what do girls like for guys as far as looks/personality?

[Rextos]

as far as looks, regardless of skin color, I like girls who are lean with a nice figure, pretty face and long hair. For personality I do not know because I've never really had much experience talking to girls, but I guess I would want one that is friendly and easy to talk to.
pics like these:

so for girls like that, what traits do they like in a guy?

because honestly i've never really known how a guy should look or act. I look around at other guys and i never really know what guys are considered attractive for girls because to me all guys kinda look boring, dull - but girls are more interesting and beautiful in general. But i assume girls like tall guys though I am only 5'8....and I assume they like fit guys...but I notice lot of guys walk with their chest puffed out/shoulders squared and stuff, do girls like that? i do slouch a bit, should I walk with my chest out all tough guy like? I've had people say be yourself, but i've also had people say that I need to be more tough and manly, so should i be like that? It makes sense because I like girls that are girly, so i assume girls like guys who are "manly"?

tbh i feel like those guys look kinda douchey, but is that the same as how maybe some girls feel the girls in those pics are fake? What is the male equivalent of the girls in those pics i linked?

like if a guy wanted a girlfriend like that girls in those pics, then how should he look and act?

I'm asking this very sincerely, and i know at least 95% of you think I'm a tool at this point, but please humor me because I really want to know. Lot of times I have trouble getting my point across as to what I am asking, but I tried to convey my question as clearly as i could, so I hope it makes sense.

and as much as I would like to believe that one day i would find a beautiful girl who will love me for me, at the age of 27 I can see that's not likely to happen. So i want to change myself because even though I know I will probably never get a girlfriend at this point since everyone my age is pretty much taken already, I want to be able to change myself so I can wake up every morning knowing I am a great catch who just ended up being single, rather than the loser who keeps thinking he will get an angel girlfriend in heaven after he dies.


thanks

Height doesn't really matter.

Change for yourself, not for a girl. You are not a project. Be open and honest, be yourself. If you pretend to be something that you are not to get a girl you won't like what you end up with.

Good luck.

I agree with brewer. Be yourself.

Go check out the beard thread. Nuff said.

5'8 isn't exactly dwarf height even for a guy. It's taller than the average woman, average for women is about 5'4 I think.

Confidence will get you far regardless of what you look like. My Dad was never the best looking in the room (5'8, skinny, not fashionable, and balding even when he was young) but he always had the most women flocking to him, and it's because he had that charisma that people just took note when he entered the situation.

I used to have hang-ups about my appearance, but then I went to university. If you ever want a reality check about how UN-shallow people really are, head to the nearest university campus. Average-looking people, dating everywhere, getting laid everywhere. Real people are not that shallow, the media really overplays how shallow we are.

right on thanks guys, hey do girls like beards? tbh i dont like facial hair at all!! i prefer to be clean shaven...i mean i think some people can pull off beards, like scott discik and zayn malik, but overall i think clean shaven looks better. also my foacial hair is pretty patchy and looks messy so in general i look way better clean shaven.

Depends on the guy, really.

Some people suit beards, some don't.

Women in general are attracted to masculine men. Facial hair is associated with masculinity that's why women love it.
Although if you are living in a place where everyone is waking around with their beard you're better off shaving. If you are just any regular old sleaze you're not going to register in anyone's mind.

Justin Bieber, Harry Styles and those other twinks from One Direction all say "hello"

Facial hair is one of those things that every individual woman (and gay man) seems to have a unique preference on. You'll have some women who say they hate all facial hair and like clean shaven, then lots who love the beards, then you have the in-betweens who like stubble but not too much. Like anything really, women aren't monolithic, they have different tastes. And that's good, if someone isn't attracted to you, oh well, someone else will be. Again, just do whatever you're comfortable with, you shouldn't be changing yourself for anyone. You have enough confidence in yourself and own what you like, people will be attracted to you regardless.
