What Do Girls Like About Guys (and Vice Versa)

[Furore]

Also...Beer tastes and smells like I would imagine Silage to...after a cow has spit it back up. Ale is ok...Lambic is awesome. But honestly, if your going to drink an alcoholic beverage...go for rum. It's honest, tastes good and will do the job. None of this 12 proof bullshit... All beer does is make you have to pee a lot...

I will state that beer is delicious and the perfect companion to a hot summer day, cold winter day, or those in between spring and fall days. Beer also doesn't really harm the liver nor cause hepatitis. Hard liquor does that, since it makes the liver work that much harder in a shorter span of time.

Beer is awesome if you drink the right one. I'd say most stronger Australian beers like Tooheys Extra Dry Platinum and Chopper Heavy are amazing. Ultimately though it's a matter of an individual's personal taste.

Rum is also awesome and despite drinking a ton of it I'm still yet to get hepatitis from it. I'm guessing even with the stronger stuff you'd often have to either drink a ton (and I drink a deal at times) or just have to be prone to it for whatever reason. I'd recommend the original Coruba

In conclusion, if a girl likes her beer and strong spirits, it's likely a turn on for me as it gives us some nice common ground and I can assume such a girl would be less likely to get annoyed at my consumption of alcohol.

That's mainly because you can't catch Hepatitis from Alcohol. Hepatitis is always caused by a pathogen; even though Hepatitis, the word, means inflammation of liver... You can get Cirrhosis of the liver from drinking...which is a fancy way of saying scarred liver full of fat deposits and dead tissue.

I love how everyone has this supposed idea in their head of a perfect partner that they'd most likely hate if they actually met. Perfection makes relationships redundant.

To drive in the wrong lane, I am absolutely by no means looking for someone who knows what they want. That's the funniest turn on I've ever heard. What kind of super human actually knows what they want? No, I much prefer real people that have absolutely no idea what they're doing on this planet. I'm not looking for a teacher, I'm looking for someone to grow with. I don't want to experience a work of art; I want to help create it.

Clearly, I don't have a sodding clue what I want. Neither should my potential partner. What attracts me to the opposite sex isn't something that can be qualified or rationally sought. It just has to click.

Edit: Yes, I know that my comments don't apply to physical attractions, so don't take them as commentary on the subject. In fact, this is mostly rambling.

[Sinister]

Technically, we seek out compatible traits that we inured to or were taught over the course of the developmental stage of psychological growth. Something caused by Jungian archetypes...a sister, brother ect... These imprinted traits form a grandscale...opinion, for lack of a better word, of the target companion gender. Whether the effect of these traits feature positively or negatively in choosing a mate depend on the circumstances.

If you'll look over some of the requested traits, some of them are decidedly imperfect. But the percentage of meeting the perfect mate, are sadly slim, anyway. Also people don't realize that they don't want things to always be happy and perfect.

[Jin]

Like I said at the end, I was mostly rambling. While reading this thread I started thinking of something else and was clearly too tired to remember that what I was thinking about wasn't exactly the topic. But everyone was talking about beer, so I didn't think it mattered too much.

I think that the idea of trying to find this perfect mate of ours is a bit daunting, and so talking about beer is just the next best thing. It is nice to speculate, but I feel like we'll know that person when we see them. Instinct will kick in and just say "this one."

I think that Jin and Sin both bring up great points here though. Culturally, we're given ideals of what our ideal man or ideal woman should be. Through our own personalities, we try to forge the idea of what our own ideal man or woman would be, based on the traits that we enjoy and that we find desirable in our own friends. This idea is often further cemented by the media and the like, but that's a story for another day.

I do think that Jin is very right though, when he says that if we found the perfect mate we describe here, we'd probably get sick of them, or them of us. It's like when you decide to dorm with your best friend in college. At first it seems like a great idea since you know each other so well and blah blah blah. After a while little mannerisms will begin to drive each other nuts, and a friendship could be ruined. Just imagine if you dated yourself. I'd want to punch myself if I had to put up with me all day. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I actually remember that moment quite clearly. Not that I think Evan and I will last until the end of time or anything; but up until now, he's been the only man I've truly found attractive. He isn't my idea of a perfect man, because he's not perfect, nobody is; and if he was too good, it'd be kind of creepy. I'd suspect something.

But I did know, instantly. The feeling stayed with me all through Academy, even when I had nothing to do with him at all. And now we live together. Go figure.

I don't really drink beer; but it is refreshing. I won't say no to one, put it that way. Corona with lemon, oh yes. Girly beer. Whoops, that's lager. Same difference, I suppose.

I have noticed with Ann it seems to help greatly that while we share a few common interests we both have some vastly different ones. Granted it can make some tiny barriers, but on the positive side it seems to keep things running smoothly overall.

It also helps that as well as being together, we're good friends. I've found relationships without that close friend aspect have tended to bomb for me, and it is nice having someone I can confide in about pretty much anything.

And as much as I don't normally plug the need for a partner to be too attractive, I'm afraid I've fallen for Ann's beauty that much that I'd definetely be lying if I said beauty didn't mean nothing at this point.

That could lead to some more things I look for. Ann's pretty much spot on with physical features I love and the fact she's a fellow gamer really makes me happy. To be blunt, it's rarer I'd find such a beautiful girl who's ALSO a gamer, but then I think this forum alone hosts a few.

OT: As far as beer is concerned, well I'd think by now you'd know I couldn't resist adding to banter about liquor. It's one of those passions of mine which led to me rather impulsively jumping in. The same effect would have been achieved if you started with variaties of cheese. I'm easily baited even if that was not a poster's intention.

Beer is gross and don't really see the fascination with it, give me some Vodka, Bourbon or even Wine instead thank you very much. Anyway I get too emo when I drink, I'm better off with some green.

Physically I sometimes have a fetish for girls who are petite (small), big breasts are nice and all but I'd settle for handfuls. I have a fetish for creamy skin, soft and smooth... looks good whether its porcelain or an Eastern European tan (Some Asian females have nice skin, some not so much) as long as its not too dark/orange (I hate guidos). I prefer Blonde or Redhair mostly, long is nice but again not a big deal.

Mentally I don't really care what they're into just as long as we can talk, generally I get on with females more than I get on with males so it shouldn't be a huge issue. I would hope to not end up with somebody who likes petty arguments but some times its just inevitable.

However there's no points having requirements if I can't met theirs.

Turn ons?

Blond hair and Blue eyes. Damn. Get me every time. I tend to get lost in really nice blue eyes. Though this isn't necessarily a requirement, it's easier for you if you have blond hair or blue eyes, extra points if you have both.

You need to be slightly assertive, but not overwhelmingly assertive. Tell me what you want. I'll more then likely comply, unless it is out of my comfort zone, which, if you know me well enough, you'll learn that it really has close to no boundaries.

With that last thing in mind, here is a collorary. Don't control me. I like having little boundaries, so don't become one of them.

Resourcefulness: a great trait. No "Oh no my roommate is in my room." You're hopefully smart. Find another place. I don't care.

I need space too. Don't be offended by it. It isn't you. If you are secure enough not to have to see me every second on the second, that is way sexier, and my anticipation goes up. Anticipation is important.

Not sex every time. We can still just mess around, kiss, just cuddle. It changes things up. It builds up the aforementioned anticipation from before.

Tall. Tall isn't a requirement (one of my boyfriends only was 2" taller then me), but it helps.

Being inappropriate, but tastefully. That's what she said is lame. Be creative and keep in mind environment.

Turn OFFs:

Not being clean. Like brush your hair. Shave every once in a while.

First trying to come on to me when I'm drunk or you're drunk. EVEN when I'm drunk, that bothers me. Like Get some nads. Do it sober.

Speaking to me disrespectfully. Don't ever tell me to shut the f^ck up. And NEVER call me a c^nt. I mean, sure playfully, but don't talk to me like stated above, chill down the language. I HATE disrespect more then anything, and you won't catch me being that disrespectful to you.

Being VERY sloppy. I don't mind some clutter, but I don't want to have an encounter with you and have my hair in last week's lunch (that has happened btw >_<). And I don't like dirty in general.
