DO girls find boys passionate about something as an attractive quality?

[White_Wolf3]

for example, i love and enjoy photography, and if i could actually choose i would decide to be a photographer, not a lawyer but oh well, anyway, do girls like guys to be passionate about something, especially something they can both share or is not gender exclusive or unpopular for a gender?

[neonbat]

Of course! People can be passionate about anything, and no matter what that thing is, and I think it's wonderful seeing someone have something that makes them motivated and happy, and it's definitely an attractive quality! I think it's strange when someone *doesn't* have something they feel strongly about! Whether a person follows their passion as a hobby in their free time, OR is they follow it as a career, seeing somebody interested and motivated by something is a very positive quality,
More specific to your description, as an artist myself, I understand the 'money problems' backlash you may get (always from those who don't understand how the art industry works), but *please* don't let that knock you down.

[White_Wolf3]

Well, thanks a lot, it's nice to hear it from an artist

[Anonymous]

I think it's great when a guy is passionate about something. When someone has a passion they're willing to be committed, hard working, and they have perseverance which are all qualities I'd love for a guy to have. It's great that you know what you like and what you want to do with your life, not a lot of people do. I'd love to date a guy who I can share my passions with and who can share his passions with me. As long as you have balance in your life, it's great. Don't spend all your time on photography.

[White_Wolf3]

thanks, i don't, i can't anyway, unless i was sure i could live very well out of it, for now i guess i'll just study laws, my whole family did, so i can place myself very well if i do

[Opinion Owner]

You sound exactly like me! I'm an artist but everyone wants me to be an architect like everyone else in my family. Besides most artists aren't famous until after they die.

[White_Wolf3]

yea, i guess its sort of ironic, but i don't mind being that popular, as long as i'm happy and make a nice living out of it it's fine by me

[Opinion Owner]

What I meant was it's hard to afford the cost of lucid as an artist cause we don't make much money in our lifetime. After we die and we become famous, people start paying tons of money for artwork.

[BaileyJansen]

yes. I've never been attracted to thugs or "bad boys" who sit around smoking weed and bragging about how many girls they've slept with.. ew.

I like guys who stay out of trouble, and have a passion (like a sport or music, singing, hobby etc...) they are the nice one's who i would rather date :)

PLEASE answer my most recent question (the survey one) .. I'm desperate :( It would mean a lot!

[White_Wolf3]

glad to know, guess we would really hit it off, gimme one sec and i'll answer, also, what do you have for a passion?

[BaileyJansen]

My passion is competitive golf, and I sing (take singing lessons and have been in some musicals)

[Koldhearted]

Lol no

If it can make you money then maybe.

No chick is gonna be into a guy that is passionate about say video games or harry potter role playing. At least being passionate about it isn't what she's attracted too

[White_Wolf3]

hehe no i know but i mean passionate as a personality trait, not necessarily in something, by the way i dont mean if it makes money or not, again it's just a personality trait, and i'm a teenager so making money isn't really my thing atm anyway

[Koldhearted]

Like I said the answer in the long run is no. Just being passionate about SOMETHING isn't an attractive trait.

[White_Wolf3]

well it looks like the 7 peole of the opposite sex that have answered that think very differently

[Koldhearted]

they're being politically correct because that's what we're led to believe is attractive

Do you really think being passionate about things like harry potter role playing, video games, and competitive hop skotch is attractive?

[White_Wolf3]

that's why the question says "things they can relate to" like art, sports, etc. not video games or really geeky stuff, i enjoy those things myself, i love playing video games and reading comics, but i would never go up to a girl and tell her the stuff i like the most are the comics of batman and far cry 4 or something

[Koldhearted]

You actually started by just asking if being passionate is an attractive trait and then at the very end added something.

If you share this passion then ofc you will each see the other as more attractive, unless you don't find those kike yourself attractive.

[Southerngirl99]

Of course! I would much rather be with a guy who has something he is passionate about to talk about at the end of the day instead of, "honey how was your day? I made $5,000 and was miserable." The light of happiness in his eyes over what he is passionate about is extremely attractive to me.

[White_Wolf3]

Wow, if it wasn't inappropriate i would ask you for your phone number

[Southerngirl99]

I'll take that as a compliment : )

[White_Wolf3]

it is

[Southerngirl99]

Photography is a very cool hobby. I enjoy it myself.

[White_Wolf3]

what kind of photo do you do?

[Southerngirl99]

I like taking pictures of landscapes. Especially at sunset.

[White_Wolf3]

same here, i love the combination it can take with urban environments, and messing with the light is so much fun

[Southerngirl99]

I prefer shots of the country. We have a pond on a hill half surrounded by cedar and the sunset hits it just right where there is a really cool reflection. Haven't been able to get a good picture. Any tips?

[White_Wolf3]

Oh my where to start, well, this sounds crazy, but you could put a swing on it maybe swing on it in a picture, where you can see the leaves and the trunk of the tree, and the shadow contrast it does with the light is amazing and you looking at the pond, if you're into that, also i've found if you're trying to experiment, toy camera effects look amazing, if the sky is nice you could take a picture of the tree on the side the pond in the middle and the sky using 1/3, maybe 2/3 of the picture with the sun setting, honestly i'd have to see a pic.

[Southerngirl99]

I'm pretty computer illiterate and don't know how to post links and stuff. Sorry : (. Thanks for the advice.

[White_Wolf3]

thats ok hope I helped

[emmabee11]

It depends how they put it across, if they they sound like everyone else like "I'm hard working and very passionate about it, i love to... " bla bla bla i'm bored... lol you sound like parrots... i like uniqueness, tell me how you love it in your own words... i'm not an employer lol, and show me that your actually having fun with it not just saying it, express yourself, otherwise i'm not going to take it seriously.

[White_Wolf3]

omg your comment really made me laugh, a lot of people sound like that when i first meet them, thanks for sharing

[emmabee11]

hehe it makes me laugh too but a lot of the time annoyed because they don't even know they are doing it because they hear everyone else say the same things but they don't realize it just sounds like they are reading from a script. Many people just say things these days to try and sound good like they do to their employers but honestly what made them think that I would like to "hear what i want to"?, i'm different so i don't like to only hear what i want to nor do i like telling people what they want to hear. But they most likely don't actually really enjoy it... lol.

[White_Wolf3]

that happens a lot, also a lot of my friends try to like impress girls with everything they've got, so they mostly end up annoyed or overwhelmed, i can't think of which is worse

[emmabee11]

That would put me off straight away lol i'm not into materialism because friends i've had stole from me and set me up doing it and every argument i've ever had with family has been about money or items, and every problem my bro has had was because of girls using him for money, so i just don't care for stuff.

[White_Wolf3]

can people from this forum please exist more in reality? seriously

[emmabee11]

I know i feel the same as you, we are out there but just hiding lol

[White_Wolf3]

well this will probably be a long search :P

[emmabee11]

We are usually the ones who don't dress like others sitting on our own in libraries or just generally sitting on our own lol yeh...

[White_Wolf3]

that's me too, lol, talking about books, have you read palo alto by james franco?

[emmabee11]

Noop but... *googles this* lol but have you read Paper Towns?

[White_Wolf3]

hehe, nope, what is it about? i want a good book to read because i'm almost done with palo plato

[White_Wolf3]

alto* lol

[emmabee11]

Paper Towns in similar contexts, it's kind of a teen book, Paper Towns is about a girl called Margo who never really fit in but she is incredibly smart, she is friends with Augustus and one nigh she turns up to his window dressed as a ninja, she takes him on some crazy revenge adventures until she goes missing and leaves clues for him to find her, i can't tell you more as it will give it all away, it's by John Green, i also love his other books Looking for Alaska, Fault in our stars (you've prbably seen it in the cinema), and An abundance of katherines, all books for teens but adults read them too.

[HoshiOMitte]

YES! VERY attractive! It goes for both guys and girls I think actually. Having a passion is amazing, you're a much happier, brighter person when you do things you love, and that is really sexy to a girl.

[White_Wolf3]

well that's good to know, thanks

[DragonWolf]

I also really like photography.
To answer your question:
Its nice to have something in common with the person you love.
Its great when they can just follow their dreams and do what they want. :)
What makes him happy, also makes me happy :D

[White_Wolf3]

Nice, thanks

[DragonWolf]

No problem :)
Better do something you like, then something that might earn a lot but you hate to do.

[_Xenia]

Yesssssss!!! I love it when a guy is really passionate about something, it makes him somehow more special in my eyes. Especially if I also really like what he his passionate about. (it's only uncool if it's like video games... :-/)

[White_Wolf3]

hehe i imagined someone would reply that about video games, anyway, do you think all that helps with girls, i enjoy many things when i have the time, like playing guitar, reading, writing and drawing (even though i'm terrible), rugby also, but what do you enjoy most like do you think some guys are sexy cause they're really into a sport or something or like something you can both share and he can transmit or feel with you?

[_Xenia]

Well both, I think what I like is when a guy is really committed into something, something that makes him special from just any guy, whether it is sports or photography...

[White_Wolf3]

What do you enjoy?

[matutina19sag]

I do!! Being passionate about something and how u show it says a lot about how passionate you are to your future gf. I believe passionate guys are very sexy

[White_Wolf3]

awesome, thanks

[menina]

Sure. It's a plus, so it makes him more attractive.

[linkywinky]

I love it. It shows that he's not an emotionalless turd. And I love hearing about it and seeing how happy his passion (s) make him.

[White_Wolf3]

Same here, what do you enjoy doing?

[Soph0120]

Yes Definitly. It's good to have a passion, especially one you can share with a Gf/Bf.

[White_Wolf3]

nice, i hope when i get a gf i'll have something like that to share with her

[Anonymous]

I think it's definitely attractive for a guy to have something he's passionate about. Now, it seems like guys just don't care about their future and want to party all the time, don't care about schooling, etc. I always find it extremely attractive for a guy to have a passion or thing he's passionate about because then there's more to talk about and I know for a fact he's actually committed to doing something he enjoys.

[White_Wolf3]

That's cool, what are you passionate about?

[Opinion Owner]

I'm passionate about music and singing.

[White_Wolf3]

well that's awesome, love to sing too, it's a shame i don't have time to develop all those abilities, do you have a band?

[Opinion Owner]

I was in a band at one point, I was the lead singer and we did gigs around the town. It was awesome! But now I'm taking voice lessons with a girl who works at a record label so hopefully things go well. What about your photography?

[White_Wolf3]

That is great, what's your style?
I've been into it for almost a year now, it's one of the few things that make me very happy, i originally started because the girl i liked at school did it, and i looked at all the stuff she had, her pictures were so deep, meaningful, and she could transmit that to others, and i wanted that for me.

[Opinion Owner]

I don't really have a style, I've literally sang old rock, pop, country.. Just a lot of stuff. But that's actually really cute that you got into that because of that reason! Hope things go well for you.

[White_Wolf3]

It's a lost cause, but she did get me into this anyway, one way or another, and i'll never stop.
That's nice, i'd like to hear you sing, do you like the xx?

[_lovii_]

As a passionate singer, definitely!
It's makes the guy more interesting and often guys with a passion are more boyfriend-material because they are more creative and fun but that's just how I see it.

[White_Wolf3]

most people here seem to agree

[_lovii_]

We fellow girls have a similar way of mind 😋

[White_Wolf3]

yea it seem s a lot like that

[Anonymous]

Yes, i love when people are passionate about the things they love!!

On a side note, can we see some of your pics :)

[White_Wolf3]

well i'm not very good, i enjoy macros, but mostly landscaping, photographing people, life and street photography most, but i've only been on it for like a year, so i'm not very good, my teacher says i have a good eye and i am very deep on the meanings i give to photos but it's also very undeveloped

[Opinion Owner]

Doent matter how long youve been at it or how good you are at it, if you enjoy it then keep doing it!!

[White_Wolf3]

thanks :)
i'll message you them when i pass them into my laptop

[Opinion Owner]

Cool thanks :)

I also enjoy taking pics so i like to see other people works (in case you were wondering why i wanted to see your pics lol)

[White_Wolf3]

do you have an instagram? i'd love to see them, mine has like 6 pics of stuff i took with my iPod a long time ago :P i haven't uploaded any of my "Good stuff"

[Opinion Owner]

here's my deviantart (dnot have an instagram) https://flowerhippie22.deviantart.com/

[White_Wolf3]

:=O they are so beautiful! thanks for sharing, also the quotes :3

[Opinion Owner]

Thanks, glad you like them :)

[Anonymous]

yes! I really like it.

[White_Wolf3]

that's great, what's the most interesting thing you've liked in a guy? like a hobby i mean

[Opinion Owner]

I like when guys have a goal or go after a job they really want. It doesn't matter what the profession is. If he is a write, I like it when he is so determined to be the best writer. Because thats how I am. I am a determined person who goes after what I want and work really hard for it. So I guess I like that in guys to. Also i don't care what the hobby or profession is, just seeing him happy about it, makes me happy

[White_Wolf3]

That's great, there should be more people like you?
