Oh, and girls.
Does it impress you if a guy can sing and is musical, or does it seem cliche and show-offy?

@ Adalyn. Guys like girls. Even if we don't "like" a certain girl, we still like to know that they are paying attention to us. Does that make sense? |

| I have a question... everyone says that people point their belly buttons toward the person/thing they are most interested in the room. Fine, that's great (and very true- I definitely feel like the other person cares more about what I'm saying when they face me vs. not, whether they do or not) but, say a guy is leaning against the back of a chair in a group- wouldn't he have his belly button facing toward the other side of the group, so as to not cut anyone off, whether or not the person across from him is the most interesting person there to him? |

HAHA!!! once my boyfriend had his hands behind his head and I reached over to punch him in the stomach and somehow or anther my thumb went right in his belly button!!  I died of laughing! I have no idea how I aimed that well, kinda startled both of us!!
Ok how can you face someone if your belly button isn't facing them??? |

it's less conspicuous to have your whole body turned toward someone than to be looking at them over your shoulder the whole time  |

In this pic they are facing each other with their entire bodies: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/view?q=group+talking&psc=G&filter=1#5475200214237457170
In this one, the men on the left are only facing each other with their heads. http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/view?q=group+talking&psc=G&filter=1#5466481589837750690 |

| I see...the one girl might be giving the other her full attention and the other girl only giving half and observing the passers by!! I guess I never really thought about that theory! |

| Yay! Some guy out there has questions!
Hi! I'm Darcie, I'm 17, and I'll answer.
1: I like a man who is strong in the Lord. That kind of guy won't be afraid to let down walls sometimes. As a Christian, it is my job to be supportive and encouraging, so if a guy is struggling and wants prayer, I would love it if he felt that he could trust me to talk about things. Honesty is a must! It makes me kinda sad when a guy feels like he ALWAYS has to be cool... because he doesn't seem so genuine.
2: Well, it doesn't really matter to me too much, because the physical is less important. However, I personally do like short-ish hair. Clean cut, in between, ya know? Maybe a teeny bit long on the sides and back, or has bangs, but not like girl hair and please, no buzz cuts!
3: Again, I like a clean cut look. It doesn't take a lot of time for a guy to make himself look nice. Slightly loose tees, nice jeans, etc. are good. Btw, I like plaid button-ups and nice sweaters on you guys.
4: Text if it's just a quick question, or if it's late at night, but I love to take the time to actually TALK on the phone with a guy. Weekend mornings are good for that!
5: UGH! See number 1!
6: Something simple... maybe a picnic. I personally would like my first date to be with someone whom I'd consider marrying. I'd be like, "Hey, I don't need you to try to impress me. I don't want you to spend a lot of money on me. I love you for who you are, and all I want right now is your time so we can just talk and grow closer to God together". I am a pianist/violinist, so I would want to be able to play for Him (whoever He is), and it would be cool if he were a musician as well, or an artist and then he could show me his stuff too. I'd want us to worship God together.
7: Again, see number 1. There are some physical attributes that I find particularly handsome, but really, I am just looking for a man of God- someone who loves studying the Bible, serving others, loves kids, intelligent, cultivates fruits of the Spirit... oh! and of course he has to love ME!
8: I actually wear make-up simply for the fun of it. It is fun to play with, and I like to dress up for absolutely no reason! (You just might see me in a skirt on any random day!) I wear make-up about half the time, and when I do it, I always go light. Heavy make-up bugs me, because it hides what a girl really looks like.
9: In between Being physically fit is good (because God wants us to be good stewards of our bodies), and I admire young men who are dilligent.
10: Uh??? Probably not, because I want my man to be with me, not always away and fighting. I have noticed that most of my relationships suffer if there are extended periods of little to no communication. |

Hey, peeps! I haven’t been on here in forever! I like how this forum is developing. Sweet. I’m gonna answer some guys’ questions.
Does it bother you if guys act tough all the time?
Not really. I like guys to act masculine and girls act feminine, because I feel like that’s the way it should be. But if they’re trying to act tough when they’re not, it makes me think less of them. Like they're fake. I appreciate it when a guy isn’t afraid to show his true feelings without worrying about being “wimpy”.
Do you like long of short hair on guys?
I don’t like long hair as in girl-length (past shoulders) but I don’t like the crop/buzz-cut much either. I prefer in the middle, probably leaning on the long-ish side. Something with style, not just boring hair. Cool hair makes me look at a guy. Hair is usually one of the first things I notice (I am in cosmetology school, so that makes sense!). 
What do you prefer a guy to dress like?
I like a guy who dresses stylishly, but it has to be tasteful. I want him to wear his own style, and know what he can wear and what he looks good in. If he has to have help from his sister or girlfriend, that’s cool too. At least he’s trying! I don’t really have preferences on what I don’t like, though, I’ve never been too fond of the whole cowboy look, but I know some girls love it.
Text or Call?
It doesn’t matter much to me, either will do. I’m not picky. But I think if he calls instead of me calling him, it makes me respect him more because he’s trying to be the initiator. That’s one of the things I respect most in men, taking the lead in things, big or small.
Do you like super buff guys, or don't care?
It’s always nice to be around a guy who’s muscular, not just because it’s easy to look at  but I like to feel like if someone would look at me sideways, he’d sock ‘em. Hey, what can I say, I like being protected! I also think it’s attractive if a guy cares about looking good. But that doesn’t mean he has to be the Hulk. As long as the guy isn’t super skinny or overweight, I don’t care. I can deal with anything in between.
What would be your perfect first date?
Something simple. I’m a pretty simple person, easily pleased. You don't need to impress me. If I'm going out with you, I already like you. If it’s something you put thought into and make me feel special, I’ll be happy no matter what it is. Especially if you plan it yourself (since you’d have to be the one asking me out, I’m not taking the man’s role).
What characteristics do you look for in your future husband?
I’m not too picky personality-wise, because I figure God know what I want more than I do, but this is what I have on my list: he must love God, then me, his family, my family, then other people before himself. He must use all of his talents for God’s glory, share my religious beliefs, and help me grow in Christ. He must be the leader, initiator, and protector (the “man”), loyal, honest, hardworking, and chivalrous. He must want to be pure and do anything to protect my purity and also his own and not pressure me into things I don’t want to do, whether it has to do with purity or not. He must not smoke, drink, do illegal drugs, cuss, or have violent bouts of anger.
What is up with your makeup? Do you really need that much?
For me personally, people say they can’t even tell I’m wearing makeup, because I apply it so it enhances my good features and evens out my bad instead of covering my face with makeup. Sometimes I feel like I’m not getting enough credit for how hard I work on making it look perfect, but I’m constantly reminding myself that if people don’t notice it, it’s the sign of a good makeup job.
A lot of girls (including myself) think makeup is fun to play with. Sometimes we get wacky with it, just for fun. But a lot of girls feel like they need it to look beautiful. I think you’d be able to tell the difference between that, though. Being a girl is more stressful and full of pressure than you probably think.
Do you prefer an athlete or a nerd?
I’m gonna get back at you guys for saying you like a girl who acts like a girl but is not afraid to get dirty (because, honestly, those are rare. We’re either one or the other). I would like to have a little of both in a guy. (But I’m aware it’s not fair!)
Military. Yes or no?
No, mostly because I believe violence is not the way to solve problems. Also because if I marry a guy, I want him to be with me, not overseas somewhere. (Not because I don’t trust him, just because I would miss being with him every day)
Why is it that every mirror you pass, you have to check how you look and change something?
Because we feel like we’re not good enough, not as pretty or trendy as the next girl. Ever since Eve ate from that tree of knowledge, women have been seeing every flaw critically. Sometimes it helps if you tell us we’re beautiful, but sometimes, Satan blocks the truth from our eyes.
Why do you still make a fuss about your hair/appearance even when we outright say (and say honestly) we really don't care how you look, we just want to spend the time with you?
See the above answer. And I’ll let you in on a little secret about this: be careful of your word choice. If you say “you look fine” or “I don’t care how you look”, we read that as we could look better but you’re tired of waiting/listening to us complain. If you can honestly say (because we know when you’re not honest), we look beautiful, stunning, gorgeous, or any other strong words like that, we’re more likely to be satisfied with the way we look. Though if a girl has really low-confidence issues, that might not help, but it certainly can’t hurt.
Does it impress you if a guy can sing and is musical, or does it seem cliché and show-offy?
It impresses me. I love it. Even more if he uses it to make me feel special, and more than that if he uses it to worship God wholeheartedly.
I hope that answers your questions! If you have any questions on my answers, I'll try to get back on here and answer them. |

I think most guys dont like weddings cuz us girls tend to go psycho, but it often is a different story when it's their own...
like some people dont like kids, until they have their own...
anyways, all guys are interesting, and there is a girl for every type of guy out there...
so I tend to like musicians, dancers and blonde blue eyed guys, but, that doesn't mean I dont fall for others...
put it this way, every girl is different, and will like different things, so just be yourself... in short. |

Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live

Well, I feel like I've answered a lot of the questions that have been aimed toward the girls, but I will answer the ones wjr1991 asked because that's a subject a bit near to my heart
Why is it that every mirror you pass, you have to check how you look and change something?
-Well perhaps not every time, but I suppose often enough that guys tend to notice. Anyway, for girls, we like to see that we look our best, I don't necessarily change something, but I know some girls do. I will be honest, I wear eyeliner, though I would hope not overly much, and sometimes it does run, so then would be a time to check it. For the most part though, girls can be overly critical of themselves.
Why do you still make a fuss about your hair/appearance even when we outright say (and say honestly) we really don't care how you look, we just want to spend the time with you?
-Haha I'll say it again, girls can be overly critical of themselves. When we hang out with friends, and sometimes especially guys, we want to look our best and feel at least satisfied with how we look. I will tell you one thing: DivineRomance pretty much nailed it with the secret. How you guys phrase things can make a big difference. You might say one thing, and we girls will hear another. You guys have a lot more influence in our lives than you might think. |

Yeah good point Nicole and Divine Romance...
girls can read ANYTHING into anything.... A guy can say one day "you're awesome" and you might start thinking "OMGosh, am I pretty? why asm I awesome, does he like me? do i want him to like me? or is he just saying that because he's trying to cheer me up, but doesn't really think that?" we examine from almost EVERY angle haha
I'll check myself in the mirror, not heaps, but sometimes to make sure my shirt is sitting properly and adjust it if it isnt, to make sure I dont have Panda eyes (hehe Panda ) or if i look red and flustered, and I can't stand bad hair... it ticks me off, I'm like STAY IN PLACE!! haha. idk... not really about impressing a guy at all, just about looking presentable, and idk making sure I dont look like a skank... |

Yes good point Jo! Hair is another reason why girls might look in the mirror, especially if she's having a bad hair day- just stay in place! She might also check to make sure her outfit looks okay, not riding too low, or out of place. Essentially she just wants to make sure she looks okay.
Yes panda eyes! Haha we definitely don't want to be walking around with panda eyes- as cute as the actual animal is. ^_^
We don't check every mirror we walk by, least not most girls I know of, but we will once in a while, or so just to make sure we look decent, pretty, matching, etc.
If wjr1991 wants to see his answers posted here, he better get on soon enough |

I like walking down a row of mirrors...cuz I always wonder what everyone sees from behind hehe and sometimes it's a gum wrapper or cheerios from the kids that everyone is seein' back there
and Nicole said it all pretty well. I don't always get why girls are so insecure about their looks |

| @Beckah... yes it is hard. Not that I'm ever like, "Wow, I'm so gorgeous," but the vain as in worrying about my appearance too much. Recently I've been getting up at 6:15 to do devotions for 25 mins. Then that leaves me only 27 minutes to eat breakfast and get ready. That way, for every minute in front of the mirror or getting dressed, I am spending a minute in God's word and prayer. But of course, I have a school uniform so it's easier for me to get ready in the morning. (: |
