ok so i heard a little abou this on Sunrise this morning ( basically a morning show) Now thing is i don't like to categorise people it just general sort of outline but i thought it would be interesting to find an article about his and include it. I have heard many men on here complain that women only go for the bad boy archetype . But this shows that not necesarily true thereare a number of diffeent types of men they go for. I mean this is just 7 tyopes but iof you were to ask individuals they would like a combination of a number of different things .

[gaz]

I'm the considerate guy

[gaia]

I'll take 4, 6 or 7.

[airburst]

Meh.

[Naptaq]

"You probably think that nice, considerate guys never get the woman, but consider this: Once a woman has gone through her share of the bad guy, the rude guy and the not-calling-her-back guy, she will likely reevaluate her priorities. It takes a bit of maturity on her part to realize this, but eventually most girls come around and realize that they want a guy who will treat them well in the long run."

This reminds me of a character in the movie Where the Heart Is.

Sorry if I spoiled the movie ;D

There is some truth to this article, but they're missing at least one archetype - The Rich Guy.

[arizona]

Funny, I thought all these considerate, thoughtful, caring guys were the ones who strike out all the time! ;D

[1one1]

LOL That's because they don't believe in themselves. I am still learning to do that. What mind tricks we play on ourselves. I can't point the finger at anyone but me.

I avoid tabloid stuff like this like the plague, but what the hey, I'll have some fun with it.

7 Types of Guys Women Can't Resist
Thursday, July 09, 2009
By Andrea Madison

Have you ever wondered why some guys have all the luck when it comes to women? It's no secret that certain archetypal males have been proven over and over to be irresistible to women — and it's not simply because of their good looks or a well-defined six pack.

The truth is that women tend to be attracted to certain personality traits and so, naturally, they flock to the men who possess them.

Below are seven of these "ideal types" of guys that women are drawn to, and an explanation as to why these guys are so appealing. But don't freak out or permanently alter your personality if you don't fit into any of these categories exactly — women will see right through that.

Ideally, you should exude some traits from each of these different categories; in fact, you probably already do. With a quick perusal of the list below, you should be in much better shape to understand what women are looking for, and most importantly, to make sure that you fit the bill.

1. The Romantic Guy

He believes in classic romance. He is constantly bringing her flowers and chocolate and lighting candles during dinner. He calls her often to let her know he is thinking about her and looks into her eyes and tells her how he feels.

Why he is so irresistible: A woman loves to feel appreciated, and the romantic guy makes this happen. He uses romantic gestures to show her he is thinking about her. As an added bonus, she feels free to reciprocate and act on her own romantic tendencies.

Translation: It’s good to have a guy around who never makes any actual sexual advancements, but keeps inflating our already bloated egos anyway. He can be useful as an errand boy or a high-absorbency emotional tampon.

2. The Confident Guy

He is totally secure and sure of himself. He is assertive in public and gives off an aura of power and control (within reason of course, as the "cocky guy" is not on this list). In a relationship, he doesn't get jealous of other men; he doesn't feel threatened by his girlfriend's male friends or coworkers.

Why he is so irresistible: Women are attracted to confident men. Consider this: If you think you are great, she will probably be influenced to think the same. The confident man doesn't seek approval from women, and this makes them want him even more.

Translation: The confident guy never knows what hit him when he finds out that his girlfriend cheated on him with a male friend or coworker. He was oblivious because he never bothered to check what “his” girl was actually doing during those long office hours or girls’ nights out. The confident guy is very appealing because there is no particular need to sneak around. Why should a gal be inconvenienced when she wants some action on the side? Besides, the confident guy doesn’t keep nagging her for some boring relationship sex. He’s secure in the fact that he’s already had it all.

3. The Artistic Guy

The artistic guy is spontaneous and lives for the moment. Often, he will use his creativity to woo her, such as with a song he has written about her or a painting he has made for her.

Why he is so irresistible: Every woman wants to feel unique and special. There is no better way to make her feel this way than to use her as your muse or your source of inspiration. She is intrigued by the artistic guy's creative mind and especially by the way he incorporates her into his art.

Translation: The artistic guy is the ultimate vanity pump. You want to have a top-40 pop song dedicated to you because you happened to smile in his direction? Well, this is the guy for you. Like a high-risk/high-yield bond, the artistic guy will elevate you to a reflected-glory status you’ve never dreamed about. The downside is that he’ll dump you like a used napkin 15 minutes later. It’s ok though. If you’re smart, you can sell that s’’t to the tabloids for years to come. And imagine the bragging rights… it’s a trump card that will shut the trap of any skanky, over-the-hill barfly.

4. The Foreign Guy

He comes from a faraway exotic country; he might have a cute accent or a unique way of seeing the world. His social customs and everyday behavior can be a little quirky, but he always manages to come off as uniquely charming. Note that you don't have to actually be foreign to fit into this category. If you are well-traveled or speak many languages, you might be able to pull off the charm as well as any sweet-talking foreigner.

Why he is so irresistible: Charisma, charisma and charisma. There's not much more I can say about this one; it's just that mysterious je ne sais quoi that is so alluring. Women often choose this kind of guy if they are curious about the world, but most of the appeal comes down to a fascination with dating someone from another culture.

Translation: I can’t wait to get to my cute little hands on his oil-drilling fuelled money well. His mafia connections will protect me from all harm and the corrupt media in his country will make sure to airbrush any photos/video making me look fat. Jackpot!

5. The Free Spirit Guy (aka the Bad Boy)

The free spirit guy goes where the wind takes him — and the wind usually takes him on some kind of wacky adventure. He might ride a motorcycle, or he might skip work to take her on a last-minute road trip, but this guy doesn't worry too much about the consequences; he just sees where his own devices take him.

Why he is so irresistible: Every woman wants a bit of a rebel (within reason, of course). She loves his carefree attitude and hopes that it will rub off on her too. The bad boy spirit adds an element of youthfulness to the relationship and she loves to try taming him — although she knows she'll never actually succeed.

Translation: Meh… this is not really a bad boy - a complete misuse of the term. A bad boy would slap the girl on the face for the slightest insubordination. This is kind of a spaced-out guy who’s lost any sense of purpose if he had any to begin with. He may seem appealing to many women because a sense of purpose is lost on them as well, so they assume they’ve found a kindred spirit.

6. The Intelligent/Witty Guy

He instigates conversations that are intellectually stimulating and listens to what she has to say in response. He makes her laugh with his clever sense of humor and has an uncanny ability to make politics interesting. He can shoot the breeze with her for hours and it will never get boring.

Why he is so irresistible: As time goes on, your hairline may recede and your buff body may soften, but if you can keep her interested, you've won half the battle. An intellectual connection is a big part of what sustains a relationship and if you can show her that you've got that, she'll be hooked pretty quickly.

Translation: Doormat. The only men that women find witty or intellectual are those who agree with them on every subject. His responses range from “Yes, dear” to “Of course you’re right honey”. He occasionally kisses her hand to reinforce his point. He once had an original thought, but the audaciousness of the feat overwhelmed him and it escaped from his short term memory.

7. The Considerate Guy

He holds open her car door and pulls out her chair. He foots the bill for dinner and makes sure to offer her dessert. He always asks her out with reasonable notice and picks her up at her door. He is generally sensitive to how she is feeling and when she is ready to go home.

Why he is so irresistible: Surprised? You probably think that nice, considerate guys never get the woman, but consider this: Once a woman has gone through her share of the bad guy, the rude guy and the not-calling-her-back guy, she will likely reevaluate her priorities. It takes a bit of maturity on her part to realize this, but eventually most girls come around and realize that they want a guy who will treat them well in the long run.

Translation: It’s true! There are literally millions of 70 year-old females in the world who have gone through a variety of the aforementioned 6 (that’s six for you humanists) male prototypes. Hang in there good guy, you will get your comeuppance yet. The only problem is that you can forget about having your own offspring so you will have to settle for adopting an unspecified number of Cambodian expatriates. The sex will not be all that great (if it ever occurs), but hey, it’s better than what you’ve managed so far, chump!

A Word of Caution

Don't take any of these character types to the extreme or try to be someone you're not — it will be way too obvious.

The key to success here is to keep in mind why women like the character traits outlined above and what kind of gestures they appreciate. Then, mix them up and see which of these traits and gestures you are most comfortable with. With just a little bit of effort, you'll be able to find more than a few irresistible qualities within yourself — and accordingly, she'll be easily wooed by your newfound individuality.

Translation: Abandon all hope.

Me too.
Talk about a chip on the shoulder..

[1one1]

There are over 6 billion people on this planet. Bottom line is, be yourself. If you're attracted to someone, then show more interest. Let go of this good guy/bad guy crap, and who ever around you that says, "nice guys finnish last" are just being plain ignorant and don't have a clue of what they are talking about, obviously. There will always be someone out there that will find you handsome. Just start believing in youself and stop pushing them away. Start looking at what YOUR doing.

wow
i was trying to get certain people her who think women only go for one type (aka the bad boy) to at least take on board another 6 types even though there are millions upon million of diferences tat women go for and seems like some minds can't even bend that little bit .

[mindful]

I think being a combination of confident, intelligent and considerate would make you not only more attractive, but just a better person in general.

Not all women treat men that way. This just makes me sad reading it.

[gals]

I'm the type of gal who loves the artistic, romantic and considerate guy. I'm not the type who'll fall for bad boys, I want to be treated nicely.
