What Women Want: Game Player, or Honest Boy?

|More

Just like we are always wondering what guys are thinking (which usually consists of sex, sports, beer and sex), guys want to know what’s on our minds. What do we want? What do we like? What the hell do we mean when we curtly say “it’s fine” after they get all pissy when we hang out with our guy friends?

Contrary to popular belief, they care what we think. Not only because they want to please us, but because they want to woo us, lure us…and get us into their beds.So, we at CollegeCandy decided it was time to let guys know exactly what we like/hate/and dream about at night. So, vote, comment and pass this on to those boys in your life. And remember: unlike sex with most college men, this is all for you in the end.

When it comes to dating, do you find yourself drawn to the boys who play the games (and play ‘em well), making you chase them all over town? Or are you more into the straight up, honest, nice boys who call when they say they’re gonna call?

after doing the whole unreliable thing for so long in college its nice to finally be with someone who calls at 6 when he says he’s going to call at 6.

Who actually WANTS a player?? Sure, I don’t necessarily want your typical nice boy, but I do need someone to be straight up with me.

I cannot stand players!! Arrgh.. makes me angry just thinking about it. >:O

In my head I say I like the honest guys, but I find myself going time and time again after the “players.” I just can’t help it.. the other ones are so boring. Maybe in time I’ll grow up.

Whenever you run these polls about guys they’re really one sided and pointless. Who wants a player? Personality/Style (like your preppy/sporty poll or sensitive/strong) will always be about even because different girls have different tastes. If guys need these polls to figure out girls, they probably shouldn’t be dating. Girls like guys who are comfortable in their own skin. That’s it.

Honestly? I like a little bit of player in a boy. The whole “wait three days” thing seems juvenile but if they call right away it honestly makes them seem clingy and desperate for attention and who likes that in a guy?

I mean I’m all for being honest but the truth of the matter is if a guy wants to get the girl he is gonna have to play a little hard to get. Playing the game helps guys that normally wouldn’t get attention from girls get their attention…if that makes any sense

Cali, I disagree. In the world outside of college and sex and the city playing games does no good. If you meet someone and you hit it off with them, (they like you, you like them) then there is no reason not to call right away. If two people genuinely like each other and get along then playing games can only ruin a good thing. I have never played games, and honestly can’t stand guys who do. It’s stupid and petty and a relationship built on manipulation and closed communication is not worth the wasted time spent on it.

I think you’re spammer and a guy play me playa.

Anywho, I don’t need drama or an ego maniac or a CHILD so I’d much prefer the straight up and genuine nice boy.

Casey is hella right and I’m in college and know better.

Cali keep dating like a kid, k?

ladies, what about a nice, genuine boy who is really the man of your dreams at heart, but knows exactly how to play the game and play it well? are there any women out there who love a genuine guy, but don’t mind that he’s well experienced and can make you go crazy (in more ways than one)?

I am a man, and will not pretend like I know what women like/want. However I assume you females want a nice, sweet, generous guy who thinks about you, cares about your opinions, and is looking for more than just sex in a relationship (but being a guy, yes, sex is almost mandatory). I am very intelligent, caring, compassionate, and extremely helpful. I’ll take the shirt off of my back to help out someone in need (especially ladies), however I must say that trying to be true to myself and as ideal of a guy which I can possibly be without lying about who I am, has only gotten me laid by 2 girls. I’m 22. And the first one (first girlfriend) borrowed money from me and cheated on me. The second one suffered from a drug overdose and told the police that I was involved, and now I may be going to prison if everything doesn’t go perfectly for me. And that really sucks, I try so hard to find someone, and I just get screwed over. I’m very comfortable with who I am, I’m a caring guy, I’m more than smart enough, I have many talents (won’t say I’m hot, but I’m told I’m not ugly) and girls just tend to screw me over. I don’t get it, I must just have been involved with the bad ones. But from my personal experience (not great at detecting when a girl is interested in me…) women honestly don’t give a damn if you are the honest guy. They tend to go for A-holes.
