I have a type of guy that I go after, most women do. Physical appearance alone, give me a tall, broad shouldered guy with a square jaw and dark hair and I’ll marry him tomorrow. It’s a horrible weakness, especially since I read an article last year about a study done in England. Apparently you can tell a person’s promiscuity by their facial features. The more promiscuous men had square jaws, smaller eyes and an overall more masculine appearance. So excellent, I’m attracted to he-whores! But then it got better, because as the study went on it said that men who were looking for short term, casual relationships will go after women who have big eyes, big lips and small jaws. Then it showed a picture of this type of woman… she looked like me. Super.
Ok, so appearance wise, I have an uphill battle going, but what about personality? Looks are important, I’m not going to pretend they aren’t, that’s the first thing you judge a person on. But personality is equally important. Jake and I could sit and talk for hours and time would fly past because we got along so well. (Jake however had a very square jaw and the attributes that go along with that, if you catch my drift.) If a guy doesn’t have a good personality and can’t keep me interested he’s useless to me (or he may end up in the Cheap Thrill category). When I get bored, I simply move on. Why waste my time on someone who can’t even keep my interest at the beginning of a relationship?
My friend Valerie was dating a perfectly nice, cute guy but he was boring as hell. She said he would just talk about things that she didn’t care about, to the point where during dinner she would actually listen to other table’s conversations instead of what he was saying. Valerie said his talking was non-stop, and it started as soon as they woke up in the morning. Finally one morning she snapped and said “Listening to you is like constantly having the Documentary Channel on! I just don’t care, I can’t take anymore!”
The types of guys that I’m dating now are great arm candy and always entertaining, but definitely not the type of guy that I would ever marry. But I’m not looking to get married now and if I’m only allowed to be young and foolish once, I’m going to take full advantage of that. In fact, on the topic of foolish, maybe I’ll see what Cheap Thrill has been up to lately.
