What Guys Wish Girls Knew

Let’s face it, the male species is a pretty mysertious flock. So here’s a few things guys at CLU said that they want us girls to know:

Letting a girl know you like her:

If we have a really good connection and I want to pursue a relationship with her, I would tell her.

Tell her. It doesn’t happen often for me, so it’s important not to pass it up. It’s usually point blank for me.

Let me warm up around you. If I like you, I might be a little nervous.

I would give you small hints, like try to see you more often, go to places where you can see me.

What guys like:

Honesty, vulnerability, trust, and, most of all, dedication to something bigger than each other.

It’s cute when you dress cute—sun dresses are absolutely adorable.

This is important, but it’s supposed to be fun. Be okay with embarrassing failures otherwise success will be hard to enjoy. Be courageous enough to fall in love and afraid enough to enjoy it.

What I would want a potential partner to know about me before entering in a relationship is that I get stressed out easily. I sometimes overload and need him to cheer me up and give me the extra motivation to keep going.

Unless you look like Jillian Michaels from “The Biggest Loser,” sporty girls are okay. I just don’t want to have to worry about getting beaten up by my girlfriend.

It’s attractive when you wear your hair back…like really attractive.

I like it when my partner has life goals, and has their life together, which a lot of that is detectable in the way that they approach their schoolwork. 

I like a sense of humor—the kind of humor that’s not raunchy.

Relationships:

I would say, the most important thing I think in order for a relationship to succeed is patience. Even though two people who are romantically involved with each other, and may have similar interests, they might not have similar personalities. With that comes the patience in order to get used to and know how to react when the other person does something that you may not like. 

What’s important? Communication. I want to know if you’re angry so I can fix it and prevent it from it from happening again.

You should be able to voice your thoughts and feelings about any situation when you’re frustrated with your partner.

There are two types of guys out there: some get jealous, some don’t.

We play it off like we’re not jealous, but inside we probably actually are.

Deal-breakers:

A relationship ruiner would have to be a lack of motivation. Not just with school, but for anything in general.

If you’re super passive aggressive and don’t really open up to just talk about your problems—I wouldn’t want that quality in a woman.

If you listen to Justin Bieber, it’s a deal-breaker.

The number one thing is to find a woman who doesn’t want you to go shopping with her.

Mixed signals are annoying.

And a Few Other Things to Think About:

Don’t expect to be paid for every time. Maybe for the first couple dates, but if you are in a relationship, it should be give-and-take. 

Don’t get too invested in a relationship, it’s important to have friends other than just your significant other.

Have respect for yourself, don’t be looking for attention through guys, be comfortable with yourself.

We jam to Taylor Swift, too.

If we offer to pay, then let us, but don’t make us pay every time.

If you’re into me, make it clear, and if you’re taken, don’t flirt!

I love Netflix and chill. Not like Netflix and “chill,” but, like, Netflix and cuddle.

A little perfume goes a long way.

Sarcasm is sexy.

Don’t try so hard to be liked or to impress someone.

Confidence is really hot.

We go on pinterest, too.

We may say we don’t judge based on looks, but that’s a filthy lie.
