Last night, I was harassed by three of my friends to spill what my type of guy is. I didn’t enumerate anything to them.
Then I remembered the memes Ms. Aileen and Doc Tess have in their blogs bulleting down 50 certain characteristic of a guy and just answering whether I like it or not. So what the heck, meme time!
In case I’m out hunting for men (I’m not, just yet), here’s my take on what grinds my gears, and what powers my engine. (I make it sound like I’m a machine noh?)
- Suplado :: I think all of my ex-bfs were also partly the suplado type. But I don’t want the future ones too suplado or he’s out of the window. He’d have to be suplado to other women that’s for sure. Haha.
- Mr. Shades :: Sunglasses are meant to be worn on a sunny day, I also like glasses to hide my zombie-like eyes. But if we’re going out at night or on a rainy day or we’re indoors and he still wears them out of undying love for sunglasses (and oh god puts it on as if it was a headband), no no no!
Masculado :: I don’t like too much muscles but that doesn’t mean I want them thin. I like guys who are toned. Enough fat to be my huggable bear too.- Guys who give flowers :: I don’t mind. I do not require him to give me one every day. Maybe a few times on occasions like my birthday or valentines, he’d have the mind to give me even just one.
- Smiling face :: He’d have to be smiling for a reason. At hindi ung ngiting aso.
- Hiphop :: I don’t know, kinda not my style. I’m not into guys who wear elephant pants that could fit two or three people in them, have enough bling-blings to make silver and gold braces for all the children in China.
- Guys who ask permission before courting :: He doesn’t have to ask permission but I AM dense. I am the densest person around. I wouldn’t know if you’re just flirting or actually courting. There’s a difference so get it straight. I like men who are straightforward with what they want. If you’re say just lusting over me, tell me so we can keep things casual and physical. I won’t have to attach my emotions on you, you won’t have to deal with my bitchy bitterness either. Ain’t that grand.
- Has earring/s :: I would not mind if he has a stud or a ring on one or both ears. But if he has a lot (like 5) on each ear? That’s probably a no. I’m not into those barrel types of earrings either. He’d have to look decent when he removes all those earrings, and won’t look like Edward Scissorhands had his way with him.
- Used to chew bubblegum :: what, all the time? Like the action stars/hoodlums on tv? Ewwwwww and that’s a no if that wasn’t so gosh darn obvious.
- Long-hair :: I don’t mind how long his hair is as long as it looks good on him and he still looks clean. At pwede bang wag naman mas mahaba sa akin? Nakaka insecure naman yun!
- Bald :: just like in #10, it would greatly depend on how it looks on him. There are guys who look way better bald. But then again, I prefer him to have some hair I could grab onto while we’re busy “rough housing”… haha
- Antipatiko :: No. If he’s such an arrogant bastard, I doubt he’d be taking interest on me.
- Torpe :: A bit can be cute but if I always have to make the first move, we’d go nowhere.
- Computer-games addict :: wag naman to the point that he has forgotten to eat, pee, sleep and spend time with me or anyone else for that matter, pakasal na lang sya sa computer/console nya.
- Basketball player :: I’ve dated basketball players before. The girls falling all over them are annoying. I would prefer someone who is a bit sporty (no matter what sport it is) so he can drag me out of my ass to work out. I needta lose weight y’know!
- Mr. Count-my-ex’s-till-you-drop :: A big NO. Who wants that?
- Mestizo :: I’m ok with mestizo men. Although I still like a few good looking morenos. Basta. Depende. Weird ko noh?
- Guys who sing well :: *sigh* a weakness!
- Quiet/tame :: not so much that he’s torpe or inexpressive or to the point that I overpower him. I like a guy who can intimidate me a bit and could properly assert himself without being too dominating or rude.
- Cum laude :: he doesn’t have to be that smart and saucy and formal. Just a guy who’s smart and witty enough to carry on a conversation with me and others. Someone who knows how to adopt i.e. makibagay.
- Formal :: refer to #20.
- Friendly :: he’d have to be friendly with my friends and family too. But I don’t like guys who are too friendly, you know what I mean.
- I have an opinion about anything & everything :: we all have our opinions but nobody wants a know-it-all.
- Motorcycle guy :: some thing about big bikes that gears up my engines but he doesn’t have to be a fan. I’m actually more frightened he’d end up in a tragic accident.
- I {Joiz} daresay “now see no one noticed #25 is missing in action.”
- Rocker :: he likes good rock music? fine. he plays a musical instrument? fine. He wears leather tights and open jackets and grows his untamed hair long and wears eye liners? oh god no.
- Skate boarder :: I’m not a big fan, although I like watching extreme sports. If he was or still likes skate boards, I won’t mind.
- Alaskador (prankster) :: ok lang but there’s a time for pranks and a time for serious matters.
- Flirt :: You may only flirt with me and me alone! -> Amen to that Ms. Aileen and Doc Tess!
- Mr. Campus Crush :: probably no, I don’t want the headache.
- Bigotilyo :: As long as he still looks good and tidy.
- Painter :: an artist! Wow pwede.
- Galante :: to me? of course!! Kuripot na nga ako, kuripot parin sya, san na tayo makakapunta nyan?
- Mr. Love Letter :: pwede na pero wag naman ung super cliche-filled letters! Nagsulat ka pa, copy paste lang din naman pala.
- Maporma :: Fashionista? Not so much. Dapat bagay sa panahon and event and sa get-up ko kasi kung hindi I might end up looking like his yaya or PA.
- Talks Too Much :: a conversationalist but not a blabber mouth. I don’t want to be always just on the listening side.
- Soccer Hottie :: I’m ok with sporty. Refer to #15.
- Anti-Christ :: I do not care about religion, politics or whatever buzz that can create so much conflict and headaches. I’m not a religious nut but I still have my faith. I’d respect whatever his religious beliefs are but he’d also have to respect mine.
- Mama’s Boy :: Go! Go far far away from me!
- Hangs Out With His Friends A Lot :: no. in moderation would be better. I want a responsible guy who knows how to prioritize work before play. He doesn’t always have to coz I know how important guys’ night outs are, but I hope that there are times that when he hangs out with his friends, he’d tag me along.
- Mysterious Guy :: a bit of mystery is a turn on, but if he’s keeping really dark secrets like he’s married or has 4 children with 3 different women, iba na yun.
- Cute Idiot :: No. He can feign stupidity sometimes, you might be physically attractive but I don’t want a total moron.
Guitarist :: guys who are good with their hands! *faints* lol not a requirement. If the guy is musically inclined, and knows a few instruments other than playing the organ (:| , then that’ll be great!- Wide Vocabulary Guy :: oh that would be nice but he’d have to know how to use it otherwise that would be laughable.
- Loves you :: Tinatanong pa ba yan? Of course YES!!
- Tennis guy :: Plus points if he can play with me and teach me again. I haven’t played in a long time.
- Dark skin :: refer to #15
- Tall :: He’d have to be taller than me. He could be as tall as I am IF I’m wearing high heels.
- Chubby :: Huggable? Oh yes please. Basta I fit in his arms and I don’t feel crushed.
- Hairy :: hmmm I don’t like guys with hair all over. Hair on the right places are ok.
Now see that is more or less my standards. The ideal guy would have to be good looking, filthy rich and loves me and only me. But that’s ideal. At the end of it all, I just want someone who would not force me to change for him, someone who would understand and accept (or at the very least tolerate) me for who I am.
And still loves me and only me (this will always hold true). Someone who loves me truly. And when I say there’s only you, believe it, coz it shows, it will always show.
What about you girls? Anyone who’s interested in answering this, go for it.
Wow. Long list! I think I’ll post my list, too… someday. Mehehehe.
Joiz, thanks for leaving message in my blog. ^_^ I really appreciate it (plus the fact that you took the time to leave a comment). Anyway, I think it’s kind of too late for me to post about my list of what my type of guy is. If I make my one and my boyfriend reads it, he might end up being conscious of himself or whatever.
Rocker :: he likes good rock music? fine. he plays a musical instrument? fine. He wears leather tights and open jackets and grows his untamed hair long and wears eye liners? oh god no.
Rocker-wannabes (aka EMOs) wear eyeliner to show the world that they’re ‘rockers’.
J/k! True rockers do not actually have a get-up like that unless you’re a European/American artist who gets a lot of money through music and is able to show off his/her crib in MTV Cribs. 
I think that’s expected. But ‘normal’ people who dress up like that for the heck of it or just to be able to called a rocker is a poser.
