View Full Version : Ten Minutes to Impress....

Let's say you had an admirer. Even though you may be happily in a relationship, if they had ten minutes to try and impress you, what would they have to do to make you think twice about them?

For my point of view, he would have to be confident, intelligent and witty - so he'd have to say something in those ten minutes that was apropos to the situation we were in that was well observed and funny! But he'd also have to demonstrate that he'd got a superior intellect and perception to have noticed whatever it was in the first place.

There would also have to be good eye contact and he'd have to be clean and well presented.

Offering to buy me dinner would help too! :laugh:

My ex husband used to boast that he had never read a book and he was tone deaf, so when I got divorced I said that I would only look twice at a bloke if he was doing the Telegraph Crossword and humming the Intermezzo from Cavaleria Rusticana - lol.

I settled for a bloke who was doing the Daily Mirror Crossword and humming Crystal Chandaliers :wacko:

well to really sweep me off my feet, he would have to come striding gallantly towards me, wearing a white sailor suit and that song has to be playing, you know the one - god lift us up where we belong one. u know, officer and a gentleman style!

well like you Ceri - being confident and funny - but not cocky - are plus points. So is a good set of teeth and clean short finger nails....and most importantly must laugh at my jokes!

I was chatting to a bloke the other day he had all the above points, but what let him down at the end was that he said he owned a shop (still good, I do like 'em with money and aspirations) but then it turned out to be a collectable teddybears and dolls accesories shop ..... which was a big big turn off for me!

He would have to make me laugh, be confident and not cocky, be reasonable to look at, tall, not to skinny or plump, have no facial hair and be clean (nails, hair,teeth etc).

I like to see a keen brain behind the eyes, an interest in the psychological/philosophical, an infectious laugh and an easy intelligient wit and good at banter - fart gags will not impress. Looks wise, he'd need to be taller than me (not hard that one!) clean and smart casual in style.

Like the rest of you, it would have to be someone confident, but not cocky, shares my same sense of humour and makes me laugh, I like dark hair and blue eyes and i have a bit of a thing for hands and forearms.......

biggest turn off is loads of heavy gold jewellry on men :sick: ...........tasteful yes, pimp like bling no.....I prefer platinum/silver :p

I also have a bit of a thing for henry lloyd jeans - i dont like them - it makes me think chav..................hope no one on here wears them :oops:

Demonstrate kindness, generosity and honesty. If someone makes an impression on me in 10 mins with these qualities, I will attach myself like leech...a bonus is laughter.

Well, she'd have to have her own vibrator, but if the women on the MB are anything to go by that doesn't narrow the field down at all!

Now this is interesting because I have two different options which are thus:

The quick shag affair which I know has no future but would be fun:- Someone in a maintenance/servicing type job who I immediately feel I have control over. Not fussed about hair or eye colour, but would be stocky, tall
and have an infectious grin, probably of lesser intelligence and would think I was the bee's knee's. Would enjoy a fling understanding that there would be no future, just extremely greatfull.

The serious keel me over type: -
In a senior position to me. I would have to feel in awe and slightly empowered. He would be more intelligent than me and more wordly wise. I have no specific look....just clean and nicely (within the realms of modern day fashion without being to exteme) dressed. But most of all he would have to make me laugh. Immediate put offs would be bad teeth and skin, obesity, too thinity, facial peircings and shortness.

Ooh interesting again...never put the above into such a clear cut way.

Difficult one this, although like Queenie I do also have a thang about forearms,:)

He would have to have a wicked sense of humour, be intelligent, sensitive, tactile, happy go lucky, have clean teeth, lots of hair, sparkly eyes, gorgeous smile and an interest in al-fresco sex..tantric leanings would be an advantage too. ;)

Yep, that would do for starters :)

Oh, no baggy jeans or being really gangly, or wearing Y fronts, or having a naff taste in music.

He'd have to completely ignore me, even when I give him the eye. He would have to show no interest whatsoever and pay attention to everybody else, thrilling all those around him with his wit, charm and humour.

My hubby didn't even look twice at me the first time I met him!! It kept me wanting more. He never played into my flirtatous comments or looks... I couldn't get enough of him!!

Well, she'd have to have her own vibrator, but if the women on the MB are anything to go by that doesn't narrow the field down at all!I was going to say do men actually own vibrators, but then I remember the guy I used to clean for had a whole draw full of them. he was single too. And the reason I knew he had these things is cos I used to put his socks in that draw.
Would you want to go out with a man who owned vibrators? Assuming he doesn't use them on himself you wouldn't know where they had been. :sick:
And if he did use them on himself you would know where they had been.

Awwwww darnit Claire. You mean some of those gorgeous men who have acted like I wasn't even in the room could secretly have been lusting after me? Well I certainly did get my wires crossed. I'm upset now thinking of all those missed opportunities. :wink2:

It's probably more true than you think... As I said, my husband didn't appear to even notice I was in the room the first time I saw him. I had to go up to somebody he was speaking to that I knew and make conversation with them to get a better look at him. He didn't blink an eyelid, I didn't see him even looking in my direction! All along he says he fancied me.

Only one, I'm afraid. I've been hit many times with the ugly stick :bangin: so you could say I'm a bit rough.

But I'm happy in my skin. :)
