Do guys like "nice" girls?

[Shell Beau]

Or do they like the trashy, skanky, can't take home to your mother type?

[Hosnon]

1. Yes

I imagine it depends on what the guy is looking for...

[IrateCitizen]

2. I like girls who appear to be "nice girls" on the surface...

... but who can be a "can't take home to mother type" under the right circumstances.

I consider myself lucky -- I married one like that!

[Shell Beau]

4. Good for you! I guess y'all have some fun times.

[Locrian]

8. I like girls who appear to be "trashy, skanky" on the surface...

... but who are actually take home to mother type.

;)

[Shell Beau]

10. Do they exist? Ha ha!

[Locrian]

13. Actually...

I knew quite a few "stippers with a heart of gold" that fit the picture.

[Shell Beau]

25. Well there you go. I didn't even think of that.

[northzax]

36. only in john hughes movies

[Dukkha]

64. I heard there are some

They live on an island with Santa Claus, The Tooth Fairy, The Easter Bunny, & Elvis.

[NNadir]

69. I married just such a woman myself. Wonderful isn't it?

[Champ]

3. I don't like girls I can walk all over

I want a woman who is mentally strong, doesn't pit up with shit, and has standards. I consider that nice as well but many men will consider that a "bitch"

[Shell Beau]

5. That sounds like me! I am pretty much that type!

Not bitchy though, there is a difference.

[Champ]

15. I understand that

Being a guy and growing up around guys, they prefer the type that they can easily fool, walk all over and submit to their unfair requests, put up with their asshole behavior, etc and when they hook up with a woman who is a very intelligent, smart, and attractive that won't put up with something she doesn't like, won't up with asshole behavior for long, and don't fool themselves into that "he will change" "he loves me" they automatically label her a "bitch" and all men should stay away from her. :)

on edit: not every guy prefers that type

[Shell Beau]

24. Well I grew up around 2 brothers and

I had to learn early that I had to be tough. I personally think it has helped me a lot. I don't understand why some people allow others to walk all over them. I guess it is something I'll never understand.

[tigereye]

42. well

Actually that sounds like self-esteem to me! :)

[Spider Jerusalem]

6. Somewhere in between...

but my most important criteria are: intelligent, independent, has a mind of her own and backbone...I find clingy, helpless women to be very off-putting.

[Shell Beau]

7. Sure, I would too if I were a guy. Clinginess is

annoying.

[leftofthedial]

9. they all have their uses

[Shell Beau]

11. No you didn't!

You went there, you better run and hide! ;-)

[leftofthedial]

16. it's much too late for hiding, I'm afraid

Why does the Lounge completely lose its sense of humor once the sun comes up?

Seriously, though, WRT to "nice girls" versus not-so-nice girls . . . variety is the spice of life. Besides, "nice" is in the, um, sensory receptors of the beholder.

[Shell Beau]

26. I try to keep my humor in tact! Always.

[Susang]

12. !

:popcorn:

[MrBenchley]

14. Try to build a tavern and not a temple with the lumber of your life

and remember, it's more fun to get ahead in life by tearing other people down...

[Shell Beau]

27. I don't have fun tearing people down. Did it sound like that?

I hope not!

[MrBenchley]

33. You ought to--it's fun!

Remember, you DO have to pet to be popular!

Just horsing around with cliches...

[Shell Beau]

37. Ahh! I got in late last night! I am a little slow today. Forgive me or

tear me to peices! :silly:

[MrBenchley]

50. That's okay

Feel better. Tomato juice helps if you're hungover.

[RedCloud]

17. I can't take any home to mom.

She'll start blabbing about how I was toilet trained at six months. Yeah, rubbing my nose in it was a great way to learn to stop...

When it comes to selecting gals, many guys are like those weather vanes...

[WCGreen]

18. I like girls who say yes.....

Seriously, I would perfer a good companion, whether she is sleezy, wicked and dirty or nice and composed......

Whatever. You know when you click and you know when you don't....

Circumstance really dictates a whole lot of what attracts you at any particular time....

If you only like one type of man or woman, boy are you winnowing down the field...

[GOPisEvil]

19. I like women I can be proud of, if that makes sense.

Skanks need not apply.

[Shell Beau]

28. Well there goes a lot of women!

:evilgrin:

[GOPisEvil]

30. I've never lied about being selective.

Are you saying I should lower my standards? :P

Also...there is a large variety of things I can be proud of. :evilgrin:

[Shell Beau]

32. Large, eh?

:spank:

[u4ic]

70. Don't forget us old ladies!

:bounce:

[GOPisEvil]

77. Never!!

:hi:

Let me edit this by saying I hope you are doing well. I've missed seeing you around lately.

[u4ic]

82. Heya hon!

awww...I feel so :loveya:ed

I'm ok, and I hope you are, too.

[4_Legs_Good]

20. I like them all!!

Oh my yes...

david

[sakabatou]

21. Yes, but they can't be overly... nice.

[Taverner]

22. Any woman who is an anarchist and libertine at heart

is gold in my book

[Shell Beau]

29. When I read it quickly ,I thought

your post said any woman who is an antichrist. :crazy:

[Taverner]

38. Hmmmm I did date a few which I checked for the 666 marking afterwards

But I can't say they were good dates as a whole...

[Shell Beau]

40. Yeah, just be aware of the mark of the beast!

:evilgrin:

[bicentennial_baby]

44. are you talking about me again?

my ears were burning... :P

btw, have you picked up 'Chomsky on Anarchism' yet? Wicked good. :thumbsup:

[Taverner]

47. Loves me some Chomsky

Loved "Manufacturing Consent" - was kinda my bible in Grad school...

[m_welby]

23. Get a clue!! GUYS LIKE GIRLS!!, nice girls, bad girls, the ...

operative word here is GIRLS. If she's breathing and talking to us then we like her.

Men are not complex creatures you know.

[Shell Beau]

31. Finally, it has been confirmed!

[pdx_prog]

34. I like ALL girls / women / females....:)

[Left_Winger]

35. I prefer honest women

The last one I was involved with neglected to tell me that she was married.

[Shell Beau]

55. It may have been helpful to know that!

[Left_Winger]

57. Luckily for me I did not have to find out the hard way

jealous husband, etc.

I began to have suspicions when she only wanted to see me at certain times and places, etc. So, I came right out and asked her, "Are you married or something?" She hemmed and hawed, then finally admitted it. At that point I said, "good by".

[Shell Beau]

59. Some people really have some nerve, I tell ya!

[Left_Winger]

63. As we say down south: "Ain't that the truth!"

[Shell Beau]

65. You bet! I hear that!

[Zomby Woof]

39. I don't like girls

I like women. And I love the one woman in my life who is not only nice (too bland a word, she is much more, actually), but super-intelligent, courageous, funny, generous, and beautiful.

Yes, I have it made. :bounce:

[tigereye]

43. ah, thank you

most of us are women, after all.

[Shell Beau]

46. Well this was a play on the "bad boy, nice boy" threads.

I, too, am a woman!! woo hoo!

[Zomby Woof]

56. I know

But using the term "girl" sounds condescending and not a little bit sexist. :-) Just trying to offset some of the morans.

[DS1]

41. They have to be smart. Even the hottest girl would become a ball n chain

if she couldn't hold a decent conversation, solve simple problems, etc. Smart and hot, good combination. :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

54. Correct!

[tigereye]

45. but shell

those dichotomies, like "nice" vs. "skanky" are part of the problem. Most of us are a little of both!

[Shell Beau]

48. I know, and I can't believe no one is saying that they

like a combo! We all have a little bad in us!

[tjdee]

49. They like hot girls.

If she's got what they think to be a cute face, or a great body, or both, much else doesn't matter. They'll deal with the attitude, or lack of personality, or any faults, as byproducts.

If they luck out and get a girl who's smart, got a great personality....they marry her or date her long term.

And beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don't think anybody dates someone they find unattractive.

[sir_captain]

58. I'm not saying you're wrong

but it is true that if the genders in your post were reversed, there'd be a huge flamewar.

That said, I pretty much agree with you.

[tjdee]

66. That's because reversing genders in my post would make the post invalid

LOL!

Like I said in another thread, one day I will write the book on "Women don't care about looks as much as men".

They just don't. Men are more visual than women, I'm pretty sure that's a proven fact.

[sir_captain]

76. You took me too literally

I meant that if a male DUer made as sweeping a judgement of women as you did about men, they'd be yelled at a lot, for right or for wrong.

But yes, without doubt, men are more visual creatures.

[Wetzelbill]

51. Give me an intelligent, creative woman who is a decent person

any day of the week! I prefer women my height, as I am short, but I don't have a litmus. No need to be gorgeous or anything, in the typical misogynistic way. "Average" looking women are actually still pretty damn good looking, I don't understand the harshness of the beauty standards that women have to deal with. I find most women to be pretty attractive, then even more so once I get to know them a little. I'd be willing to give pretty much any woman a shot, providing they are a decent person with something going for them.

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

52. The two things that would most put me off about a woman are

neediness to an extreme. Everybody is needy in someway but I couldn't put up with someone who wouldn't know what to do with themselves if they didn't have someone to depend on.

She's a Republican. Call it closed minded but I couldn't imagine spending any considerable amount of time with a hardcore right winger.

[LaurenG]

53. I'm going with the second one. nt

[Chicago Democrat]

60. Both kinds....

in one package is best...


Nice for mom and church and neighbors

Nasty for the bedroom

[redqueen]

61. Why do we insist on trying to label everyone?

Is anyone really THAT one-dimensional? Really?

[jmm]

62. I'm never disappointed when a man who wants a skank

isn't into me.

Most of the women I've known who throw themselves at men do it with the expectation that they can use sex to bait them into something serious. Of course the last thing most men who go for them want is something serious.

[Wetzelbill]

67. and you shouldn't be

You're worth more than that, you know? A good woman shouldn't sacrifice anything in that regard. If you're a good catch, have some things going for you, well, then you'll have your chance at love with someone who will be good for you in the end anyway.

One thing I would like to add, I know women who don't necessarily use sex in the manner in which you described. I see a good amount of women who use sex as a way of seeking approval, as a form of intimacy from someone who isn't all that intimate. As a way to get male attention that they feel they need. Most of my closest male friends -and one of my brothers- have all been promiscuous, to a sickening degree in my opinion. I know guys who have slept with well over a hundred women each. And, in a lot of instances I watched women simply seek approval or intimacy from them. Not necessarily to trap, maybe in some cases, but I just think there are a lot of factors going on there. As is they felt the only way to get their attention was through sex so they used that as a way to get what they felt they needed. Tough to explain, I'm not sure if I'm making much sense about this.

[Hardrada]

68. Damn!!!

I'm way behind. :(

[Wetzelbill]

71. I don't think you want to be that far ahead

I know guys who have completely lost the ability to even know what love is. The only see women as sex toys. I'm not talking about women you would be interested in having anything with either. I mean just sleeping with anything. Pick up some drunk woman at a bar, not know her name, take her out parked in an alley somewhere. It's not good at all.

Just get a good woman that you can love and are compatible with. If you are lucky enough to find a few good relationships in your life, than you're doing pretty well for yourself.

[Hardrada]

73. I agree with you entirely and am a romantic at heart.

I was just doing my horny teenage jerk impression!!

[Wetzelbill]

75. we all do that impression from time to time

:)

[mac56]

72. Yes on the nice girls.

"Nice" equals one who is smart, empathetic, fair minded, and acts with integrity. And yes, one you can take home to mother and father.

I married just such a woman.

[Shakeydave]

74. Married one!!!!!

Sixteen years and still rolling!

[JVS]

78. I think both varieties are nice

[swag]

79. I don't care. There are so many who have appealing qualities.

Happy to know girls.

[Redstone]

80. Both. Or either. I judge people individually.

Redstone

[Wapsie B]

81. No nice girls for me.

Skanky women all the way!

:sarcasm:


:hide:

[Hardrada]

83. There's a song in The Music Man

about this:


"The older and wiser girl for me...."


Blessings on Meredith Willson.

[LRSU_Ghost]

84. Genuine nice... I like n/t
