What do you look for in the opposite sex?

[gtmtnbiker]

I should say that when I started college, I thought I was doomed. Then I joined the science fiction/fantasy club, made 90% of my friends there, developed a crush on someone while playing D&D, and wound up marrying him. It was great.

Man, that must have been like shooting fish in a barrel. You have an interest in a hobby where there were the male to female ratio is very high. When I was single, I would like for similar opportunities which is why I took cooking classes (I do enjoy cooking), single events like dinners, etc where there was a high ratio of women to men.

I met my wife at a party that I went to with a friend. At first, I was going to decline the invitation because it was BYOB (Bring your own booze). I mean, man, that's lame, who would have a party and force you to bring your own stuff? But I went anyway and it was awesome because it was 70% women, 30% guys. The guy hosting the party knew a lot of women through his involvement with non-profit organizations. So afterwards, I was like, this guy can throw a BYOB party any time and I'll definitely attend.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING

That was a nice video. Always good to see open minded people like that. Mutilation is pretty horrible and it really should stop, especially to babies who have no say in the matter.

If you are old enough to properly decide to mutilate yourself, that's fine. Just stop doing it to defenseless babies. I am honestly blown away how it's not illegal to mutilate a baby's penis.

Ahmen brother!

There were definitely more men than women in the sci-fi/fantasy club, but gender distinctions were less important than you might expect. Our shared geekiness overrode a lot of categories that might otherwise split groups into separate camps (race, gender, etcetera); we were just a motley group of misfits who were thrilled to have found like-minded people, and when romantic relationships blossomed it was less about finding a yin to your yang as it was about falling for a comrade.

What I sometimes noticed in college guys who didn't identify as nerds was their desire to pursue a woman who didn't have a lot of knowledge regarding their interests. They wanted to be responsible for introducing a lady to new things, teaching her stuff, and expanding her horizons.

It's been really interesting reading what all of you dudes have to say about this topic, by the way.

When I was dating I was never looking for anything in particluar physically. Matching on a ethics/philosophical level was much more important and someone who could understand, or at least tolerate, my bizarre humor was another must. Physically the only large turn off was tattoos, I don't know what it is but tattoos do absolutely nothing for me.

I was about to go make a topic on that one day, but now that you mentioned tattoos, I don't like that for some reason, it's like you mark yourself. I don't want to alienate anybody but when I see women with those butterfly tattoos on their ankles or feet, it repels me.

I think tattoos are pretty sexy if done tastefully and in moderation, especially if it's somewhere only I would get to see it

When someone is covered in them though, then she kind of looks like a freak to me and that's not attractive. When a girl has too many tattoos, it somehow makes her seem less feminine to me.

Someone mentioned makeup, I love a woman who has natural beauty, but I don't have a problem with her accentuating it. I don't mind a little makeup on someone if she doesn't overdue it.

I'll tell you thing that is an immediate turnoff, a woman who is always on the phone or texting. Though, I feel that way about people in general. Hello? Would like to join us in the real world and put your little device down for a moment. I especially hate the ones who always do that while driving

I dig small tattoos in moderation myself on some girls. On the foot, or on the back of the neck is extremely sexy to me for some reason, as long as they're kind of small and not crazy. But yeah nothing too extreme.

I prefer bit nerdy girl, like most here. If I can talk to her about electronics and games and stuff, it's huge relief. I'm not obsessed in them, but it's hard to have relationship if both can't talk about own interests without the other understanding one bit. I'm totally open to any interest she has and keen to learn about them. I also wouldn't mind if she plays a musical instrument, and can tolerate jazz and classical.

Definitely would like someone who is more of a friend, than something pretty that lives in my house. I couldn't live in relationship where we can't connect deeply on mental level.

Physically speaking, I like pretty eyes and delicate hands. Some women have so mesmerizing eyes they mess up my thinking completely. Rest don't really matter. Plastic surgeries, tattoos, overdone make-up, piercings, slutty clothing, died hair don't really appeal to me. Au naturel with reasonable beautification is welcome. Worst is lower back tramp stamp, no worse turn-off exists. It's like telling everyone may not any nice guy ever come close to me.
