    the girls who i usually meet, i have avblot of good friends who are really funny, but i would go out with thme, my girlfriend at the mo, aint as funny, but she is generally so caring and gorgeuos, but i have to make the effort to humour her, can get tedious, but then i just pull her if it getsa abit boring. i find there smile attractive, and nice hair, nice tits, but not too bothered, and they have to be cuddly, i dont know, someone who u can just cuddle and dont have to talk to, when u want to relax

    Girls have gotta be funny and good to be around, you have gotta be good friends as well or it doesnt work. I also like girls with medium/long hair, girls with short hair are personaly a turn off for me. Colour doesnt matter. Looks dont really matter - whats the point of having a really good looking girl if they have the personality of a fish.

    i like guys with a good sense of humour, who are trustworthy but who also giv gud cuddles and think that sex is not the most important thing in the world.

    i luv cuddles! i could have big juicy cuddle all day n not get bored. Just being wiv sum1. Wow kinda went off the topic there, but looks are soooooo unimportant

    I'm glad you said that about long hair, I've got a 7 yr old niece who keeps threatening me with a pair of scissors every day, and I don't think my ponytail's going to be around much longer....

    When it comes to women, I go for brains and chatter, if a woman can talk with me about the kinds of things I like to talk about then the rest usually comes naturally. I'm still looking for a Newcastle United supporter with an IQ of 161, suppose I'll just have to be patient....

    All the other lads are saying about girls having to be funny, good personality e.t.c. But this isnt true. The first judgment a lad makes about a girl is on her looks. If he finds her unnatractive he puts her on the "mental blacklist".
    Now dont read into this the wrong way. Lots of lads find different things attractive, some lads believe it or not dont fancy Brittney Spears or other supposedly drop dead gorgeous women. And the judgment thing isnt men being bastards, women do it as well. Women subconciously size up a man and are more likely to choose bigger, healthier men than small weak ones. Over the years humans have suppressed this and concentrate on other things more, but it is still there. So lads, buy urself platform shoes and wear padding on your arms and shoulders.

    p.s.If you find anything offensive about this, plz dont. It isnt intended to be, it is simply something I have learnt recently but not been able to put into practice. Any offence caused is prolly cos of my poor grammar.

    wow, loadsa different opinions!
    I suppose sub consiously, looks do matter sometimes, otherwise we wouldnt like famous ppl
    But if u known some1 4 ages u get 2 see their personality and then looks arent actually that important.

    Well obviously when you meet a person for the first time in person looks are gonna be important as they are the 1st impressions you get of a person before you speak to them. But when I was on the pull i would speak to girls I thought would suit me rather than those who looked the best, and i know alot of mates who do the same. And for the record - I dont like Britney Spears either.

    I have to say that at least you are being honest!! Looks are extremly important to me, but I was too scared to write it because of what everyone else was saying!!

    Sorry but a personality can't attract me from across a crowded room!!

    of course looks are important when first meeting someone, you're either attracted to someone or you're not. or somewhere in between, not thinking "ewww no i dont wanna go out with you" and not going "omg i want you NOW" sorta thing.

    but then not all people find the same things attractive, i mean i dont find brad pitt that good looking to be honest, okay sometimes he does look quite good looking but i dont fancy him at all and never have done. facial hair just isnt much of a turn on for me, and i alwyas think his eyes look a bit mean. but thats just me.

    i find things more attractive like a friendly face, kind eyes, hair = not all fixed in place or anything with solid gel or making it look nasty and greasy, not too long, and not looking liek its taken 2 hrs to get it how it is!

    but thats just for first impressions, like city_boy said, once you get to know someone then looks arent as important, you get to like them for their personality which is a lot more important for basing a relationship on than looks! with my ex boyfriend i didnt even fancy him when we got together, i didnt find him particularly good looking or bad looking, just kind of okay, but i knew him well by them which is why i went out with him. and people i have really fancied like to the point of obsession, i havent gone out with and it probably wouldnt have worked out anyway.

    anyway now i have the best of both worlds, someone i find attractive and who i fancy and who i also get on really well with as i got to know their personality first <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;

    i get the feelign this is a long post so im going to stop. now.

    I don't have anything in particular I look for in a guy - different people attract me in different ways. Having said that I do go for height - it's always been an issue with me because I'm quite tall myself and still a wee bit self-conscious about it. I don't like bony men but I don't mind if they're just a bit skinny. Personality has to be there though - the ability to cheer me up, sense of humour, kinda easy-going and open-minded, honest and intelligent.

    Ooooh - one thing though - men wearing make-up. Why the hell do I go for that? Especially eye-liner. I CANNOT fail to go for a man if he is wearing eye-liner. I mean wtf is that all about?!!!

    chickadee, that is slightly unusual! i have a male friend who wears nail varnish sometimes, my best friend who sort of went out withhim hated it and said she wouldnt go out anywhere with him with his nails painted!!

    i know what you mean about height, im 5'7 myself and for aaaaaages there was no one really taller than me! with my ex when i wore heels i was taller than him, which i didnt like!!

    yeah ability to cheer me up is good, someone who will understand me, someone who wont make me feel worse when im feeling crap about stuff, someone who will sympathise and empathise (lol just had to get those words in turtle and lee), honesty is important. making me feel like im the most important person around and that they want to spend as much time as possible with me, even if thats not possible, just to suggest it and mean it. and im sure theres more but ive said enough for now!

    i have to admit, it's always looks that draws my attention first...you can only tell a guy's personality over time - with looks it's just a matter of seconds to make up your mind.

    im not all that fussed about looks (but it does help!), at the end of the day...the most attractive thing is something you cannot see.

    personality wise, they have to be nice all round and have to like those kinda cuddles without words. they mustn't push the subject of having sex too far with me. sense of humour and honesty.
    and the thing they HAVE to have is something that tells me they're different...stands out or soemthing. i can't exactly put into words, but it's something there about him telling you that he IS different from the rest...some kinda feeling he has to give me.

    to be honest...i have dated some nice looking guys...but they aren't that nice (probably knows they're gorgeous) and i have also dated some not-as-nice-looking guys...and they seem to be nicer. im not saying ALL nice looking lads are bad, just from my own experiences.

    i would go with a gorgeous guy with no personality for one night, but when it comes to relationships...personality always win over looks.

    I like an intelligent lad who has a sense of what's right and wrong and can have justifiable opinions on certain topics without being forcefull in asserting them.

    Looks aren't that important, but I like them tall and dark and not too skinny.

    Eyes. eyes eyes eyes. then height (couldn't go out with someone shorter than me, i don't think...) then you get to know them. i also like guys with brown hair... face it, you aren't gonna go up and talk to someone unless you fancy them, the way they look.

    It's something unpredictable
    But in the end is right

    I must admit that physical appearance is probably no.1 for me as i cant fancy someones personality. Having said that, honesty, the ability to hold a decent conversation, humour, just being able to smile and wanting to do stuff 2gether.....has become far more important than it used to be.

    As i'm not a girl i cant really comment on what they look for although every g/f i've had has always commented on my eyes <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">. Sense of humour seems high up on the lists on here. The thing with me is, as i'm pretty quiet with people i dont know, i can across as just that...quiet....but once i'm comfortable with someone i can relax and love having a laf to (probably to the point of being irritating <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif"&gt; ).

    Still think girls are into looks more than they let on.... <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/wink.gif"&gt;

    This thread has been interesting to read. Not often women hear honestly from men what they find attractive and vice versa. It's so true that the first impression is important...normally you see someone before you know anything about their personality.

    I have some preferences, and some absolute musts for anyone I date. I won't date anyone short, which means shorter than me. I'm just under six feet, and being with someone smaller than me makes me feel uncomfortable. I like dark hair, eyes and skin, but they aren't essential, just a look I like.

    Don't like what I call pretty boys. Not sure how to explain, but Leo DeCaprio, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon would be examples. Much prefer a rugged look to "pretty boys".

    Other stuff I like: chest hair (no back hair though!), cheekbones, great teeth, and a healthy build (some muscles, but not a bodybuilder type).

    Other turn-offs: long-hair (sorry fantasy :-(), guys who pluck their eyebrows, ginger hair, and tons of cologne.
