The reason a girl finds a man EXTREMELY funny...note most of what he says isn't funny. We're just giggling because we're so smitten we go into fangirl mode, and EVERYTHING seems funny/wonderful/awesome from him. ;)

;)


that explains it all .... NT girls want a hot and successful man and not a clown. Girls go to this 'silly fangirl mode' and start giggling with the hot guy even he's a total bad joker.

As I said ...sense of humor is one of the things that women claim they care about in men but in fact they don't.

So don't focus too much on sense of humor Mw99 , it would be a waste of time .....just focus on a career and the skills that help to develop a career (the sense of humor is not one of them). Going to gym is not a bad idea to make a good body and develop self-confidence ...that if you can stand gym's people.

LePetitPrince - don't fall into the trap of assuming a tight stereotype...or the trap of confusing what women want and what women dream about ;) We dream about aforementioned hot, successful guys - but most of us are intelligent enough to know that they are good for flings only...they are the male equivalent of the hot, sexy, gorgeous girl in a miniskirt.

That all the guys want.

That sleeps with all the guys.





....yuck.



We all have different likes and dislikes in regards to men. This is why so many different guys get girlfriends, and why there are so many different kinds of guys. If everyone wanted one kind of man, then everyone else would have already been bred out by natural selection...but we have such a wonderful variety of human beings now...and almost all will find love at one stage or another.

Personally I find hot, sexy, successful men attractive but too overbearing. I wouldn't date one. I would know they've dated every other thing on two legs with a skirt...yuck.



Being the perfect guy... There is no such thing! Everyone searches for the perfect solution, the ideal equation...to be the perfect man to get girls. But let's not forget, there is no perfect woman that everyone can agree to here. Given a selection of five very different women, each with their fair share of positives and negatives, the guys here would fight over ALL of them, not just one particular babealicious specimen ;)

You'll see girls swooning over a handful of men (eg: Justin Timberlake, aka Trousersnake)...but while most of the population may like that, 1) it's because they're told to and 2) not all of us do, in fact I'd happily scrag him and leave him in shreds...can't stand him. BLUGH.

And you see the range of couples around...different colours, different interests, religions, races...different social stereotypes (eg: nerdy girl with a jock, geeky guy with a cheerleader)...no two couples are the same.

Essentially...'be the best you can be'. Don't be someone else. Because someone out there will find you irresistable - if you're a bit hairy, they won't care because they love your personality. If you're a bit fat, they may share your interests intensely and hence not care. If you're a bit boring to most people, they may wholeheartedly disagree.

A good example of pretending backfiring...episode of Sex and the City. One of the gals popped fake nipples into her bra to see what would hppen (they looked like they were standing to attention the whole time)...managed to snag a VERY interested man. As the story goes on, turns out he has a fetish with mother/baby relationships...wanted to be babied by her, etc. NOT cool in her opinion.

A rather bizarre example I know, but in different contexts it works the same way. Pretend to be something else, attract something you didn't intend to. Pretend to be a jock, and you might get stuck with some dopey cheerleader that ACTUALLY hates nerds and isn't sure what a computer is.

;) Just be the best YOU that you can be.

People say sometimes I tell funny jokes, but it hasn't helped me meet women. Being serious or funny really isn't the most determinant quality in attracting women.

^^it's not a determinant at all. It's just a minor plus.
They don't really want someone who makes them laugh, they just say that to make them seem like not quite so shallow people.

You seem to have women all figured out, Prince. Is that why you can't get a date? :?

I like if you're a guy who doesn't have a lot of flash, it helps to put yourself in a situation where you encounter a woman regularly. Your charms may be more subtle.

Being funny can be a double-edged sword. I can be funny but also very sarcastic which can be a turnoff.

And if you find a girl who shows she's attracted to you, don't take that likely. You don't get that many chances at romance in this life.
