SquareWheel Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I've always had an attraction to eccentric women. I think that kind of quirkiness makes women colorful and interesting. And I've been wondering, how many other people out there appreciate eccentricity in the opposite sex? For example... The one female friend I've ever had, many years ago, was a former army MP who was into bodybuilding, collected guns and guitars, and was a rock music fanatic who occasionally had her name changed to that of her current favorite rock star. (When I met her, she'd had 5 names that I know of.) She was a cabinet maker who could build beautiful furniture. Maybe it's because I've had such a sheltered life myself; maybe I just deeply want to break out and experience life outside the lines. I also think that being a shy and innocent guy with perhaps even a slightly submissive streak is the reason I'm so attracted to extroverted, aggressive, eccentric, and even somewhat dangerous women. Do any other guys or girls out there feel this way, or am I the only one? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogheadma Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Right there with you. I've never dated a girl that I've considered "average" or "normal". I attribute that to the fact that I'm a pretty unique person myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenan Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I appreciate individualism & strength of character. If those run counter to convention and get labeled as eccentric, then sure. I draw the line at voting republican, though. That's too wacky even for me. ;-) KIDDING!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real2 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I myself am the male version of your definition. Certain girls like my quirk, while some dont. In general, Im very easy to get around with, making friends left and right, but there are girls that find it annoying sometimes. Hit or miss; 9-1 Except strangely I don't enjoy the company of eccentric women. Strange. Or maybe I havent met the right eccentric girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dako Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I'm with you, man. I love intelligent, quirky, creative artistic women without makeup or conformity that love nature, random magic events and coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HyruleGuardian Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I do. I don't go for the "normal" girls, or whatever you want to call them. I like unique girls that stand out from the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquareWheel Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Several years ago, I was shopping in a flea market in Atlanta and noticed a pretty girl standing beside me, looking at a display of exotic-looking knives. From the questions she was asking, I could tell she knew her way around them. Suddenly she turned to me and pointed out some of those R-rated playing cards on display, and being the shy, slightly awkward guy that I am, I totally flubbed the chance to chat with her. My ICQ friends all say she was openly flirting with me. I'm still kicking myself to this day. I probably will for the rest of my life. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I mean, a girl who's into knives and flirts so brazenly with strange guys in flea markets... could she possibly be any more perfect?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dako Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 what? Like a homeless man pulling a rabbit out of his shopping cart? Yes, indeed. Or maybe a sunset that makes floating spiderweb threads glow in the air, or perhaps the green flash, or barring that, an owl that perches near us at night and hoots mournfully.

HellFrost666 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Average/normal = boring in my opinion. What really makes a person eccentric? It is sad that our society is so narrowminded that somone who does not conform to the normal is given a label with such negative conotations...

charley Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Depends on how much and in what ways. I have to consider it on a case by case basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin T Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I'm extremely odd. I guess you could say "eccentric..." I tend to be attracted to "normal" people, myself. But they don't go for oddballs. lol I'm weird enough for two people, plus I just don't find weirdness desirable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SexyRex Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Eccentric women are intoxicating creatures. A woman who's original, intelligent, and sexy, is the very woman of my dreams!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baby Carrot Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Well... What is "normal" and what is "eccentric" or "weird" in the first place? We all have oddities, and yet we all are "average" human beings that eat, sleep, breath and crap. Who can really say what´s eccentric and what´s average? Like beauty, is all in the eye of the beholder. IMO, each person has an unique combination of qualities, that might be eccentric for some people and average for some others.

AnotherBrokenDoll Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Well i am just plain weird lol. I love being crazy and i love making people laugh... But generally its at me not with me lol. I guess for me it depends on the person. I've fallen for shy people and outgoing people it just depends. But i like something different. I don't want someone who is just like everyone else. Not that anyone really is but you get my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelesteSeven Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I've been labeled as "eccentric". Many of my friends have said so, and boyfriends too. The one guy I dated for about 2 years or so HATED it. He wanted me to be just like every other 20 year old college girl on campus... who watches "Next", "Desperate Housewives" and listens to The Fray. Ha! Not that there's anything wrong with the above listed, but it just isn't me You'll find me listening to Def Leppard or Don Henley or some German music... and my favorite show of all time? M*A*S*H. But it isn't just the media items; it's my many other characteristics, all squished up into the little person that is me. But now I'm attracted to eccentric men (always have been) who are interested in eccentric women. god have mercy on our poor children! they'll grow up so weird.

Caterina Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 There are different types of eccentricities. I like the eccentric types who are kind of cute in a quirky way that isn't overly illogical. I don't like the annoying eccentric types who aren't in touch with rationalism or reality. I like male versions of what Dako looks for in women. Basically I like fun-loving eccentric types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
