Quirky things you like about the opposite sex

maxxie · 21-05-2009 1:26am

i love when ya catch a girl looking at you, and when ya do she shyly looks away

Nervous Wreck · 21-05-2009 1:29am

Girls who drink pints. They could rule the world.

Agent Smith · 21-05-2009 1:33am

down to earthness. Nothing less attractive then a girl thats done up to the nines all the time.

Also, her father owning a pub/farm is a good thing. free drink and food!

Mr Benevolent · 21-05-2009 1:37am

Physically, hands, nails, arse, back. Also curves. Lots of curves. Big boobs, long legs, naturally blonde. Ability to wear lingerie well is a big, big plus. I'm not into skinny or athletic women.

Personality, well I suppose at least as intelligent as me, but since I'm barely as smart as Bertie Wooster that's not a problem. Well read, aware of the world around them but not too practical. Very huggy is nice. She needs to be able to tolerate and indulge in apparent stupidity and borderline madness.

YES! Some guys are put off by it, but I shan't be drinking Smirnoff Ice to please anybody!

I do love the beardy/indie/nerdy type. Basically I want to go out with anyone from Fleet Foxes

Passion about music, especially music we both like, is such a turn on!

Yeah, I've heard some lads saying that it looks unattractive and 'un-ladylike'... I don't get that crap, I reckon the lads just feel slightly emasculated by it but eff that! I love a girl who can have a pint with the lads and throw out a few slaggings n'all!

Yeah, my ex loved it really. I'd often head to the pub with his male friends and have a great time!

Music knowledge in a girl is one of the biggest turn ons.

BumbleB · 21-05-2009 6:23pm

I like girls that can talk about Impressionism,dance or any of the arts.

I like girls who care about other people ,like nurses .Nurses usually are lovely in my book.

Unfortunately ,I also like very short top heavy, a little bit of weight girls which actually looks ridiculous with me ,cause I'm 6'5 but who cares if it's love.:)

Lorrs33 · 21-05-2009 8:55pm

A guy who gets straight to the point

Salome · 21-05-2009 8:57pm

I like men that are taller than me. The last fellow I had shennegans with, before meeting my OH, was smaller. It just didn't really work for me. Met my OH and went weak when he took me in his arms for the first time. Wowsers.....

galwayguy22 · 21-05-2009 8:57pm

Depends on the poison. If its Miller or Heineken well then... stick to your Smirnoff Ices.

Um...

A unique laugh is always brilliant. Snorting/guffawing/spluttering/one of those laughs that sounds like dolphins conversing. If its original and contagious Im hooked.

i find a guy who blushes quite cute. it's very endearing.

Going to add to my already long list...

I love guys who...
-aren't stuck up their arses about music, and can appreciate the fact that I can switch from Cher to Sigur Rós without so much as a second thought, and preferably has the same taste in music as me-- ie, literally everything.
-watch IT Crowd, Big Bang Theory, Reaper, Arrested Development, Scrubs, Penn & Teller: Bullshít, QI, Skins, Mythbusters, Top Gear and those BBC dino docs, because those were awesome.
-know different languages, or, better yet, are Dutch, German or Swedish and have those fantastic accents. French and Spanish are unappealing, though.
-have dimples, if it suits their face.
-are taller than me.
-can inspire me into getting back into my artistic side (writing, drawing, photography) after a really long creative block.
-don't mind me going around in ripped jeans, converse, a leather jacket and a plain tee, with barely any makeup on and undyed natural hair.
-wear fitted boxers and can pull it off.
-have a great sense of adventure (or just stupidity), and don't mind wandering around completely lost for hours on end in a big new city or a deep dark forest for the hell of it.
-love to travel.
-love to read.
-love quality non-campy horror films.
-know their way around a computer.
-have good common/street sense, as in, aren't air-headed, and naturally know how to figure things out.
-smell amazing.
-know how to play guitar.
-like easy-going, low-maitenance moderately short girls with big arses who have actual hips and a sense of freedom and acceptance who never freak out about anything, ever, and aren't afraid of basically anything.
-will not be afraid to butt heads with me and stand up for what he believes in.
-can cook.

Jesus, I could do this all day.. I'll stop now.

You realise all dudes will fit at least one of them category's!!!!! Funnily enough, aside from the TV shows (I only watch half of the listed ones), and the smelling amazing(I don't know how I smell TBH), you did just describe me!!!! Lol.

Something quirky that I like about a girl, the ability to sit through a movie without talking or checking their phone. I have never come across a girl like that though!!!

I'm quiet and attentive when in the cinema, but I don't really go to the cinema very often so when I do I make sure to pay attention because it's so rare.

Oh, forgot to add "can appreciate silence without it being awkward and doesn't have to fill every second of every day with conversation."

Oddly, the back of the neck, and the way hair curls at the nape. One of the WEIRDEST things I can think of. I just think it's so cute, and I have absolutely no idea why. yea i like this too

Actually, I like hair in general. The nice thick wavy kind, not too short, not too long, but long enough that you notice it's wavy.

Glasses are adorable, too.

..and strangely I have a thing for guys wearing converse.

And backs. Oh jesus backs are sexy.

And men who do sleight of hand.

And men who can pull off the newsboy cap in a way that doesn't make them look pretentious.

And men who immediately warm to animals.

Apparently I have a lot of these... :pac:

were you thinking about one person in particular when you typed this or just in general?

liah · 22-05-2009 10:11pm

Nope, was just in general, lol, or while thinking about a lot of random individuals, not necessarily ones I've had contact with though. :pac:

oh right cos i was wondering where you found this man!!! (i wanted him) haha

Otis Driftwood · 22-05-2009 10:53pm

An individual/quirky dress sense is very appealing.I used to work with a girl who was sort of hippyish/rock chick/business attired and she was absolutely adorable.Pity her fella was such a sound guy too.

Someone that knows cinema doesnt begin and end in Hollywood and that gets totally animated and excited when talking about a film they love is immensely attractive.

Quirkyness/dorkish sense of humour is also very cute.

I don't really talk during movies except to keep predicting what'll happen next which annoys people I go with

entropi · 24-05-2009 4:05am

So nothing here about athletic build redheads, with muscular legs, good manners and is trained in massage? *goes to sit in a dark corner*:( Seriously though, i am instantly drawn to a girl who just sounds genuinely nice...dunno how i can just sense it:P and redheads (smokin hot;)), someone that wont live in a tracksuit/pyjamas, non smokers and can "get" me. I can appreciate a woman in glasses too, the right frame combined with hairstyle can be almost too sexy!

"Now please............"
