What are your favourite and least favourite things about the opposite sex?

Question

Besides having sex with them. What else?

Lliam · Accepted Answer

My favorite things:
- Their bodies are fascinating, alluring, captivating, so different from men.
- The way they move.
- The things they do to be attractive - makeup, hair, nails, clothes, skin care...
-They're soft, smooth and tender. My hand fits into the crook of their waist when walking together. It's nice when they place their soft little hand in mine.
- Their behavior: Vulnerable yet brave and willing to trust a man, especially when it comes to sex. They can be confident little bad asses and stand toe to toe as equals, even though a guy could break them in half. I admire that so much!
Their ability to assert themselves when they want to makes me think of videos I've seen of large predators being cowed by smaller creatures who face them off and stand their ground.
They are nurturing, empathetic, tender-hearted, intuitive and emotionally vulnerable. They can be demure at times.
Unlike men, they haven't been taught to hide tender feelings. I'm thinking specifically about crying when they are sad or when watching chick flix.
They tend to seek inclusion and consensus instead of just thinking about what they want. For example, by asking "Are you hungry?" instead of saying "I'm hungry."

Basically, it's their uniquely feminine qualities that I adore.

Least favorite things:
- They tend to overthink A LOT. Guys are capable of having one single thought in their head or not thinking at all. But women are always analyzing and processing how they feel, what they want, what someone may or may not have done. They are much more intrigued by soap opera-like, human interaction drama than are guys.
- Because they want to be inclusive and achieve consensus, they have trouble just saying what they want. That's what causes men to think that women expect them to read their minds. Men are straight forward. But a woman prefers for a man to deduce what she wants without telling him exactly what that is. It somehow makes her feel loved, understood and connected. Maybe that's because women communicate that way and understand each other perfectly. So being able to communicate as easily with her partner feels simpatico.
Here's a cliche' to illustrate the differences. If a woman asks a man what's wrong and he says "Nothing", he probably means nothing. He might have been thinking about the upcoming football game or about nothing at all. If a man asks a woman what's wrong and she says "Nothing", he's probably in trouble and needs to figure out what he did wrong. Lol
The good news is, the more men and women interact, the better they get at understanding each other's communication styles.

My favorite thing about girls is that they USUALLY aren't obnoxious and bother people like me. Most of the time, when girls talk to me there is a valid reason.

My least favorite thing is that when girls are obnoxious, they're 10x worse than guys.

I'm not conventionally attractive so I'm not having my phone blown up 24/7 or anything, but every now and then there are girls that try and ego me or get my attention just so they can start shit. Even when I ignore them they still harass me to some extent but its very rare given how many women I deal with on a daily basis.

Favourite things:
- the protective side each man has that is showing only for those he cares about.
- biceps. They are the most attractive thing in a guy. An arm you can hold on to, or sometimes just hide inside them when you want to disappear from the world... In any case, having his arms around you makes you feel a little safer, doesn't it?
- oh and yes, I love being Little Spoon
- when he puts his hand on your back as if to say "I'm here for you"
- the soft and gentle side each guy has hidden somewhere deep inside him, the one he only shows to his girl... Like when he wipes away her tears, or puts a strand of her hair behind her ear... ♡
- how even the toughest guy will melt when holding their baby in their arms for the first time
- how guys become children all over again when they play with a child and not even realise it (or maybe don't care about it)
- how they are eager to take up things for you because they perceive us women as vulnerable, like carrying that heavy box for you (although you could do it yourself, but why say no to him?) - and the way their back appears so strong when they bend to pick that said box up... 😍
- last but not least, how a man who's in love puts the sexual pleasure of his partner before his own

Now the not so nice part... What I like least
{disclaimer: I'm not meaning to insult anyone, this is based on my personal experiences)

- how men are not willing to talk about things that are bothering them or their feelings in general
- when they assume that you can't do things because you're a woman, e. g. Women can't drive
- when they take for granted some things that women do for them and don't appreciate them (as seen in teens for example)
- when they are comparing you to their mother. 🙄
- that they need to appear "tough" and are unwilling to show their vulnerable side, even to those they are close to
- when they criticise things you do, although they have no idea how to do them themselves.

PrudentGuy · Answer

Companionship. I think girls makes better companion than guys. (Maybe I'm 100% straight. 😁😁😁) Mood swing. I hate the PMS before her period.

Jjpayne · Answer

My favorite things, attractiveness, supportiveness, and affection. My least favorite, is selective screening before talking to or meeting and overreacting in terms of situations like gossip/assumptions.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Favorite - Girl loves to cuddle , exchange kisses,  hugs , be affectionate  Least favorite - Girl whose sarcastic , likes to be attention seeker , fakes pregnancy

SomeGuyCalledTom · Answer

When they do cute stuff (hugs from behind, blushing when shy, play-fighting, etc)

Their nurturing side; girls who build up their fella when he's hurting (not all do this, some view him as weak and leave, screw em lol)

When she's creative, expresses herself, true to her feelings, sees beauty in little things, dances in the rain etc

When they're kind and sweet and have a warmth to them, smiling, see the best in people (sadly these girls can get hurt by people who take advantage of their sweet nature)

Plitty-Tank · Answer

Best: They share a procreative bond with men. Things that can not happen in a homosexual relationship. Worst: They don't always evaluate things at a logical level but tend to depend more on emotions.

Slim57 · Answer

Favorite is someone to listen to me and care for me and add ideas that I would never think of to my daily life, someone to just be with romantically and in a friendship kind of way at the same time, my least favorite is the lies so many women say, I see so many times they claim they want something and go for the opposite. The victim mentality to get what they want, and they just seem to go for men that are just the worst of the worst kind of people imaginable, and the emotional thinking over logical thinking
