I can only answer this platonically, but that's ok because for straight girls most romantic love starts as platonic.

Personally, I look for being a good person above all else. I need someone I can confide in when I'm at my lowest. Someone who won't dismiss me. Someone who won't tell me to suck it up. Someone who at least TRIES to understand.

I look for a guy who has an understanding of the world, at least to an extent. I'm not saying be a political expert, but if you want to understand and befriend a girl, start by understanding the dangers in this world.

I could care less about looks, heck one of my closest male friends has shoulder length hair and is 5'2, although to reiterate, this is platonic. So for romantic attraction, looks may matter.

Above all, I want a guy who doesn't put himself down for the sake of looking good. Who's not afraid to let his guard down and admit that he isn't ok. These are the people who it's easiest to befriend. Yes I know it's hard, but you will see the difference as how close you get to people.

This is just my take, and I'd say I'm a bit different because the guys at my school were the ones who took me in after the ABGs became too white washed to care about my existent, and they fit pretty much all of what I listed above. Some girls, probably most actually, will have different things they look for. But... Honestly? Personality > Looks. Take in the girl in the corner, make her feel welcome. Actively make discussion when you see a loner.

Just... be a good person.

I would say height but some girls ik do NOT like tall guys
This guy was 5’10 and I was like omg that’s a good height and she was like “no omg hes too tall I want someone 5’3” lmho

@bove you do not know how much confidence that gave me

Im like 100% sure that height only matters to girls who do of and some how that went mainstream. As long as you dont like a girl who does of you shud be good. 5’2 isn’t bad your still taller than a lot of girls

yeah I would take a 5'3' guy over a 6'3" guy any day

I'm 5 ft lmao
