disgracian Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 I'm just waiting for someone to counter with a thread about 'The Perfect Guy'. I can just visualize it now... And sometimes when he cooks, he weeps. Cheers, D.
Southern Belle Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 No vocal cords would be a start So you don't want to hear about how much a stud you are in the sack???
Sam Spade Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 The perfect girl doesn't waste emotional energy into developing long lists about what her perfect man should be. The fact that this thread died almost instantly while the reciprocal thread about the perfect man got thrice as long instantly and keeps going is an empirical proof that men don't ask for much (but even what little they ask for is considered too much by ome), while most women's entitlement attitudes can never be satisfied (so why even try ?).
homersheineken Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 I wouldn't want a perfect girl to be honest. Are you on Red Mosquito?
cognac Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Even though that list is indeed idiotic and superficial, there are some kernals of truth to it. But I could care less about 90% of that list , tanning, etc are all not important to me, if anything i actually love a woman with very natural white skin. I think many men do from personal experience. Women with fake tans all look the same. I don't think it should offend most women though, all of the traits of the "perfect woman" even by a very shallow man's definition, are relatively attainable, a majority of women can be the OP's definition of a perfect woman. Compare that to the average woman's list of a perfect man which means making more than 80,000 dollars a year, driving a very expensive car, being over 6 feet tall, having huge muscles, being well-known/extremely social, etc. Lots of dead ends for us that can't be cured simply by being some tan spray or make up.

Actually none of those things are on my list. Or at least they weren't back when I used to make serious lists of what I was looking for. But then I've never been average.

My mind wants me to swear off women for good, but the demon in my pants forces me to go against this Pretty interesting you live in NYC , I do too, and this is the capital of irrationally picky, mean, materialistic, snobby, one dimensional women . I strongly doubt you're as different as you say, every woman I meet is special and unique in their own minds

I was simply pointing out that your list of superficial traits that you believe the average woman is looking for doesn't apply to me. Not that you should take my word for it, when you've got the law of averages on your side.

You must be a saint if you don't care about how tall a guy is , how much money he has (or if you're young, what kind of career he's pursuing), or how popular he is with the crowd.
PinkToes Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 When I was younger, I'll admit that career choice was something I did pay attention to. Then I started earning my own money, and I also fell madly in love with a carpenter (who also happened to be shorter than me). To be honest -- and you'll have to trust me here -- I don't have any interest in men with money who got that way by looking to get rich. If it comes out of a passion for what they're doing, that's cool. But I've always paid my own way, and I don't need someone else to buy me stuff or give me status or look good on my arm. I really don't.
cognac Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 LOL pinky, I'm still not convinced but no point in arguing this over the internet. Can you tell me where girls like you hang around in NYC? I have yet to meet one in 18 years of going to school, partying, socializing, and generally living here.

I actually think I have my own theories about why this has less responses. 1) There are more active female posters than men. I'm sure all the men who whine about being perpetually outnumbered in gender-war threads would agree with me. 2) TBF's OP actually sounded serious and prompted real discussion, whereas this one sounded so hilarious it practically became a joke thread for most people with a sense of humor. Joke threads don't usually last long.
threebyfate Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Oh, oh, looks like I failed the perfect woman test. C'est la vie.

Building the perfect man thread asked for input. This one came ready-made. The way the threads are set up is therefore completely different and cannot be compared. Plus, the perfect man thread is, as far as I can tell, playful. This one sounds more serious.
