What do you look for in a guy?
Tolerance. It's about being with someone who can tolerate my interests.
Which are?
Star Wars, N64, stuff like that.
What really turns you off?
I write a lot, so a guy who doesn't read is pointless to me.
How do you let guys know you're interested in them?
Shock value. Once you get someone's attention and catch them off-guard, they're at their most vulnerable.
What's happening in your romantic life right now?
Well, I'm with someone, but we're breaking up.
The guy's no good for you?
No, he's the best guy I've ever met in my life, and I totally support whatever he needs to do. He just doesn't have enough time for a serious relationship.
Are you gonna try to find another guy?
No, I'm not interested in dating.
Where are you from?
I'm from California — Orange County — and I moved across the country two years ago to live here. Philadelphia is right underneath Orange County on Craigslist, so I made a post and someone responded, and I came out here.
That is fearless.
It was kind of scary, but amazing. I'll stay in Philly for another year. Then, I dunno.

What do you do, Josh?
I'm an AV guy. I work with some pretty geeky people, but they're all very cool.
So I don't gather your job gets you laid.
No, not at all.
Then how do you get laid?
I try confessing my love, but that doesn't always work. Usually I get a "fuck off!" I've tried writing a song, but that definitely doesn't work. Flowers don't work. But foot massages do work. But then I'm always going in for the foot massage, and I get "are you a creep?"
What attracts you to a woman?
I'm attracted to necks. And a certain intensity in the eyes.
What do you do to let a girl know you're into her?
Smile.
Michelle, 20
What do you do?
I'm a student of multimedia. I'm into motion design and interactivity.
Sex toys?
No! But it's art, so I guess anything is possible.
What do you like in a guy?
Pretty eyes. Blue, nice eyes. I'm really into hands too. They're a really interesting part of the body.
So if you saw your ideal gentleman with fine eyes and nice hands, how would you approach him?
I don't know what I would do...
So you just let him slip away?
Guys just come to me. I'm magnetic in a way. I think it's because I look weird and my hair is too big.
What's the most romantic thing a guy could do for you?
Let's say I mention something, and he remembers it, and does something sweet. Like if I said I really wanted to go see a show in a few months, and the day tickets came on sale he bought us a pair. It shows that he cares.
Guys can be nice like that.
Yes. But sometimes signals get crossed, considering men and women communicate on totally different levels. You have to practice and put the work in. You're always learning something, even after a long time.
