Anonymous said: Hi! What do you think the Outsiders(including Tim & Curly) ideal girl would be like personality-wise and/or looks-wise
(a/n: heya lovely! iām just letting you know that i wasnāt comfortable writing about the ideal looks they went for as iāve seen a lot of these types of imagines posted and most of them are blonde haired, blue eyed white girls. i really want to begin ensuring that my writing is inclusive to as many people as i can, and i also donāt think the boys would be too knit-picky on their partners looks. so, iāve mainly focused on the āidealā personalities instead, which btw are just my own opinions on how i view the characters, as well! - admin katšā£)
DISCLAIMER:Ā i would like to give an ENORMOUS shoutout to @the-outsiders-blogg for their help in creating this piece! they helped me come up with some initialĀ ideas (which i used) for what each of the boys would find ideal in a partner personality wise, as well as editing this piece and helping me add some new parts in. this is especially the case for steve, whom i find the most challenging to write for! but now i feel like i have a better grip on his character. so thank you so much for all of your help hun! also you all need to follow them bc their imagines, gifs and memes are just the most spectacular!Ā ā¤

The Gang + The Shepard Brothers Ideal Types Personality Wise Preferences:
Ā° I think that itās a no brainer that Darry would date someone whoās got a more mature outlook on life and mindset in general. He doesnāt really have time or energy to invest into a relationship with someone whoās going to throw tantrums and storm out like a child. Darry has two kid brothers and a gang of friends who are pros at that, he needs someone who can keep their cool.
Ā° Heās also going to be looking for someone who is much more grounding and soothing since heās stressed 25/7 from raising two kid brothers, paying the bills on time and having his buddies crash at his house almost everyday.
Ā° I believe as well that Darry would be looking for a more stable relationship, particularly one thatās long term. Darry doesnāt have the time to invest in something short term that doesnāt go anywhere. If heās going to be with someone, heās going to be very serious about it.
Ā° He needs someone whoās good at communicating. Sometimes he holds in all of his emotions until they explode out messily. He needs someone who can communicate their points of views in an adult-like fashion. Also, by you speaking about your emotions it tends to open the door a crack to allow him to open up emotionally to you also, which is initially quite challenging for Darrel to do.
Ā° Darry will need to be with someone who isnāt too sensitive. In his eyes thereās nothing wrong with sensitivity, itās just that his words can come out rather brashly, especially when heās high with emotion and often heāll say things in the heat of the moment that he truly did not mean. So in other words, he needs to be with a partner that wonāt take what he says to heart and will take things with a pinch of salt.
Ā° With all of the listening and diligent advice giving that this boy hands out, heās going to need a significant other that can also do the same for him. I mean, the poor boy is only a human, he has troubles, insecurities, fears, worries, hopes and dreams just like the rest of us. Heāll also need them to be a bit patient with him because heāll often feel guilty when he comes to you with his issues, it makes him feel weak. So all in all, he is looking for a partner in which he can develop a strong emotional connection to.
Ā° Sodapop is definitely an adventurous and spontaneous young man and is eager to find a partner that is up to having fun with him, at least some of the time. This could be when you sit on his lap during a drag race, attending rodeos with him, going to parties and having a blast of a time by dancing the night away, the list goes on! As long as youāre up to doing some fun things with him, heās down to be with you.
Ā° Introversion, ambiversion or extroversion really doesnāt matter to Sodapop. He will love his partner to their very core, warts and all! As long as youāre a good person, Sodapop doesnāt really care. Heās understanding of everybody and will ensure that youāre comfortable no matter what when youāre dating him.Ā
Ā° Obviously heās going to want to be with someone whoās both trustworthy and honest, for obvious reasons regarding his ex Sandy. Thereās also going to have to be some patience coming from your part. I mean, heās over her now, but the insecurity of someone breaking his heart again like she did is a pretty intense fear of his. But thatās okay, because you naturally help soothe that insecurity of his: When you say you only have eyes for this dreamy guy, you mean it!
Ā° Ponyboy would definitely lean towards being with someone that is more in touch with their femininity and their sensitive qualities. This is surely due to the fact that he too is quite sensitive. He wants to share sunrises and sunsets, along with his thoughts of movies and books with his partner, since he canāt exactly share that much with anyone else in the gang.
Ā° Ponyboy also loves creativity and sports, so heās going to look for someone with either a passion for creativity or sports, maybe even science. He enjoys practicing your sport with him and bouncing creative ideas off of you. You two would make the perfect study partners!
Ā° Heās also going to look for someone whoās a good listener because he has a lot of intense thoughts swirling around in his noggin most of the time. Heād be super grateful for it and shyly thank you, returning the favor tenfold. Pony believes in making sure that what he receives he puts out back to you just as handsomely.
Ā° Ponyboy is definitely an introvert and thatās awesome! I feel that heād be down to be in a relationship with another introvert, but heās also going to need someone that will bring him out of his shell a little. Heās going to be with someone that he feels he can trust and fully relax around, which is why heās able to share his interests and thoughts with you so fluently. So, regardless, his emotional connection to you needs to be strong in order for him to speak more and open up.
Ā° Johnny has a whole host of issues mentally and emotionally, so itās incredibly important that he is with a significant other that displays qualities of compassion, patience and support. Having someone he can go to is an important step in him allowing his walls to slowly break down. If heās talking to you without having to be forced to, you know that heās comfortable around you.
Ā° Again, Johnny is going to need someone who is an excellent listener. It may take some time for him to open up to you, but when he does heās honest. And you best believe that heās incredibly grateful to have you. Just like Ponyboy and Sodapop, heāll also listen to you. He believes that a relationship is a two way street as well.
Ā° Johnny is pretty introverted and shy, thereās no doubt about that. I personally feel that he would be with someone whoās much more independent and enjoys making the decisions in general. Itās going to take some time for him to be comfortable enough to communicate what he wants and why. But your patience comes in handy and eventually heāll tell you he wants to go see a new movie at the drive-in, etc. Yet initially heās going to let you make most of the decisions.
Ā° Like Ponyboy, heās definitely ecstatic to be around another introvert, vibing off of each other would be amazing for him. Silences wouldnāt be awkward and things would just be over all chill. But, I still believe that Johnny needs a partner who can get him to relax in any situation and bring his feisty nature out a little more, since itās definitely there and weāve all seen it! The gang find it endearing that Johnny speaks more when youāre around, it makes them happy to see how joyful he is, because that beating from those Socās had really left him jumping at the sight of his own shadow. Poor baby!
Ā° Dallas Winston is going to be into someone who is more care-free. Being with someone thatās constantly anxious leaves him feeling on edge and he wants to feel on top of the world, all round relaxed. Especially when it comes to respecting his boundaries. The whole idea of someone attempting to change who he is makes it difficult for him to take them seriously as a partner. Heās Dallas Winston, heās going to do what he wants!
Ā° Like Sodapop, Dallas is looking to be with someone who likes to have fun and bend the rules. Dally is a rule breaker himself, often going out of his way to break the law. Heās not asking for his partner to start shoplifting or pulling crazy stunts like he does, but even minor things will get his adrenaline pumping. Although, heās not opposed to dating a goody two shoes either!
Ā° In Dallyās eyes, he doesnāt care whether youāre a tomboy, a girly girl or somewhere in between! He picked you because he loves your style and the person that you are, despite how mushy that sounds. Heās never going to admit it though. Maybe heāll tease you endearingly about it, but thatās about it. Thereās something about you that caught Dallyās eye and he knew he just had to have you all to himself.
Ā° Dallas often prefers girls who are confident, headstrong and know what they want, even if they cuss him out in the process. Just take Sherri Valance for an example! She was having none of his crap and her feisty nature really sparked interest in him. So there has to be something personality-wise from you that he also feels he connects to. However, he also has no issue with being with someone whoās quieter and less confident, Dallas is going to make you feel like the luckiest and most breathtaking girl in the world when youāre with him. His louder nature will coax you to relax over time and youāll start to blossom a little in confidence. Heās not looking to change you, just to get you to relax, because he finds you swell just the way that you are!
Ā° In Steveās books, he prefers individuals with a more masculine energy, regardless of whether theyāre male or female. Heās not opposed to being with someone with a more feminine energy to them. Itās just that he really wants to be able to share his passion for both automobiles and sports with his partner. Heās kind of a dork like that.
Ā° This teenage boy is most likely going to need someone whoās able to calm his highly intense energy down. Heās in a constant state of tension, itching to let out his emotions in often brutal ways such as fighting or drag racing. Heās hyperactive and finds it a challenge in itself to soothe that high energy heās feeling most of the time. So someone whoās more grounding and calming is a sure way to help him unwind. Obviously, youāre not looking to change him because thatās not your job! Itās just that your aura tends to level out the high emotions that pulsate throughout his entire being at full throttle.
Ā° Yet also, itās very important for Steve to have a partner that he can also have fun with. Much like Soda, he enjoys participating in rodeos, drag races, attending parties, etc. Doing fun activities with his significant other helps them to bond with one another and creates particularly fond memories, this is also vital because it makes him want to be around his partner more. Family and home life is genuinely a drag for Steve, which is why he spends a lot of his time at the Curtis house. To have a partner that will also do spontaneous activities with him, it helps him move beyond his broken family life, and into a space where he can really flourish as a person.
Ā° Once again, this young man will need someone whoās good at listening to him. Heās got a lot of daddy issues, considering he fights on nearly a daily basis with his father, getting kicked out too! This obviously creates a lot of anger inside him, which is why heās so smart mouthed and quick to jump the gun and invest in a fist brawl, instead of talking things out with someone or letting it go. He feels that he needs to be tough in order for people to not only take him seriously, but also not to step on him. His father steps on him and his emotions too much which has erected a sturdy wall that he letās few people through. Itās like his defense mechanism.
Ā° This boy is going to love someone who smiles brightly at him. Itās cheesy I know, but thereās nothing better on this planet than his partner being happy. When you smile, all of his worries dissolve!
Ā° Itās a no brainer that Two-bit will flock to blondes. Theyāre his favorite! But what really makes him a sucker for someone is their ability to laugh right along with him. Yes, even at his crummy puns and terrible jokes! The sound of your laugh is genuine music to his ears, heād do anything and everything to hear it a thousand times a day. The only time he enjoys you crying is when youāre crying of laughter.
Ā° This boy is a bundle of the finest chaotic energyā¢ known to man, so he too will need someone more grounded to keep him down on the ground. Otherwise, heād be on Mars by now! His partner would definitely teach him that itās perfectly okay to feel other emotions that arenāt joy and excitement, and that itās equally just as important to face those feelings.
Ā° He strives to be with someone who is passionate about something. Anything really! He may not be the brainiest out of the bunch, but heāll listen to you for hours on your passions. It makes him grin silly and honestly, he likes to at least attempt to learn some things about your interests. For him, a big passion of his is Mickey Mouse! Heāll talk to you about it for hours whilst he watches the television show with you.
Ā° Two-bit also values honesty in relationships. Yes, heās a grade A liar, but he feels crummy when he lies to his partner or is lied to by his partner. So he always does his utmost finest to ensure that heās being as honest as possible. This is especially the case when a joke of his upsets you in any way, shape or form. If it goes too far then he wants to know. He can be a bit scatterbrained and may forget, but he wants you to be comfortable with and around him. He wonāt settle for anything less.
Ā° Funnily enough, I believe that he would go for someone a lot softer than him since he likes the contrast. Heās all about that opposites attract trope, even sometimes his own gang have to bat their eyelids to make sure they werenāt imagining who they were seeing with their gang leader. They donāt necessarily have to be a goody-goody, just not as harsh as he is. It makes him hopeful in the world when he can bag someone kinder than him.
Ā° Nevertheless, Tim wants to be with someone who has a mind of their own as well as having the capability to stand up for themselves. He loves protecting them, but he also wants to breathe easy when heās not around you, comforted silently in the fact that you can handle your own. I mean, itās a turn on for him when his partner can run their mouth, despite looking innocent. Like hands down, itāll probably get him in the mood asap!
Ā° Although Tim isnāt sold on expressing many emotions, heās aware that theyāre there, bubbling under the surface. So, Tim will definitely be with someone that he feels he is able to emotionally connect with. He doesnāt even have to vocalize this, itās just something that he knows inside of his head and can feel when heās around the person. It means that youāve both got a strong connection together, which heās not really got with many people in his life, considering how brutal his home-life really is.
Ā° He also wants to be with someone who is trustworthy and honest. Tim doesnāt have the time to waste on two-timers. Usually when he settles into a relationship, itās for the long term.
Ā° Itās canon that Curly Shepard isnāt the smartest kid out there in the world, so he probably seeks out someone who sees past that and can really get him as the person that genuinely cares deeply about him and wishes to get to know him. Because Curly is actually quite fun to be around, heās always got some sort of idea to kill the time!
Ā° In all honesty, Curlyās going to be most attracted to an individual that will be prepared to cause at least a little bit of trouble with him. Youāre usually the one who ensures that you both donāt get caught. The whole experience is such a rush that youāre both grinning widely at each other afterwards.
Ā° Heās most likely going to go for someone more extroverted or at least someone who is an ambivert as Curly would have a challenging time when it comes down to understanding someone whoās more introverted and shy. Itās not to say he wouldnāt like them, he just will assume that theyāre quiet and withdrawn because they donāt like him, even if they do. But he definitely doesnāt think that thereās anything wrong with introverts! I mean, Ponyboy Curtis is one of his good buddies, after all.
Ā° Curly is quite spontaneous himself, enjoying it when he switches things up. He becomes bored with little effort, so he needs to keep himself busy, and what better way to do that when he can cause all sorts of trouble! You low-key do have to remind him that climbing a telephone pole again would result in another broken arm, but he does it anyway!
