What kind of girls/boys you like?

I feel the same race's girls are close to me.

I like action-cute, good body building, pretty, beautiful smile, not-disguising, charming look, young, good temper, cute and sweet voice's girls.

But this may not queue to me here...

Brilliant ones. And I'm exceedingly picky.
 
I only like green ones.

Really? Why are you so? Do you have any amie?

Uh...because I'm bored with girls who aren't brilliant? And no, I don't. I'm picky, remember?

Haha, recently our school's students like to play brokeback... May be they are also bored to girls. But I believe they are not serious.
 
To play "brokeback" is fun. Try it.
 
"Brokeback"

This is a term I am unfamiliar with. Would I be presumptuous if I guessed its meaning?

"amie" This is another term I am not familiar with. I have no idea what to make of it.
 
While the movie is forbidden in the Great Eastern Empire, its title has engendered a new slang in China.
This is OLD news, at least to me.

Riiiight...
I think you just called me gay, and that you didn't understand what I actually said, but I'm not quite sure.

"Amie" is french for girlfriend.

Originally you also think so... I think you know the experience?

"Ami" is french for boyfriend.
"Voulez vous ouvrir le fenetre, s'il vous plait?" means "Would you like to open the window, please?"

Actually, I got a decent grade in French..

Perhaps I'm reading too much into this whole thing.

yuwinsin seems to be suggesting that, where he comes from, "to play Brokeback" can be more of a fad than a way of life. As if you might "try it" because you're bored.
 
  • #15
Well, you might be right, Dave, but it sure cures boredom on occasion..

Absolute not! We are only to mock each them, we are friends, it is only to joy... You mistook my meaning...

Very interesting..

Actually, the apathetic, almost flaccid temperament is way too maligned in our days. We should encourage it in the young nowadays; it will reduce the level of conflicts in our world.

Yes, our Chinese are very friendly...

I am very pride to our friendship...

It's very hot in China, I believe. I'll probably have to cut my sleeve, and hopefully, I'll be offered a half-eaten peach to quench my thirst.

Oh, its not apathy. Its arrogance and elitism.

I want a brilliant man. I've dated guys with brains and I've dated guys with looks. I'll take brains over looks any time.

My dream man would be tall, thin, pale, wear glasses and be brilliant. [rant]But he wouldn't be hypercritical of trivial things and make me afraid to talk to him.[/rant] :frown: :cry:

I know it's corny, but more than anything else, the thing that attracts me to women (and I suppose people in general) is their capacity to enjoy life.

It's a bit frustrating because a number of the things that I enjoy are relatively solitary pursuits, or are atypical pursuits for women in our society.

P.S.
Regarding French:
Amie is 'friend (female)', petite amie is 'girlfriend'.

Glasses? Bah, who needs em. Not my failing vision, no sirree. Actually, I think all this time at the computer is making my eyes go bad. Not in an optical sense, as far as I can tell, my actual eyeballs are still 20/20 each, but I have a lot of trouble getting the both eyes to focus on the same thing sometimes, especially after 5-6+ hours at the computer, so its a muscle problem as far as I can tell. Not fun though, since I tend to lose the ability to focus on anything for a few hours at a time once or twice a week almost now.

But, surely, "petit ami" is not an affectionate term for a boyfriend, is it?

French is very strange..:confused:

I'm not the best French speaker, but the difference between 'ami' and 'petit ami' is probably pretty close to the difference between 'friend' and 'boyfriend' in English.

Some French terms of endearment are a bit odd. "Mon chou" (my cabbage) is the best-known of the lot, but 'mon petit crotte' has got to be high on the list for strange. http://perso.wanadoo.fr/courriersducoeur/surnoms.htm has a list .

A SPANNER, I've never heard that term before, sounds very impressive. Lucky girl.

i adore my boyfriend, i can't imagine a better guy and i can't wait to see him in just 3 weeks! smart, confident, but sweet and tender, plus I've never seen a guy who looked sexier.

when looking at any guy, smiles are probably the most attractive feature. a smart guy with a great smile who smiles a lot...

Something I've been always thinking of, why always 2 people tie up together, aren't our minds able to handle 'many' girl/boy friends?
I often refer to group of male friends as friends, group of male and female friends as friends, but when I refer to female friends as friends, it doesn't give away a notion of feminine friendship. While speaking of female-friends to you simply refer to them as friends?

It's pretty hard to say what kind of girlfriend I 'd like. I'd like her to know particle physics and help me with all the problems. But really, I'd like my girlfriend to enjoy the nature, walking together, and not complaining when we don't talk. I'd like her to enjoy silence. I'd like my girlfriend to disobey most of the rules sitting in heads of social pairs. Doesn't have to be pretty or whatever, why does she need to?

And people say I'm too picky. I just want brilliance. I don't even care in what field, muchless about the rest.

Depends. I'm bisexual, so it's very different.

If I were looking for a girl, I'd want her to be wild, fun, and know how to enjoy life, but caring, sweet, and understanding. She'd also have to be shorter then I am, let me pay for the bill, and be able to accept that some of my friends could never know we were together (Lest I'd never see my godchild...).

If I were looking for a guy, I'd want someone smart, funny but serious, someone who likes to read and wouldn't mind holding me when I'm upset. He would support me with whatever I want to do, and help with things. Someone who will also come to my shows without being asked, will bring me flowers, and cheer me on, even if I forget my lines and fall onto stage. :)

IMO, the defining characteristic of this thread so far, is the shear volume of miscommunications, misunderstandings, and language barriers. Just an observation. :frown:

She'll need the spanner right because your a sex machine?

Oily, in other words you like women who don't mind getting dirty?

Why all the euphamisims :smile:

I like women who are phisically and mentally attractive, I'm strange that way, although I won't tell anyone the ratio for fear I might incriminate myself, suffice to say it's probably on the bad side of shallow, like most men.
 
  • #43
I dunno, but I'd like to have a petit ami, who is caring, smart, loyal, and a little bit good-looking. That's about it. And that's not demanding et all, but somehow, I haven't found my mate yet... :cry: :cry: :cry:

:!) :!) Oh my God, Evo described me! :!) :!)

(Honestly, I'm 6'-2", 145 lbs, pale, wear glasses, and...Oh well, 4 out of 5 ain't bad. :biggrin: Oh and I'm generally easy going, especially about trivial things!) :!)

I'm also married, but I love Evo in a way that my wife would in no way mind. Right? :biggrin: :!) :-p

So, you're saying 'you're attracted to women that you're attracted to'.

Ah. That clears things up.

I think the idea was to define what you consider attractive. Hmm?
 
  • #46
I've made that mistake before, it's always wrong to think of what I will be attracted to in strict terms. I then meet someone who defies the criteria and have to reinvent it. If you want easy generalisations with no insight though here goes. Nice rack, not unpleasant to look at,smart witty and fun to be around. Absolutely not pretentious arrogant or a b**ch. There that clears that up :biggrin: I preferred the original discription less damning.
