Signs That Guys Consider You A ‘Cool Girlfriend’
Most men want to be with the cool girl – but what exactly does that mean? Here are some real men explaining what makes someone a cool girlfriend:
“I knew my girlfriend – now wife – was cool because she made an effort to get along with my friends and family. They all love her and she loves them. She’s also able to have a calm discussion about housework/bills/rent without it turning into an argument. She loves horror movies, drinks pints of lager, and gives me a heads-up when I’m acting like a dickhead. She’s my best friend. The highlight of my day is coming home from work to see her beautiful smiling face. Also, she was – and still is – very open minded in the sex department. 10/10 would marry again.” — [deleted]
“Do my friends like her? Yes. Is she open minded into trying things I like? Yes. Is she a classy lady in public but not so much in the bedroom? Yes. Does she love me as much as I love her? Yes.” — Tugboliass
“She has her own friends, her own interests, her own passions. She likes being together, but she also doesn’t mind being apart. You can have a close relationship with her, without her being possessive, irrational, or jealous. And she’s not your lapdog either. She calls you out on your shit too, when you deserve it.” — [deleted]
“I married the ‘cool girl’ I dated in high school. What made her ‘cool’ to me? She was interesting. We have a shared love of books and movies and TV and music, but we also have wildly differing tastes, so every time I was around her she would introduce me to something new. She freely shares her opinion and almost always has something to back it up. There’s nothing more boring than someone who hasn’t put any thought into the world around them and nothing more irksome than someone who has, but only to the extent of adopting a worldview they parrot with no substance behind it. When compared to me, she comes off as cultured and genteel and makes me feel like a rube that stumbled into the greatest relationship of my life.” — Sir_Auron
“What I love about my girlfriend is that she takes an interest in the things that I love even if she doesn’t get it or like it herself. She makes a point of asking me questions about my interests. It’s not much but it’s always nice that she goes out of her way to make an effort even if she has no interest in golf or sci-fi books and other things that aren’t in her wheelhouse. Thats why I think she’s the bees knees.” — PM_ME_YOUR_GRANDMA
“This sounds like a cop-out answer, but it is just the simple truth… Can you be yourself around her? I have dated girls in the past that I felt like I had to change myself to suit them. At the time (I was young) I didn’t really realize what was going on, but once I began dating my wife, I realized that I could gladly be who I was and she not only loved me for it, but encouraged it. She and I really clicked on this deep level. Honestly, what could be cooler than somebody that you share your desires, interests, and your unfiltered self with?” — doselan
“She made people feel important. We’d go to a party and she made time for everyone, from the quiet ones in the corner to the loudmouths at the bar. She wasn’t afraid to look like an egg even though she could dance. And she was competitive, whether it was just a card game or one on one with the great one on the basketball court, she always went for the win. Good times.” — call_of_the_while
“I’d just say a cool girlfriend is also a good friend. That’s really it.” — PutYaGunsOn
