is nice,sweet and knows how to treat a girl.

As I often do at the start of my postings, I'll remind the reader that I'm a guy. In college actually. A lot of people seem to think this affects (even defines) by perspective. I defer to the greater sagacity of the masses, and so inform you so you can take it into account.

 

Jasmine...this posting doesn't give me much fodder to work with. And I do love to sit down and write a really meaty reply to postings that seem interesting to me. For whatever reason, yours (and Holly's response) caught my attention. Karma. Kismet. Kolors. Whatever it was.

 

Of your three "requirements" for your target guy, let me look at each. "Nice." Well, I'd say that most of the guys I know are not "nice." I don't even know if I'm nice. So I'd say that the propsective guy looking at that adjective would find himself in trouble already...thinking, am I really the same kind of nice as Jasmine wants?

 

Sweet. That one's definitely better, in the sense that can understand what you mean better. I don't think I'm sweet, but I know several guys who I'd definitely say are sweet. So our hypothetical guy could say to himself, yeah I'm a sweet guy, or no, I'm not a sweet guy. So this one's a good requirement.

 

Knows how to treat a girl. Well, this one is pretty vague again. I know how to "treat a girl." But do I know how to treat *you*? As an individual? I know nothing about you, so I could scarcely answer that question. So once more, I'm (the hypothetical guy, that is) left wondering if I'd really satisfy what you want.

 

On the other hand, perhaps merely the people that reply to your posting will be a filter enough for you to only get guys that you want. In other words, the only guys who will bother replying aree guys who are plausibly nice and/or sweet. As for knowing how to treat you, that would (I suppose) have to wait until the guy got to know you.

 

Alright. I've satisfied my deep-down desire to investigate your posting to the fullest. The length of this one was really pretty pointless, but I suppose that was apparent from the beginning. If you'ree reading this, Jasmine (or Holly), my only suggestion is try to be a little more specific about who you want...almost anyone can fit "nice," "sweet," and "knows how to treat a girl." Even *I* do.
