That’s what she said

What do girls look for in a guy?

What do girls look for in a guy exactly?

Barbara Satterfield responded, “I mostly look for a great personality. Looks really do not do it much for me. I mean face it, you could probably have grade “A” looks, but when it comes to the personality test (because in the end that’s what you spend the rest of your life with because even looks age after awhile) the, “Oh so hot!” quarterback of the football team could have a grade “F” personality, which means your stuck with a guy who spends the rest of his days pretending he is still the oh so hot football star.

Personality really is the way to go. “They know how to treat a girl,” Lindsey Colelli stated. “I look for personality and honesty. He definitely has to make me laugh and keep me entertained, and honesty is the base of any good relationship.”

Lesley Cunningham replied, “Someone who is tall, has a nice smile, great personality, can make me laugh, and is loyal and honest.”

Do you believe in love at first sight?

“No, I don’t believe in love at first sight, but I believe in lust at first sight. You can’t love someone until you get to know them,” Colelli replied.

Satterfield stated, “I do believe in love at first sight. I’ve noticed with a lot of my past relationships, the ones that actually worked were when I found the guy first. When a guy showed interest in me, first I noticed that the relationship lasted for just shy of a month. My current boyfriend I have right now I found when I worked with him one time. It only took one sight, and I was hooked from that point on. I know when it comes to believing in ‘Love at First Sight.’”

“I’m a definite believer,” Cunningham responded, “Yes, or at least I would like to.”

I asked the girls if their taste has changed throughout the years.

“My tastes haven’t really changed at all. I am still attracted to pretty much the same type of guys,” Cunningham replied.

I don’t think my taste in guys has changed too much, although I am not to sure on my taste,” Colelli stated.

Satterfield replied, “I want to say no, my taste in men has not changed throughout the years. I am still all for those dark-haired, beautiful-eyed men. I can honestly say that one thing that might have changed is the eye-color thing. I know it sounds a little shallow, but I mostly always like guys with big beautiful green or blue eyes (green being my favorite color). Until recently, I’ve noticed that guys with deep-brown eyes just have this thing about them. Brown eyes are cute, too!”

Is it important if he has a college education?

Satterfield replied, “That’s a tough one. I would prefer a college personality because I know when I find the right guy and get married, I want to make sure that I am not the only one who is bringing home the bacon at the end of the day. I also do not want this answer to sound like I am a gold digger hoping for a doctor to come sweeping my way. I want a guy who can help share the responsibilities it takes to run a house and raise a family. It’s equal share because I’m sure guys want a girl with a college education as well.”

Cunningham responded, “I personally think it is very important for him to have a college education because he will not only be able to obtain a job that allows him to make good money, but it also will give him more chances to go further and be more successful in his career.”

Colelli stated, “Education is important. He has to be able to support himself, and you can’t get a good job without an education.”

Name one thing you wouldn’t want guys to know about women’s habits.

“I don’t really know what to put for this one ... maybe that when we are at restaurant or a bar and all go to the bathroom in groups, we are more than likely talking about them or gossiping about something,” Cunningham replied.

Satterfield stated, “When men ask us what we want, the truth is: Women do not know what they want. We spend our lives watching Chick Flicks, thinking that after awhile of watching them that that’s the way men are supposed to act in real life. Get a reality check because that’s not going to happen. I think I have to say, though, is that not knowing what we want is definitely something I wouldn’t want my man to know.”

Do women prefer older men?

“I prefer men around the same age ... older or younger doesn’t really matter if it’s what your looking for,” Colelli stated.

Cunningham replied, “Depends on how much older. I like to stay within like three or four years of my age.”

Satterfield stated, “This will be a short answer: Statistics show that women mature mostly at an early age. Twelve has been said to have been the age most women either begin maturing or have fully matured. Statistics go on saying that men usually do not mature between the ages of 16- 25. So if you want an honest answer for this question, then most of the women of the U.S. will be dating 30 years or older.”
