Someone I am seeing has asked me this and I know she doesn't want to hear the normal bs. I was thinking about my own reasons but was curious what you guys like to hear?

It's great to hear that he thinks I'm:

pretty
intelligent
fun, interesting and easy to talk to
positive
nice
kind
sexy
supportive/encouraging
loving

But I'm happy to hear whatever his reasons may be.

The normal bs is when someone tells them what they think they want to hear. Your list should be your list for her...nothing more or less. What do you like? Do you like the way she gets into bed and latches onto you, taking in your heat...do you like the way she spirals maple syrup over her home made waffles? I always had success giving very specific reasons...anyone can toss out 5-10 adjectives

This. I know I would be extremely pleased if my man could put into words specific things he likes about me. E.g. I once dated a guy who sang and played the piano for me, to a song that he knew i would love. It just showed that he had really listened to what I had been saying. I still smile when I think about it.

If the normal bs is what you like about her then it's not bs.

Also, I would never, ever ask that question. It screams insecurity.

Honestly, I like to hear because I'm attractive. Also because I'm intelligent and am similar to the person I like (have similar interests) and that I have the same faith, and that I'm eccentric (I'm thinking about my fiancé and what he said to me).

BBM~~ And Yep..and most normal girls/young women should recognize it..but then again..Desperate females may fall for the talk they hear....and unfortunately many may not realize it's a "Snow Job"....

While most here may have many wonderful relationships with their hubby or GF or "Soul Mate"...I think really the bottomline is "Proof" is in the pudding...walk the talk..then I should add "Talk is cheap"..Actions speak louder than words...

Growing up I didn't "Trust anybody"...that they had to earn my trust..but I didn't throw out anybody who seemed to be sincere...But I of course made some error's in my youth..BUT I did learn fairly early.."Talk is Cheap"..Words have consequences..Whether it's a lie or manipulative behaviour...NOPE....GONE..tho would not stop communications....however..boundaries were established!! Thus even today..I still have wonderful friendships with past relationships..

It's all about communication..Honesty is something that must be proven..But ability to express oneself to a person is simply special..UNLESS and of course they are complete A$$H0les!! LOL Then it's flush time

He likes the way I handled, did, or said something, because it tells him I'm [insert positive character trait here].

Good-looking, built, all of that superficial stuff doesn't impress me much. Maybe if we were going somewhere and I got my hair done and bought a new outfit, it would be nice to hear him say it looks nice on me, just as an acknowledgment of the effort. But for the most part, I'm about the character.

They just want to hear anything that boosts their ego. Whether or not they are interested in the guy, they still want to hear how great he thinks they are.
