eventually my mom just told me to call her when I stopped and she'd come pick me up. It's not so much of a big deal in the winter since it's hard to run in three feet of snow).
Smart. Not necessarily book smart, but smart about something. And generally overall smart, too is a great big plus in my book. I believe in multiple intelligences, so I can understand that while you may be awful at regular schoolwork, you can take apart an engine in no time. And that makes you smarter than me. I like guys I can hold intelligent conversation with most of all.
Accepting. I want a guy who accepts that I'm straight-edge and therefore will never drink, smoke, or do drugs. I'm fine with a guy having a couple beers after work or at a party or whatever, just don't try and make me do it. I've made my choice so don't try to change my mind.
yeah. I'm not doing what I look for in a girl. I'm just too lazy right now.
like i like muscular but buff is weird.
