But according to This Other Article in the U.K.'s Daily Mail, A "typical" woman's idea of a perfect man is:

  • Six feet tall
  • Muscly, toned and athletic
  • Brown eyes
  • Short dark hair
  • Knows how to dress himself smartly
  • A beer / lager drinker
  • Non smoker
  • Wears smart jeans, shirt and a V-neck jumper
  • Gets ready in 17 minutes
  • Stylish
  • Wants a family
  • Earns £48,000 ($72,000) a year
  • Loves shopping
  • Eats meat
  • Clean shaven
  • Smooth chest
  • Watches soaps
  • Enjoys watching football
  • Drives an Audi
  • Educated to a college degree level
  • Earns more than she does
  • Jokes around and has a laugh
  • Sensitive when she is upset
  • Tells her he loves her only when he means it
  • Admits it when he looks at other women
  • Holds a driving license
  • Can swim
  • Can ride a bike
  • Can change a tire
  • Telephones his mother regularly
Drat! Still no mention of copulatory activity ... what's up with these British women?

"Most" important? Not for you U.K. women, apparently. Although I did notice that "Single / Unmarried" did not appear on either list, so maybe all hope is not lost for men visiting the U.K. without their wives ...

:lol:

It seems that want a bloke who is either gay or metrosexual. Seems that they can do without the copulatory activity.

This Article on the "People Skills Decoded" website, seeks to present four basic answers to the question "What Do Women Want In a Man?"

The answers presented are:

  • Confidence: They are comfortable in their own skin and they like themselves as they are. Consequently, they are sociable, they are genuine in social interactions, they are persistent and they don’t take crap from anybody. And women quickly pick up on this and it involuntarily generates attraction.
  • Masculine Energy: There is a wide range of characteristics that are generally masculine: decisiveness, dominance (not the same as aggressiveness), firm voice tone, strong eye contact, seeking challenge, having clear goals and ambitions in life, perseverance, practical thinking, being protective, achieving status, and so on.
  • Good Social Skills: Maybe they are funny or they are very fluent verbally. Maybe they are charismatic or they know how to make a girl feel special. Maybe they are good listeners or mesmerizing story tellers. Or maybe they have a mix of these qualities.
  • An Interesting Lifestyle: Men don’t need to have a James Bond lifestyle, but it does prove tremendously helpful if there are just a few elements in his life that make it un-ordinary, above average, and exciting. They make it interesting and then women feel the natural urge to be a part of it, and to be with him.
There is more useful information in the article, but these four traits seem to be what makes the difference, all else being equal.

Now, how do I answer this without being hounded for being sexist but at the same time being honest.

I wish that woman becomes a billionaire with that book.

The lists of requirements the women had were horrible. I had lists like that when i was younger and more immature. Then i realised what was relevant and redid the long list into a short list and let everything else up to chance.

Example: Who cares if a girl does not like Startrek? Is that really more important than to have someone to cuddle with?

http://www.peopleskillsdecoded.com/shy-guys/

I found this article online about people skills.

To me, all this coach is focusing on is the person's attitude, faulty thinking, conclusions and confidence.

I have found this article as well. http://www.wrongplanet.net/forums-posti ... 25224.html

Quote:
Most problems related to being socially inept will take care of themselves if you become more confident.


How is this so? How does confidence remove problems? Wouldn't removing the problems and teaching the skills necessary produce confidence? To me confidence, is an effect of ability and success not the other way around. Feelings of confidence is an emotional state that is produced by positive experiences and ability.

http://www.peopleskillsdecoded.com/shy-guys/

How do the shy guys derive their limiting erroneous beliefs in the first place?
How do they conclude that they are losers?
How do they conclude that they are sexually unattractive?

The workplace preaches this. The average joe preaches this and even some aspies on here seems to believe this without question. I see no rational basis for this belief of confidence producing positive experience and ability. Attitude does not produce ability. Attitude and confidence is not some muscle you can voluntarily flex. Positivity and confidence are by products of ability and positive experiences.

Those who I have asked to justify these beliefs including some aspies have never been able to do so. Sometimes they'll just restate the belief. It is almost impossible to have a coherent discussion with those who espouse this belief.
