Thanks to everyone who participated in the first round of “Ladies, what do you think of these guys?” petelin expressed hope that we’d have more of this exercise, and I aims to please.
I know that I learned a lot as well. The results were quite enlightening to some of the people on this end (not all of whose photos appeared, mind you – though they might in future rounds).
So ladies, please offer your opinions regarding these gents. Also, if possible, please rank them according to your preferences.
#5: Hey look, it’s Sleazy Defense Lawyer guy again. This time he’s on the phone with his buddies setting up a paintball shindig, after which he’ll hang up and surf the net for porn.
He looks happy here, though. And I have no reason to think this, but this guy is a guy’s guy. He’s more into hanging with his buddies than trying to find a girl to settle down with. He’s one of those few guys that actually has lots of guy friends and does stuff with them a lot.
He’s a practical joker, I bet. He’s got this mischevious look to him. I don’t get the impression he’s the “jerk” kind of practical joker, instead he does really outlandish stuff like wrap his buddy’s kitchen completely in foil or decorate his front porch in Christmas lights in the middle of April. #6: Can we say “schoolteacher that all his female students are in love with?” Little do they know that this guy is the marrying kind and has a beautiful girlfriend that he’s totally devoted to. Can he be any cuter? This guy wants a wife and a couple of kids and a dog and a house with a white picket fence so bad he can’t wait to settle down. He’s the baby of the family; has older sisters. #7: Wow, Cute Future CEO is built! My impression of him before still stands, but I’m thinking he’s into some kind of sport (he definitely works out), and I’m picturing him on a motorcycle. The glasses, however, make me think he could hold his own in chess. His eyes suggest kindness. This guy’s not a dick; he’ll retaliate only when necessary. And he has a puppy. #8: All the girls love him but the poor guy just can’t land himself a steady girlfriend. He’s too busy being there to solve everyone else’s problems, and plus he’s “too nice.” He’s the guy that girls love to flirt with. Big flirt. Can cuddle/take a nap with a female friend and doesn’t try anything. Always up for acting nutty in Wal-Mart at 3am. Avoids hardcore partying. Stereotypical “Nice Boy.”
Hmm, rankings? None of these guys are my “type.”
They’re all cute in different ways so I really can’t say anyone is cuter than the others. I’d wanna hang out with #8 and play chess with #7. #6 is adorable but not a “cuddly” type, at least not paired with me he wouldn’t be.
#5 would probably end up pissing me off, but I’d probably be semi attracted. Hypothetically, anyway.
Same as last time… most of these guys I wouldn’t ever seriously consider, they’re just too much out of my age range (I’m 25 in a couple of weeks; most people guess me about 18-19 though). They also don’t look like they’d have much in common with me, just a vibe I guess…
except #6. He’s a bit too pretty to be my usual type, but not a definite no. He looks a little younger, a little geeky, I dig the sweater, and the computer in the background on the right intrigues me. Bonus points if guy in picture built it. I tend to be attracted to academic types, people interested in computers and technical things. People who like to learn just for their own enjoyment. He’d have to shave though because facial hair makes me oogey (also applies to other guys).
I would talk with him to find out more, how he responded and what his personality and interests are like would be the dealbreaker if I was actually interested or not.
Sorry I can’t rank them in order of preference for you; for me it’s either a yes or no thing.
On a quick glance snap judgement basis, I would be most attracted to Guy #6.
Guy #5 needs a haircut, Guy #7 is good looking but not my type, and I prefer my redheads a bit thicker than Guy #8.
Glad to see everyone at least smiling in these. Sorry I don’t have more to say, but I really don’t make too many judgements based solely on appearances.
#5, redo of Guy #3 of last time. He’s got a Ron Perlman-type grin in this one. (This is not a bad thing.) Could be nice, could be trouble. Could be sleazy. Could be an okay “guy’s guy.” I’m guessing he’s not the “deep, heartfelt conversations” kind of guy.
#6. Very pretty. Might be too aware of his beauty, if you know what I mean. Or not. Might be mind-numbingly “sensitive.” Or, could be a straightforward fellow. Can’t tell. A little too pretty for my tastes.
#7, our former cutie #2. Still cute. Looks intense. Needs to smile more. But definitely cute. I think I see a little twinkle in his eye. He definitely needs to lighten up, though.
#8. Nice-looking, happy guy. Could be one of those “puppydog” type enthusiastic hyper guys that you like, but you want to scream, “SHUT UP ALREADY!” But he’s probably an okay guy.
#5 Looks like he might be a character. #6 Needs to lose the goatee. #7 Would benefit from growing his hair and trying not to look like he’s about to beat someone up. #8 Cutie pie. I’m sure he grew the goatee to avoid looking underage but he could probably use a shave too.
Attraction depends on the personality of each person, though. Any of these dudes could have been caught in just the wrong moment to capture their authentic personality. Like #7 - I have a sneaking suspicion he gets that evil look in his eyes only around cameras, but is actually as nice as could be.
Which one/ones would I date? None or all, depending on what kind of conversation I could have with them. YMMV.
#6 is the gold tie guy from before. HAH , you can’t fool me. This time, he is in an enviroment that he is more comfortable in but he would rather be out doing something with friends. He is bullshitting with a friend on the phone, something about fishing or strip clubs. and he still needs a haircut. This is a nice side to see of him and he is enjoying his bachelor days without being a total and complete slob. He definately has the strip club -used carsalesmen look about him. Wastes alot of time online looking for boobies ( but then again, what guy isn’t?) Drinks either loads of coffee or coke or is a smoker .(teeth are not as bright as his age would allow.) He definatley has a strip club/porn thing eminating from him. #7 is or works for something in computers or possibly an engineer. The room he is in is relatively neat and sparse so either it is a start up or relatively newer job/place or he is anal retentive/engineerish.I’m getting Except there are not the required 9000 engineering books and doodads on the shelves, which are sparse, so the anal retentiveness is coming out. He looks like a hockey player. that was my first vibe. College level. Like Big 10. and he has sisters. Older sisters where he learned the importance about image and dressing nice. And some younger brothers whom he delights in beating the shitoutov and giving the business too. In touch with his manly side and completely comfortable around women without setting off gaydar. Either has no girlfriend because they all can talk to him and consider him a friend which has given him a case of permanent blueballs, or he has no problem getting dates if he wants them. Looks very solid and dependable. Active outside of work, possibly running. Doesn’t look like a gym rat, looks to non-conformist for that, but the sweater tells me he cares about his looks to the herd. Maybe tennis or baseball. Definately golf. Plays computer games once in a while. Oh, and he is hot. I like the goatee. #8: Is he the older picture of the last test of the HotAsianLookingGent? Not that I think all asians look the same and lord knows my experience (visual, professional and pedestrian) are pretty much limited to the few grocers/chinese restaurant owners (and martial arts flicks), but if it isn’t him, it is his older brother/dad. And he is a professor at college. Mathematics or Engineering. ( maybe its the ‘asians/chinese are smarter than white folk’ thought pattern). He has an intenseness about him that says he understands formulas but he is patient, but doesn’t have lots of time…he’s a busy person. He is in great shape rawr!, likes to run or possibly gym rat juding by the biceps. He doesn’t look like a bowflex owner. The picture was taken quickly, in a hallway in a school, as in, " Mr. Smith, Can I get your picture." He is first generation american or first in his family to graduate college and he is proud of it. He likes to read. Possibly from Ohio or has friends in ohio. Definately midwest and for some reason I am getting he was military or in the reserves vibe. Oh, and he is hot.
#9: Taken at a restaurant (generic wallpaper) by someone who either has a crush on him and wanted a memento of him or by someone who needed a picture of him and took it quickly without caring about the set up. The photographer was a girl. Clean cut & shaven. Probably has a desk job could be manual labor, but it would be only temporary. I’m not getting a strong vibe on exactly what he does for a living and probably he isn’t either. He’s about 22-23, maybe. Likes bud light. Approachable, likeable, probably a little wishywashy in his plans as he is still Figuring it all out.
This is fun. I am probably all way off and these guys are all chorus boys and concubines.
Definately email me to let me know how far off the mark I am when this is over.
Ah yes. Sexual Harrassment Panda… My previous thoughts still apply to this guy, but this time I can see him at a pub with friends. Shooting pool, playing darts and working his mojo with the chicks. Gaining the attention of pretty younger girls is easy for him because he’s the Smooth Operator. Knows exactly what to say and when to say it. He quick with a smile, tips the busty cocktail girls well, is the master of sexual innuendo. He’s full of mischief and will think nothing of taking a dare to go talk to the homely girl sitting in the corner. He’s attractive, but there’s no way in hell I’d pay him any attention. He makes my warning bells sound.
Nice guy. Loyal. Projects a quiet confidence, but internally he’s a worrier. If he isn’t already married, he’ll be a loving and attentive husband. As a friend, he’s the guy you’d call when your car breaks down, have to move to a town 3 hours away, or if your longtime girlfriend just dumped you. He feels good when he makes other people feel good, and beats himself up if he thinks he let someone down. His top priority is to be a good person rather than being ambitious in his field (but that doesn’t mean he isn’t successful). Workmates recognize him as a man with integrity.
I wish this guy would smile, dammit! In fact, I’d lay money down that he does smile often, but not for this experiment. I quite like the more relaxed look. He’s got delicately defined hands like a surgeon and is used to fiddling around with intricate pieces… Electronics? Model airplanes? Perhaps he plays an instrument of some variety. But he’s not afraid to get dirty. I get the feeling that if you need advice on your refrigerator’s inner workings, you’d ask him. He may not know right off the bat what the problem is, but he could figure it out. This guy is a guy’s guy. He loves his mom, but he’s no mama’s boy. I think he’s confident, and easy going. He’s durable in life, and rolls with the punches. Comfortable in formal situations, but not stuffy at all. He is thorough in his work, and if he decides to take up a hobby, he completes it. No half-assing here. He may get irritated when others don’t have the same philosophy, but he doesn’t let it bother him much because he knows everyone is different.
What I can’t figure out is expression. JThunder- I just know that this is the man who is conducting this experiment with you. You two thought of it together. This explains his expressions and hand posing. So tell him “Hi” for me! And of course (if I’m right on that) that means he likes to pick a person’s brain. He enjoys convoluted discussions starting with one brain-tickler and ending with something completely unrelated. I dig that, myself. When (if) he has kids, they’ll learn his method of thought.
This is Mr. Life O’ The Party. Loves to tell jokes, and sometimes finds himself the only one talking because everyone is listening to him. Now, they may groan and roll their eyes when he gets to the punchline, but he had 'em there for a few minutes. Not much gets this guy down in life, although he may not always see the silver lining. Whatever is unsatisfactory, he just lets roll off his back. I don’t know why I’m thinking this, but something is telling me he has an annoying laugh. Or maybe his voice isn’t too deep…
I’m getting an error that says "This site has exceeded its limit of 40 Megabytes of transfer per day. The account can be upgraded to a paid account to increase the transfer limit up to 15 Gigs of transfer per month in your goduck.net user tools section. " Anyone else getting that?
Oh, and some of your remarks are… interesting. Again, I want to avoid biasing the results too much, but I just had to say that I was surprised at how off-the-mark some of the comments were. A few of them were fairly accurate though, but not as surprisingly so.
Okay, folks. I reduced the image sizes and republished the page at this location. By tomorrow, these same images should also be available here. Thanks for participating!
Oh, and Shirley, I’ll be contacting you sometime this weekend.
Um, I should emphasize that I’ll be letting you know in which respects you’re accurate, and in which ways you missed the mark. I don’t want to imply that you hit a bulls-eye or anything like that.
Ok, my rankings (I’m kinda approaching this as tho’ these were online personal ad photos):
#6: Wow, that’s a cute picture. Might not be that cute in real life but he’d definitely be worth meeting if we got along via email.
#7: It’s the guy I thought was cute from the last round. Nice build. Same intense stare. I’d be interested in meeting him too, especially now that it’s obvious he works out.
#8: I’m personally not attracted to redheads (despite being one myself, maybe that’s why, it’s look too incestuous) but the guys pretty cute. He looks tiny tho’ and too young for me. A sparkling personality could win me over…
#5: The guy from pic #3 with the cheesy yellow power tie. Definitely looks better casual. I still don’t liek the goatee on him (I think it works better for the other guys). In this picture he looks less arrogant and like he might be interesting. His ranking is only lowest on this list 'cause the other guys are cuter this time…
Actually, I think #8 and #5 are in a tie and if it were online dating, I’d be more likely to go out with #5 because of the age thing.
