There is more to life than just a pretty face. When I meet someone I want to walk away with a great first impression whether they remember my sassiness, the joke that I cracked or my confidence. I don’t want to walk away with them just thinking “Woah, she’s hot!” like a typical guy would. Let’s be realistic, I am not the prettiest girl out there (nor do I try to be), but I am speaking on behalf of all women that have more than just a pretty face or nice tight booty.
I would like to start off by saying that when you get to know someone you like, the first few dates are exhilarating and you can’t get enough of each other. We’ve all been in that boat where you talk for hours getting to know every detail about each other. You wonder what their past is like, what their personality is, what type of music they listen too, etc. When all is said and done and you hit that level of comfort knowing all the details about each other a lot of the time conversations begin to dwindle. Now what? Is it them or is it you? It could be both; only boring people are easily bored.
I love when people have more depth than just the surface. That ever lasting joy that hits them when they talk about a passion. Some impressions other than just a pretty face are hard to find, but there are more traits that us women should want to be known for:
Wit
Conversations get interesting especially when you have wit. People never know what you will say next and everyone loves the person who can make the next guy laugh. It is always a pleasure to have a sense of humor and to not be serious 100% of the time. When people take things so literally its hard for you to loosen up around them. Girls with wit can be easily relatable; Especially if you could joke with her and she could joke with you without being offended.
Joyfulness
There is nothing better than when someone walks into a room and their presence lights up the entire atmosphere. I am envious of the girls who have this trait. They can smile and the whole room feels warm and their laugh or smile can bring peace to the world. She feels like a safe haven and even if you're friend zoned by her she still makes you feel great about yourself and unfortunate situation.
Being Adventurous
You will never get bored with a girl who will go out of their way to have a good time. Adventure doesn't necessarily mean pick her up at 12 in the morning and have a late night drive, but more like take her hiking, skiing or star gazing. She won't think a picnic during sunset is lame or corny, she’ll enjoy the thought you put into the time you’ll spend together.
Intelligence
Nowadays, every Joe Schmo from Idaho either thinks he is a deep philosophical physicist who can keep a conversation or is so dull that the conversation becomes a dead end. Some conversations are so unintelligent I feel like just breathing the same air as the person speaking I am losing brain cells. Some girls think it is “cute” when they act dumb. They need to be killed off. When you find a person who is intellectually stimulating and can talk about worldly events hang onto them. They are a rare breed.
Passion
Everyone will find their passion in life, and some will have more passions than one. Watch the way she lights up when she talks about her sports game, politics, or that she just landed a great opportunity that will help her with her future (shout-out to Leah Woods). Her body language and the smile on her face and the little details about what she is talking about will make her the happiest person at that very moment. She’s not bragging, she just hopes you are as excited about it as she is; and even if you are not its nice to have someone to share it with.
Creativity
The world is our own and each person interprets things differently. Creativity can be from art work, to poems, to even a way of thinking. Let her show you her creativity and you will probably never be bored.
Resilience
A girl with resilience is able to recover quickly from something that could be devastating. Everything is temporary and we accept that comes our way and learn to adapt to a situation. We cultivate self-awareness and it helps us know ourselves—like what we need, don’t need, and when we need help. We are very accepting, but we know when to pull back. The resilient ones are the independent ones who takes care of themselves.
