yes. there are. but many of them have had bad experiences of women, and so have retired to a quiet life.

you'd have to be quite something to rouse their attentions -

moral is - TRY HARDER.


oh, and if you want to find guys - think... where do guys, good guys go - where do they gather, what do they do, how can you meet them?

tip 1) NOT the bop
tip 2) NOT dundee

good luck

[bramble]

Hmm i wish i'd posted it because i hadnt been trying!! Seriously im far too cool for the bop and Dundee (except when extremely wasted and dragged by friends) Any more suggestions? I'd like to think im not a minger but do guys get put off by tall girls?

I'm minging and attached, you're doing something wrong

I'm also about eleven feet tall, tall women are not scary to me at least.

[bramble]

OK so perhaps a better question is; what could a chick do that was really offensive to men? Altho im pretty sure i dont have ant majorly wierd habits!!

for me, tall counts as taller than me. (6'1)

taller than average for a girl is good.

and there are lots of nice guys in st andrews. its just that we don't get a lot of the attention.

as for really offensive..? not sure.

i would write more, but i need an early night.

Spend less time worrying about how not to go about things (i.e. what men seem to be offended by, and how one could change themselves to...), and you're half way there. Be yourself, and men will swoon.... eventually.

[quarterstaff]

there is also the height rule:


the guy must always be taller than the girl.


its just a societal thing, i think. bit of a bummer for the shorter blokes, and the tallers lassies.

[Haunted]

its more of a guideline than a rule.

I tend to look for girls that listen to me, you know that really listen to me, rather than just wait for their turn to speak. I would never want anyone to change themselves to try and impress me; I personally dont seek to be impressed. Common interests are always a plus but certainly not a requirement. Also, I dont think I would ever notice a girl if she was following someone else. Independants all the way.

As for offending a guy. I guess it gets to me when someone calls my interests/hobbies childish or anything else belittling. In fact belittling in general is probably bad. Alot of guys dont like to be immasculated in front of others either.

Probably your common sense can help you more than anything else

[big_phil]

Height's not a problem if YOU don't mind a shorter man. As for the nice guys, we are here just fed up girls picking the bad boys first!

[Steveo]

I am 6'6" (and a wee bit more), so for me height is not a problem, you can be anything but taller, because that would be freakish.

Attributes:
Be awesome
Be you
Like me for being me

I have to agree with the original poster. Every guy seems already to have a girlfriend. And i'm not sure if guys are afraid of tall girls (i am short) but they definitely seem to be afraid of girls with brains. Some of my guy friends admit that they prefer a stupid girlfriend who will only look up to them in awe. I tell guys what I study (physics) and immediately they try to find a reason not to talk to me any more. I can actually see the fear appear in their face. Should I just lie and pretend I am a silly little girl just waiting for a big, strong, intelligent man to rescue me?

[shy]

I know loads of nice guys...but they're friends. The guys that approach me romantically are either too old or too drunk for my liking. Sigh. I guess you just can't win...

[Senethro]

Seconding the stupidity as a massive turnoff. The very first time you encounter stupidity in a girl its not so bad, the relationship is easy to maintain with less effort etc. After a while though the lack of opinions and independant thought really begin to get to you and you have to end it. AFter that I avoid stupidity.


Shy: I'm going to bet that at least one of those nice guys you know feels like hes been put in the FriendZone and now he is not permitted to make romantic approaches.

Being friendzoned is the curse of the nice guy. It means they get overlooked. Just because they're nice doesn't mean they're not interested in more.

[Haunted]

I cant fathom the fascination for stupidity. Conversation must be pretty bland. Yeah you do need someone with a brain

[Prophet Tenebrae]

If a guy actively looks for a stupid girl, isn't that basically an admission that he fears a partner who might be his equal?

[bramble]

totally lol!

Oh and i really hope the height thing isnt true!! Im 6ft and it appears that there are no single guys taller than that in St. Andrwews. The height thing isnt an issue for me, if i like someone i like them regardless of height but it seems guys are more conscious of height differences?

I'm a male physics student who occassionally gets similar reactions from women. Must come with the territory If your male friends really said that then they truly are idiots...

Where are the men, anyway? I hardly see any. Everyone I know is a girl. Girls, girls, girls. Like one big endless slumber party. Too bad I'm not a lesbian.
