Survey: Women Describe "The Perfect Man"

[mariab]

If my man cried in a movie theater, I'd punch him. I don't even cry in movie theaters, he's definitely not allowed to.
(Unless it's Old Yeller or any movie where the dog dies. Then crying is mandatory).

I only cry (well, tear up) every time when watching White Dog. Might have cried once when re-watching Buffy dying in Season 5, but I was depressed and semi-suicidal. ;-) My boss tears up at the opera sometimes. When the heroine dies of tuberculosis. :-)

I know lots of guys who cry when their team lost an important game and at movies like Saving Private Ryan, Band of brothers, etc..

hyper masculine subjects engaged in testosterone associated tasks.

Do that as often as possible, freestyle snowboarder here specialized in big air. Plus surfing 6foot waves. Never cry when crashing and getting injured. :-p

I have been married to the perfect man for almost 30 years. He's intelligent, clean of habits, treats me well, thinks I'm still sexy, buys me flowers, provides excellent conversation and tolerates me! What more can a woman want?

Therapy?

"Where the Red Fern Grows." Both the book & the movie require a whole box of Kleenex.

In my opinion, a real man cries over animals. (So does a real woman.)

Hi Julie.

Do you sell time-shares?

[mariab]

I could care less about flowers.

Hi Maria

How are you with grapes then?

(Ducks for cover)

All the best

I'm always saying, I know what to give Wick for Xmas. (Cuz he's so fixed on grapes, lol.)

[Rubyretro]

I think that the top of my list would be 'not boring'...

( Er...but then Hitler might not have been boring...)

...So kind + not boring in equal measure.

I'd go along with 'is moved by Old Yeller, but manages not to cry.."

Macho but tender (sort of Marlon Brando in On The Waterfront)

Deffo "earns more than me".

Blind would be quite good....I wouldn't say entirely deaf (I'd want him to hear my instructions), but hard of hearing sometimes would be useful..

Very,very intelligent and extremely handsome.

I wouldn't object if he wanted to drive an Audi, or anything else, although I might balk at being a passanger

Had made a Will.

An insatiable sex drive, but a strange lack of confidence with strangers ( coupled with his occular and audio deficiancy).

Fabulous business ability and organisational skills.

A touching naivety (for one so experienced), and gratefullness towards his loved one..

Giving.

A diplomatic ability to lie, sweetly.

Witty, musical, artistic, poetic, literary (loud audio books).

Good at both cooking and putting out fires but prefers eating out.

Polite.

An old fashioned inacceptance of women paying for anything.

Treats women as equals.

I'm not too fussy so I'd accept his 'OCD-need-to-do-housework' problem, with sensitivity...

oh, yes....doesn't wear V-neck jumpers, and washes.

A soft voice.

[c.d.]

What the hell is a "jumper" anyway? Is that an English term for a sweater?

c.d.

[Cogidubnus]

It's an original English term for what the ex-colonials call a sweater - alternatively it's a word describing suicide by an ex-colonial who finally realises how worthless he really is...

Cries at the movies...after paying for tickets and the treats.

what women want

This article is way off the mark, as for the guy in the photo, he looks so smug & is not attractive, he is not what most women with any sense want !

Height – at least 5ft 8
Toned & Athletic, - yes but not ordinary sports, does rock climbing or mountain bike riding
Eye colour & hair colour – not important as long as he has eyes & hair !
Casual dress sense but not smart
Drinks whatever including beer
Does Smoke
No V neck sweaters !
Does not want kids/family
Does not care for shopping, I can do that !
Well I’m vegetarian, but he can eat meat if he likes
Has facial hair if he wants to
Has some chest hair, but not like a gorilla
Lets me watch soaps
Hates Football
As long as he can drive, what car does not matter
Intelligent, but who says you have a degree to be smart
Well it would help if he earned more than me !
Yes he has to be fun & like joking around
Sensitive, but not at all soppy
As long as he says I Love You sometimes
Does not look at other women, Why would he, I’m young & gorgeous !
I think we have established he has a driving license
Can swim & ride a bike & change a tyre
Is NOT a mummy’s boy who’s always calling mum !!

Would also add has Musical or Artistic talent & likes cats,
also no crying at movies, but does like Japanese Anime films.

"he is not what most women with any sense want"

But how many women have any sense when it comes to love?

I take it he must say "I love you" sometimes, and not "I love you sometimes."

[bolo]

Oh my...

According to the list, I must be the most unattractive male ever, except for the beer and bike riding bits.

Well, luckily my wife thinks the list is utter crap.

Before we take this relationship any further I have a question; can you make a good sandwich?
