Agree. He seems to have given girl two pretty much everything aspie males want in a parnter (not saying theres some who don't, but just in general) Plus the better looks, and Given Girl one no positive attributes at all.

I just think its a really silly question. Who do you want? Someone attractive or someone with nothing going for them? Not really a question.

girl 2 - but I like a little more compromise with girls and their interests - a little cutesy is OK, and shopping is OK AS LONG as her life does not revolve around E!, the Kardashians, the mall, Juicy Couture and VS PINK.

Agreed at the weighted question. It would have been a better test, though still far from ideal, if Girl 1 had the hot body instead.

I would have a problem with anyone interested in cars and sports. NASCAR and football are for people who can't read. No amount of good looks could make up for that.

On the other hand, Mr Potato Head with lipstick on is not alluring, either, so I'd just have to pass on them both.

Unless the tomboy girl is up for NSA hookups, that would be awesome. Wham Bam Seeya Later Ma'am...go play with your Hot Wheels and your baseball cards.

wow, that's a whole lot of nasty stereotypes and shallow judgements packed into one short post.

I pick girl 3 :wink:

The girl who's still a bit girly, but has a few guilty male interests. Also as far as looks, I find the women that most men consider boring or average the most attractive... so girl 3 is average looking :)

Ooh and maybe girl 3 can be sweet, smart, and wear glasses... that's always cute :D

well, because this has been bothering me for a while and i really need to know if guys dislike ''masculine'' women so much that they rather would choose a more feminine woman even if she wasn't especially attractive. Basically my question was: is a girly behavior more attractive to a man than a totally hot body? Because, like i mantioned earlier, you can make your body hotter but it's way harder (if even possible) to change who you are.

If you put a gun to my head, I'd have to take girl 2. But this is a serious question, not a game show.

I'd have to actually spend time with Girls 1 and 2 before coming to a decision.

But more serious analysis would be needed to fully understand which one I would pick. Is Girl 1 caring? Is Girl 1 on IM with you every night? Is Girl 1 faithful? Will Girl 2 accept me for who I am, or run at the first sign of trouble? Is Girl 2 going to treat me as an equal in our relationship? Will Girl 1 be willing to find common ground?

Most importantly: When the inevitable social issues become present, will she look past them? Will she ignore these issues, or recognize them in a non-demeaning way?

"Typical Girly interests" can mean a million different things. Alot of 'Girly Girls' like Pokemon, Harry Potter and Redwall. 'Relationship-oriented" shows can also mean different things. Is she watching "What Not to Wear" and "Jersey Shore"? Or is she watching "Bringing Home Baby", "The Office" or "Jon and Kate plus 8"? What values does she uphold?

There are a lot of fine women out there, but not all of them bring you lasagna at work.

Seriously, I can't come to a decision based simply around broad stereotypes and generalizations. Can you give me more information on Girl 1 and Girl 2?

:D Honestly, if Girl 1 had Girl 2's body. I'd still pick Girl 2. I think girly behavior is not actually attractive to most guys especially as they age. Many girls I know mix-and-match several different characteristics from Girl 1 and Girl 2, I'd be sure not to judge Girl 1 entirely from her superficial qualities.

Most guys who look for submissive girls are trouble in a relationship. :wink: I'm guessing you live in the American South too?

So...ugly girl with annoying behavior or hot girl with awesome taste and interests. That's like asking would you rather be homeless with no money or live in a mansion and make $1 million a year. :?

Yes. Being feminine is far more important than being physically attractive.

That being said, if the girl is butt-ugly to begin with then no amount of femininity will compensate... but if a girl is average or plain looking then being feminine can make her truly beautiful.

I'd pick girl 2 because girly-girls are irritating and all the tomboyish girls ive met in my life have been awesome to be with. Physical beauty does influence decision of course.. but i'll say this:

if girl 1 had been supermodel hot and irritating girly-girl personality... and girl 2 been tomboyish and average/plain looking i'd still pick girl 2.

You do realize that once in the relationship, this girl is not going to be wearing makeup 24/7? I imagine the shock and awe when you see the girl for the first time without it. Like that scene of jackie from that 70's show. 'Femininity' is not really important to me as far as makeup/taking care of looks. In my mind, it's all part of the game. I really don't notice too much of a difference between girls with/without makeup, in fact some girls are more 'attractive' without it.

I find feminine personality traits more important in prospective life partners. I like girls who care about others, take things slowly, and prefer to talk things out instead of confrontation. A girl can wear makeup yet still behave like an Alpha Male. Obviously you've never met Snooki.

Kind of along the lines of KnowRainSupreme, Girl 1 isn't emphasized as having the "girly" traits that I would consider most alluring, except maybe being interested in watching shows about human relationships. Essentially I do like women who can handle the social parts of life that I can't so well, and can kind of be the "heart" of the relationship for both partners, since I have trouble bonding with people especially when I'm upset about things. And I like how women can feel deeply happy about others' accomplishments in addition to their own, and just share in general in ways that are difficult for me

And if either wanted a hookup I'd take it, though I think the tomboy would be more likely to.

actually, i live in Europe :) when it comes to the submissive thing, i don't think it has much to do with how feminine a woman is. I'm personally more like girl 2 than girl 1 and i'm actually told often by people that i'm too submissive because i let others boss me around. And i've seen some more feminine women dominate their men like you would'nt believe and threat them like crap.
