What does a teenage girl about 14-16 like in boys?

I’m really just curious
- I am 17, so I’m not sure if I’m eligible to answer this question, but since I was 16 until about a few months ago, I will give this a go anyway.
My taste in guys has evolved a lot since I was 12. When I was around 11-12, I read a LOT of fan fictions involving “bad boys” and whatnot. I had an unrealistic and a rather toxic image of what my dream guy should be. However, I outgrew that phase when I was about 15 or 16, and now I’m much more mature. I have a clear cut idea of what I want in a partner.
I will preface this by saying that I want a decent human male. However, since you have placed a clear emphasis on a more detailed answer, I will list out a few qualities that I expect in a partner. I will not compensate on this.
1) intelligence - which is basically the ability to hold an animated conversation with me. I like guys who like to have a healthy debate. Keeps the spark alive.
2) kindness - i do not tolerate people who are unkind and rude. That is a pristine example of a “red flag” in my book. If he is rude to waiters (people belonging to the service sector in general) or anyone unwarranted, i would not go on another date with him.
3) empathy - i want someone who can empathize with my feelings well. I do not want an insensitive partner
4) good hygiene - I place a colossal importance on my hygiene. I expect my partner to do the same. I would not like to kiss a guy with bad breath. I certainly do not want to cuddle with someone who hasn’t showered in 3 days.
5) open mindedness - I do not like judgmental people. They put me off. Open minded people are flexible, and are not fixed in their opinions. They are willing to change their minds if proven wrong and are more accepting of everyone.
6) Someone who cares for me and showers me with attention and love - My love language is words of affirmations and physical touch. I like spending quality time with my partner. i want someone i can depend on when I’m feeling down or going through a tough time.
7) Someone who does not play mind games with me. I don’t want a guy who gives me mixed signals or flakes on me. It shows his lack of respect for me as a person, and it is a tell tale sign of immaturity.
8) I have saved the best for the last. Loyalty - probably something everyone expects in their partner. I strongly abhor cheaters.Is this still revelant?- Show All Show Less
Thank you kindly (=
It took about 5 minutes for me to type all of this, lol. I type fastand yes, I was a rather clownish girl back then. Certainly not the same person anymore. I've done some self reflection and decided to act more mature. (=
And that’s why I have autocorrect on! But I do hate it sometimes because it sometimes turns some words into something I didn’t even mean. I have a love hate relationship with it.
As long as it is not of sexual nature, sure! I do not tolerate sexual or explicit messages
- Depends on the girl. I was leaning to tomboy at that age still. I found boys made more sense than girls that age. Were more fun to be around generally. They used to like me to get a girls perspective too. Also more interested in horses than boyfriends, and they chased their own interests and girls. Everyone is different.Is this still revelant?

31- Hey! Im typing from my cousin’s account, but don’t worry, I’m in the right age range for you. Anyways, here’s what I’d like:
1. Intelligence - I don’t mean you have to be Albert Einstein or Sheldon Cooper, but I want a guy to be able to hold his own in a conversation with me and I want him to genuinely be able to talk in the things I’m interested in. If you can argue and banter with me like a pro I assure you I will fall head over heels for you.
2. Be nice - If you’re rude to me, I’m obviously not going to like it, but if you’re rude to other people, men, women, cat, dogs, tropical fish, it’s obviously a huge turn-off and it’s incredibly annoying when you find out the guy you like is an asshole.
3. Be decent and have manners. If you’re using your phone in class and not paying attention, I’m almost certainly not going to like you and it’s so annoying when people don’t respect teachers when they’re taking class. Say sorry, excuse me, pardon and thank you - most girls will say “Oh, what a gentleman, he’s so sweet!” if you say that in passing even if they don’t know anything else about you. Personal experience - two of my friends about a guy who’s actually not that nice.
4. Take initiative. Go out of your way to talk to me. Make an effort to ask a question, or a contribution in class. Say hello and smile. Start a club for the hell of it! Get your name out there. I don’t know if this is for all girls, but I do know I love it when guys take initiative.
5. Be straightforward. Don’t play mind games or make her wish she could look into your mind. Some girls may like it, but the majority hate when you play with their feelings and their minds. If you like her, tell her and don’t try to beat around the bush.
6. This is similar to what another girl said, but have empathy enough to understand how we feel and respect that we’re humans too. We don’t like it when guys treat us like shit and it makes us feel so happy when you make an attempt to understand how we feel.
7. Take care of yourself. Don’t come into class without showering for a week - make an attempt to have good breath, not stink and always look like you’re clean and not a filthy homeless dude.
8. This is in a nutshell, but Don’t judge people or be bigoted - girls hate when you’re racist and discriminatory. And last one, be faithful and loyal to her!

Wow you typed a lot and you must be close to your cousin
But okay for a girl I like
I’d like a nice girl that I get along with well, of course hygiene and stuff. I don’t know what more to list, just as long as I like her and the way she looks, plus being a person I like being with and talking to makes her more attractive
- Boys who are dominating and force me to take their cocks even when I don't want to xxxxxReact
