Are Guys Really "Only After One Thing?"?
I've always wondered about this, because I've seen men who run completely on hormones and others who appear to be a little more sensitive around women. How do you know when guy is with you because he LIKES you, not just because he wants to get in your pants?
Thanks for answering, I appreciate it!

there is no way just to look and tell. its different with every guy. just in a sentence "all guys are dogs, some just control themselves better". by that i mean all guys "want" sex, but alot of them wont actually do it or pressure you into it. it varies widely

Sadly, this is a timeless question that women still have trouble answering. The only sure fire way of knowing that a guy is "in it for the long run," is making him wait (till marriage, or till you're in love, etc). Now, almost every guy will say "baby, I'll wait until you're ready. I can wait."
Unfortunately, many women are so touched by this "endearing" statement that they cave and end up having sex with him. Guys know this little trick, and have been using it for years to get into girls pants.
So, if you really want to know if a guy LIKES you, don't cave. Make him wait. If he really wants YOU, he won't pressure you... he'll be patient until you're ready.

In the end, yes, we are all after one thing.
Some of us have different means of getting there and some have different patience thresholds but sensitivity is just a means to an end.
I'm not saying that its not possible for a guy to be with you just because he wants to be but in the long term, if it is just you and no "that" he will eventually try to get the "that" somewhere else.

Well, there are some women who i would like to just get in there pants, but i know it wouldent work out because that would be what i was after....But sometimes you will run into a girl that you want to get to know...One that your not after 'only one thing'...To answer your question, watch his eye contact...If he is constantly looking at your chest or what not instead of your eyes then that might be a hint.

Well, if you know and trust a guy, and you have strong feelings for him, then you shouldn't worry. Go with your gut instinct. Watch out for a guy who wants to go farther than a peck on the first date. Don't let anyone get in your pants after a SHORT relationship. Just be confident in who you are and what you stand for, and the guy you are looking for will respect you and your wishes. Good luck.

Guys that just want to get in your pants get better at lying about caring as they get older, unfortunately.
But I'd say the majority of guys probably actually are after more than just sex, it's just those that are after just sex are typically louder than the rest of us, so our voices get drowned out =P
If you want to know, be in a relationship for a while without putting out, if the guy likes you he'll stay with you, if he just wants in your pants he'll give up if you aren't too easy and start chasing someone else.

It's tough to say. From what I've known, most men are pigs. Plain and simple. Some are just more open about it than others. There are men out there though, myself included, who have some dignity and appreciate women for both body and mind.

Usually you can tell. If a guy is really interested in you and not your body, look to see where he is looking. If he looks you in the eye he is probably really interested in you. If he stares away at other body parts, chances are he just wants one thing.
Also younger guys tend to have no control over their hormones. Older mature guys settle down from their hormones around their mid 20s.

I think that a large amount of guys are after one thing. To know if a guy is with you because he likes you, try not putting out. If he stays, well then you know he really likes you. I think you should wait with any guy to give it up more than a few dates like the girl said above. No wonder STDs are so rampant!

It's hard to tell. I get confused sometimes, so I go for the older guys. lol. I think the older guys are more into liking women for their personalities and how fun they are. I mean, I don't know, it just seems like it from the experience. I think some guys just like having alot of girls around who appreciate them, adding to their ego and pride.

OK i have some friends that are girls, and i am strait so i think i can give you a fare answer. sadly you are right most men just wont one thing, but the good men (ones that wont to be around you and not just with you) will wait, it may seem like he is tiered of waiting at some points but if he wont's you for life he will wait. to use myself as an example my girl at this time waited for a bit more than 2 months, a week before we did do it she asked me why i was not pushing her and i told her "your body, your time, you know i wont it but for you i can wait" hope that helped.
