When Men And Women Answer Each Other's Dating Questions
Tumblr

Of course, you have probably heard many women say that "men are from a different planet." It can often seem that way when you are head over heels in boy drama. Psychological studies have proven that men and women communicate differently, with women coming from an emotional place and men bringing a more logical perspective. While it may be true that men and women are not all that different, it is this key distinction that can cause more confusion than understanding. As promised last week, and in an effort to help all of my single peeps and bring couples around the Web closer together, I gathered random men and women into various chat groups to answer each other's most pressing dating questions. Take a look below and see what you think:

NOTE : All users with a * have asked to remain anonymous.

Question: "What do you guys look for in girls in terms of physical appearance?" - SingleSince95*

Answer: "Well, when I met my girlfriend (now my wife), I fell in love with her eyes, so that's what I would have to say." - Greg M.

Question: "What are the best 'get to know you' questions to ask on a first date?" - Reddit user completelyowned

Answer: "I think that the first date is always the most challenging. Between trying to make a good first impression, learning about the other person and trying not to take it too seriously, it's hard to find the right words to say. This might sound weird considering that you can't compare a potential love interest to a purse or anything else that you might shop online for, but all of the details that you learn about this person are likely what determine whether or not you want to give him/her a chance. Do your research. Ask them what they envision their future being like. But still don't get too caught up in that. Even if they are just in your life for that moment, be present enough to enjoy it!" - HopefulInLove*

Question: "What is one of the most important qualities that you look for in a guy?" - Vinny214*

Answer: "For me, I think that some of the most important qualities I look for in a guy are compassion, positivity, humor and a sense of adventure. I personally love doing charity work and traveling and I want someone who makes life fun. I also said humor and positivity because I want someone who keeps things interesting. Spontaneity and living for the moment is one of the most attractive things that a guy can do!" - Debbie A.

Question: "How would you describe your ideal partner in three words?" - Tavita P.

Answer: "Dedicated, respectful and loyal." - Charles M.

Question: "If a woman has known someone for a very long time and they seem like a good match together, but the woman doesn't have feelings for the man, what is it about the guy friend that makes her not want to date him?" - EncryptedHeart7*

Answer: "Personally, I think it has to do more about possibly ruining the friendship. I always have that fear in the back of my mind of no longer being friends with this person if we break up. Is it worth ruining a friendship that maybe took years to build? Sometimes, we would rather just be friends with the person instead because of that fear. Or maybe it's because we have been friends for so long that we start to see them as a brother, as opposed to a lover. We get comfortable with them in a sense of caring for them like a family member would because of that trust and bond that has been established over the years. It then gets to a point where you don't see them in any other way. Just a friend." - Ibis H.

If you are one of the select people that I told about this article, you may be wondering why there has not been any mention of "Are You The One?" contestant Kaylen Zahara up to this point. Sadly, I have not been able to get in contact with her, and although I would love to be able to wait for her to respond, I have a deadline to meet. So instead, I will leave you with a question of my own. I featured it on my new YouTube video (you can check all of my social media accounts to get the link since I don't have it handy at the moment). Share your thoughts in the comments section below this article. Let me say in advance that I appreciate everyone who took the time to collaborate with me on this article!! Okay, here it goes:

"Everyone knows that I have not had a boyfriend yet, but you would think that I might have by now because a decent amount of guys have shown some level of interest in me. They usually want to know personal information about my life, which I know to be a sign of interest and genuinely wanting to get to know me more. This all seems well for a few weeks until the guy whom I am talking to decides to completely blow me off. About a week or two afterwards, I have to find out on Instagram that they have a girlfriend. What's up with that?!"

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
