Girls: what kind of personality do you want in a boyfriend vs. a "guy friend"?

mmhmmm Asked: Girls: what kind of personality do you want in a boyfriend vs. a "guy friend"?

I haven't had a girlfriend for 6 years (since I was 16) but I have quite a lot of female friends. In fact, I have more female friends than male friends so I've been wondering for a while now…

Do I have the sort of personality that puts me permanently in the "friend zone"?

"Sheesh, don't you ever watch porn?" (I don't, actually)
"I wouldn't normally want to live with a guy, but it's okay if it's you…"

These are the kind of things I hear from my female friends. Basically, they seem to be comfortable around me but they probably don't see me as a "guy". Compared to most guys, I'm just not that interested in sex. I want to be in a relationship for the emotional, not the physical, aspects.

I suppose I'm stable and dependable but not a charismatic alpha male. Career-wise, I'm reasonably driven and on track to entering a decent, well-paying profession but I'm certainly not among the best. I'd say I'm just an average, unexciting person whose idea of happiness is basically a loving family and a job that I enjoy and pays well enough to keep my family comfortable. Looks and physique are about average for my ethnicity.

So I'd like to hear your advice, girls: am I right in thinking that I'm just not the kind of guy that girls want for their boyfriends? Is there any hope for me? Is there something I ought to change in my personality?

Thanks so much
