What do boys REALLY like in a girl? All these magazines & stuff say that they love what's inside, not outside. Is this true or is it crap?

But look at the photos next to the articles in the magazines...ALL OF THE GIRLS ARE BEAUTIFUL! Every guy wants a girl with a nice breast size and big butt and a small waist. 90% of the guys in this world want nothing but sex from a girl, that's why they get the hot ones and trick them into thinking they want to 'show their love' by having sex. The truth is no guy in this world can acutally honestly say he doesn't want a pretty girl. Nope, nu huh, it ain't gonna happen! Sure, you find a guy that truely does care that you're a good person or have a beautiful mind, but he's also got a thing about the girl being pretty. Guys are animals, they only think of sex, sex, and more sex. Remember that when the next guy says, "Having sex is the only way I can express my love for you and your wonderful personality!"

Real men are attracted by the confidence and how well you carry yourself, and they are hooked with how smart, caring, or fun you are. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]
OneMan answered Thursday January 15 2004, 6:42 pm: MEN like what's inside. Sadly enough, boys haven't evolved enough to even notice that there IS an inside. So, I guess it all depends on the maturity level of the person. Just pay attention to what they discuss most about you and that should give you the answer.

SBC answered Thursday January 15 2004, 3:44 pm: I am sure not all guys like the same qualities in a girl. Some guys are shallow and like a girl only because of how she looks, some like girls because of their personality, and for most (i'm assuming) its a combination of both.

Whatever answered Thursday January 15 2004, 2:04 pm: Both...because everyone is different. 33% of boys would rather have a girl who has a good heart rather than good looks, 33% would only go out with a girl who looks hot and another 33% of them would like their girl to be beautiful inside and out. Whatever it is...if you want people to like you, you have to be yourself. Nobody wants to be with somebody who is phony. [ Whatever's advice column | Ask Whatever A Question ]

metawidget answered Thursday January 15 2004, 1:37 am: If it were purely inside or outside, it would be too easy.
Guys can only take a guess at the inside by how you act and carry yourself... words, dress, priorities, how you face the world. And there's no doubt fitting a given guy's conception of pretty will get his attention... but that varies quite a bit from guy to guy. All of it does, really. There's no secret checklist that all guys have hidden away somewhere.
Looking back at most of the girls I've fancied over the years, most of them have been opinionated, whimsical, smart, smallish (as in short, usually and small, sometimes), comfortable dressers and able to cream me in an argument. But that's basically averages, and nobody's fit the profile exactly. So it's inside and out, it's dynamics, it's luck and timing. And if it were any more predictable it would be kind of dull.
Like MFS implied, there's all kinds of guys for all kinds of girls (and guys for guys and girls for girls, and...) so start with knowing what kind of person you want to hang out with, and what kind of person you want to be... the rest will follow and will involve a certain amount of randomness.

Cspinoza1 answered Thursday January 15 2004, 1:07 am: No not all males want whats on the inside. Lets put it this way teenage males rather have a really hot girl that is shallow as a dry river, rather than be with a less attractive woman that acually has something to say. Some males like a mixture but teen males look down before up. What do males like. A killer body pretty much. Just so you know I am a guy and im sorry but me I look for the feeling I get with a female not the looks she gives me and every other guy around.,
TheAwkwardPenguin answered Thursday January 15 2004, 12:46 am: There is of course no definetive list of what boys like and do not like (pretty much what Mfs said).
Now "Boys" want hot bimbo's etc. And they're almsot usually complete dicks. Do you really want to attract a "boy" who will just treat you like dirt and burp and fart alot? Thought not. So dont sell yourself short so you can attract one of these losers.
Now what you want to attract are guys who'll soon become men. And yes they do exist. And they will like you for whats inside not outside, just wait until you meet a great guy like this. Life does go on without a boyfriend. [ TheAwkwardPenguin's advice column | Ask TheAwkwardPenguin A Question ]

Pandabalism answered Wednesday January 14 2004, 11:13 pm: It's true. You can't love someone based on looks. It wouldn't work. Yes, boys are attracted to girls who are pretty. But, you could be the most beautiful girl in the world, and if you had a shitty personality, boys wouldn't like you so much. So don't focus so much on the outside, but on the inside. Just be you. Look the way you want to look, and act the way you want to act, and as long as you're not a bitch, guys will like you for you, inside AND out!!!!!

MFS answered Wednesday January 14 2004, 11:12 pm: Stop reading magazines that try to tell you things like that.
Secondly, there is no universal list of things that "boys" want.
In fact, most "boys" don't want anything, so stop worrying about them.
Guys like different things, depending on the individual. Some are very much into looks and could care less about personality and intellect. Others need a girl with brains. Others need a really outgoing girl, while another might want someone who it quiet.
But the universal truth is this - guys like naked chicks.
No, really... I'm not making that up.
You need to decide on what you want in a guy, and what you want in yourself before a guy can decide that he likes what he sees in you. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
notnormal answered Wednesday January 14 2004, 10:10 pm: I think it is true. If they do only love what is outside then they are shallow and probably won't have any lasting relationships. I have known a lot of couples that don't look like movie stars and they really love each other. [ notnormal's advice column | Ask notnormal A Question ]
