What do guys notice in a girl?

Obviously I notice physical features first, because I see them before I talk to them, unless it's somekind of odd arrangement like I know them through friends and talk to them on the phone or through e-mail, first.

I think a lot of it has to do with the way a woman carries herself, too. Personality is part of that. Shitty personality is obviously a deal breaker. Being shy is fine, but sometimes being really nice makes it hard for me to perceive their feelings, which is sort of a turn off. Then again, being intelligent and open is really important to me, it's something I strive to foster within myself.

I can't really say one way or another on make-up, some girls make the make-up work really well for them. I don't think anyone should hold it against a woman (or a man for that matter) trying to compliment their appearance. If it's a dating situation, it shows that they care enough to present themselves. Another obvious point: wearing a lot of make-up in most cases is a huge turn-off.

I can point to one recent case with someone I know from work, she has a badass personality, but a lot of the guys at work don't find her attractive, for whatever reason (I personally thought that she had a cute face and great hair, but...). She came to the Christmas party we had for the command, and she was absolutely stunning. She had a just a little bit of mascara and some eye-shadow/liner, but she cleaned up better than anything I could describe in words, it made me weak in the knees when she came up and greeted me.
I guess it's because she and I got a long so well at work, and like I said, she's a little badass, so there was already the personality click.

Hair is another big thing with me, I tend to like women with rich color, whether it's blonde, black, brown, red like hair that makes you want to run your fingers through it, before you kiss her. I'm also kind of not picky about whether it's long or short. I do find the hair the conceals one side of the face very attractive and playful.

As far as body, I'm not terribly picky, although I do like a good pair of mammories, but that's not always the case. Big boobs can look ridiculous, too. Curves to compliment the frame, I guess. I don't like fat frames, pudge is nice actually, but the "Yeah, I just ate six cheeseburgers... for breakfast" look doesn't do it for me. Partly because I used to be heavy, and I lead a more active outgoing lifestyle, now, so I'd want someone who'd like to that kind of thing. Plus, she's gotta look nice in fishnets and leather, because Rocky Horror isn't the same without them.

Yeah, I am kinda picky, more picky than I probably let on. Then again, I know women are, too. I know I get judged by my looks, a lot (because I'm not the most attractive guy around, no matter how much I work-out or dress to impress, there's no cure for a jacked-up face). So, I try to make up for it by being fun to be around (and sensually satisfying).

How ya doing, buddy?
