Could You Be N'SYNC's
Dream Girl?
We cant blame you if
your heart starts fluttering when you see pictures of Lance Bass,
JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and Justin Timberlake
of N'SYNC, the cutie-pies who croon the catchy hits "I Want
You Back" and "Tearin Up My Heart" off their 1998
self-titled debute album. Not only are they super-talented,
they're also totally adorable! Thus it's no surprise to discover
that lots of Boppers have been secretly daydreaming about dating
these Orlando, Florida-based bandmates. So what would it take to
win their hearts? Could you be the type of girl that they've
privately dreamed of meeting someday, too? When N'SYNC dropped by
BOP HQ, we decided to get some answers for you. And as we
discovered, these five guys have sime pretty definite opinions on
what kinds of girls take their breath away! Take JC, for
instance. This 22-year-old babe tells us that he's turned on by
confidence. "I love it when a girl carries herself well and
she's proud of who she is and what she does," he shares.
"You can see that [confidence] all the way across the room,
because believe it or not, it's pretty rare." However, while
JC is drawn to girls who are happy with themselves, he isn't into
girls who let that self-confidence go to their heads and start
acting stuck-up. "There's a fine line between conceit and
confidence," he points out. Aside from a strong sense of
self-esteem, the characteristics JC admires most in a girl are
the same ones he values in his buds. "I look for the same
things I look for in a friend, really," he shrugs.
"First of all, honesty. Second of all, somebody who can make
me laugh, 'cause I'm a pretty serious person, and patience,
because this gig has us traveling to 100 different places."
Sounds like JC's dream girl will also have to be okay with lots
of long distance phone calls, too! Like JC, Joey is on the
lookout for a girl who shares lots of personality traits with his
friends. "I like someone who can indicate her mind, who can
take a joke and hang out like a friend because, I mean, you want
to have that type of relationship," explains the 21-year-old
dreamy dude. "You want to have someone whom you can be
friends with as well as boyfriend and girlfriend." That's
why, as far as Joey is concerned, a girl's personality is much
more important than her appearance. "She doesn't have to be
the most gorgeous person in the world as long as she has a great
personality," he asserts. But don't think that means that
Joey doesn't care about a girl's looks. he admits that he's not
into girls who can't be bothered to comb their hair and dress
nicely. "I'm not really picky or anything, but she has to
maintain herself," Joey says. In other words, a sloppy,
rumpled look definitely won't work magic on this guy's heart. It
won't work on 19-year-old Lance's heart, either. "I like a
natural-looking girl, but, I mean, somebody who likes to keep
herself up," he tells us. "I like somebody who respects
herself [enough] to want to make herself look as goos as she
can." However, Lance adds, although he's attracted to a girl
who cares about her appearence, he isn't interested in the type
of vain, mirror-loving girl "who knows she looks really
good," he says. Girls who are loud, crude or wild also won't
get anywhere with Lance. "I like innocent girls,"
shares this shy guy. As he's told BOP before, his idea of
perfection is Tirrani Smith, the sweet, naive girl played by
Kelly Packard on the former Saturday morning NBC-TV series
California Dreams. "She is my ideal because she's so
innocent and so goody-goody," Lance reveals. "She's,
like, perfect." Yet don't worry that Lance is so ga-ga over
this TV character that he's not interested in real-life girls!
"I just like all kinds of girls, you know?" he says
with a quick smile. "Just as long as they have a sweet
attitude." Sweet and innocent is just the type of girl that
Justin falls for, too. "For me, it's innocence, you
know?" says the 17-year-old singer. "I look for honesty
and sensitivity, someone with a sense of humor. And I like
independence. It's like she's her own woman, her own person.
She's a girl who speaks her mind and takes charge of
situations." In addition to take-charge chicas like this,
Justin is also attracted to girls who share his enthusiasm for
sports. "If she's athletic, she's usually got me," he
grins. And those of you who love to play his fav sport have an
even better shot at finding a spot in this hoopster's heart!
"I really dig girls who are into basketball," says
Justin. Romantic-natured girls who are into moonlit walks on the
beach and elegant dinners take his breath away, too. That's
because Justin is a lovey-dovey guy who enjoys sharing
heart-melting moments with a girl. "What can I say, I'm a
hopeless romantic," he confesses. "When I get wrapped
up in a girl, I become so softhearted." And what about
Chris? Well, this 26-year-old hunk admits that physical
attraction is pretty important to him. "Of course, everyone
looks for looks," he says. "You know, you always want
to have somebody that you think looks decent." But don't
think that that means Chris only goes for girls with beautiful
faces. He makes it clear that he isn't looking for a girl with
model-perfect looks. Instead, he is simply searching for someone
whom he finds attractive--someone a whole lot like silver-screen
queen Audrey Hepburn. "I love her." Chris gushes. That
doesn't mean Chris is only into brunettes with slender, waif-like
figures who resemble Audrey. What Chris digs about the late star
of 1953's Roman Holiday and 1961's Breakfast At Tiffany's is her
personality more than her appearance. "I'm really a
personality person," he shares. "Audrey Hepburn, it's a
certain look, but it's more in the personality and the chemistry
than the look." What appeals to Chris about Audrey's
personality is that she "carries herself very sophisticated
but isn't afraid to have fun," he says. "I like a girl
who's not afraid to put her boots on and run through the mud.
She'd do it because she wants to do it and she wouldn't care if
everybody else is saying, 'Oh, she'd look stupid if she ran
through the mud.' She'd just do it, you know?" And now, you
know what it takes to win a special place in N'SYNC's hearts!
