Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1585 Joined: 5 May 2008     | I believe there was a topic about this already, that Labyrinth created. I could be wrong though. Anyone not too lazy to do a search can check this if they wish. In any case, I have fairly low standards. Looks really don't matter all that much to me as long as she isn't overly fat and at least resembles a human being. As for turn ons, I like tattoos and piercings, the more the better. Turn offs, stupidity, ignorance and sexism (any girl who complains about all men being assholes/stupid is no longer worthy of my attention). |

I looked for a previous topic, but I couldn't find one. It's not like I scoured(SP?) the forums though. Looks aren't the biggest thing for me. More of added bonuses. Like you I at least prefer her to not look like she took on the ugly stick in a fight. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1678 Joined: 7 Feb 2008    | It's all about the whole package to me. Some things look more attractive with others. I really do prefer a nice butt over nice boobs. I really like the shorter girls too, but that's not a necessity. I actually prefer a little bit of chubbiness in my women. I find the skinny types to be a bit appalling. That healthy layer of fat is a real turn-on for me actually. Women can be curvy and attractive while having that healthy chub. As for my non-physical tastes I like my women with a sense of humor. I like the layed back and easy going types. Huger plus for gamer chicks. I've never had the privilege of dating a gamer girl, unfortunately. I knew one I was interested in but she turned me down. All she really did was ask me to come over whenever she needed me to fix her PC. I think next time I'll just refuse and say I'm busy. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2055 Joined: 23 Feb 2008    | Yeah, I'm definitely getting a sense of Deja Vu here, but regardless, I care way more about personality than anything else. I like a girl that is sweet, kind, and shy. I find that adorable. In terms of physical attributes, though. I like a short girl with medium sized boobs (big boobs intimidate me. A B cup is all I want). Also, Asian if possible. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3104 Joined: 28 May 2008   | Yes I'm pretty sure this has been done before but so hell, it's better than most of the repeat topics. As far as looks go my standards aren't too high, so long as they don't look like they've just crawled out of a car wreck, because well, lets face it I'm no Brad Pitt myself. I just look for somebody I can have a good conversation with and has a good sense of humour. They could be a supermodel/pornstar/millionaire but if they were incredibly boring I wouldn't be able to put up with them....for very long....OK maybe I would. But I wouldn't enjoy it! Physically I tend to like women shorter than me (which isn't too hard) and that have some curves. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 891 Joined: 21 Dec 2007  | Telling the truth although I'm not very superficial, there is a cutoff point somewhere between plain and Yeti. I have too open standards, I quickly become slightly infatuated with anyone, kind like a moth flittering between a bunch of lights. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2536 Joined: 29 Mar 2008  | if history is anything to go by, i love psychotic women who treat me like a doormat. essentially ladies in need of "saving" ie personal crisies, addictions, depression, ect. I have been able to curve it recently however and yet i remain dateless... |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1890 Joined: 9 Sep 2008    | Shorter, smaller, cuter and colder. For some reason, I can't feel comfortable with a girl with a higher body temperature than me. Also have a thing for girls smarter than me. Asian is a plus, but that seems to be par for the course in nerd land. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 392 Joined: 7 Mar 2008    | I need a guy who is taller than me, couldnt stand anyone shorter than me. also, they have to have a nice face, I dont mind if they are ugly but if their face is just weird, no. and clean, clean is important, also, no drugs... |

Cleanliness is definitely a factor for me. Showering isn't that hard. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1549 Joined: 13 Oct 2008  | Size 6 or less for me...I know, it's chauvanistic, but oh well. That and she's gotta have a pretty face, good hips, be incredibly funny, be smart but not too smart, can cook well, speaks a foreign language or english is her second language, and most importantly, pushes me to do things that I wouldn't do normally... |

Geeks, oktaku and metalheads get a +3 to CHa checks, +10 if all three, instant engagement if all three and the aforementioned preferences. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 648 Joined: 9 Oct 2008    | I like a woman who is not dingy. I like a fairly intelligent woman. Looks are not completely important for me, but I still want to be attracted to her looks wise. I like to have a woman who is as tall as I am but it's not important (and hard to find since I'm 6 foot 2). Skinny but not toothpick, laughable, no drugs, clean, and I think that covers it. Any girls in here off Chance? |

It's not chauvanistic if it's authentically you. The issue of looks is this: looks SHOULD MATTER to you to the degree to which you--and the person you are dating--want to be physically turned on by the other person. Now, this has nothing to do with how good looking the person is to other people--if you like big butts and you cannot lie, you don't care if other brothers can deny. However, we all have undeniable, physical reactions to other people. If the way they look plays a necessary part in that reaction, and that reaction is important to the two of you, then that reaction should be just as important. It's actually unfair to get into a relationship with a person if you respect their brain but aren't turned on by their body if they want to feel physically desired. Now, if their brain turns you on, that's a different story. However, only you know how much you need to be turned on by a person's raw looks. And it's not shallow to filter out people on that basis, on the basis that that you won't be able to make feel like they're physically desired--it's actually kind and responsible. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1890 Joined: 9 Sep 2008 | Looks are always important, but fret not if you cannot find someone. There will always be someone as ugly as you are desperate and alcohol can do wonders for the soul/eyes. |

I never thought about that. I always figured that people wanted to be liked for their personality, but I guess that's what we're taught as we grow up so we wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings. I suppose it would be pretty disappointing if someone only liked you because of your personality and wasn't physically attracted to you. |

I think you're right--we're taught so much about how it's what's on the inside that counts, that we forget that in a few situations...it's very much what's on the outside that counts, and that's okay. I also think it's because we have this distrust of the body and the pleasures it offers. We want to believe that pair-bonding is all about personality because of how important pair-bonding is, and how everyone deserves to be loved. In the process, we forget that pair-bonding has a lot to do with physical desire, a lot to do with the pleasures the body has to offer us. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 151 Joined: 27 Oct 2008     | For me, the biggest turn on for me in a girl is knowing how to think. Let me clarify: I mean, taking the time to consider things she's heard, then makes a intelligent, logical opinion. I've seen several girls at school who overreact to so many damn things so damn quickly that I find it unbearable(my mother does this too, and I hate it). If a girl can keep her cool, and not jump to any impulsive, ignorant conclusions, then she's automatically a #1 in my book. Intelligence is very important to me. Its makes all the better when a smart girl chooses you instead of a cover model with nothing to his name but looks and money, and you can spend the whole night with her having an intelligent conversation. Aside from that, I'm going to go against what many men here have said, and say that a girl my height is more for me. I'm a little over 6-feet, but still, I don't like looking down all that much on someone. Also, tall girls normally have long, sexy legs :P I agree with the guy who said big eyes. I too, love big eyes. I also like long hair. Short hair is fine, but it has to look good on her. Size wise, I guess a girl whose at least a bit cautious about their health and weight, as I am trying to be more like. One who may have a bit of chub, but nothing that goes towards unhealthy. Also, skinny anorexics kinda scare me. However, if they're healthy through things like martial arts, then she's immediately got my attention. Personality wise, a sense of humor is of course important, but a wide, appreciative sense is best. If she's not a big fan of games, film, animation, manga and whatnot, I really don't mind as long they tolerate my appreciation without hostility. If she doesn't cook, that's fine, I like to cook, and I predict that I might be the cook of the relationship. Of course she'd be easy-going and doesn't take too many things too seriously. Again, takes the time to think about what's important. As you can see, I've had a lot of time to think about this. |

Paperboy  Posts: 38 Joined: 8 Dec 2008  | usually a girl next door kinda look, she has to be awesome though and put up with all the hijinks I try to get into. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1664 Joined: 31 Mar 2008    | As far as physical appearance goes, there are really two things I pay attention to: hair color and the eyes. As far as the first goes I have a preference for brunettes. Concerning the second the eyes are usually the first things I look at in any person. If the girl's eyes are something bright like blue or green I find myself getting lost in them. Most often than not I end up going for the artsy punkish girls. Superficial stuff aside, it mainly comes down to personality. Being able to put up with my bullshit is a huge factor, but besides that it comes down to things like her sense of humor, overall attitude and the fact that she understands me. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3335 Joined: 8 May 2008    | You do realise most the people on this forum have never even kissed a girl so would take anything they can get... hell most of them are at the point of paying for it. XD Anyway I dont care overly much as long as they have decent personalities but I do favour 5'4" redheads with green eyes, DDs and a ass to match. I like em curvy so stick figures need not apply. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2633 Joined: 30 Sep 2008   |
You think therefore you am. I like redheads, my height, with freckles. |

All that first part, skip the curving bit, move on to the dateless part, and that's me right there. |

Since there's a topic about dating tips I thought I would make one about dating standards.
So the question I'm asking the members of The Escapist is;(sorry for butchering that punctuation mark) What are your standards for a significant other?
Generally I prefer a girl who is shorter than me. I have a weird attraction to red hair and personality is important. I'm a sucker for big eyes, especially eyes that often imitate a puppy's eyes. I usually don't lower or raise my standards, but sometimes I'm subject to peer pressure. I can't stand smoking so that's a definite turn-off. I also prefer someone who is generally kind and is fairly intelligent. And just to keep this post completely honest, "I LIKE BEWBS!"
EDIT: Fixed so that those of varying sexual orientation may post.
