Guys ask girls - girls ask guys!!!

[dluvs2trvl]

So I was reading through another thread and I got the idea to start this thread...

What are those burning questions that you've always wanted to ask the opposite sex? Could be about dating...do guys like to be the one to ask for a date or do they really like a girl to ask them out....could be about relationships....or what gift would really be appreciated....or does a girl really like it when I guy brings flowers....or what does a guy really mean when he says ______________ or what does a girl really mean when she says ____________ ....

This thread is all about asking for opinions and advice from the opposite sex...

So let's start talking and helping each other learn how to relate to the opposite sex...

I've inspired you yet again!

I still want to know why tall guys like petite girls. I'm 5'9" and I want a man that can curl me up in his arms, so he's gotta be tall. But, I just can't compete with petite (yea, I know it rhymes lol). So what gives, y'all...why do tall guys like shorter women??

Yes you did! And excellent question by the way! I'd also like to hear some guys opinions on this as well!!!

To tick off us medium/short guys, cause they know the tall girls won't date us.

A website I once frequented had a "He Says" and "She Says" sub-forum for stuff like this. Very interesting. Perhaps it could work here.

As for the taller men-shorter women issue, I'm not particularly tall, but I'll venture a guess that it has to do with making the guy feel strong and macho and the protector role. I suppose it would be awkward for me if I dated a woman who was A LOT (like 5-6 inches) taller than I was.

I can understand that logic. I guess I just don't understand why a taller guy that could still feel like a protector with a taller women will still choose a women that is as much as a foot or more shorter than he is. It truly baffles me.

So - what'dya want to know about us ladies, guys??

I've got the opposite question: why do (many, but thankfully not all) girls insist on a tall guy - someone in the 5"10 and up category? As someone three inches below the height requirement, it gets annoying after awhile. No offense.

How would guys feel about my opinion that guys should make the first move because they're "hunters by nature"? Not that women shouldn't flirt, but I do think that guys should do the asking out part. And pick her up if he has a car. And pay. (First date anyway.)

 

[Margim]

Alright, here's a couple (in no particular order with no particular continuity between questions)...

What do you wish guys would notice about you?

What is it about shoes anyway?

What kind of things do you do to let a guy know you are interested in them?

Why do bathroom visits always have to happen in groups?

Chocolates and flowers: Are they overrated?

What really happened to JFK?

Personally, I don't think there should be hard and fast rules.

If the woman is more confident, then there is nothing wrong with her initiating.

If she likes driving, then there is nothing wrong with her operating the car.

And I think that guys paying is a dated tradition, going back to the days when men were the money winners, and women were 'submissive' housewives. Today, women are encouraged and expected to have careers, meaning they are earning as much or more than 'their' men in some cases. Thus, I think it reasonable for each to pay for their own, or the higher earner taking a bit more responsibility... male or female.

What do you wish guys would notice about you? How I spent like an hour coordinating my outfit to match perfectly.

What is it about shoes anyway? I'm not a shoe girl. I love flip-flops though. I even wear them when it's raining!

What kind of things do you do to let a guy know you are interested in them? It's a secret.

Why do bathroom visits always have to happen in groups? Because we like to talk about our dates/SO's and then get mutual feedback on if we look ok or not. And it's much more fun going to the bathroom with other people.

Chocolates and flowers: Are they overrated? After a fight, is the worst time to get them. For fun, I like them.

What really happened to JFK? He was shot by some crazy dude.

As an introvert, I hate it.
Being hunters by nature doesn't mean we are the only ones allowed to take the initiative.

LOL

 

[AlohaAquamarine]

What is it about shoes anyway? I dress from the shoes up. I love shoes, but I don't spend stacks on them, I go for quantitiy rather than quality ;o)

Why do bathroom visits always have to happen in groups?So we can talk. Simple ! Lol !

Chocolates and flowers: Are they overrated? Depends on the reason they are given. If it's to replace an apology for something, but if it's spontaneous then def not over rated. But after a little while if I was going to be surprised with something I'd rather it be something that related just to me, to show that he's paid attention to who I am and what I like. Or just a take away coffee and a kiss would do too !

What really happened to JFK? Death by shoe shopping ? lol

 

[simpletrust]

What do you wish guys would notice about you?

Lots of little things, including that I don't go to the bathroom in groups

What is it about shoes anyway?

All the different kinds! I personally find shoe shopping difficult because my feet are wide at the front and narrow at the heel, so actually finding a shoe that fits is the height of shopping excitement.

What kind of things do you do to let a guy know you are interested in them?

Hasn't been many occasions that I've wanted to, nut on those occasions, I've been a bit touchy feely, or smile more, extend eye contact, or sometimes just say "Want to drive me home?" at the end of the day. All of that sounds lame written down, hey! But at the time it seems to get the message across, if the message is wanted.

Why do bathroom visits always have to happen in groups?

No idea. I can't even imagine why its such an attractive concept.

Chocolates and flowers: Are they overrated?

Nah. As long as they're not overdone, I reckon they're nice

Bear in mind I was only referring to the first date, and it's not necessarily a hard and fast rule. Just something I'd appreciate. Too much to ask for one date? Bit of effort for the first impressions?

I don't think being an introvert necessarily means you shouldn't make a move. What if you miss out? Okay if you really really hate it I'm sure it doesn't matter because there are PLENTY of girls who completely disagree with me and would love to make the first move.

My ex boyfriend is a major introvert. He's incredibly shy around girls. But if there's a girl he likes, nothing can stop him from asking her out. He's still shy when he's asking, but he's said it's "worth the momentary anxiety" even if he gets rejected, because he knows he had a go at it and no longer has to beat himself up over whether or not he should ask. And he generally doesn't give up after just one try either. I know, you probably don't believe me, but seriously, he IS shy.

Tisn't true ... I'm 6'6" and I love tall women. only problem is there are none around when you need them. I think your complaint about the choosing the short girls thing is more a case of accepting what is available and not first preference.

BTW petite doesn't mean short
