What 'type' do you attract. - Page 3 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Mugzy6 · 07-03-2005, 07:22 PM

Hmmm...this is tough. The guys I've dated have been very different personalitywise. The one thing though that they tend to have in common is that they're sensitive. I don't exactly know how to explain it. They're also a good 6 inches taller than me, so physically I guess tall guys are attracted to me. I'm rather small, so I guess I attract the kind of guy that wants to feel like he's protecting a girl.

A real mixed bag at this end.

Look I tend to exclude women who are too ambiguous from my scope. I have other things to do than mess around trying to figure a woman out. And I've avoided getting to know anyone who's clearly drunk, very young, in another relationship, chatting with all the guys or a crappy conversationalist.

And having done that... yeah it's still a mixed bag. Overall I'd say that I've rarely met shy girls. My theory is that they shy girls often end up besotted with the dedicated players at least in their first few relationships. And ditto I think for the guys... if we're not particularly outgoing or "competitive" in conversation at parties - we tend to get more hookups with "experienced" or relatively outgoing women. That's in the initial adult years.

Just a theory.

Oh, fun question. Half the value of these forums is the conversational ideas i carry with me to the people i meet "offline".

Girls that have talked with me a bit refer to me as "fun, crazy, naughty, mean, sweet, and romantic". I flirt and tease alot, so seem to attract a number of different types, but usually they are academics, artists, attention-starved girlfriends (have attracted alot of those the last few years, which is flattering but troublesome), wolves in sheep's clothing, and/or girls looking for stability. The ones I go for are usually "good girls" who enjoy flaunting their naughty sides, and who have sharp minds, plus are fun loving.

I used to attract the Women In Black. Eventually married one. I was rarely a MIB, but the WIB's just seemed to like me. Maybe I was more MIB than I thought I was...

I don't attract women. I repel women. Maybe I need to change my deoderant.

serlindsipity · 10-26-2005, 08:34 AM

I usually attract men who want to boink - and then bounce. I want the 'nerdy' type. There are two reasons I never attract the "right" type. 1. Is because nerds are too intimidated to come up to me. 2. Is because nerds (somewhat intellegent people)(I live on Stanford campus) assume that an attractive female most likely won't have anything in her head except for air.

Gimme a chance guys!

I'm tired of the people who have never put any thought into the reason for life, living, speaking correctly, spirituality, religion, politics, music, love, etc.
Can you believe I have met people who have never considered those things!

hambone · 10-26-2005, 09:01 AM

I never really thought I attracted women....and still don't really. If pressed to choose it would be those who have been screwed over by bastard guys in the past. I consider myself a very "nice" guy and I actually care about the people themselves.

Though I don't know what level of attraction ever existed there, these are the girls that seem to always say things along the lines of "Why can't I meet someone more like you".

I think its cause I listen.

Carno · 10-26-2005, 12:44 PM

I don't really attract women either.

Most of the time I say to myself, "I want to date her." And then I either do or I go down in flames (usually the latter). Girls never come up to me or let it be known that they are attracted to me.

HoneyPot · 10-26-2005, 02:16 PM

I tend to attract the 'I'm ready to settle down and have 10 kids type'. I hate that. I will always go for bad boys... I don't know what it is. I also have tendency to attract the occasional computer geek... In my eyes all I see out of these guys is CHA-CHING!! haha j/k

Smuggle yourself into the engineer portion of the school. find some round-a-bout way to have to spend time in there, and dress down and youre golden. when youre on their turf anything is possible (trust me, it worked for me).

HalcyonDaze · 10-28-2005, 11:01 AM

I attract all kinds of girls, but not all of any kind of girl.

In the last several years I've gone from a suicidal emotional girl to a preppy, popular bottle-blonde girl, to a glitter-goth (you know, wants to be goth, but she's really wearing an Ashley Simpson shirt that says "punk" on it), and am now dating a pretty, down-to-earth, sensible girl.

Thing is, though, it's not like ALL preps, or ALL glitter-goths are into me. It all seems pretty random.

OzOz · 10-30-2005, 01:21 AM

Imaginary or far away. Never right here, right now.

FoolThemAll · 10-30-2005, 09:52 AM

I'm not sure if there's any unifying characteristic of those I attract.

But they're never the type I'm attracted to.

I think #2 is likely a small percentage of the problem, I think the biggest factor is #1... you're insanely attractive, and that makes some guys feel insecure, hesitant, and "sure she's taken"... that and someone as pretty as you makes some of us nervous just to stand near, let alone have a meaningful conversation. You may want to have a nice talk while taking a stroll somewhere, but all we can do is manage to mutter something about twinkies or lint.

As for me, I don't attract much to me... I usually have to get to know a girl a little, but then they fall in love with me quickly... and it's been that way with every girl i've been with... as soon as any meaningful interaction starts, they're already in love with me. *shrug* I'd rather attract women and take some time to work into love, because this makes finding good girls way harder.

That and, while i'm incredibly outgoing and social, I have ZERO ability to just walk up to a girl and start talking. I just can't.

Val_1 · 10-31-2005, 12:06 PM

Well, I DON'T attract anyone that I'm attracted to, apparently. That, or they're all playing hard to get.
