Guys are initially drawn to a girl’s physical beauty.

The most common look they gravitate to is that of long hair, slightly above average height at about 5’6″, and a lean figure.

Before anything else, a guy scans a girl with his eyes to see whether she has these physical features.

Only if she meets these markers does he go for her by making the next move in opening a conversation with her.

A guy who is purely looking for hookups doesn’t care all that much about a girl’s personality.

Her personality doesn’t really matter to him when he just wants to hook up with her for the night.

He is solely fixated on physical intimacy, and he could care less what her name is.

If he hooks up with her and really enjoys it, this is where the likelihood he gets into a casual sexual relationship with the girl is likely.

Unfortunately, a lot of girls make the mistake of thinking that once they start having sex with a guy, he will come to like them and take them seriously as someone with the potential to be a future girlfriend.

This couldn’t be further from the truth.

Once you become the girl he hooks up with, it is next to impossible for him to ever look at you in a different light.

Guys usually put girls they are attracted to in one of two categories: one that he uses for sexual hookups and one that he considers long-term relationship material.

It isn’t hard to know which category you fall in with a guy.

A guy who only cares about a hookup won’t court you by taking you out on proper dates week after week or engage in long meaningful conversations with you in-between those dates.

He is quick to attempt to get you to sleep with him, whether it be at his place or yours.

A guy who wants a committed long-term relationship courts you properly by taking you out on dates and getting to know you deeply through long, meaningful, and consistent conversations in-between dates.

To be someone he considers long-term girlfriend material, he typically looks for the kind of qualities he deems substantive.

A girlfriend is someone he will be spending a significant amount of time with.

This means she has to have good conversational skills.

Someone easy to talk to.

If it feels like pulling teeth whenever he is talking to you, he will quiver at the thought of spending years with someone this dull.

Having common interests is an additional plus.

You don’t have to have everything in common, but enough to relate to each other so as to develop an emotional connection.

Along with adding a vibrancy to conversation, common interests provide physical activities you can both participate in and mutually enjoy.

These experiences create a further emotional bond.

Not to mention, common interests make it that much easier for you to connect with his friends, several of whom would share similar interests to his.

As wonderful as having common interests makes him feel about you, loyalty makes him feel that much better.

He wants to know that you are someone who is trustworthy and unlikely to cheat on him.

Knowing you don’t have a history of cheating on your previous boyfriends is a major plus for him.

Guys are territorial and prideful.

He never wants to be embarrassed as the one who was cheated on by a disloyal girlfriend.

There isn’t all that much else that is as emasculating as being the butt of laughter by members of his community, thanks to the rumors of a disloyal girlfriend.

When he is physically intimate with his girlfriend, he wants the reassurance of knowing that he is the only one she is sleeping with.

This makes him all the more willing to do everything in his power to make her happy through protecting and providing for her.
