Cheryl champagne or prune juice:)

[Mark33]

Cheryl,
   First off,
     Welcome to the board. It's always nice to have a sincere woman's point of view. I believe women are basically the same wherever they are from given the same oppurtunities. Charecter is what sets her apart.
     Question for you and any of the ladies on this list. I was watching an old 30's or 40's movie last night. One particular man was considered a Romeo, and had  the power to make the ladies swoon. When onother man  asked a woman what this guy had that they did not,she answered "some men make women think of champagne,and some men make her think of prune juice"
    I guess it makes sense. What kind of personality,grooming,appearance,attitude can make a man the kind that makes a lady think of champagne rather than prune juice?
  I know all women say he has to have a great personality, but it's more than that.You stated you found alot of very sexy latin men that had interest in you. But the machismo kept you away. What made them sexy to you or other foreign women? Is the attitude (besides the machismo) different, more confident than American men?
        Thank you,
            Mark

Well... I don't know what other woman look for, so I will share what interests ME.

Great personality... look... sense of humor etc. etc. etc Well, well... I know that what my other girlfriends like,(knowing this board, I'll clear up any doubt on this... NOT in "different" way.  Only as a friend !!! So move on) or think is funny (humor) in a man, turns me off.

Its all about matching the right types together, and that CAN also suggest that opposites attract.  Now... alot of the men from the states I went out with ware alot of jeans/t-shirt etc.  That's fine...I love jeans... and I love how men fill them out nicely.  HOWEVER, when the shirt is wrinkled, and been through the "twice-over smell treatment" and the jeans are thrown on with no belt... etc it does not have that "sexy-appeal" to them.  When the man has his hair nice, clean cut, smells nice (important-and a turn-on), the jeans are nice, the shirt is unwrinkled.  A well dressed guy is very attractive.  That doesn't mean the outfit has to cost hundreds!!!! Dressed nice is very nice!!!

A man that is open to new ideas.... won't change his ideas, but able to respect and understand her's is very nice.  And listens...!!! not just leaving the tape recorder running.... jeje A man that opens the door, moves over on the street side when there are loud noises in a protective manner, gives little presents of thought continually (which means picking up a flower from a tree passing, or folding a box out of paper and putting in a chocolate kiss....things that take thought but not always money) makes a lady think she means something special.  When a man makes me feel that way... there's a spark.  Now a spark doesn't always start a forest fire.... sometimes it takes many.

Many men think that planning a dinner and movie is creative.  Going beyond shows effort... interest... personality etc.  (now does this always work??? no. but with the right one yes.)  Like everyone, I want to feel that somehow I am different, unique, a jewel to someone. Don't get too discouraged guys when you are a knight and the wrong woman treats you like your invisible.  They aren't worth your efforts then.

Latin men aren't shy about giving attention, and say their feelings over and over and over again very openly.  Its a little intimidating at first, but better than never hearing it.  They also show it very much, though they are like 'gunho' the first couple of months, and then cool off a bit.  They seem more confident than alot of the American men I've dated.  Keep in mind.. a nice looking man that walks into a room confident (not stuck-up) looks, and feels more confident, and radiates.  I'll dance with him before I would the gorgeous shy, unconfident or stuck up one.

Ok this is like a novel.... so I'm stopping.... any specific questions???

You've explained things very well. I like the fact you stressed how important grooming(hair,clothes,perfume) and confidence are. I think if most men understand that, they should have no trouble with women whatsoever.
I have a good friend who is a real nice guy. He is getting bitter because he has trouble finding a girlfriend. This guy is so hairy he looks like he is wearing a fur coat, front and back. I adviced him to get laser surgery or wax or something. But he will not. Yet he spends tons of money on cars and suits. He is also very picky if a lady has a slightly big bottom, or God forbid a bit of razor stubble
 .Yet, he thinks women are not concerned about a man's appearance just his money. I think a sincere woman wants to be proud of everything about her man.His success, his confidence,and his pride in appearance.
  thank you for being so patient with this board. You are truly a lady. Good luck in finding the right man for you.
