For guys only?

Question

What are the differences in personality traits in a girlfriend and just a female friend?
Is a girl who is into football and laughs and jokes the same way a guy does, but is clearly femenine at the same time, just friend material, or capable of more?
or do guys just go for the typical sweet girl who likes cuddly bears and flowers and non-stop shopping?
i cant see how guys choose how someone is just friend material or whether that girl can be something more...where does the difference lie?

i dont think i made much sense but try and answer anyway!

why do you think im a gay...IM A GIRL for goodness sake!!!

oops sorry, i meant to say guy*

Answer 2

Well, I think you've made sense in what you said, and you're very sweet for wanting to know. For me, they're signs of someone who would make a caring, loving and understanding girlfriend / partner AND friend, as you want to get to the root of this and want to know what works!! : )

But I'd say there isn't much difference in personality traits between a girlfriend and just a female friend - if any at all!! Where the difference lies is in whether or not a guy WANTS to know more about the girl. I say this on the basis that quite a few relationships start off on the grounds of being good friends, which can and have developed into something deeper. And it's funny, it's these relationships that are often the most successful ones - because they're started off as good friends, establishing over time the grounds of a solid relationship. Here, there is a mutual connection on both a physical and spiritual level (girlfriend / partner material), which is long-lasting than say if there was just a physical attraction where the guy is only likely to be potential 'boyfriend material' (nothing more), and not necessarily interested in anymore than just the physical side of it all.

From a guy's point (and I don't speak for all), there is lust and there is love!! Lust being pure physical attraction and love being on a level of understanding a person emotionally AND physically. What I suppose I'm saying is that to take it further from just being a 'female friend' to a girlfriend is having the grounds of being able to develop a connection in more ways than one. So yes, a girl who is friend material, is capable of more with a guy.

Just stay true to yourself, and never undersell yourself - as you can be a female friend first and foremost and in time a girlfriend too - depending on the two involved. There is no difference, nor should you change who you are to please anyone!! : )

Now, I hope I have made sense!!

Answer 3

It makes sense, Your answer is that there is no difference.

I would hapily go out with a girly girl and also a girl that laughs and jokes with the boys.

I think an important factor in all of it is how they get on with your friends, being a bloke is tough enough when you start seeing someone, we always get grief saying "you never come out anymore etc etc, so in an ideal world they would be able to do both, be a girly and have a laugh....

we / i don't like people that are up there own backsides!! but unfortunatly there are males and females out there that like a trophy Bird (looks good on the arm but is awful in reality)

Every guy is different, and every scenario is different. In my professional oppinion, If a guy likes someone as a girlfriend, you will find many of the same traits as the female friend, but there is usually something special, like a chemistry between the two that jsut wasnt in the friend. Sometimes that isnt the case, and they could have exactly the same traits. It just depends on what the guy is attracted to.
I hope you understood that ...I tried

Answer 5

Each guy is different. No two are the same. I think it would be very tricky to group women or men into two groups. Those to be friends with. And.......those to be girlfriends. Sometimes guys will have a girlfriend who is so......close she is like a sister. Being intimate or physical could to them be like sleeping with their sister. Some guys
need to have girlfriends or are just more at ease with female friends.
Sometimes a long lasting friendship with a guy you are not involved with is more valuable that boyfriends/girlfriends who may come and go. A friend is for life. If you know a guy and are friends with him perhaps hes not comfortable taking it to the next level.

Answer 6

I find it very hard to resist urges alot with female friends. If they're my friends then there is something that I like about them. And if they start acting feminine and all I start think of relationship material. However none ever see me in that light. Happened all throughout high school.

My advice is to be direct, see if you can work the relationship cause any relationship will require work. If she isn't interested in you, back off, seriously consider if the friendship is worth it, If its a long childhood friend maybe, but don't punish yourself by holding out hope.

Answer 7

Guys want a girlfriend that is the proverbial angel on the street and a devil in the bedroom. Those traits have to show through sometime other than in the bedroom to become the apple of his eye. There has to be some mystery in order to get his attention. Try telling him you had a dream, about him.

Answer 8

Your question makes sense. I think it depends on what you want in a girlfriend. Some guys like their girls to be the exact opposite of what they are, while other guys like to share hobbies, interests, and personalities. Whatever appeals to you more is what you should go with. Often times, if a friendship is built, romance can follow. If I were you, I'd try to go on dates with some girls from each category. Then you will get a feel for what you like.

Answer 9

A man would like a girl that likes football, laughs and jokes like a guy. But we tend to gravitate towards the girl that doesn't, and then wish she would watch a football game with us and understand our manly humor. I don't understand how we choose either. Good question!!

Answer 10

This is the Truth and nothing but the Truth. Men can not have women as friends. If they do have women as friends they are not physically attracted to them.So there you go if you are sexy looking then you can never have a man as a friend. If you are ugly then men can be your friend. It doesn't matter what you know about anything if you are sexy looking your just that a sex toy and if you are not you one of the guys.

Answer 11

Afemale friend could be a work partner,neighbor etc. A girl friend is someone who is interesting,and seems to enjoy some of the things that the guy likes.
