Who Is Your Dating Kryptonite?
You like a guy who knows how to talk the talk. He knows exactly what to say and when to say it in order to have you hanging on his every word. He may not be the hottest in the room, but there’s something about his personality that is just so magnetic.
He never opens with a boring “Where are you from?" or “What’s your name?” like the other lame-asses at the bar. No, this guy knows how to read his audience and cater to it perfectly.
You’re not one to shy away from a challenge in any realm of your life, and dating is no exception. Other people see a jobless loser who still lives with his mom; you see a diamond in the rough. Other people couldn’t fix him because they didn’t see his potential like you did!
This diamond in the rough is your ultimate weakness in the dating game.
You met him at a cool dive bar. Or maybe a bookstore. Or was it at a concert for some band nobody’s ever heard of? He was hot in a scruffy, tried-hard-to-look-like-I-didn’t-try-at-all kind of way. And you guys just had the deepest conversation. You skipped the flirty banter and just went straight for the heart-to-heart. Maybe he even told you about his feminist beliefs!
This would all be well and good if it were your first time around the block with this guy and you didn’t know full well that he was probably having the same heart-to-hearts with about eight other girls whom he is also going to bang. How feminist of him. <3
Usually a jock, this guy is just honestly really hot. He's hot and good at whatever sport he may or may not play. Maybe he didn’t quite feel that pressing need to build a personality like the rest of us did. He’s nice, sure. But there’s just not a whole lot going on up there.
When he inevitably cheats on you or hooks up with another girl in front of you, you can’t even be mad. He was too stupid to know otherwise.
You guys don’t have any sort of deep emotional connection. He doesn’t take you amazing dates and, to be honest, you don’t even like his personality all that much. Cuddling when you’re done hooking up feels like cruel and unusual punishment. And, OMG, conversation the next morning is terrible.
So what keeps you coming back for more? The absolutely palpable magnetic sexual attraction. The sex is FANTASTIC. And that’s enough for you.
You love yourself a good old-fashioned foreign dude. You know the one. You and your girls are at the bar and you find yourself eyeing the one guy sitting in the corner in the too-tight clothes looking a little too comfortable with his sexuality and you know he is the guy for you. Then he opens his mouth and out comes his sexy foreign accent and, boom, game over. This guy must be yours.
There is just something about a guy with an accent…
Maybe he has a girlfriend. Maybe he doesn’t live in the same area as you. Heck, maybe he just doesn’t really like you all that much. Either way, there is something so unattainable about this guy in the hottest way possible.
Your friends keep yammering on about how you deserve so much better than this guy who barely gives you the time of the day, but they just could never understand how much you love a good chase.
Simply put, you’re into dorks. Dweebuses. Geeks, if you will. You like the boy who feels awkward at the party. The one who would much rather sit at a coffee shop having an in-depth conversation about "Star Wars" than go to a kegger and mack on the ladies. In fact, this guy wouldn't even know how to mack.
He likes science. He likes cartoons. He maybe even likes dinosaurs! And you find all of his dorky interests just downright ADORABLE.
You are all about the life of the party. That guy doing the keg stand at the party? You KNOW he was president of his frat in college. Or maybe he wasn’t, because that was too much responsibility and he was just trying to party. Either way, this guy f*cking loves to party. He’s a social butterfly. You can find him at the center of any dance floor after he shot-guns a couple of brewskis outside.
He is FUN. Sure, he’s a little bit of a boys' boy … some would even venture to call him a man-child. But, honestly, you like his fun energy. Maybe he's the only one who can get you to really let your hair down! Or maybe you’re a bit of a party animal yourself...
This guy calls the shots. His friends want to be him, and it’s obvious why. He walks into the room, and all of the attention is automatically on him. You get to dinner, and he’s ordering for the both of you in the hottest way ever. He isn’t afraid to double (maybe even quadruple) text you, because he's a guy who does what he wants to get what he wants. And, more often than not, he ends up getting what he wants… especially when it’s you.
There is just something about his assertive confidence and his unfaltering persistence that draws you more and more toward him.
