Ladies, I, Am Honored
by I take great delight in this request to represent my sex, via this "What Guys Want" list...Hope I deliver the goods in a way that best describes us guys as a whole, cause we're all different..But, I'll try to find a happy medium....
1. Jealousy, is not cute - Understand that your boyfriend has other female associates beside you, none of which pose a threat...He picked YOU for a reason...
2. Super-self conciousness is a turn off..Girls that are OBSESSED w/their image, and making sure that everybody views them in a certain way, not attractive. This, is a very prevalent trait, unfortunately.
3. Yeah, we're labled as "dogs", who view girls as nothing but objects, and, well, a lot of us are..BUT, still, there are many of us who are looking for more than just lips to suck on...As enjoyable of a pass time as that is, we like conversation & friendship & cuddling & 4 hour phone calls as much as you do. Guys who fight the romance are only doing it cause they don't wanna look like whipped sissies..But, deep down inside, we wanna walk along the beach holding hands & what not too.
4. Funny how in the what girls want list, there's that thing about us taking initiative, because, girls feel like they're nagging...Haha, it's mutual, we too, feel the same way @ times. So, I believe this should be a 50%-50% type deal.
5. If we don't call, or text you, for like a day & a half, DON'T GO CRAZY, assume the best, give the benifit of the doubt. It's very annoying to a guy when a girl gets paranoid over little things like this, and has to deal w/the 100 question routine, when the only reason he didn't call because he had to drive his uncle to the air port & study for 10 tests..Not cause he's seeing somebody else, lol.
6. Guys LOVE buying things for their girls..And, I do believe most of the gift buying should be from the male end. But, we find sentimental value in inanimate objects too..So, every once & a while, it's cool to surprise your guy w/something.
7. Girls that are offended by everything, and think they're too sophisticated to laugh @ certain types of jokes, that's annoying. Nothing more irritating than getting chastised by some sheltered girl w/a stick up her butt.
!!!New!!!!
8. A good sense humor is SUCH a turn on..A girl that you can bounce back&forth off of, instead of just feeling like your in a stand up comedy routine, & she's the audience..I might get yelled at for saying this, but, I think ON AVERAGE, guys are just a little bit funnier than girls...The reason? It's what I've said all along, guys, are supposed to entertain, girls, are supposed to get entertained, that's just the way society's set up...It's the same reason why there's more male musicians than female..But, anyway, yeah, funny chicks, can't get enough of'm
OOOOOOOOK....That's all I can squeeze out for now, I'm sure you all will come up w/more

234 - Look you're taking a dump. Please lock the door. I dont want to walk in... no i really dont think it's cute. GEEZ !
THIS SUCKS!!!..I'M IN UPSTATE NY, DRAGGED UP HERE BY FAMILY!!!..WHILE YOU GUYS ARE HAVING FUN!!.I HATE ALL OF YOU!!...ok, i'm done
Is this present thing really true? About girls not needing to get guys as much presents? I get very anxious and crazy about this..I swear guys are soooo much harder to shop for.
i LOVE shopping for guys. it's not hard, just get them something you know they'd be into.
like ... chicks!
It's true for me. I get much more excited seeing the look on somebody's face when I get them a gift they like than I ever do about receiving a gift.
#6 thats true.. i do believe in giving of the gifts (more into the receiving) ladies it is not a quest to change his style... to many times i have seen girls buy things their boy toys clearly hate.. buy something he likes like an set of action dvds.
4 hour phone calls .. not cool. i'm not down with that..
buttt.. number
234 - baby listen, i just saw you all weekend.. we hung out.. had a great time.. you saw me 22 hrs out of each day... now it's monday.. just one day.. i need to get some things done.. do this that.. you just dont need to call me every 20 minutes. i'm not cookadoodling with anyone else. relax. relllllllaxxxx
I'm just looking for a girl that laughs at my jokes and likes GTIs, any takers?!?!
maybe if u got some funnier jokes....
I like gti's...but I'm already spoken for.
Gab and her VW obession...i should get a VW tattoo. maybe then she'll like me as much as she likes VWs.
You and your Citation (it's a car) obsession. Ditch the tatoo. Get a Jetta.
Jettas are trendy college kid cars. I'll never buy a Volks. Nowww, a 1985 Chevy Citation II. A thing of beauty. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/301233/2
dude...i don't like jettas much...i'm an japanese import kid, all the way...but, that citation..is like, a poor kids jetta...$500 and a tankfull of gas...total cost ...$510...for that car.
thats funny, because i got my Citation2 was bought for $500. this is very funny.
I have told you time and time again...I got my first jetta at 16-6 yrs ago!!!!! I did even have the new body style. I wrecked my jetta and I got an 89 Wolfsburg Jetta to replace it. How is that trendy!!??? I am true to the car, not the trend. Cuz by the looks of the car, it's hardly cool.
i've got a jetta...and the reason i got it was because it's not too expensive, and most importantly, it's got good safety ratings. Now, if I really had any choice in the matter, i'd so be driving around in a yellow honda s2000...saweeeeeetness
hahaha i'd race you in my jetta and beat you!
a) you don't have a jetta
b) it IS fast! I mean, maybe not super fast for a sports car...but i hear it can reach 150/160
c) speed isn't everything
a)I might have a jetta, you may never have seen it
2) it's not fast if it takes an hour to get to 150
d) speed might be everything, but you're old and slow, so you'll probably never find out for sure.
I think you should add that...
NEVER EXPECT US TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING YOU SAY AND WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM!!!!! men and womens minds act on 2 TOTALLY different planes...Something that may be BLATENT to you, may take us a bit to figure out, and vice versa. And dishes... we HATE dishes... well.. me and beachbums husband.. HATE dishes... REALLY REAAAAAAAAALLY hate them... like.. i dont think i have stressed how much i hate them.
999 - I'm seeing the movie the first time.. Just like you. I dont know whats going to happen. I dont know if he is still dead. sorry i just dont have the answers.
1000 - Intellecuatlity - also very attractive...I can hardly think for myself, I do NOT want to have to think for you also
Really? I think I disagree with this. I really don't want a girl who can challenge me intellectually. I get enough of that at work.
Seriously? I LOVE intellectual conversations.
So, it seems to me that every time I get into an intellectual conversation with someone it ends up becoming an argument. I really hate arguing. This is one of the reasons I try to avoid intellectual conversations at all costs. Another is that my work is essentially just thinking, and when I get home, I like to be able to shut my brain off for a while and not get into any deep discussions. Moreover, it seems to me that a smart girl would be more likely to question decisions I would make since they would think they know better. All in all, I'd rather not be married to someone who thinks they know how to run things better than I can. I think this sums up nicely why I prefer girls that are only moderately intelligent.
hahaha. maybe you are just having too many intellectual discussions with persons at work because they aren't actually discussinos but merely arguements cuz they wanna say they're better (the entire world's emtion) intellectual discussions are good fun.
That's certainly possible. I guess I'm really most concerned with the last issue I brought up. It seems to me that it would be very hard for a very intelligent girl to be submissive. In fact, I have an enormous amount of respect for the sisters in the hall who actually do manage to be both. It just doesn't seem likely to find someone like that. (I'd love to be wrong, though.)
dude. you rock. i like how you aren't apologetic about what you want. get yourself an average chick, bro. go, Dannie G!
haha..you want a cud straw chewin hick girl!!!...
dgiamo: "huny, could you fix me a sandwich?..thanks"
dgiamo's dumb lady: "well, first we're going to have to go to the beach...& were are we gonna find a witch at this time of year?..it's not even holloween yet!..huny you're so silly!"
u shoulda married jessica simpson dude
Dude, I didn't say I wanted her to be stupid. Stupid girls are a whole different story. I said "moderately intelligent".
you'll soon notice that he doesn't listen. he just makes jokes.
A wise man, once said
"Thou who taketh the word of Bryan seriously, hath maketh a GREAT mistake..."
I mess around a lot...when I'm serious...it will be VERY apparent
Ah..this makes me sick. I don't consider myself super-smart or anything like that, but I am of average if not above intelligence (or so I tell myself). Why don't you want to marry me!! I am actually very submissive, it's insane. I have such a fear of authority.
Like I said in another post, I'd love to be wrong about this conclusion I've come to about smart girls. Maybe I'm over-thinking this, since if a girl is spiritual it really shouldn't matter. Actually, you should probably take anything I say about girls with a grain of salt, since recently I've been getting kind of annoyed that most of the girls in my hall won't even say hello to me, and it's been getting me kind of down on girls altogether.
Well..it's like just because you're smart, doesn't mean you can't be obediant. Sometimes, it may even mean being smart enough to be obediant. Though, if a girl's husband is doing something completely stupid I don't think I would expect her to just go along with it.
yeah, it should definitely be a 50% 50% deal...guys who go on power trips & enjoy controling females, I can't stand that...if the husband's living up to his end of the bargain, w/christ as his head, there should be an extreme lack of problems, and when they do come up, they should never be detrimental
So, I just got back from a trip to Boston, and I would like to say that I would like to qualify all my previous statements about girls to *California* girls. Massachusetts girls are awesome.
ok, you're the 3rd guy I've heard say this....I'm going to Massecusetts like tomorrow
You're not a guy. Your opinion on the subject doesn't count.
yeah, hon, she just got owned. he basically stuffed a whole sicilian pizza pie in her mouth.
ya kno... when ur girlfriend said it, it was cute... but you... well i'm just going to have to beat....
Why? I want to dispise them too!
She's probably jealous that they're so much nicer than she is.
um no.. how about you dont' judge me since u don't even know me.... and my reasons are bad experiences with many of them if u must know
I agree there is something about some females that you just cant get along with and others that i am just going to have to lay hands on
Excuse you.. Im a california girl does that mean that comment was toward me and if it was i resent that statement!
Well, I haven't met you so I can't say for sure, but in the eight years that I've lived in California I don't think I've met a single nice girl where by "nice" I mean that I think she would be a good friend to have.
Girls aren't always good friends to have. We're all mean.
yeah, you girls get moody w/out warning & we just have to put up w/it...SILLY CHICKS!!
No there are warnings but you dont pay attention...
we roll our eyes but your not looking at the eyes are you? ARE YOU!
Tsk tsk tsk
EXACTLY! we roll our eyes and cross our arms and get VERy quiet before we flip out at u... maybe if u boys paid some ATTENTION! to us your lives would be easier....
Thats what im talking about...
Except that by the time she does that you're beyond the point of no return and nothing you do is going to calm her down.
I might be labeled a traitor to the female cause, but I always feel really bad after I flip out and say sorry a million times. I hate that. I can't always expect my boyfriend to see things the way I do...especially when he only can go by my IM convos and tone of voice over the phone. I need to communicate my thoughts better. Then I can flip out if he doesn't get it. Ha.
I know i sometimes apologize.. but usually guys get you mad becuz they think your cute when your mad..
While I admit it can be cute when a girl is a little annoyed, I don't think any guy thinks it's cute when she actually gets mad.
i still hold to my belife that all men are evil....
It's probably closer to say all men are idiots. Evil implies malice aforethought.
Yes and we know guys dont use their brains that often.
Absolutely perfect.
I'd object, but unfortunately it's true.
hey, i dont think thats very fair to say...i know a lot of guys who are much more moody then me. I can't remember the last time I really had a fight with a friend or boyfriend...except once...and in that case, i wasn't the one who got mad.
hmm....well, I suppose I'm talking from personal experience..and so are you....you don't seem like that moody of a person, I doubt I'll ever have a serious problem or issue w/you, lol, so I hereby state that you are an exception to my afore mentinoed statement
I know some chicks in cali arent the best chicks in the world.. but its always what area your in that makes the difference.. they just up in the air and i always have to bring them down to the ground.
and by "up in the air" do you mean "smoking the reafer"?
no i mean they have no brains... and the only reason why they havent floated up into space is becuz they have so much make-up on.
ahahaha! soo true!
lol i do this ALL thet time "omg! whats he doing? whats gonna happen? is he gonna die?!"
please refer to comment #37
i'm sorry did u just call me stupid?!
stupid's such a STRONG word
richard... ur going DOWN
haha, I'd HAVE to "go down" in order to battle you!!..you're 3 feet below me!...ok, hug, make up...cuddle...no more argument
NO HUGGING! NO CUDDLEING!! NO FORGIVENESS!
how about; DON'T GET NERVOUS WHEN MEETING OUR FAMILY FOR THE FIRST TIME....
i never understood why this happens. perhaps cuz i haven't personally experienced it but they're just people. people who care deeply about the person you care deeply about. so what's the big deal?
In the event that they end up hating you and not letting you go out with their child..it could be a bit problematic.
I don't see why this would be a problem for a girl, since if a guy likes you he's not going to be dissuaded by his parents. For a guy on the other hand...
Not completely dissuaded but they can make things complicated for both people involved. I don't know why you think a girl should listen to her parents about this when a guy isn't expect to?
It's not that I think a girl should listen to her parents more than a guy. It's that I would be very frightened of dealing with some girls' fathers.
My dad is pretty cool..I have always been terrified of my boyfriends dad on the other hand even though he's nice to me.
my dad has this thing....if a guy likes me....he hates them.
I don't understand guys like that. If I had a daughter I'd want her to be happy and to find a guy that made her happy. Of course, I'd make it clear to her boyfriend that if he hurts her he'll end up wishing he'd never been born, but that's a different story.
Ok..this is your baby girl! You've watched this little girl grow up, and she is your baby. You don't want some guy touching her and kissing her..or even looking at her.
i think those were the dads that misused girls growing up or have seen it. and if they weren't in the truth, theres no telling how many insane ways they disrespected and hurt girls or what they've seen their freinds or perhaps even family doing. they know what goes on and what can happen. and inexperience in relationships can gradually thrust a young lady into misconduct and that can spiritually wreck her. dads do not want that.
No, I really can't identify with this. If she really wanted to get married I think I would be the first one to help her. Maybe I'll change if I have a daughter one day, but right now I can't imagine feeling this way.
hahaha, oh my... julia julia julia... you have NO IDEA!!!
we're the nervous ones? i've seen guys literally sweat in front of my dad.
I figure a lot of people, after they've already read the subject of the thread, every time they click back into it they just fly down to the comments never checking to see if there's anything new at the top..so I figured I'd post this as a comment too.....
8. A good sense humor is SUCH a turn on..A girl that you can bounce back&forth off of, instead of just feeling like your in a stand up comedy routine, & she's the audience..I might get yelled at for saying this, but, I think ON AVERAGE, guys are just a little bit funnier than girls...The reason?

The thing with driving is, girls know that most guys are better drivers. They may not admit this, but they know it. So, when we drive we get really nervous because you're watching us!
Yeah, that's why guys car insurance is more - they drive better than us :P
There should be a book made, entitled "The Very Best of Ezabel"..where all the funniest & most informative posts comments & shenanigans of eZabel are composed into one convenient package.
i just want a girl to laugh at my stupid jokes. thats all thats needed...
12. IT'S OK FOR THE GIRL TO DRIVE...the guy is NOT a chauffuer. Feel free to drive at ANY point in time. Picking up the guy once in a while is nice :)
you just say that because you HATE driving. Your life consists of driving a maximum of 10 minutes from your house.
i do agree with everything you said..but it's kind of hard sometimes NOT to act or feel a certain way even though we know it might be out of line. i think thats why the guy has to know the girl (vice versa also)..so when she freaks out about something..it's just because of natural insecurities that can be fixed by him saying something reassuring. (relating to 1,2 & 5 mostly)
ahh but they can not always be fixed by your suggested method!
yeah, very very true...if a guy knows the girl he's with well enough, and the compatibility is genuine & it's & not a relationship based purely on convenience & physical attraction, then lil freak outs & quirks can actually be kinda cute @ times...
11. The plot of EVERY movie you want to see is the same. Guy + Girl = Happiness. Someone is going to be happy, by the end. Can we try something different, for once?
if this doesn't scream that you are gay, thennn i don't know WHAT does. whew.
yeah, it seems he wants to see the equation Guy + Guy = hapiness used more in movies....
good eye, eagle scout
listen, bryan..NO ONE IS GOING TO MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT A KID WHO GRINDS ON PEOPLE...so just forget it
shows how much YOU know...speilberg has already agreed to it...gonna be an action packed flick..full of time travel, dinasaurs, and race of aliens known as the Daninites, who drain people of their life force by grinding on them
i hope "spielberg" signs on, and not that faker "speilberg"..i think he directed "dude where's my car"
there's two of'm?...haha...that's not cool, there's prolly a buncha confused people who just didn't notice the difference in spelling on the tape cover & now think that this big time director also directed the B movie they just rented...
10. If every sentence you say involves the word "me", or "my", or "mine"...chances are, you are a little too self-centered for your own good.
bryan i love the fact that you never contradict yourself when it comes to girls and what you want.
9. SOMETIMES...we don't feel like talking. Sheesh. Stop pressuring.
ok dan, u need to stop... this is why u r single....
8. Learn to play some video games, if your target guy enjoys them. How hard could it be to get comfortable with some mario kart? This way, the next time he wants to just "stay home and chill", you can at least give him a run for his money.
haha, edit yours & make it #8....I just added a 7
THIS is true. not freaking likely though.
playing video games with a boyfriend can be cute and fun...especially if you beat him
haha andrew can't take stand it when I take him down in Smash Brothers
i am in love with Smash Brothers. it's my favorite game. i used to have lil tournaments at my house.
such a great game. i have tournaments w/ my brothers all the time, and they always win (i get so mad). So then i play andrew and win and feel so much better. hey mike has smash bros on his game cube. we should play a couple of rounds sat.
I can't say my experience is typical, but i grew up in a house of all girls and my parents definitely raised us to be girls, and video games apparently were not in their repatoire of acitivities. I would love to do "guy" things, but by the early twenties, trying to do vid games is like saying "oh my boyfriend is tony hawk, so to get close to him I'm gonna take up skating."
Its more like you have to pick from the things you already mutually share, or learn something new together, and then go from there.
