Do guys find silly girls attractive?

Asked by Mandeblind (425points) April 16th, 2012 from iPhone

Let’s say the girl is very pretty. She jokes around a lot, she acts silly often and she is quite hyper. Is it “cute” or a big turn off?

Depends on the guy. Some do; most don’t.

For me, that is cute and fun at first, but then it becomes very tiring.

My son gives them a blank stare like they are a waste of human flesh, unless they happen to be witty. He appreciates witt. But if they are acting like borderline idiots, its a major turn off for him.
But then he isn’t looking for cute. He likes his women to be women. He feels women under 25 ish aren’t mature enough for him.

Lets say they make a offensive claim to the opposite side, and then says just kidding and starts laughing like a kid.

As long as she has nice tits & shuts the fuck up…..a lot, then yeah, okay in small doses.

I think many guys find it ok if the girl is a hot ticket in every other way. She would be good for sex, and then eventually the guy would get tired of her. Unless he isn’t too bright himself, then they can be ditzy together. But, I am female, what do I know.

Yes, some guys do, some guys also find paraplegic girls attractive.

It’s a big world out there and everyone gets their kicks from something different than the next person in line.

If we are flirting, it’s fine. But if she can’t get serious when it’s time to do something else, that’s a problem.

A sense of humor is one thing. Silliness all the time is quite another thing and annoying. If you are doing that “just kidding” comment more than two times during conversations and laughing like a kid, it may not go over well with older guys you have talked about liking.

I wouldn’t worry about that. If someone is right for you, they’ll find whatever you do “attractive”. Better to find that person rather than wondering if a guy likes this or that.

We should all just be ourselves… that way we’ll attract the right person for us and there won’t be any surprises later. That’s a big reason couples split up anyway…

She jokes around a lot, she acts silly often

Sounds to me like an act due to an esteem issue. Acting any way other than your true self in any sort of relationship sets you up for failure. At some point the true self will come out.

Depends on the guy, depends on the type of silly (maturity level of it).

Being silly could be a sign of immaturity.

My wife is still silly and laughs a lot. She is mature and that makes the difference.

Most younger guys do not like girls that are constantly acting silly.

Not attractive.

janbb's avatar

I doubt that anyone like anyone who isn’t being their own authentic self.

FutureMemory's avatar

Sounds like it’s time to grow up a little bit :/

It depends on the guy. My SO doesn’t seem to mind it too much. :)

mangeons's avatar

It depends on the guy, and the age, and what the girl is like other than that.

I suppose not really.

Avangelo's avatar

I’ve always liked it, but then again I am a socially awkward person.

I couldn’t say personally as i’m not a guy. I tend to get a little giggly when i have a crush on someone but not to the point that it clouds who I am. I personally am not attracted to “silly” girls or guys. I prefer someone who is intelligent, confident, humorous but witty and maybe even a little sarcastic.

Neizvestnaya's avatar

Most guys tolerate silliness if the girl is “hot” but if her silliness borders on what his friends think is weird or annoying, her “hotness” will diminish.

Having a sense of humor and high energy are great qualities. Your word choices make me think that this might come across in an overly childish way (if you’re talking about yourself here.) Silly, girl, hyper, and cute are diminutive versions of words like funny, woman, energetic, and attractive. Trying too hard to act a certain way usually backfires- just be yourself.

@janbb :) What you said reminded me of a party my sister and I went too. She was older than me but shy and she knew I had no problem socializing at parties and getting mens attention. So she asked me to go with her. Her friends weren’t exactly my cup of tea but I could fake it. I felt tormented the whole evening watching her fail over and over again in trying to make a connection. I told her all she had to do was smile, listen and laugh. Which she did to the extreme. At the end of the evening on our way home, I asked her what in the hell was she doing. She said she did like I do and as I told her to do. I pointed out that I laugh, smile and listen to the guys I’m only interested in and ONLY when they say something worth laughing at or smiling about. Not like a drunken sailor on shore leave. Hitting up anything that looked my way and laughing at stuff that wasn’t even remotely funny. By the end of the evening people where asking me if my little sister should be drinking. She wasn’t drunk and she was 5 years older than me. Of course that was over 30 years ago. But I think you hit the nail on the head. Its easy to spot when someone is faking or trying too hard and that can be a huge turn off.

Hyper can be fine.

I like a bit silly early on. It helps break the ice. But I need a girl who can be serious to. If we can’t get through a real conversation without jokes, that’s a problem. But that’s not true of all guys. I know some guys who can’t get through a real conversation either and I assume they would be a good match.

For me, it’s a major turn-off. A sharp, witty sense of humour is attractive to me. Immature silliness, hyperactivity and jokes are not.
