Exclusive Justin Interview
Justin Talks Girls, Guys, And Relationships..
...With No Strings Attached
Justin, are you more cautious about approaching girls nowadays, for fear they might like you for the wrong reasons?
Justin: "I'm pretty quiet on the first impression. Instead of, like, talking and trying to figure them out, I kinda listen more. And somebody might get that impression about me, that I'm a little bit more quiet or you know, a little bit more to myself. But that's because, when I meet someone, I kinda listen to what they have to say and then base my feeling upon that."
And what do you do if you realize you're interested?
Justin: "Well, I'm pretty honest you know. If I'm interested in somebody, I'll just tell them, and if they're interested in me too, we'll go out and get to know each other."
What kind of things interest you in a person?
Justin: "When I meet someone, you know, and my first impression is that they're comfortable with themselves, confident about their own personality and know themselves, that's what's sexy to me. That's what really turns me on. And I'll be interested in if somebody can just talk to me as a person, and just say what they have on their mind and know what they mean and know themselves. That's a really big turn on to me...I think I'm really good at recognizing what kind of person someone might be, and I...love, you know, talking and socializing. But pretty much, I know who I'm going to be close to before I'm close to them."
Do you and your buddies like to be asked out on a date or do you prefer to do the asking?
Justin: "I find it the best when it's just casual conversation and then you come to common grounds and somebody in the conversation says, Hey, would you like to spend some time together? You know, go out and do something for fun or whatever."
How important are physical traits to guys?
Justin: I think the physical thing is very important with guys, with most guys. I don't wanna sound stereotypical; it's not really a big deal to me. But I think when guys talk, obviously it's like, 'Oh you know, I like her waist, her butt, da, da, da. You get that a lot when you hear guys talk. I don't. I can't. I don't know why guys do that. I don't know. I think girls are the same way though. There are certain characteristics-physical traits-about a guy that would first attract a girl to him, whether it be the thighs or his butt for that matter. I don't know. I defiantly heard girls say to me 'Oh, well, I like Brad Pitt, because he has a nice butt,' or something, you know? I think it goes both ways"
What's a huge mystery to you when it comes to girls?
Justin: "A girl might get upset because I didn't understand how she felt at a particular time. She might say to me, 'You are just supposed to know..', and that's not the case... If you feel a certain way about something, you need to be vocal; you need to communicate. I really think communication is one of the most important things in any relationship. And if you can't communicate with each other, you are not going to go anywhere...I'm not psychic. If you feel a certain way, you know, at least give me a hint, give me a nudge, give me a wink, give me something to let me know that you are uncomfortable, and I will defiantly try to make things the way you want them."
Justin, you've been talking a lot about communication and feelings. Why do you think guys tend to hide their feelings
Justin: "The way TV movies and the media have made guys to be is that they are these macho human beings, and that they don't really show their feelings. And that's why I think anybody making fun of anybody else is obviously insecure about themselves and is trying to make themselves look like a better person than sombody else. Everyone gets their heart broken, everybody gets emotional. There are things that people care about. With guys, it could be anything. It could be if a guy cares about a sport. If his team loses, he's going to get emotional about it. He's gonna get angry. You know, I mean everybody's got something they're into, and if you push that button enough, they're gonna get emotional about it."
What secrets do guys keep?
Justin: "You know, everybody is looking for that warmth, from someone you might want to be your soulmate one day...But I think guys put up a front, because men are men...I think we're looking for somebody we can share everything with. I mean, not everybody is looking for that at this particular time, but you know what I mean."
When you're with your other guy friends, do you talk about girls in more than physical ways?
Justin: "Defiantly. Yeah. That's a big thing with me. I know a lot of dudes, one of my best friends, we always talk about 'What kinda girl is she?'...I mean, if you're going to be in a relationship with someone, for it to work, you also have to work at it or it's not going to be what you want it to be..."
Do you think that when guys talk to each other, they can be really honest about how they feel, or is there still that front?
Justin: "I'm always as honest as I can be. I think everybody exaggerates every now and then. I know, of my close guys friends, if they are talking about a girl and they're just with me, they'll probably be totally honest with me. When people get around people they aren't too comfortable with, then they might put on a front and try to say something they don't wanna say, or try to exaggerate something to another degree."
Do you and the other members of 'N Sync talk about the women in your lives? Do you share?
Justin: "Sure. Yeah, we're guys."
You give each other advice?
Justin: "Yeah, defiantly."
Do you take advice easily?"
Justin: "Yeah, I'm always open for improvement, so if anybody has
any advice for me..."
Have any of your friends, including the guys from 'N Sync, ever told you, 'I really love her' or 'I could see myself spending a long time with her?'
Justin: "Umm, I've heard it a couple of times...I mean, obviously you're young, so things happen and things sometimes don't work out. But, yeah, I have [heard it].."
Do you think guys are as heartbroken as girls when a relationship falls apart?
Justin: "There's always this misunderstanding that guys are dogs and women are usually the victim, but ask him about his first love, and I bet you you'll find out he got cheated on. He got his heart broken or whatever, and that's what started him. So often with a lot of people, it's all about what happened to them in the past and they're scared for that to happen to them again. And that's why they sheild, and that's why they become deceitful and things like that."
Is it still taboo for guys to cry and break down and get emotional when they talk or when they're with their friends?
Justin: "Guys wanna seem like guys. You don't normally see a guy cry and I guess, you know, maybe some guys are more comfortable with crying and some guys aren't."
Have you ever cried?
Justin: "Yeah, sure. I think everybody has gotten their heart broken before."
(Could he sound any more like a 12 year old valley girl? Did anyone else understand ANYTHING he said? Throw me a frickin' bone here..)
(Yeah, okie.. if "they're" interested then they'll go out. If Justin Timberlake wants someone, he's gonna get 'em, "Cuz he be Justin bitch! Whose yo daddy?!")
(Ok.."confident about their own personality?!.."know themselves?!" THATS his turn on?! Yeah right! Can we say "bullshit"?! More like "Big knockers and hair extensions is what REALLY turns me on")
(Ok, when's the last time someone said to you "Hey, would you like to spend some time together?" Lets turn this sentence into Justin language "You! Here! Now! Bitch!")
(Umm.. Yeah, this one I'm gonna believe. Justin doesn't care what a girl looks like. Ok, then how come every girl I've ever seen him with was about 110 lbs and had big boobs? Just a little cowinky dink, huh Justy?)
(Aww..Justy..I've never seen this side of you before..that was just so..*sniff*..SWEET!! Actually, he answered that question pretty damn good..Justin, baby, I love you..marry me, please? I'll even give you a seperate room to keep all your baby blue attire in. I'll treat you right =-))
(mmhmm..riiiiight..very, intelligent sounding..)
(Actually, I don't know what you mean..explain to me..SHOW me..hehe..)
(Ok, your tryin' to tell me that you don't sit around with you buddies and say "She had one fine ass, yo! I want that shit.." Are you normal?)
(C'mon Justin.. you know you sit there and brag to your buddies how you had Britney and Christina Agularia in one night..don't lie..)
(You guys SHARE your women? Aww yeah, the truth finally comes out! We knew it wasn't only Joey gettin' all dem hoes.. we knew the rest of the guys did some of that shit too..)
(I bet they do..I can just imagine their little conversations.."Yo, ya gotta be fly like me to get dem hoes!" "Shut up Justin! Nobody asked you!")
(Yeah, sure.."Justin, I don't like that shirt your wearing".. "Back off Beatch!! This shirt be phat! Don't you tell me how to dress, hoe!)
(Alright Justin, spill it, whose in love in Nsync? Is Lance still talkin' about Toby? Jeez..let it go..)
(Yeah, yeah, excuses, excuses. The GUYS are ALWAYS the victim, right Justy? Just cuz they get their heart broken, that gives them a reason to be assholes. Good point freak :p)
(mmhmm..okie..)
(Justin Timberlake cried? What happened? Did someone steal one of Justy's 500 FUBU shirts?..aww poor baby..)
