Ask a Girl / Ask a Guy
 
Ever wonder what the opposite sex is thinking?


Girl: Do I look fat in this?
Guy: huh? *panic!!!!*

Girl really might mean "Do you still find me attractive?"


Girl: I was beginning to wonder if you still loved me, you haven't been around much.
Guy: I dunno...maybe we should stop seeing each other
Girl: what? why?? *OMG he has another girlfriend somewhere*

Guy actually might mean "I can see I'm not making you happy...you deserve to be happy, even if it's not with me



Before you panic and say or do something you might regret....ask for an interpretation!!! Can't hurt :D

does that mean we have to hire an interpreter when we go out on a date?...:|

Theoretically, eunuchs and hermaphrodites work best. :lol:

See, I never have this problem. I make it known right from the get-go that I don't like anything being hidden from me, be it thoughts or feelings of any nature. If she's going to think something that should be said, she better say it or don't bother with the attempt in trying to get me to pry it out of her skull.

Do girls actually give a damn about guys who are sensitive and caring in this world, or do they just look at the guy's appearance and not think past that initially?

Yeah, it sucks being the quiet gamer guy.

Ra 09-07-2006 06:20 AM

It depends if the girl is shallow or not, I guess. I mean, one would go out for a one-night stand on apparence just so then they can live out their fantesy of sleeping with a guy who has the chizzled looks of a Greek god, while other people wouldn't really give a damn about apperances and just want to get to know the guy better. Others want both looks and sensitivity.

To be blunt, girls are very demanding :evilgrin:

Katie 09-07-2006 11:03 AM

for me, Looks don't mean a damn thing. I had a relationship once when i was younger with the "Ken Doll" type. I was dazzled and amazed that a guy like him would choose to be ith me....but turned out he was also dating 7 other girls or something like that. Boy was that a slap in the face. My self esteem dropped to zero. why wasn't I good enough? That taught me to look deeper in someone.

But know what? I AM good enough! My ideal man is someone who really loves me how I am and treats me like the most important and cherished woman there ever was. I could care less what he looks like.

Jo Dawn 09-07-2006 12:10 PM

I hate the 'Ken doll' look. I think Brad Pitt is ugly. It's not for me.

I was going to say that looks don't matter to me, but let's be honest... Everyone has preferences. Looks may not have as BIG an effect, but there are always preferences.

They matter little to me, aside from the fact that I prefer... *ahem*...

Not too buff. I like a little tummy.
GLASSES, GLASSES, GLASSES!! (hehe)
Moustaches are quite nice, as are beards.
Iiiiiiii pretty much love a geeky look. Studious, kind. Hehe.

Personality is most important to me, actually. Their hearts, their minds...

All that good stuff. :)

XERO 09-07-2006 12:17 PM

I would give you ladies my number but...:P

Yeah, I have my preferences, too, but it all goes down to the person inside. If I like being with you, that's all it takes. The rest will fall into place.:)

No way! It totally rocks!

Katie 09-07-2006 12:43 PM

heheh I like a guy to be "fluffy" too, JD. nothing is more of a turn off to me than skinny muscley guys...ewwww.

Luckily, I found someone who fits my ideal pretty well :D


Now, one of my girlfriends....she's going through it and for the life of me I can't read this guy and what he's thinking....maybe you guys can help me.

When they are together, everything seems to be good (mind you I am looking at them from the outside and mainly going on what she tells me) he is loving and attentive to the point that if you are a diabetic, you should stay away. But she also tells me that sometimes he suggests she is better off with someone else...then will go missing for a few days claiming to be busy. He always comes back to her (they live pretty close to one another in the town I grew up in and are planning to get married. I think this may just be pre-wedding jitters) She broke up with him a couple times, he got really upset and spent HOURS at my apartment begging me to get her to take him back.

I dunno....Low self esteem or something else? I can't decide. She asked me what I think and i honestly can't tell.

Sewer Bull 09-07-2006 02:06 PM

No one loves heavy drinkers and chain smokers.

愛 09-07-2006 02:37 PM

I'm half convinced that I will probably never find someone. People love to tell me otherwise, but it's so easy for them to say that because they've had luck in the world of love. Believe me, I've tried many times, and it's been a mixed bag of failure. I've asked out lesbians when I didn't even know, I've been told she doesn't want to ruin our friendship, I've been laughed at by girls, and the list goes on. Patience? I've kinda run out of it.

Video games never cheat on you, and neither does your hand.

Barkworm 09-07-2006 02:58 PM

When I'm really drunk I dance with my friends' girlfriends. That's pretty much all I've been getting lately. :lol:

He's a drama king. That should be self-explanatory. He insists on believing he is literally too good to be true and rejects himself for it. That's my guess. I used to have something like that.

Katie 09-08-2006 10:18 AM

Yeah, gobo, he is definitely that. My friend is dead set on him, though. she even got herself pregnant by him to make him "have" to stay. She's a drama queen too, so I guess they go together well in the end.

I've been thinking about this and I think I'd like the guys to answer up onthis in regards to the women they prefer.

When I was dating I had a hard time not being seen as the friend girl because I like "guy" things...I'm short and dark haired...smart...and not a supermodel thin girl. And when I stumbled back into the dating world again a couple years ago, things were worse. I used to sit for hours alone while guys drooled over size zero blonde airhead girls whose boobs were bigger than their brains.

so, guys...Is there hope for all the regular girls out there? Or do you all continually look for the model?

Oh, geez... Don't let her guilt him into staying. That's how to turn a good thing bad. He'll lose respect for her that way. Now that cause for him to stay exists, let him decide on his own to stay. If he has a conscience, he will make the noble decision and gain more respect for her.

Too many are all talk and no sincerity. A bad habit I had and I assume many guys have had is putting all women on a pedestal. That makes special treatment no longer all that special. But, most women are in fact human. All humans would like to have a physically attractive mate whether they admit it or not. Some form a grudge against pretty people. Some want nothing other than pretty people. Some just think that it isn't worth the effort. But, appearance is the initial attraction in any case whether we're talking fashion, behavior, features, etc. Unfortunately, I haven't found the women that recognize the good guys without them pointing themselves out (though we we'd rather stay modest), but I'm fairly certain I keep looking in the wrong places. :ohwell:

CONCERNED GIRL: Don't worry. You'll find her someday.
GOOD GUY: Might it be you?
CONCERNED GIRL: (in horror) Uh... You wouldn't like me! I promise!!
~ How that's her decision to make is beyond me, but I've had similar conversations too often.

Models need love too! :x All humans would like to have a physically attractive mate whether they admit it or not. I realize looks aren't everything, but I think most guys would like to have a girlfriend who is a knockout at least once in their life no matter how unlikely it may be. If given a guarantee of a swimwear model who is a royal biznitch or a sweet-heart with a good head on her not-so-pretty shoulders, I'd definately take the latter because I'd be set for life with the last woman I'd ever want to date. But, I'm guaranteed neither. After I've had a looker in my life at least once, I'll probably care less for pretty ladies in the future. But, to be fair, I should be allowed to make my own mistake, just like you did. Also, there is such a thing as being too pretty. Sometimes, it makes a lady too much to look after. More than likely, it won't happen anyway. So, for $60 a month, eHarmony better be worth it! :P

P.S. - Big boobs are gaudy. No offense to well-endowed sweet-hearts, but they intimidate me.

Go ask Stormy and see what she thinks. :)

I like "regular" girls. Quite frankly, I find them to be the most interesting of the entire species.

From my standpoint, I think models are overrated. Their general appearance is as if Olive Oyl hit Prada. I, for one, do not find it an enticing concept to make love to a mic stand.

With or without the mic? :P

Katie 09-09-2006 04:57 PM

I was lucky enough to find someone who likes me just the way I am....but it still makes me mad when I see guys hovering over some bimbo when I'm out. Oh well...
