I am always hearing guy friends that I trust say that girls should go for the more shy or respectful type guys, not the players and flirts.
I would like more info on how girls should spot good guys to date. What are characteristics we can look for in a guy who we meet, an acquaintance, or a friend that would helps us know he's a guy we should go for, as opposed to a guy we should avoid?
Something I am willing to put money on is the fact that 'good' guys lurk in every social category created, in equal numbers.
Some shy guys are bad, some are good. Some outgoing guys are good, some are bad.
No matter how we break down the social traits, we will find equal numbers of good and bad guys in each one.
What I find to be true is that people should pursue who they feel a connection with. I don't mean the "Ohhh, that guy is so hot!" or "He is so witty." I mean the guy who they truly feel a connection with, that goes beyond lust, political ideology, religion, whatever.
And if a person is constantly going after a certain kind of guy, I say change it up and try someone out who is not what you would traditionally gravitate towards.
Dating should be about having new, different kinds of experiences, in the pursuit of making you more aware of what is out there, and more aware of yourself.
You learn far more about yourself by challenging your preconceptions, than to constantly try the same thing. Because if you do the same thing over and over again, you'll reach the same result.
Guys who are gym rats Guys who wear overly tight shirts with their collar popped. Guys who wear Ambercrombie & douche, Gap, American douchebag outfitter, or any of the sort. Guys who wear really big stupid sunglasses. Guys with faux hawks, hair gel and really stupid hair cuts. (these idiots travel in packs and are easily spotted.) Guys who wear hats cocked to the side of their head. Guys that wear giant necklaces. Guys who spend more time in a tanning booth than you. Guys with stupid tattoo work on their body...i.e. ( Tribals, any kind of asian lettering, barb wire, American flags, or sports team logos) Guys with really obnoxious ring tones. Guys who can not change a tire. Guys who have never fired a gun Guys who dress like cowboys in 21st century. Guys we are involved with Japanese animation in any form. Guys who work for banks, law firms, mortgage companies, car salesman, or any sort of male who ever went to school to specialize in business, finance, management, accounting or any other sort of fiscal douchebaggery. Guys who hit women Guys who stare at your t*ts while talking to you. Guys who use more street slang than their actual native language. Guys who wear lots of cologne Guys who are not avid readers Guys who are not pro choice. Guys that do not believe in Darwin's law of evolution Guys who are racist. Guys who slander homosexuals Guys who worship money, power, fame Guys that listen to really obnoxious music super loud in traffic. Guys who drug addicts, or alcoholics Guys who think they are the toughest man alive after they drink two budlights Guys who street race beyond the age of 20. Guys who are overly religious Guys that talk really loud all the time.
The following are good qualities to look for:
honesty, integrity, humility, a good sense of humor, passionate, ambitious, caring, kind, compassionate, understanding, compromising, reasonable, logical, sensible, understanding, loving, helpful, hopeful, positive, outgoing, and a few other adjectives you can look up on your own that make you smile.
We are soft spoken, we keep to ourselves, we don't ask for much, we have given more than we have received. We are usually all around you but you never noticed us because we don't advertise.
Anything worth having can not be bought cheap, gained quickly, or made poorly.

Answerer
You can't please all the people all the time. I never claimed to be perfect. I am just an observer with a lot of insight on what chracteristics are generally associated with a guy who will evolve into a douche. It's your heart getting broken by these idiots, not mine. - A month ago
I think Jbone79 is right. It's not bs at all if you want to avoid shallow guys. - A month ago

Thank you lucy. I'm a pretty quiet person. I'm an observe people and the behavior. I have found that most men who are/ or will become douchebags have some of or most of those traits. If it has feathers like a duck, quacks like a duck, and has a beak like a duck, then it must be a duck. - A month ago

Angel? It's obvious at this point that your lack the same substance as the the guys I mentioned. Your only 19 years old, so I get it. At your age, cute will always win out over shallow. You should run off a copy of my list, fold it up. Put it away for 10 years, and read it again on your 29th birthday. If you still feel the same after 10 years, your as empty headed as the douchebags I mentioned. Who knows, you may even be a douchebagette who is as shallow as they are? - A month ago

Little Hippie. One of the duties of my part time sh*t job whilst in college is to fill NOS bottles for street racers. Every Friday we get a house full of bottles brought in to our shop. Every person in there is a kid under the age of 20 except for these 3 guys who are like 40. Pathetic. Racing on a track has no age limit. Do it until your 100. But street racing at 40 years old and still thinking your cool? Give me a break! Even Vin Diesel looks like a fast and furious douchebag. - A month ago
A douchebagette lolll that made me laugh. Who knows? maybe I am. I like a guy that has a lot of the characteristics you mentioned so if he f***s me over then I will agree with you lol. So maybe before I turn 29 lol. - A month ago
