Alright damnit. I said I wouldn't take the bait but this discussion is aggravating. I'll tell you the truth of what men are thinking. This is what we want in a woman...

FIRST:

You have to have the body and good looks of a Heather Locklear, but the heart and general virtuosity of Mother Teresa. We need you to be honest, loyal, and damn-near as devoted as a good horse or dog. However, you also gotta be gorgeous. Can't envision a lifetime of wakin up next to a buttugly woman. Slap some makeup on that face for christ's sake. Or at least have the good sense to dim the lights (or get us drunk) if you get nekkid.

SECOND:

You have to laugh at our cheesy jokes (but not mock our shortcomings). You also have to have Einsteinian brainpower, but just don't be smarter than us. If you are, be smart enough to pretend you aren't.

THIRD:

Learn to hunt. Learn to fish. Learn to tear apart an engine (automobile, boat, or otherwise), learn fierce loyalty (for better or worse, till death do you part). Do those things and mankind will put you on a pedestal. Any man who eats meat but condemns hunting and fishing is a hipocrite. Vegetarians get a free pass on this one. Any man who is afraid to get a lil grease on his fingers... well, u figure it out.

FINALLY:

Don't forget... all men love a warrior woman unless she resembles a vikinglike shebeast akin to Rosie O'Donnell. Or the equally hideous monstrosities Barbara Streisand, Condoleeza Rice, Madeleine Albright, etc. Could go on and on. Lot of women out their being touted as icons of what men desire. Popular hollywood culture may hold them up as some ideal of beautiful women, but to we men (most of us) they are nothing more than shrieking physically grotesque man-haters. Our Ideal is the Valkyrie. Strong, beautiful, proud. Loyal to a fault.

Sorry... the sensitive pony-tail guy who can manhandle a barroom full of bikers defending your honor only exists in Steven Seagal films.

That's my view.

No such thing as gravity. The "Earth-that-was" just sucks.

PS ~ for Christ's sake learn to cook too... most woman can't cook period. Nothing is more disgusting to a man then a TV dinner woman. Hell, that's why most men are becoming gourmet chefs in their own right.

No, it's completely impossible

This is why the nice guy thing is a red herring. Nice is not the same thing as having qualities you like. This is why nice guys get bitter all these women saying they can't find nice guys are really saying they can't find guys with qualities they want.

A nice guy treats people nicely, not just the woman in question, but all people. His level of self-confidence, sense of humor, attractiveness, etc. are all independent traits.

I subscribe to the passage from the Music Man (substituting woman for man and eliminating the Iowa requirement of course).

ALL I WANT IS A PLAIN MAN, ALL I WANT IS A MODEST MAN
A QUIET MAN, A GENTLE MAN, A STRAIGHT FORWARD AND HONEST MAN
TO SIT WITH ME IN A COTTAGE SOMEWHERE IN THE STATE OF IOWA
AND I WOULD LIKE HIM TO BE MORE INTERESTED IN ME THAN HE IS IN HIMSELF AN MORE INTERESTED IN US THAN IN ME. AND IF OCCASIONALLY HE'D PONDER, WHAT MAKES SHAKESPEARE AND BEETHOVEN GREAT. HIM I COULD LOVE TILL I DIE, HIM I COULD LOVE TILL I DIE.

Knowledge is sorrow; they who know the most
Must mourn the deepest o'er the fatal truth,
The Tree of Knowledge is not that of Life.

I think the following slice from Much Ado About Nothing has a place on this thread:

BEATRICE
Good Lord, for alliance! Thus goes every one to the
world but I, and I am sunburnt; I may sit in a
corner and cry heigh-ho for a husband!

DON PEDRO
Lady Beatrice, I will get you one.

BEATRICE
I would rather have one of your father's getting.
Hath your grace ne'er a brother like you? Your
father got excellent husbands, if a maid could come by them.

DON PEDRO
Will you have me, lady?

BEATRICE
No, my lord, unless I might have another for
working-days: your grace is too costly to wear
every day. But, I beseech your grace, pardon me: I
was born to speak all mirth and no matter.

If nothing else, the problem is an old one. But, hey, its got a happy ending! And I, for one, strongly object to trying to get people married off by 30.

XG-I'm a Valkyrie. And I'm a great cook. 'Course, I might just as well kill you as kiss you. It's a gamble with us warrior women.

I would imagine some are easy to kill than others.

Like...I don't know...maybe the ones than need a woman to cook for them, clean for them, and to do their laundry, while they sit around, scratch their bellies and watch sports on TV. They are soft indeed.

I would rather play sports than watch them, and my wife is not my trophy nor my slave.

Ha, it seems I'm always the one to clean and cook, etc. (though I still don't know how to cook much aside from the basics). Maybe it's my luck. Where are the nice girls ;D
