Guys Want More Than Sex

It makes you wonder, is sex the only thing guys care about?
Not for the 10 guys we talked to. When it comes to girls, they talk about personality, a sense of humor, and a girl who understands them. Looks count, they add. But there's more to romance than a great bod.

Looks, they add, only go so far. "Finding out a really beautiful girl is an airhead is a total let down," says Aaron Zitch, 18.
A sense of humor is the number one thing they look for in a girl.
"I would never want to date a girl who didn't have a sense of humor. I would have to worry if my jokes were offending her all the time," said Joe Chenie, 16.
Of course, different guys are into different things. Some guys like girls who are into sports, others want girls who know their way around the library. But most of the guys we interviewed look for a girl with a great personality and a sense of humor.
Ryan Smith, 19, has had a steady girlfriend for over a year. His favorite thing about her is the way she makes him feel. She is sensitive and always willing to listen when something is bothering him. They base their relationship on trust, not sex.
"I look for someone I can connect with, not someone I can have sex with," he says. Good news, hey girls?

honestly i would have never thought that guys didnt always
think about sex.. i have plenty of guy friends and they all
just look at me in a sexual way which does bother me at
times and then they send a bad message to girls that all
guys want is ex but now i know that not all guys want that
and i thank you for letting me know :)
talk and play

me and my boyfriend were amazing friends before i even asked
him out. even then he didn't want our relationship to be
physical(BIG age diff). We talk about everything, but i love
the convos that we have just after sex.[i did convince him
to get physical(; ] He just wants me to feel like im loved
and that i can talk with him about absolutely anything, and
sex is just a plus that i get.
wat i think

i think the reason why every one things guys a sexaholics is
b/c te guys that dont care about sex dont really say n/e
thing..i think its so hard to find a guy that wants
PERSONALITY i live all the guys thats Loud n want sex get
the gurls n the guys that are relaxed are quiet....my
problem is the type of guy i want ie above are all older
than me and not by a little *tear*
i was so excited!

me, but i always said yes, and it was soooooo enjoyable, we

Just wanting sex?

That's funny, my girlfriend wants to go further more than I
do.. I am a virgin, and so is she but I don't really care
about sex, just seeing her makes my day amazing, holding her
and cuddling with her is AMAZING for me, let alone her doing
certain things to me... I hate the stereotype that guys just
want sex, it's terrible, it makes guys like me look like
crap, I'm not perverted in the least but because I am a guy,
I am thought of as that...
Not all guy's want sex

Believe it or not one day me and my boyfriend had a great
fight because he thought he was just a sextoy for me. In the
other hand I was thinking the same thing for him that I was
just a sexdoll for him. Wow big trouble when two people
don't talk!!!
look at it this way...

you know these guys are nice, down to earth, smart
guys....we as young women say that they are hard to find but
frankly we don't look anymore than they do. we see what we
think would be the "ultimate boyfriend" and we get our
dreams crushed, alot of the guys that we date aren't
horrible guys, it's just that no matter how much we say that
"we don't belive in fariy tales" there's that one part of us
who still wants to be cinderella.-I hate the fact that i
can't finish!
