Topic: What women want in a man Posted: 04-Jun-2007 at 12:22 |
Many men are confused as to what women really want. This is a very cute article in which a womens magazine polled its readers and asked women what they wanted and looked for in a man. The results were published based on age groups and they are as follows:
Women in their early 20s look for men who are handsome, charming, financially successful, a caring listener, witty, in good physical shape, dresses in style, appreciates the finer things, full of thoughtful surprises, an imaginative, romantic lover.
Women in their early 30s look for men who are nice looking, opens car doors, holds chairs, etc. (good manners), has enough money for a nice dinner, listens more than talks, laughs at my jokes, carries bags of groceries with ease, owns at least one tie, appreciates a good home-cooked meal, remembers birthdays and anniversaries, seeks romance at least once a week.
Women in their early 40s look for men who are not too ugly, works steadily, splurges on dinner out occasionally, nods head when Im talking, usually remembers punch lines of jokes, is in good enough shape to rearrange the furniture, wears a shirt that covers his stomach, knows not to buy champagne with screw-top lids, remembers to put the toilet seat down, shaves most weekends.
Women in their early 50s look for men who keeps hair in nose and ears trimmed, doesnt belch or scratch in public, doesnt borrow money too often, doesnt nod off to sleep when Im venting, doesnt re-tell the same joke over and over again, is in good enough shape to get off the couch on weekends, usually wears matching socks and fresh underwear, appreciates a good TV frozen dinner, remembers your name on occasion, shaves some weekends.
Women in their early 60s look for men who dont scare small children, remembers where bathroom is, doesnt require much money for upkeep, only snores lightly when asleep, remembers why hes laughing, is in good enough shape to stand up by himself, usually wears some clothes, likes soft foods, remembers where he left his teeth, remembers that its the weekend
Women in their early 70s look for men who are still breathing and who dont miss the toilet!

Nice article..
But sometimes I think what women want in a man is pretty simple: power...
Just look at Hitler and his relations with women... Women committed suice for him, women dreamed of him, actually women adored him...and He was not that cute ...

At least this explains why I've been so unsuccessful with women these last years, on the upside it looks like my chances with those older women are quite good.

So in other words, women in their 20s are attracted to financially successful homosexuals....
Seriously, adjust your standards so they are in line with what you yourself have to offer

A woman who will pretend she's interested in about obscure concepts she doesn't understand, who is moderately attractive, can tell you when you need to iron your clothes, and keeps the world running - or at least, keeps his world running.

Exactly.
People make a cliche remark.. They say what matters is the beauty of inside, in other words, the beauty of chracter...
But since the extend of our character remains hidden under the blanket of normality, how can one see the whole extend of the beauty of character?
so for both men and women is question of hypocricy.
Men want beautiful partners because they want to be attracted to them sexually.
Women want handsome partners because they reason that if outside is good-looking, inside must be as well.

oh, the shallowness.
I do not agree. Sure, everyone wants a partner they like the look of, but that does not mean everybody wants a model. Given the choice between a beautiful emptyheaded person who's biggest worry is what to wear, and a not quite perfect person who you can talk to all day without getting bored, I know who I'd choose.
I had a physics teacher at school who always told us we should take care to marry the really nice/kind/sweet guy/girl, and not the pretty one. After all, after 40 years of marriage, the beauty will be mostly gone, but the really nice/kind/sweet one will still be really nice/kind/sweet.

Aelgifu,
I am not refering to models, but still very beautiful girls and handsome guys.
after all, how can you see the true face of one's inside until an abnormal situaion emerges? in normal conditions, many are kind, many are angels...
so what matters for teh overwhelming majority is the apperance.,
you don't agree, because you are special in the sense that you are not like the majority of girls who find history'' boring stuff''. you have develoepd a good level of intelelctual thinking.

How about this, the "L" word.
Livable! Attractive people, sweet people, all of them may not be livable. But when you have to spend 50 years with someone, they must be of the livable kind.

Well, much as your praise flatters me... I recently read in the paper that this year is oficially the first that there are more women attending universities in the Netherlands than men. Also, in my medieval studies master, there were 4 men and 12 women. So much as I would like to, I doubt I am very unique in any respect...
