1) Long hair is a turn off for me
2) Being called babe or baby if your in a relationship with that person can be sweet
3)Not clingy, but I like them to have some interest in me and be affectionate
4)Buff guys. Muscles are a big turn on for me, my current boyfriend can bench press me.
5)Tall, I've never dated under 6 ft.
6) I liked cocky/confident, but when a guy also knows how to spend some quiet time with me

1) I think long hair is okay. As long as it doesn't cover his face! But of course, ultimately it's HIS choice. I don't really mind.2) I'll like it only if the guy means it!3) I don't really like guys who are overly clingy and needy. I prefer independent and determined guys.4) Somewhere in between the two! Too muscly is scary and too skinny isn't really for me either.5) I prefer taller men (because I'm tall too), but not TOO tall. 10-15 cm taller than me = perfect height for me! 6) I prefer a guy who's in between as well for this! Too quiet = no good. Girls get sick of being the active ones after awhile. Too loud = Noisy and irritating!I like guys who are sensitive (but not OVERLY sensitive) to my feelings and spares a thought for me. I like a good listener who'll always be interested in what I have to say. I also like guys who do sweet things like shyly asking me out to dinner and things like that. A little shyness is cute but being too shy is bad.Oh and, I like guys with ear piercings too.Okay, I'm simply describing my crush here LOL I should stop! But yeah, I like almost everything about my crush.

 it really all depends of the girl, but personally...
1) i like a guys hair to be somewhere in between; not shaved or bald, but no so long it could be in a ponytail lol. something like this:http://fashionmagazine-best.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/spiky-mens-hair.jpg is hot! (imo)
2) i think the terms "babe" and "baby" have been overused. either term used outside of a relationship is just weird, and makes me think the guy wants something. dating, baby could be cute (depending on how it's said and as long as it's not overused). but there are things i would rather be called.
3) clingy guys, no. it might be novel idea at first, that he'd be entirely devoted, but after awhile it just gets annoying. i like when a guy has his own life, but wants to include me in it; not a guy who has to be with me every second.
4) i like a guy somewhere in-between; wide shoulders are a total turn on for me and i have no clue why. i like a guy who has a little definition, but i'd rather him be on the thicker side rather than a total buff or twig
5) i dont necessarily like tall guys, just guys taller than me. makes a girl feel secure.
6) if i had to pick one of the 2, then quiet; i hate when guys talk just to hear their own voices, total turn off. i like the happy medium, someone who can keep up a convo but knows when to be quiet.
hope this helps =)

2) HATE it with a passion, i personally find it so demeaning...maybe a bit over the top but meh :P i prefer people to call me by my name....or a nickname lol
3)Generally no, not clingy, but affectionate...yes
4)In between....too skinny and i'd be worried about them breaking in half O.o but too muscley and id just be creeped out.
5)Im quite short, so, id say taller than me...but quite honestly, it doesnt matter by how much =]
6) Quiet =] not so quiet you cant have a conversation with them, but not so loud that the whole world can hear them.

reader, anonymous, writes (1 December 2010): my personal opinion:)
1.) not girlish-ly long hair. I personally don't like it if it's mor than an inch longer than where your ears end.
2.) I do:) in some cases. like if you're being really sweet about it. I prefer "baby" over "babe". I DON'T like it if the guy isn't being sweet about it, and just says like, "babe! come here!" then it just sounds dumb.
3.) not overly clingy. but a lot of the time yes, I do. I like the feeling that someone cares enough to constanly want to be around me. but in the firt couple weeks of the relationship, I'd back off. because it's just creepy if it's in the begining.
4.) personally, I find both of them very attractive. though I know most girls think buff guys are hotter, I've always had a strong attraction to twiggy guys for some reason. though I'm no twig myself:/ but, sometimes, I like te buff idea better, because I feel like he'd be able to protect me more.
5.) yes. most deffinately:) but, if you're short, you're cute though:)... but I like short guys a lot too. I don't think it matters too much. there isn't much you can do abou your height anyway. so. yeah.
6.) a mixture. not too loud. if you're too loud, you're cocky. not too quiet either. if you're too quiet, you're a loner. some where in between, where you have a certain confidence, that isn't too cocky, but is a good thing, and shines through, but also a humbleness to it too. a guy that's more on the quiet side, genrally comes off as sweeter. so, if I HAD to go with one, I'd pick quiet:).....but not too much.

I prefer tall guys 5ft 9 and over Im 5ft 3 so I like someone taller makes me feel protected lol
I dont like muscles very much like guys like Taylor Lautner body kinda turn me off I liked toned but no "The Situation" Jersey Shore type.
I dont like clingy guys but I like an eager guy.
I like a guy thats confident in his own skin. Confidence but no arrogance.
I think its cute if a guy calls you "baby" or "babe" but only if your dating them otherwise I find it a bit sleazy.

Naw don't worry about it man. 2 years means whatever you're doing you're doing it right. If you start to "give her space" she might start to think you're falling out love with her or losing interest.
If clingyness was going to be a problem you would know by now.

KissPEPPER is verified as being by the original poster of the question
Hey thanks for all the answers, these were just some questions I wonder about and it's good to hear what you think.
I've been with my girlfriend for 2 years now and we get along great and I hear guys calling their girlfriends babe and baby which is cool I guess, so I asked if she wanted to be called babe and she said nah, she thought it was nice I actually said her name, So I just wanted to see what every other girl thought
I'm pretty clingy I think and I give her space and it works out good and nothing bad has happened 'yet' from being abit to clingy but seeing what you all think, maybe I should give her abit more space before it does lead to a problem?
With the tall guy bit I've wondered that for awhile to and the strong/buff bit I've always wondered if girls find that 'sexy' or what ever lol
With the quiet or loud bit, have you ever been out in public and seen a guy talking loud and craving the attention of everyone? and sometimes the girls all over him, I've wondered if girls like that, I'm actually pretty shy and quiet
And with the long hair bit, I've got the whole emo hair cut thing going on and think its great lol, but I've noticed alot of girls hate it, just wondered
Well thanks for answering, have a good day :)

 A nice change from the usual roundup! Keep in mind I'm 25 but I remember 16-17.
1. Actually, I'm put off by long hair, the whole in a ponytail Steven Seagal look just doesn't do it for me. If it's longer than mine I'd be a little jealous. I prefer the clean cut short look, maybe a little grown out, but kept natural and styled messy. No gel, that flaky, sticky, stiff look is just a huge turn-off. I like to playfully mess up his hair without getting my hand stuck.
2. As far as "babe" goes, I don't mind it. My husband calls me "babe" so it doesn't phase me either way. Before I met my husband, I was actually annoyed by guys who called me "babe, baby, honey"..it's like I have a name use it or did you forget it? Also I find it too general, like one aunt said call me "beautiful or gorgeous" but from time to time. At your age range it's perfectly acceptable, when you grow older you'll toss the pet names.
3. I'd be surprised if anyone answers yes to this question. No, I don't care for stage 5 clingers..you can't shake them off when the relationship ends! Also breaking up with them is a nightmare, they make that transition from clinger to stalker.
4. I've had both, and I find that I prefer the tall skinny guys. Those jacked up, overly, not so portioned, muscular men who look like they're on steroids (in which they usually are) aren't the least bit attractive. Now a little muscle is required, but I just don't want them trying to bench press me.
5. 5'6''and up is my requirement..I find some guys who are shorter than me tend to have a bad attitude, and are cockier than usual. For what? Unless they're packing in their pants then they've got no excuse for their behavior.
Tallest I've dated was 6'7'', kinda awkward trying to kiss the Jolly Green Giant.
6. I don't like them loud, obnoxious to the point where they command attention, and I find them talking over me. But I don't like them quiet as a mouse where I feel like I'm talking to myself, running out of open ended questions to ask, or that I need to buy a hearing aid in order to hear them.
A guy who has a normal tone, not shy, well articulated in the English language, and who contributes to the conversation is a happy medium.
For 16-17, you guys are hyperactive, talkative, loud, obnoxious, and just can't contain your energy. Understandable, chicks your age dig that. Now, if you're shy, socially awkward, and can't approach a girl then you may not win her over. Gotta overcome that shyness, and talk to the girl. Then there's times once you get the girl of where silence is much needed.

 This is a fun question, so I hope you won't mind if I unleash my inner cougar and answer as if I still had time and desire to check out young long-haired guys...
1) Long hair are fantastic and very sexy. Only if alwyas clean and shiny ,though. Not bushy ,unkempt or ( ugh ) dirty, . And not waist-length as a male stripper.
Does anybody remember Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall ? That was some long hair !
2)I agree with you, it's lame. Particularly "babe". Babe ?
Like in "I got you babe " ?! - the sixties are over.
3). No. Reasonably affectionate is nice,- but clingy is a turn off.
4) personally I prefer skinny. Buff guys remind me of "Jersey Shore ". But I have got the feeling that many young women are more into muscles.
5) Yes, they do like tall guys. Ask any short guy :)
6) Quiet. Not quiet like a corpse or a zombie, but quiet.
Loud is really obnoxious for every woman over 16 or 17 that I have ever met.

 It has to be a whole package, looks and personality. He could be the greatest looking guy in the world, but if he doesnt listen, and care about my feelings, then he is ugly to me.
I like a man with a little meat on his bones, someone with a good sense of humor....Not too loud, but not too quiet. I like a man with confidence, and who likes people. Someone with good social skills, likes to talk, but not dominate a conversation.
I like a man who is not clingy, but who likes to talk often and misses me. On the other hand, I want to be able to go out with friends without him being jealous. And I want him to have friends other than me. I want to feel secure, but not smothered. I want him to love me and care about me but not be jealous of my other friendships.
I want him to be able to express his feelings, I love being called baby...when I think he means it.
Sooooo if you find this guy....send him my way. LOL

1. It depends on girls. But i think most of them like it long say a moderate height i would say. but short hair is not bad either as far as your personality is great
2. Personally i like it when my bf called me baby. but i think babe is much better.girls like being called named such as sweetheart, honey, my life, etc.. because it is an easy way to ensure them that you love them and care for them. yeah baby too is a good choice since its something like delicate, innocent and soft
3. No girls don't like clingy guys. because they would want some privacy of them not that always you will here and there behind them.
4. girls prefer skinny and strong guys.
5. yeah they like tall guys
6. Quiet one are mostly preferred

 We're al different :) 1. I don't mind long hair, but it's not something that I really look at when I meet a guy and "check him out." 2. I like being called baby more than I do babe but never, ever when I first meet a guy. It's a total turn-off then and I'd brand the guy as either weird or a player who thinks I'm in the bag. 3. I don't mind a guy who loves to spend a lot of time or call/text me on the phone a few times. But, there's a balance. If he's too clingy, I start feeling suffocated/annoyed. 4. I don't like guys who are too buff, body-builders turn me off like crazy :p But, I don't usually go for extremely thin guys. I like a nice, solid body...I can't break you in half and vice versa :p 5. Never liked loud men as romantic partners. I don't have a lot of patience for people who are obnoxious :/ Quiet men appeal to me for the apparent mystery or shyness...I love that! But, I love an amazing conversationalist too :) A guy who can be witty without resorting to loud spectacles is simply awesome.

reader, anonymous, writes (30 November 2010): 1.Do girls like guys with long hair?
I had long hair most of my life, ponytail long. So yes, there are plenty that do and even ones that loved my long messy unkempt hair. I found that it was great for weeding out the superficial women. Girls that like athletic slicked back hair guys aren't my type.
2.Do girls like guys who call them babe or baby? (I don't do this, I don't know why I just think it's lame)
It is lame until that girl has earned it in your mind. I wasn't a fan of pet names either but when you fall in love you just can't help but call them by something as sweet as they are. Sexy face and tasty arse are ones I call my my girlfriend. It can be fun if they find it cute or funny.
3.Do girls like clingy guys?
No, mostly they don't. Although I do know a few insecure girls that won't date a guy unless he's clingy, they just don't feel wanted enough unless a guy calls and texts every second. But funnily enough they get sick of it after a while.
4.Do girls perfer strong/buff guys or skinny/twiggy guys
They're all different and some even like heavy/fat guys. All us guys have different body sizes and shapes. The one thing that all girls look for healthy, that's the key to attracting women is having a healthy body. Most girls want a guy who's clean too, although I have dated girls that got very turned on when I was sweaty and stinky.
5.Do girls like tall guys?
Yes in fact most girls like guys that are at least taller than them. Tall guys are the most desirable though traditionally.
6.Do girls like guys who are quiet or loud?
Each girl is different, but in general a good balance of both, as the situation requires kind of thing. A quiet respectful guy that isn't afraid to speak up and speak his mind.
You should forget all those thing and just remember, what girls want is confident, self assured, happy, fun, funny guys having a bit of extra cash lying around helps a lot too.
The only thing important with looks if you want to attract more women is good health and fitness.
You don't need to be built like a marine, but you do need to be able to do things with strength and efficiency. This last part isn't a requirement with women, most don't care but trust me as a guy that used to be chubby, there's nothing better a confidence booster than becoming fitter and stronger, this confidence is like diamond to women they can't get enough of a confident guy.
FYI: While I respect KC100's opinion the standard image of a muscular well toned guy as being handsome is one most girls can't resist. As she said the huge juicer guys aren't that attractive but a well toned, well defined body is one very few women will turn down. Think of Tyler Durdan in fight club, or Travis Bickle in taxi driver and you'll see what I mean.
It's not really important to them, but it makes the difference between mmm and WOW when they see your body!

 Ok I will try and answer these in order:
1. Long hair can be attractive, it would not put me off a guy. But ONLY if the hair is clean (long greasy hair is a big turn off!), if it suits him (as in part of his style/personality, not just he cant be bothered to cut it), and if its not TOO long (as in much past shoulder/upper back level). And a pony tail on a man is not a good look - so shoulder length hair that is clean and worn loose can be attractive, but anything else you are walking on shaky ground.
2. Being called babe and baby - dont like it if I have just met the guy or are only friends. It is creepy and too familiar. Now if I was in a relationship, and had been with the guy for a couple of months, and he called me baby - I would think it was quite sweet. But outside of a relationship I think it is cheesy and creepy.
3. No-one likes clingy guys, just as guys dont like clingy girls! Everyone needs their own space, freedom and time to themselves to spend time with friends, family or doing their own hobbies. If a guy wants to be with me all the time, needs me to text or call all day every day, wants to know what I'm doing etc - I would find that very controlling and I would feel smothered, and I could not be with a guy who was like that. I am attracted to independent men who know what they like and what they want in life - and know how to go and get it. They dont need anyone else - they just see a girlfriend as a nice addition to their lives.
4. Personally I dont like muscular guys, and six packs and big pectoral muscles are gross (in my opinion). But this is different for EVERY girl you speak to, some will like muscular guys, some will like a balance between slim and muscly, and then other girls will like skinny men. I have always gone for men that are skinny/slim, I dont like it if they look unhealthily thin but I do love a tall slim man!
5. Tall men - now again, this is personal preference but I do find myself more attracted to tall men (over 6ft). Although, my current boyfriend who I have just moved in with is only 5ft 8, but I am only 5ft 3 so it doesnt really matter as long as he is taller than me!
6. Quiet or loud - somewhere in the middle for me. Loudmouth, in your face guys are annoying and are just trying to get attention which is a big turn off for me. But then again I would not want a guy who has no social skills and cannot hold a conversation with anybody. So I would say a guy who is quiet but who is interesting, has lots to talk about and has some confidence too.
But keep in mind - all girls are different and what I like will be a big turn off for other girls so you can never really know exactly what one particular girl will like! But ALL girls just want a guy who treats them well, who is funny, who is a gentleman and who is confident. There is nothing more sexy than a guy with a bit of confidence, who can make you laugh and who treats you with respect. Not a lot else matters if you can master those 3 things!
I hope this helps and good luck!
