What do guys notice in a girl?

I'm not sure if this in the right place, so sorry if it's not.

I want to do a poll (I can't really make one though for this) about what guys notice in girls. I'm not generalizing to just the preppy girls from high school, but the girls who take all the time with putting on make up, the girls who go to tanning salons, who get their nails done every other week, who takes the time to pick out the perfect fasionable outfit. Guys- do these things (make up, tan, hair style, nails, outfit, etc) make you notice a girl? When see a girl who's your friend, your girlfriend, or any random girl, are these things that make you take a second look or catch your attention?

If not, what does?

If you don't mind, give me your age or if you're in high school or college or not in school at all.

Girls- Do you do these things? Are there other things you do? If so, why? Is it to get the guy? Is it for you because it makes you look beautiful?

I'm a casual dresser. A T-shirt and jeans does it for me. I'm not a make up person at all. I hate it. I believe it makes my skin worse. So I take extra care of it so it doesn't look bad. I use to have mild acne and so my face isn't pure but it's not cratered and scarred. My hair is naturally really think and wavy. I straighten it but I do it for my benefit. If it's not straightened, I have to pull it back. I can't leave my hair down when it's not straightened. So I straighten so I can leave it down. This isn't for beauty, it's because I don't like having it up constantly, especially in the winter. I couldn't care less about my nail color. I was interesting in tanning but the risk of skin cancer was a turn off.

I find myself the average girl- dress casual, blonde, blue eyes, hair pulled back or down (straightened), no make up.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ageed. I don't like that guys judge a girl from the outside. A friend asked me one day how many guys do I believe have passed by me, judging me by my looks, being turned off because I'm not a make up wearing, preppy dressing, skin cancer begging, popular girl when we could've had so much in common but he will never know because he judged me on the outside. And I told her I didn't know... because they judged me.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hypocrite.

Also most of the guys I know prefer less makeup and not high maintenance. Did you ever think that maybe your whole "i'm a victim woe is me crap" is a turn off?

I guess I should've added I've been in a relationship for almost 2 years. I'm just honestly curious if all the things girls do is a waste of time or not.

I don't judge boys on looks because a lot of the greatest boys are the average looking ones. I ran into an old middle school friend and I didn't tell him but he looked better in middle school but we are friends. I don't like to judge people on looks =/ I've faced reality- I'm not going to marry an Orlando Bloom. I'll befriend anyone as long as they're respectful and not a complete ass.

Great -_- This is going to be in the sewers because of you!

Well I'm in a class that studies relationships. I'm happy with the guy I'm with and I'm not looking for anyone else. Just the topic of why guys judge a girl based on looks comes up everyday in class and that guys are shallow. That's when my friend asked me how many guys judged me by my looks and didn't get to know me when we could've been a great couple. Also, the preps or other girls who spend so much money on nails, hair, tanning, new clothes all the time... is it all a waste because don't care? Or they do it for themselves to make them look beautiful... so they are insecure about their looks.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Why the fuck don't people read the original post before responding?

I hope your girlfriends aren't as picky about reading comprehension as you apparently are about looks and personality.

I've noticed the ones getting cocky are the ones who seem to not be reading the first post =/

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The replies are interesting but I have another question- Do you guys believe the things girls do- make up, tanning, nails, buying new clothes, etc- is a waste of time and/or money?

FELIPE NO

That's what I mean. The girls who buy clothes every so many weeks to get the new in boots, trendy top, etc.

Fair or not, people judge one another by looks and success. While looks can be deceiving, it's the only thing we have to go on. A woman with a firm body often *suggests* one with self control/respect. A woman in fine clothing suggests success and/or intellect.

1- If looks can be deceiving, then why don't some people get to those who aren't 'hot' or 'sexy'? What's wrong with the average looking one? It's one argument that came up in our class. If you know that you can't always base someone's personality off their looks, then why do you do it? It is human nature but why not just TRY to get to know the girl that's not as pretty?

2- How does a woman in fine clothing suggest intellect? I disagree. I wear the most casual comfortable clothes I can yet I graduated with over a 4.0 GPA and so far my grades in my classes (I'm at the University now) are straight A's. It may show success... she has money and can afford or she could be going in debt with her credit card(s) while shopping.

I agree. People dress to express themselves. I dress casually, expressing I'm layed back, pretty much worry-free, relaxed, wanting to have fun... but when I see a girl who's dressed in those fasion outfits (that cost a lot of money) it's like "i'm high maintence". I don't know. Those girls dressed like that, at least when I was in high school, had the most "It's all about me" personalities. Then they got the boys and it's like "How? They are too into themselves" It's strange to me. And if it's because they aren't like that around their boyfriends, why the mask?

One day in high school this guy was like "There is no way you are the same person at home that you are in school" but I am. I'm the same person online that I am offline. I don't like wearing masks.
