Honestly? 16-17 year old boys? (i say boys deliberatly) they are looking for a pulse and a purse dear.  If you have either of those your in the running.  Now slightly older guys (or the guys your talking about in a just a few years) will start looking for sombody who is nice and sweet.  Now this isn't cause to be horrible to them now, but a guy will like you for who you are, don't try and be somthing that your not for them. Because they are too young to know what they want in the long term, and you probably are too.  Now that isn't a put down in anyway, its just the truth, don't be in too much of a hurry to get into an adult relationship there will be plenty of time for that.  Somewhere out there, there are a bunch of guys who will adore and worship you for who you are... Don't settle for less please... Good luck sweetie, and I hope this helps.

I can't speak for "men" but I can speak for myself.\n\nBeing a man, I am attracted to beauty.  If I see beauty walking down the street or in the store I will admire it...as beauty...like looking at a sunset, a work of art, etc...beauty for beauty's sake is well, beautiful.\n\nBUT... if I am looking at having a serious relationship with a woman, beauty isn't in my top 3 three things to look for, it's probably in the top 10, but not top 3.  The top 3 things I look for...\n\n1) Intelligence. \n2) A sense of wonderment with life.\n3) Common sense.\n\nBeing that I'm almost 40, been married twice and in my younger years "dated" frequently, I have realized that outward beauty, while nice, pales in comparison to the beauty that comes from a quick wit, a passion for life and the common sense to make decisions about things.

women have different preferences, the next best thing is to eye for someone you like and get to know her if you're interested..as for the general traits...well, i find the personality very appealing if he's able to handle a sincere conversation, with a good sense of humor, confident, firm in his ideals, never pressure you into anything and respects me as a woman, in terms of my opinion and what i like...sexiness, when he's able to flirt with you in a subtle but meaningful manner...

Hips.  Oh, man, hips.  I want a girl that looks like a girl, not a 12-year-old boy.\nA smile.  A smile that is never very far away.\nA little bit of a tomboy.  They know what guys like.\nIntellect.  Converse nimbly.  Don't let me get away with comments that we'll both be ashamed of.\nOh, yeah... be very interested and proficient at sex.  VERY!\nInitiate foreplay every once in a while.

I look for how a guy acts. His personality. I mean looks are a definite plus, but thats not what matters all the time... good luck...

my age-16.\nI go for intelligence, politeness and a sense of humour. I never go for looks.

Well when I look for a man, I look for someone I can be "me" around. Someone who is attractive in his only way. Someone nice, a little cocky. Nice truck or car is a bonus, but he has to be able to make me laugh.

It's hard to explain in my personal preference.  You could have a supermodel and an "average" woman, and I may choose the latter.  Looks aren't everything, but they are somewhat involved, I'm not going to lie.  Other than that, I look for a fun personality, capability to have a good conversation (serious or otherwise), attitude, and a sense of humility.  But some other guys are just in it for the looks...sad, as it may be less fulfilling.

That's a loaded questions but I think I can help.\n\nIt really depends on where the guy is in life.  For example, in general, college guys are looking for a temporary thing, especially the first 2-3 years, so they look for a girl who's easy going.  At this point it doesn't really matter where she's headed in life. Needless to say looks are extremely important at this age.\n\nWhen guys start maturing, last year of college or so, they start looking for women that are headed somewhere.  It could very well be the same women they have interacted with in college, but now the looks aren't as important as where she is headed.  A guy tries to figure out if a woman has the potential to be a good mother for example; this is not the case when he's younger...\n\nOf course this is just in general, there are exceptions.  And the most intriguing thing is that guys usually do this subconsciously.  A lot of times they don't even realize that their selection criteria has changed.\n\nHope this helps.

Looking for confidence, self-assurance, self worth...those are all things I look for in a woman.\n\nShe does not have to be the prettiest woman in the room, having equal intelligence, looks, and self-confidence are important issues too.

fsuhen, all women are attractive to men ages 45-55. Weight, intelligence, sense of humor... all of these don't matter. What matters is what's in the woman's heart.

My last long term relationship was with a woman 10 years older than me. The reason? I wastired of dating girls and I wanted to date a WOMAN! I was looking for someone emotionally mature/secure that knew what she wanted and wasn't into playing games. It's very alluring when you can find that eclectic mixture of someone that's fun and responsible, has enough experience in life to realise that every good relationship is give and take.  I wasn't looking to add notches to my gun belt or pages in a journal, I was very much looking for love and quite honestly it was the closest ever I'd come in so far as matching my hopes to my expectations. I can't speak for the masses out there but, there are a few of us guys that are sentimental enough to hold out hope for love, I hear rumors that it still exists (wink)....

Sweet, thoughtful, attentive, faithful, sensitive, respectful, down-to-earth, humble and polite.  Preferably about 10-13 years older than me (hey, guys mature slower than women and I don't want to be taking care of boys in their mid-30's).\n\nAny physical attributes comes second.

I am a girl of 22 years old and have had a lot of experience with guys. I am not shy and will ask a guy face to face what he looks for in a gal... from what i have been told guys look for "normal" girls. most hate it when a girl cakes her face in makeup and trys too hard to look "nice" what guys want is for a girl to have personallity rather than looks. thats the honest truth. They dont want a really ugly girl when theyre young coz they dont wana lose in front of their mate.... so be yourself and be confident and whatever you don DONT change the way you look or act to impress anybody be proud of you and be confident with yourself and youll have the guys flooding at you...promise. xx

It's true with MOST women,  not all women.   MOST women don't care if a guy is bald or some overweight.  Alot depends on the age of the woman.  MOST YOUNG ladies want a guy who's handsome,  has hair,  has teeth,  and is not much overweight and has a decent job.  OLDER ladies  aren't that particular.  But IF a guy is lacking in some of these things, he had better have a GOOD job or be wealthy !  Look for a lady who has a good personality, hair, teeth of some sort, smells clean, and DOESN'T  have real long fingernails. (I believe that those women are lazy.)  Then, (and this is important) DO NOT GO TO BED WITH HER UNTIL YOU HAVE HAD AT LEAST 4  or  5  DATES !!!!   Get to know her, first.  The best marriages begin with being friends, first.

Most guys go for a lady who is beautiful inside.\ni have seen many ladies who are so pretty and good looking but who were loose, put aside for a less attractive girl who has a lovely character and a great attitude.\nand besides there really isnt anyone who doesnt have a pretty face.\njust do urself up well, treat urself better, smile more and above all, have a great self image. u'd be amazed how well people wld be attracted to u...\ncheers!

Everyone has their own look and personality.  If everybody was the same this would be a boring world.  From your description you seam like a nice person.  Don't rush into anything (your only 16).  Be yourself and love will come to you.  I was 21 before I got married.  We have been married for 20 year, we have 5 children and 3 grandchildren.
