You might be the patient type who likes to let a guy’s idiosyncrasies and quirks reveal themselves over time: or you might be the curious type who wants as much information on a guy ASAP! If you’re the latter, here are 14 interesting ways to analyze a man.

His choice of exercise
Does he join season sports teams that only meet on weekends? Or is he part of a group that plays basketball almost every night? Or is he a jogger? Or maybe a swimmer? If he just plays a sport once a week with friends, health isn’t a priority—he needs it to be very convenient and fun if he’s going to do it. If he prefers to jog, he might be someone who needs alone time. If he’s a swimmer though, he might need complete isolation when he wants alone time.

How he watches sports
If he’s the type who gets actually angry when his team loses and screams and lunges at the television, he might be someone who in life lets his emotions get the best of him, and who, when upset, forgets about how he affects others around him. If he tries to temper his reaction though, he is probably very conscious of your presence, and doesn’t want to dive into an emotional frenzy that will leave you feeling isolated.

His social organization skills
If he’s the organizer, always coming up with plans and reaching out to people, he will be a fun partner because he’s curious about experiences/places/new food/people etc. but he might be hard to get alone time with. If he just waits for people to invite him to something, he could be someone who is happy with a lot of alone time. But be careful: he might cling to you as his entire social life.

Where he gets his friends
Does he get them all in one place, like at work? Or does he have friends from night classes, from childhood, from hobbies, and from the gym? If he only gets friends in one place he might have some confidence issues and needs to surround himself with people who understand him in one context only. If he has friends from all over, he’s comfortable with every side of his personality, and curious about meeting people.

Credit or cash
If a guy always uses a credit card, he might be building credit for the future, so he can buy a home or open a business. But, he might also be irresponsible and spending money he doesn’t have, so pay attention to how much he buys. If he uses cash, his financial privacy might be important to him—banks can’t track his cash purchases—and he might be very cautious about his spending, which is why he likes to remind himself he’s spending real money by using cash.

His eating schedule
Does he eat three times a day, at the same time every time? He could be very health conscious, or he might need rigid routines to feel safe. Does he sometimes forget to eat for 18 hour stretches? He might be someone who is very passionate about whatever he is working on or experiencing, so he forgets to eat!

What he eats
Does he cook at home or does he eat out a lot? Does he eat at restaurants, or fast food chains/hole in the wall spots? If he cooks at home, he is probably someone who enjoys most facets of domestic life and is proud of his home. If he eats out at restaurants often, he might see cooking as “beneath him.” If he eats at fast food chains/hole in the walls a lot, he’s probably your “typical” guy who doesn’t like to spend time cooking, but doesn’t need a big fancy meal either.

His clothing shopping habits
If he buys designer clothes, and often, you might have someone very concerned with how others think of him. If he buys designer clothes, but few items and infrequently, you’re with an old-fashioned type who values quality, but also values conserving money. If he shops at thrift stores, he’s a free spirit who’d rather save his money for experiences than things. If he shops at generic, medium-priced stores like Gap and H&M, he is probably someone who doesn’t express himself much through clothing: it’s just a way to not be naked.

Which of your clothes he likes
If he likes when you dress in bland but sexy clothing (like a one-color strapless dress) he likes a woman who is proud of her body and showcases it, but doesn’t let the clothing steal the show. If he likes you in your edgier/funkier clothes, he likes that you’re proud of your character, and like to show it through clothing. If he likes you in sweats, well, he’s just really comfortable with you and thinks you’re so beautiful he doesn’t notice what you wear.

His car
Does he wash it every week? Or is he the type who takes it in when it has two layers of dirt on it? If he washes it every week, he might be someone who feels inwardly chaotic if his possessions are messy. If he forgets for months, he could again be like the passionate guy who is too busy living that he forgets to eat. If he takes it in once a month, he could be a guy who doesn’t identify with his car and doesn’t try to show off with it, but respects the items he has spent money on.

How he drives
If he gets intense road rage, you might have an angry guy on your hands! If he zips around through traffic, he might be sort of competitive—he needs to get to his destination before everyone else does. If he tailgates and drives turbulently, again, maybe an angry guy. If he drives slowly and safely, then you have a great guy who cares about your comfort and safety! And he doesn’t feel he has to prove he’s a man by getting aggressive on the road.

How hard he parties
If it’s essential to your guy that he has a way to get trashed every weekend, he might not be very happy in his life and is looking for an escape. But if he only gets drunk when he’s with people he loves in a truly great situation, he could just be a happy guy with a healthy love for a good time. If he prefers to stay in, maybe have a drink or two on the couch, and seems content that way, he is probably someone whose work is so fulfilling and exciting, he likes quiet time on the weekends.

How long he waits to initiate sex
Does he start taking your clothes off the minute you get in his room after a date night, or does he wait until you’ve been lying in bed, talking, laughing and cuddling for a while? If he is the former, well, he’s really into you! If he’s the latter, he’s just the type of guy who is always conscious of your comfort. Both are pretty great.

How often he calls
If he’s a texter who never calls, he might just like to use you as a sounding board throughout his day—he gets to complain/boast/tell a story and doesn’t have to hear your reply if he’s not in the mood. If he calls once a day, he might be someone who thinks talking is overrated, but believes you should be caught up on one another’s lives. If he calls several times throughout the day, he sees you as a friend and support system! Hearing your voice gives him an instant boost, so why wouldn’t he reach for that often?
