irc333 Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Okay, I think we've posted about this before, but I have NEVER seen such a description from a woman (who seems fed up with online dating after a month already) Was clarifying what she was wanting so only THOSE men could email her. She had A LOT of specifics to what she was looking for, what the size his hands had to be to the "bushiness" of his eyebrows. But, I must've fell out of the chair laughing.....she said that the guy she dates, must have a big belly (but a hard gut, not a beer gut....I thought any guy with a gut was a beer gut?)....a gut that stick out...why? Because she has a big booty, and his gut could rest on the top of her butt when they spooned. (She has a significant hourglass figure, in case you were wondering, apparently she had so many emails coming in, she had to keep stacking on even more descriptive criteria.) If anyone can beat this one, I'm all ears! Speaking of "throwing in the towel" she might as well throw in the towel.

She's been watching too much lifetime tv and romantic comedies. Ok I'll admit, the stupidest dating criteria I have is this: (lol I'm laughing at myself as I type this) but men who are afraid of snakes really turn me off. So I try not to date them. Haha.

Audrina Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Even LMFAO surprisingly when I mention my overly picky criteria about being afraid of snakes to people I say Indiana Jones is the exception. But what brought this up is that Mike Rowe (the guy from Dirty Jobs) seems like he's pretty right for me, BUT he doesn't like snakes ... and as soon as I saw that, I was like nope. Mike Rowe I might admire you're looks but we could never date unless you got rid of the discomfort around snakes. The weird thing about all this? I don't have a snake, I don't plan on getting one, it's just one of those things. I understand it's a natural response to be afraid of snakes, they can kill us and it's biological but it's something that just REALLY annoys me, along with stopping as soon as you get to the top of stairs. CHRIST people stop stopping at the very top of stairs when people are behind you, just move over and then figure out whatever you need to figure out.
thatone Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) i actually like snakes, had some friends over the years with pet snakes, but i'm taken sorry! spiders on the other hand, can't do em. and the state i live in has tarantulas, so it's especially iffy for me. i don't make a habit of turning over rocks, that's for sure. yeah i know tarantulas are docile and non-poisonous, i don't care. something with teeth and that many legs should not be allowed to exist, they have an unfair advantage.

thatone Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 that doesn't even hold a candle to the people who stop on ramps coming into interstate traffic. that's why i'm against concealed weapon laws. if i had a gun in the glove box i would be too tempted to shoot those people. you don't stop on the damned interstate, you speed up, if no one lets you in you drive on the shoulder until someone does.

thatone Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 i blame facebook for the lack of social grace these days. it's pretty pathetic. kids grow up without learning how to act in public. i think i've posted this on here before, but a few months back i was standing in a convenience store waiting to pay for gas and gum and what not, and the guy behind me was constantly bumping into me. the thing was, there was no one behind him so it wasn't like he was being crowded, and there was only one person in front of us. in other words, three people in the whole f*cking store and he's bumping into me over and over again, all the time yammering on his phone about what so and so put on her facebook page. i'm not typically confrontational to strangers but after the third bump from his elbow even i had to turn around and tell him "look, you're not gonna get outta here any quicker by standing two inches from me, why don't you ease back a bit". and i should've known the response i was gonna get, it was "sorry brah". and i was thinking yeah brah, bump me with that elbow one more time brah and i'll shove it up your ass brah.
Eddie Edirol Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Someone tell me if my criteria is too picky. Women who: are over 25 years old under 5'5" 140 live alone - no kids have a car some kind of job I used to say no animals, but most of the women I met without kids have animals. Its a pain in the ass. too much?? BTW IRC333 i think that womans criteria of the hard gut to spoon with was to fill the space of the guy who dumped her. So she wont be over him anytime soon.

I actually generally think these lists are ridiculous and would mostly agree with the thoughts on this thread.. but i don't think this list is ridculous.. I went through every single point and my man is every single one of them. He's one of a kind but I don't think this list is ridiculous. I think the lists that go on about specific height, hand size and hair colour get silly... but this is reasonable. my guy is a musician, who is very handy (he makes tables, sideboards etc for around the house), coaches sport, is broad and manly, is funny, intelligent (graduates from physcology at the end of this year), honest, respectful, easy going and he's dominat where i like it (in bed, takes the lead in social situations - which i prefer), flirty, sarcatic (humour that i enjoy).. in fact the only thing he doesn't tick is that he does manual labour for a living, because he doesn't sell any of the peices he makes, instead he coaches children aged 2-5 and some older rugby teams. I think people should be allowed to have standards like hers! Because when I read it... all I could think was that if I lost him again I wouldn't be able to lower my standards to anything less.

So you found the 1% of perfect men. What do the 99% of us do? If you were single, would you like someone to use some brilliant amazing female who also happens to look like a supermodel as the "standard" that cannot budge on?

Wolf18 Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 I can understand why so many guys lose heart dealing with American women, particularly ones who use internet dating. Know this, something from a guy whose been to other countries: there are places in the world where a guy who looks decent and has a deep personality and strong character can be considered attractive by some women, including women who are equally as attractive and interesting (sorry, 6'3 Lumberjacks with arnold schwarzeneger bodies that love the Opera and play the guitar in their spare time are not as common so women have to "settle" there) ! Yes, even a guy who is *holds back vomit* 5'8 and thin-athletic rather than linebacker. can't wait to get as far from the women of this society as I can.

I think women and men SHOULD look for people who are perfect for them. Why settle? Do you want a girl who goes out with you even though she'd prefer you were a million other things? Plenty of girls would find his unruly hair v unattractive, the fact that he leaves his chest hair on is a massive turn off for most of my girl friends and plenty of girls couldn't care less if their man can make a table or not. He hasn't got a super fit bod, he's just broad shoulders with a little bit of hardish pudge (just the way i like it!). Plenty of girls couldn't care less if their guy plays music. I care, so why on earth would I remove it from my list and date you anyway? You wouldn't make me happy. I've dated guys who don't agree with my list and all I do is spend time wishing they were more like A, B and C criteria because they are things that matter to me. Also my guy does not look like a supermodel... i just find him attractive. If you don't have a sense of humor, aren't intelligent and don't know how to be helpful around the house then yeah you probably are going to find your pickings slim. I didn't say that every single man needs to be the same as my man.. I said that men who are suited to specific women do exist so those women like to hold out for them. nothing wrong with that. it's obviously not unattaiable as all of my friends are in great long term relationships... so these men aren't the 1% of the world.. people date people, people get married, so obviously great men are there. edit - erm not sure if the above post was directed at me or a hateful msg for women in general ... you are over exaggerating and being ridiculous. I don't recall anyone on these threads saying they wanted someone with an schwarzenegger body, is a lumberjack and likes the opera. btw, I'm Australian and lived here all my life.

Do you want a girl who goes out with you even though she'd prefer you were a million other things? She PREFERS (not requires) other things. I have known women to wind up with great guys that never met some of their preferences, and they were actually happy with the guy. They eventually wise up and become realistic. You see, some of these women have all these lists, right......but they probably meet a guy, find something that's not on the list about it...... ...they probably ARE attracted to the guy....but here's the problem......they think they can do BETTER. Just Google "The Husband Store" and you'll know what I mean. VERY accurate analogy of representation of a woman making her mate selection.
Author irc333 Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 Yeah, probably looking for an exact replacement, she added an "update" stating she gets 50 emails a day, and said she even added MORE to her description criteria Although, some men would indeed call her overweight, well....she's very curvy (not in shape), but there's a certain KIND of man that's attracted to a big booty and juggs. She even had a pic of her in a bikini in the bathroom, with her head cropped out of it (I guess just to give us guys an idea of her body shape). Like she put on the swimsuit just FOR the profile. LOL Funny, I noticed the most picky women go through the most desperate measures to get a man. And she said if she ever does find "the one", he'd be getting a lot of sex (as if we needed to know that). I can understand why so many guys lose heart dealing with American women, particularly ones who use internet dating. Know this, something from a guy whose been to other countries: there are places in the world where a guy who looks decent and has a deep personality and strong character can be considered attractive by some women, including women who are equally as attractive and interesting (sorry, 6'3 Lumberjacks with arnold schwarzeneger bodies that love the Opera and play the guitar in their spare time are not as common so women have to "settle" there) !

blueskyday Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 My criteria: 1. He makes my knees weak. 2. He is a kind person with good integrity and judgment. 3. We have fun and laugh together. That's it.
grkBoy Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 My favorite is always how many times men and women will dance around the notion that they want a "hot person", but won't just come clean and say it...knowing it makes them look shallow.
blueskyday Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 "Hot" is subjective. We all want someone we are attracted to and have chemistry with. That's normal! It crosses a line when we describe EXACTLY what hot looks like, ie, brown eyes, over 6 feet tall, or big boobs, blonde hair... All it really means is that your body reacts to them and you want to get naked. In my experience, lots of body types and looks turn me on. It's quite vague...which I think is good...opens the door to all kinds of people, and allows for emotional stuff to make someone even more attractive to you...

That actually describes my partner pretty accurately, except he's not tall. He's educated (graduated from a top notch school with an excellent GPA), artistic (writes fiction), crafty (has done a lot of woodwork and manual labor projects), and good with his hands (his job is physical labor). He's laid back but doesn't let people push him around. He has a sarcastic sense of humor, but he's not disrespectful. I didn't have a laundry list in my head when I was getting to know him, but those qualities in that list are all things I appreciate about him.

Rinas Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Ok I'll admit, the stupidest dating criteria I have is this: (lol I'm laughing at myself as I type this) but men who are afraid of snakes really turn me off. So I try not to date them. Haha. :lmao: I have a similar thing, but with spiders! Yet, here I am, dating a guy who's afraid of them, yet again. They always think I'm strange for having a thing for spiders.
