| Hey! I have an idea!
How about any girl that wants to puts up stories of guys that have saved them from anything- embarrassment, sex, even pain or possible death. |

| Where I got the idea from was when I saved my sister from a severe asthma attack.
We were on this extreme fairground style ride in Rotorua, New Zealand (like six hours north of where we live by car). The ride involved being pulled up high (30-40 metres-ish) in a little seating thing, then you basically control the fall by pulling a cord which detaches you from the ropey thing that pulls you up, and you swing backwards and forwards until you eventually come to a stop.
When we got to the top, my sister started getting anxious of our height above the ground, and this started to bring on an asthma attack.
I yelled to the ride controller to let us back down again slowly, so as not to aggravate the asthma. She was yelling up at me "It'll be fine, just pull the cord!" After about a minute of yelling she eventually let us down. When we got back down, she was rushed to the gondolas (This ride was high up on a hill) and they set them on high speed to get us back to the carpark so my sis could get her inhaler. Anyway, thats probably as heroic as I've ever been...

hey Simon, was it that three person drop thingy in rotorua by the Zorbs? I so want to do it sometime 
I guess you live in Wellington? or somewhere down there?
I'm from New Zealand too haha but from the "National high" town haha.
and that's so cool about what you did
Oh I know one, I had an asthma attack at OPC in National Park (OPC = Outdoor Pursuits Center) and we did an overnight hike and we were climbing a steep mountain and one guy friend took my pack (which held the very heavy rope and the food plus my stuff,) and his own (we were miles from the log cabin thingy where i had left my inhaler, luckily it wasnt a bad attack, and I was able to get my breathing under control and take my pack back after we got up the mountain. so it was really nice |

I'm going to tell you something that is going to save you a lot of heartache and pain in your life. Are you ready?
Girls are completely crazy.
Yes, it's true. Most of them are absolutely nuts. They run completely on emotion with never a thought to if what they are doing is actually good for them or not. The problem with this is that what they feel about a guy is often based on either what the culture has taught them to like in a guy or their sin nature. Their attraction to a guy has nothing to do with if he is a Godly man or a man of character, but has everything to do with how he makes her feel. Attracting a girl is then all about if you can flirt well as opposed to be a good man.
This is the sad, sad truth for most of the girls, including Christian girls, you will meet in your life. The good news is that, while rare, there are girls who are smart enough to realize that the type of guys that most girls are attracted to are actually a bunch of idiotic jerks. Many of the girls on this forum are this type of rare girl. Yes, you will still have to make this type of girl "feel things," but she will at least recognize and be attracted to good qualities as opposed to all bad qualities.
My point here is this: if you want to attract lots of girls, work on becoming a funny-cocky, very charming, physically attractive, emotionally unavailable, mainipulative pseudo-jerk with just hints of a "heart of gold" (though actually possessing a heart of gold is not necessary). If you want to eventually attract the right girl work on developing your relationship with God, primarily. You may need to work on your appearance some, you may need to work on being more confident around girls, but the foundation of what you need to do is mature in Christ.
Being able to attract lots of girls sounds really nice sometimes, but it comes with quite the catch. The exact personality traits that initially attract a girl are the very things that will push her away. You then find that these guy who are really good at attracting lots of girls, the kind of guy girls always seem to go for, can't keep a girl to save their life. The other path you can go down will probably involve lots of rejection, lots of pain, and lots of no interest from girls; but eventually, the right girl will come along, see and be attracted to all the right things in you (though being a little more confident [not to the point of arrogance] and more physically attractive [it's not a huge deal to this sort of girl, but it does help] can only help), and she will totally blow you away.
It's your choice. |

wow, David, har har.
Way to be cynical and assuming.
Men and women think completely differently, but men are definitely the crazy ones who can't keep two thoughts in their head at the same time.
*That's me being cynical* I really love guys, and maybe the reason it's so easy to be so picky about who to date is because guys are so intent on attracting girls. When it's painfully obvious that a guy is desperate for a girl, any girl, it's no fun anymore, and besides, he's always there to fall back on, since he acts like a loyal puppy who won't go away. |

Guys are completely crazy as well. I never meant to imply that girls are the only ones who are crazy.
Actually, men are fully capable of multitasking, just as women are fully capable of a great deal of focus. It is simply comes a little more naturally to men to be able to focus and women to multitask; this does not make them gender exclusives.
If we weren't intent on attracting girls no one would ever get into a relationship. I rarely see girls going after guys, particularly Christian girls. You girls make us be the pursuers.
I'm sorry if what I said was offensive, but it is true for the vast majority of girls. Truth is, romantically speaking, most girls aren't worth touching with a ten foot pole (as I'm sure you would agree that, romantically speaking, most guys aren't worth it). It's the rare, actually decent girls that give us hope, even if we have to wade through plenty of crappy girls and lots of rejection to find her.

I get where you're coming from David, and I think only once you get to our age do you really realize how silly both guys and girls can be. and you get annoyed at it...
at the moment Im annoyed at silly girls @ youth who are behaving in exactly the way you mentioned. and even some of the "more mature" if i can put it that way, girls their age think they're being stupid etc.
one poor guy invested alot of himself into a relationship and the girl cut him down and dumped him horribly, and now, only like a week or so after it, she starts being interested in a "jerk" guy and is making the previous guy feel like crap and I've told her it's not on and she should grow up and get a clue, but she hasn't and the poor guy is finding it so hard to get over, cuz he felt like she was the girl he was gonna marry... |

Now I'm really getting mixed signals, because I've always been told that guys are supposed to be the ones to pursue, that it makes a stronger relationship, blahblahblah, in Christian circles. Only in the secular world do the girls go after the guys- that's what has been pounded into my mind.
I know girls who totally go after the guys, in any case. |

Considering what's been spoken here, What are the clues that us guys should look for in girls? What tasks would be needed for a guy to find the right girl?

Adelynn, I have typically agreed with you. However, a new concept has me pondering if that's true or not: a redemptive-movement hermeneutics. Look up the book Slaves, Women and Homosexuals. It's very good.
I really love guys, and maybe the reason it's so easy to be so picky about who to date is because guys are so intent on attracting girls. When it's painfully obvious that a guy is desperate for a girl, any girl, it's no fun anymore, and besides, he's always there to fall back on, since he acts like a loyal puppy who won't go away.
What I said, though, was actually in response to this. Guys are so intent on attracting girls because, by force or by design, that is our allotted position. And a guy who you can always fall back on is not a guy to be dismissed lightly. |
