  • Hello. My name is Emma, and in this video, I am going to teach you some key words, words

  • you can use to describe the boy you like. So imagine: You're in class, and a hot boy

  • walks in -- a hot man. Not a boy -- man. He comes in, and you think, "Wow. That's the

  • guy I love. That's the one I want." So you want to tell your friends about him. What

  • do you say? How do you describe him? Well, I have a bunch of expressions to help you

  • describe the man of your dreams or your boyfriend -- someone you're dating. How do you describe

  • the boy you like to your friends? Let's look.

  • So first of all, I have a bunch of ways to describe how men look. And these are mainly

  • positive. So if you like a guy, your friend will say, "Tell me. What is he like? Tell

  • me. What is he like?" Okay? And so you might say, "Well, he's manly", meaning -- see keyword

  • "man", yeah? So he's "manly", meaning he likes to do manly things. He likes driving cars

  • fast and watching football, and he's a strong man. He drinks beer. He's "manly". Okay? You

  • might describe a guy like that. You might say, "He's muscular", right? He has big muscles.

  • "He's muscular." Okay? Maybe you could say, "He's handsome." He's a "handsome" man, meaning

  • he looks good. His looks -- yes, he's good-looking. "He's handsome." "He's cute. There's a cute

  • boy in my class. I really like him. There's a cute man in my class. I like him." We say,

  • "He's cute." "He's hot. He's hot." When you see him, you feel your cheeks get red? That's

  • because he's hot. He's a hot man. So "hot", "cute", and "handsome" -- they all mean pretty

  • much the same thing. You can also say "sexy". At the bottom. "He's sexy." "He's a very handsome

  • man. He's sexy."

  • Okay. "Hairy." You might wonder, "'Hairy.' What does that mean"? "Well, if a man is "hairy",

  • he has a lot of hair -- maybe a lot of hair on his face, maybe his chest, hairy chest.

  • So for me, personally, hairy men, you know -- maybe you would find a hairy man very hot.

  • I put this on the list because you might say a hairy guy walked into the class and think,

  • "Wow. He's hot. He's a little hairy." But if he's hairy, he's probably manly.

  • Another expression, "lanky". "Oh, he's tall and lanky." "Lanky" is not muscular. It's

  • where the guy is sort of skinny. But he's still very handsome. "He's lanky." He's a

  • little skinny. But usually we say, "He's tall and lanky." So it's similar to "skinny".

  • Okay. What about personality? How would you describe his personality to your friends?

  • Well, you might say, "He's suave. He's suave." If a guy is "suave", it means when you go

  • to the restaurant, he will hold the door open for you. He will pay for the meal. "He's suave."

  • It means he's very good with women. He knows what women want. "He's suave." Similarly,

  • a "smooth talker". If a man is a "smooth talker", it means he's very good with what he says.

  • He knows how to wine and dine you. He knows how to make you fall in love with him. A smooth

  • taker is a guy who is very good at talking and he can get you to like him.

  • "Charming." Okay? In fairy tales, Disney movies -- if you've ever seen a Disney movie, the

  • men are always very charming. When they talk, it means you start to really like them. When

  • someone is charming you like them very quickly. "He's romantic." Okay? On your birthday, he

  • gives you flowers. He gives you chocolate. He says very nice things to you about how

  • beautiful you are. "He's romantic."

  • "He's loaded." "Loaded." What does that mean? It means he's rich. Okay? He has lots of money.

  • He's loaded. All right?

  • A "good dresser". "He's a good dresser" means his clothes look nice. He's fashionable. Similarly,

  • "well-dressed", "He's well-dressed," -- his clothes look good. He knows how to dress well.

  • "Thoughtful." "Oh, he's very thoughtful." Okay. What does this mean? It means he knows

  • how to do very nice things. If he's thoughtful, it means he thinks about you, and he does

  • nice things. So for example, maybe you had a sad day, you had a bad day, and you felt

  • very sad. If he's thoughtful, maybe he will give you flowers to make you feel happy and

  • to make you feel better. Or maybe, if he's thoughtful, if he will ask you, "What's wrong?

  • What happened?" "He's thoughtful."

  • Some guys are athletic. "Athletic" means they're good at sports. Okay. They like to play sports,

  • and they're good at sports. And usually, if you see someone who's athletic, sometimes

  • that means they'll be muscular, sometimes not.

  • I love this expression: "a mama's boy". "Mama" is -- it's probably the same in your language.

  • In most languages, it's ma" or "mama". And so yeah, you're right; it means your mom.

  • A "mama's boy" is a guy who really likes his mom and who does everything his mom says.

  • His mother cooks for him. His mother cleans for him. His mother might tell him what to

  • wear. His mother controls him. Okay? A "mama's boy", he listens to everything his mother

  • says. Some women love mama's boys. Other women don't like mama's boys. But, you know, different

  • people like different things. So you could say, "He's a mama's boy. He likes his mom.

  • He does everything his mom wants him to."

  • You might like a "bad boy". Okay? Many girls like the bad boy. The bad boy is the guy who

  • does bad things. For some reasons, sometimes, bad boys drive women crazy. When they see

  • a bad boy, they think, "Wow. He's hot. Wow. Did you see how fast he drove that car? He's

  • hot. He's a bad boy." Some women don't like bad boys. Some women -- "A bad boy. He's annoying.

  • He's not good." But maybe you like a bad boy. Maybe he comes to school, and he looks really

  • cool. Maybe the teacher wants him to do his homework, and he says, "No. I'm not doing

  • my homework." He's a bad boy.

  • You might also like a guy who's a gentleman. A "gentleman" is someone who will hold the

  • door open for you. Okay? When you go to a restaurant, they'll pull the chair so you

  • sit first. A "gentleman" is someone who is very polite. A very polite person is a gentleman.

  • You might also meet someone who's a joker. "He's a joker" means he says funny things

  • all the time. He makes you laugh. Another expression, "flirt". "A flirt." If the guy

  • is a "flirt", it means he knows how to talk to you and make you like him. Like, he will

  • -- the way he will act will be very, like, "flirty". So you can also say, "He's flirty."

  • Okay? So he makes you feel good. "He's a flirt."

  • Okay. Some other ways we might describe a guy we like. We might say, "He makes me laugh.

  • He makes me laugh. He makes me smile." We might say, if we're talking about his looks,

  • "He has killer abs." "Abs" is the part of your stomach -- you know when guys do, like,

  • crunches, they exercise, they get something like this. This is their stomach, and it's

  • just very strong, a strong stomach. Those are abs. "He has killer abs." You could also

  • say, "He has a killer smile. He has killer eyes. He has -- he's very handsome."

  • One other expression. We also call these things, "abs" -- we also call them "a six-pack" because

  • it looks like -- a "six-pack" is like cans, cans of beer. "Six-pack", it looks like abs.

  • So we say, "He has a six-pack", meaning he has a very good-looking stomach.

  • Okay. So I've given you tons of expressions to use when you talk about boys you like.

  • I hope you use some of these in your conversation, your day-to-day conversation. I want to invite
