    I agree with most of your standards but why no skinny jeans?

      I think it's feminine

        • The standard rule is that you should automatically go and get rabies shots if you wake up to find a bat loose in your house. Unknown wild bats usually cause human rabies around the world. Also, house cats are the leading cause of fraudulent bank account activity.

            Okay, now that house cat thing sounds super cute! Just imagine kitty cats wearing hipster glasses and sitting at computers trying to hack into bank acounts; some are wearing sweaters, some are smoking cigarettes and they're all drinking coffee.

          I believe that guys shouldn't dress like women.

    You appear to have good standards. Of course, some of these will not be fulfilled as everyone has a little different personality and mannerisms. I think it's a good guide as long as you are willing to compromise in certain areas. (You will have to be the judge on these areas of compromise.) Good luck.

  • Well I guess all the working class and military guys are an automatic no for you? I can definitely agree on the skinny jeans standard though. Anytime I see a guy wearing skinny jeans I automatically think he is probably an immature douche whether I like to think that thought or not.

      • Why does the guy HAVE to be in college? What is it about him being in college that is so important to you?

          In America we need money to survive. I will have a good job so he should to. College is important to me. If a have kids with a guy I want my son to know that his parents went to college. We are supposed to be role models.

          • I guess that is good. Lets hope in the future college graduates will actually be able to get a job that matches their degree after graduation because right now if you have not secured a good internship somewhere, most graduates are probably going to be flipping burgers or worse because so very few people are hiring right now.

              Hopefully. And I respect the fact they they actually decided to go to college to so they can hopefully get a good job. That's the goal. And I respect it.

    One thing that confuses me as a guy is if I get a girls number and I keep messaging her, making all the effort and she is giving me mixed signals do I keep on messaging her? Because the insecure part of me would say to stop and take the hint that she doesn't want me, but girls don't like insecurity so really I should persist, confident that I'll win her over.
    But then you run the risk of being too keen and not taking the hint she no longer wants you to message her. So you kind of have to be a little insecure right?

    I'm really at a loss to understand what to do when faced in situations like this, which I guess, ironically, makes me insecure.

      Because no two girls are the same, there's no single answer. It all depends on the girl you're after. If someone actually wrote a book on women, it would be very unrealistic. There's no "men and women." Just people. And all people are different.

      When she starts sending mixed signals just be straight up and ask her if she is feeling you or not

      Can't disagree. I think her standards are reasonable.

        So do I, but she may find that she falls for someone who doesn't fit them all. I don't think we choose love based on these types of things as much as we think.

              In that case I agree. What you want, or think you want, may not be what you get and it can be a happy surprise.

    These standards seem pretty normal... But also "Typical".. And if he is older & isn't in school then he should have a productive job or aspiring goals of some sort..

    I think all of those standards are perfectly reasonable. They're the bare minimum for a lot of people.

    You are young, this will change.
    But good self-confidence is a good indicator that someone is pleased with the direction their life is going.
    Not to be confused with shy, sort of quiet, bashful. These people may not particularly feel insecure (like a loser), but don't particularly like to be the center of attention are round strangers.

    Skinny jeans never looked comfortable to me--- so you'll probably find plenty of guys that 1) like leg room or 2) just simply don't have legs that can fit in skinny jeans.

    These are all good qualities for the most part. It's normal and happy hunting ;-)

    I still fail to see how skinny jeans are unattractive but to each his (or in this case her) own.

    Those are very reasonable standards. Congrats. You don't want the first random douche that thinks he is cool, or the wuss that can't do shit with his life.
    You basically want a serious man that you can rely on.

    I respect that.
