Guys - Who would you choose?
That's often my experience too, that the girls who are tomboyish and forthright tend to be at the least open to equal relationship. Sometimes submissive, though I don't really like that in a girl because I'm submissive myself. Just goes to show ya, you can't judge a book by it's cover.
I always hear mixed reviews about Europe. I tried to move there a few months back because well, I don't get along well in the states. ![]()
Girl 2. Actually, I might even consider girl 2 if both were hot. I mean, I like girls that dress in a feminine way, but I suspect it might be easier for me to understand girl 2 than girl 1. I think for me, the main problem is communication, something that is very important in a relationship, but a point where an "aspie" would have problems and maybe it would be easier to communicate with her if she was thinking in a more masculine way?? I don`t know for sure. Any thoughts?
Girl one is your typical girly girl. She loves to go shopping for clothes and would never leave the house without make-up on. She has typicly girly interests like shopping, fashion, the color pink, talking about and watching tv-shows about human relationships etc
BUT - girl 1 has not a hot body. Whatever you think is ugly (being too fat, too thin, cellulites etc), she has it.
Girl 2
Girl 2 is a tomboy who dresses comfortably, often just wearing jeans and a t-shirt. She has typically male interests, like cars, sports, video games etc
BUT - girl 2 has a totally hot body. Like a swin suit model (or whatever you think is hot). She has very soft skin and despite her tomboyish personality, very feminine features.
I'm not posting this to offend or provoque anyone. I just really want to know. I know most guys do not like tomboys. But is your partner being feminine (or societies version of feminine anyway) more important than her being physically attractive? Because it's easier (and less depressing) to make your body more attractive than changing your personality.
Girl 2 is the winner here -- looks, shared hobbies, and if she's straight and has decent libido, we're good to go.

Ignoring the looks part, and going straight to the personality description, Girl 1 makes a better wife, and Girl 2 makes a better friend and playmate. However, Girl 1 takes FAR more work to get to that point, and Girl 2 is easier to get along with, but isn't going to last in a relationship. It's kind of like having a high draft pick. Do you choose the player who is raw and unrefined, but has unlimited potential? Or do you take the player who can contribute right away, as in an NBA ready point guard, or an NFL ready quarterback? You are the GM of your team of one person. Which one do you choose? What is the goal of your franchise of yourself?
According to society's rules of having a successful relationship, girl 2 isn't going to last in a relationship. If you live with a warped sense of reality as I do, it might just work out. You can't just narrow it down to who the girls are. It depends on who you are and your capabilities in making it work. Girl 2 is to an extent, a dude, this makes it easier to ease her into seeing logic (unlike a lot of women)because of this. I think both of our masculine sides could make reason of anything and ultimately would make the relationship stronger because the trivialities of modern society's values would mean nothing to us, or me at least. Please tell me this makes some kinda sense or am I talking out of my ass(for the millionth time.)

I do study sports. This question is raised a lot in NBA basketball. In 2004, the Charlotte Bobcats selected Emeka Okafor over the unpolished Dwight Howard. Dwight Howard became a top 5 player while Okafor has only been decent. Remember that due to the unpolished theory, Kobe Bryant slipped to 17 and Kevin Garnett slipped to 5. Of course, Johnathon Bender and Darko Milicic also were selected with high draft picks and had miserable careers. If you have a girl who could end up a world beater, I'd role the dice on her. In basketball, one great player is needed for a championship team (see the Gold Medal Superstar Theory). That's where value judgment comes into play. If you get to know the person well, and understand the person's in and outs, you can project whether a potential-based player will reach his ceiling better. Does the person have the qualities to improve upon themselves to your standards? You should know within a couple of weeks of dating them. Hence why personality factors are important.
