What Boys Look For In A Girl
Out of the following options:
1. stylishwhat is the top thing you look for in a girl you want to date? (If you're not into girls, then try to answer the question based on what you think people who are into girls would say.) Five of these were the top five choices that one hundred Tokyo high school girls answered with when asked the question, "What do you think is the #1 thing that boys care about in a girl?" Pick only one. I don't want justifications for a list five items long. The point is to choose only one item out of this list -- the item that matters most to you!

Number 4 because the rest doesn't matter if she's dull and boring.

I'd also say 4.
Although the real answer is of course "Willing to look past the staggering emotional and mental problems I have" |

I do wonder what those 100 Japanese school girls tought though. If we're going by manga stereotyping it would be 6, 7, 15 and 12. But what real girls think about what boys think? I'm somewhat curious.

#7
I've had this discussion with BPK before, but I'm at the age now where the outcome of my children is more important than my own personal preference in a girl. Humans have a lot of brain invested in visual acuity, so good looks are the absolute gateway into any of the other features. Talon's response is actually kind of funny, because I haven't forgotten his "kiss your fugly mug at the end of the aisle" comment and his vote here clashes with that!

#4
Paired up with #12 and #7 is also good, but #4 is the choice. Reason is, I don't actually care much by the other options, except #7, but even so, it's down there in question of how it matters to me.

The real question is what women look for in men.

And that I never gave a thought to this. I'd say a romantic man, but that seems... How I say, cliche.

Kind of related, but I read a humorous thread on Yotsuba a while back where someone asked "do women really compare breast size?" and "what is the male equivalent". Most of the answers were "men compare wang size" which is obviously wrong, but the self-identified females said that while they don't compare breasts, they do discuss "faces".
Intuitively, this makes sense. A good face is genetic, while say weight or personality can be controlled somewhat. Remember Gwenth Paltrow in Shallow Hal? Even with the extreme make-up, you can still get the impression she has a good face. Thus, hypothetically, if she were to lose weight and get a thin figure, she would look gorgeous. There's been a fairly recent example too where an obese military wife lost weight for her husband. Spoiler: show The girl has a cute face, especially in #2. For the purpose of children, that's the most important part (hence my justification for #7). Although most guys would be thrilled with #3 and #4 anyway, especially if they were already married to that lady!

This is going to be one of those cases where people are a hell of a lot less likely to answer 100% truthfully thanks to their answers not being anonymous and there being some fear of being judged.
That said, I also feel that picking one thing isn't really possible. Like, yeah, being amusing is awesome and all, but if you're not also considerate then do please fuck off, though I would obviously rank the former over the latter. Narrowing things down to a single trait doesn't typically work out wonderfully. |

This thread is partially an exercise in making difficult decisions. I don't want that exercise to be derailed by people disregarding the rules. If it kills you to only have to choose one of the listed entities, then please feel free to provide an explanation for your selection -- as lengthy as you need it to be -- inside of a spoiler box after your vote.

That's hard but seeing as I have to choose 1, I say #14.

I'm going to be shallow and pick #7: good looks. In reaching this selection, I imagined possible scenarios where I might date a girl who only possessed ONE out of all of those traits, and the only scenario I could see myself dating her is if she had nothing but good looks. It certainly wouldn't be ideal, and there's no way I'd ever want to pursue a serious relationship with her, but I might go for it just for the sake of satisfying primal male urges. I wouldn't be able to get past the non-physical attraction in the other cases, no matter how great she was. To adapt Talon's legendary quote, I can't imagine myself ever dating a girl if I have to picture myself kissing her fugly mug on the front porch after I drop her off.
That said, I don't have particularly high standards for beauty. As long as they are attractive enough for me to be, well, attracted to her, that's good enough, and any additional beauty beyond that is just gravy and becomes less important than personality traits. I'd much rather date a moderately attractive girl who has lots of feminine charm than a vapid, obnoxious supermodel. If I was rich I would never dream of getting a trophy wife. In summary: Good looks are the only trait out of the 15 that I literally can't go without, so it's the most important until it reaches a minimum threshold, at which point it takes a backseat in importance to other stuff. Also what exactly is "cutesy"? Moe traits? Whenever I see rare cases of girls acting moe IRL it's a huge hit with me, so that would be pretty high.

I have to pick number 13 here, because the reason I stay out of relationships is because I need to tend to schoolwork, so I would think that number 13 would help lessen that barrier.

13 or 14, could be interchangeable but I'd rather my eventual significant other be a nice person over being slightly smarter (or even moreso) than average.
