have you heard that question? i certainly have... i never really had a good answer but i was asked it last friday, and so soon after a commenter on the blog mentioned that i was probably single (i am, i admit it) it got me to thinking... how does a guy decide what kind of girl he's interested in?
i've always been a fly by the seat of my pants sort of guy, i always figured i'd know what i want when i saw it... and it's not like that hasn't happened yet, either, but i don't really see that the girls who've piqued my interest actually fall into a particular type or category... aside from all of them being female (yes, that is a requirement), physically fit, and caucasian, they didn't really have much in common... long hair or short hair, brown hair or red hair or blond hair, tall or short, scientist or artist or other, voluptuous or not so much, girl-next-door or something more, etc...
oh, wait, there is one other thing they all seemed to have in common - they weren't particularly interested in me... i think i'm going to leave that out of the specification, though...
they were all pretty (nobody's specifically looking for an ugly girlfriend), at least to my eyes... i guess they've all been warm hearted too... and had good senses of humour...
do those attributes qualify as a type? i dunno... i think i'm going to continue with my i'll know it when i see it strategy, though, cause sticking to a type is too much like following rules... i don't like rules...

well it took you long enough to comment on my comment...so a girl has to be physically fit.. i recall a time when fat is where it's at...men don't know what they're missing. having sex with a very skinny women can be uncomfortable to men bone on bone not real good for the pelvis i thought you were interested in a bigger type girl at one time if my memeory serves me correct or were you just being nice. sometimes setting standards will only lead you to a life of solitaire..which i know you have been leading. There is no perfect type we all have imperfections you have to play the game and get knocked down sometimes to actually live a life i'm sure you don't want to alone by yourself. Your computer can't hold you and kiss you and call you George....believe me i'm not looking i'm just an old pick trying to play a game of catch
has to be physically fit? has to be? i'm pretty sure i just said they all were, not that they had to be...
i'm also pretty sure that i have never expressed romantic interest in anyone who could be considered "reubenesque"... not that i wouldn't, or couldn't - i just haven't...
i have been friends with some, of course - i'm not one of those people who believes guys and girls can't just be friends... in fact, i think it's important for a guy to have friends who happen to be girls - it helps keep you grounded...
and for the record - when i say physically fit, i don't mean perfect or buff... that would be far too high a standard to set (and it wouldn't have actually been true)... i just mean they were more or less on the trim side...
there is no need to get upset i was just trying to be friendly and offer some advice like friends do...so i guess that your interest in me was merely just a guy being nice? well please don't spare my feelings i guess the roof is on fire!!!!
upset? i thought you said you knew me...
anyways, yes, we were/are friends... i'm fairly certain that you were aware of that...
unless you aren't who i think you are... obviously this is something i'm going to have to verify by phone... sneaky ms. anoymous-pants...
