(But if she wants to show me someplace cool or she wants to eat out somewhere, I'm perfectly fine with that.)

Every girl's different, but I think we can all agree that we go on physical attractiveness as much as personality, though what's attractive to one isn't often what's attractive to another. On the matter of accomplishments, I think it's grand if a guy has some accomplishment in the workplace; the more accomplished he is, the more likely I am to get serious about the person in question, 'cause I'd never worry about being supported. However, if you're asking whether basketball players or something seem more attractive because they're more "accomplished," then no, girls generally don't care.

And, I like nice guys, but I don't like guys which are too nice. I, personally, have dated a nice stay-at-home gamer before, and that didn't turn out as a complete wreck while I was dating him, so I don't judge. But you'll get some girls who mind.



For the guys, and just out of curiosity: Do most guys that you know tend to fall for successful women, or down-to-earth ones? Why?
