8. Treat old people and dogs nice.
I am not equating the two here. One time this guy I was seeing furiously elbowed me out of the way in order to get to a heavy door this little old lady holding a cane was attempting to open. I mean, the sentiment was there and it warmed my little heart despite bruising my ribcage.
Same goes for dogs (or cats, I guess, if that’s the kind of person you are). Not opening doors for them, just being kind to them.
9. They have friends.
Guys who attract humans are attractive. Guys who have nasty words to say about everyone (including their exes!) are not attractive. In fact, they are the common denominator which means they are probably the POS and not everyone they’ve ever known.
10. They have hobbies.
The hottest thing a guy can do is be passionate about doing something. This goes for chicks, too. This goes for anyone, really. If you have no hobbies and find yourself in a relationship with someone who also has no hobbies, y’all are just left with staring at each other and talking about the same garbage until you both die of boredom.
11. They pick up the check every once in a while.
Listen. I know it’s 2017, and men paying for dinner is an outdated concept, but it is 2017 and women still make (on average) .79 cents to a man’s dollar so DO. NOT. @. ME.
12. They follow through.
Life sometimes gets in the way of plans, but generally a Hot Guy is a reliable guy. Dependability is key for the success of any relationship, whether we’re talking friends, family members, or Hot Guys.
13. They’re really good hype men.
A Hot Guy inspires you to live your best life. This means hyping you up before a job interview, showing interest in your interests, and encouraging you to really go for it, whatever it happens to be in your case.
Hot Guys aren’t just good hype men for their partners. They inspire and cheer on all their loved ones, knowing success is not some sort of finite source.
14. They laugh a lot.
Hot Guys laugh a lot because they can find the humor in the mundane, the everyday, the tragic, the corny, and most importantly in themselves. People who can sit through all of Shrek, for example, without laughing, are Not Hot People even if they look like a young Val Kilmer (am I dating myself here?)
15. They aren’t stingy.
I don’t just mean with money, but generally people who are stingy with their money are also stingy in a bunch of other ways— With their emotions, their time, their joy, their humor, their weed, their love. Hot Guys come through for a friend who needs help moving or a sibling who needs a ride home from the bar.
