Tell me girls, what do you want in a guy?
Politics might be BS, but the values that someone holds are not. And our political beliefs tend to correspond with our values so...
I wouldn't dump a guy for voting for the "wrong guy/girl" but it would factor in our overall compatibility at least to some extent. For instance I went out with a guy who told me later on that he voted for Bush. It made my stomach turn, but I got over it enough. Still, that relationship died within a couple of months..
well I honestly could not have sex with someone who voted for UKIP, I just couldnt
Au contraire, mon ami mécanique!
I've learned that any given woman's actions will contradict what they say they want.
They say they want "nice guys" but hook up with "bad boys."
They say they want "sensitive men" but freak out when their man cries or melts down.
They say they a man's wealth is unimportant, but then they refuse to be the sole breadwinner in the relationship.
There seems to be a great void between what desires a women may express in a post, and what women actually do in the real world.

Yep. MANY women, especially NT women, are incredibly dishonest. But I have to wonder what advantage women get from lying about what they want from men. Perhaps they think they can "tame" those bad bays so that they will treat their women well while still maintaining the qualities that attract women.

Well, since you're convinced that you have women all sorted out, why do you feel the need to comment? In fact, why are you even on the "Love and Dating" forum? I thought you were already married...
While you may be right about some women, what you fail to take into account, Fnord, is that not all women are the same or want the same things. I know this because my parents were a complete reversal of "traditional" gender roles (and yes, they were very happy and stayed together.) So repeating the same stereotypes about women over and over doesn't really accomplish anything. I don't see why we have to turn every thread into a woman-bashing thread.

you dont collect daggers or swords do you
Which would you rather have: a woman-bashing thread, a man-bashing thread, or a thread in which men and women get together to bash one person while they find common ground with each other?
Sometimes, a person's only purpose in life is to provide a bad example.

I agree with lotus to some extent about the politics thingy.
-An atheist guy like me won't be able to live with a Hezbollah girl for instance. Since my grand family (excluding parents and siblings) is shiite and since most of them are Hezbollah supporters they tried a lot to arrange me with some veiled girl hezbollah-supporter , I had to turn them down many times. Hezbollah is not simply a political party, it's a lifestyle and religious ideology.
-And I surely won't date a girl member of the SSNP , those Nazi bastards don't believe in the very foundation of Lebanon and want it to be a part of an imaginary empire :the greater Syria. They call Lebanon as 'state of lebanon'.
Just let me quote one of Saade principles , the founder of the SSNP ...just for fun:
case of the Canaanites who colonized Africa considered Negroes
and Libyans to be of lesser breeds ; Carthage fell at a later
stage at the hands of the Romans, a superior race at par with
that of the Canaanite Syrians".
Further, we see "the Arabs allowing under Islamic Sharia,
copulation with all races and peoples ......in Africa which did
not result in any real civilization, unlike that of Carthage of
the Syrian Canaanites, because the granting of equal rights to
all peoples made the Arabs lose some of their racial ingredients and
vitality which were gained by the Africans , but between the lifting of the
African racial mix and the lowering of the
Arabs' , a middle mix was created that was closer to the lower
or decadent racial mix,"- from "The Ten lectures" pp-71-72.
how the hell I would date one of those?
Besides,he SSNPers were also strong pro-Syrian occupation and were tools of assassinations and prime allies with Hezbollah and they still well-armed.
- I surely won't date a girl whose' a member of the "islamic liberation party", those believe that all Islamic countries must be a one Umma and Christians and Jews would be Dhimmis. IMAO, enough said.
-There's no way that I would date a Baath girl since all Baaths are followers of the Syrian regime and local espionage tools for it.
- I might tolerate a communist girl but I would be very wary , it depends.
One major reason for not dating people of above parties is that in case of an another civil, the parties above would be the coalition of the rival side.
Somebody willing to play with me! I hate not having anyone to play video games or watch Maury with. It is made out of EPIC NO.
I've also have had this fantasy of brushing my Schmoo's (yush, I shall nickname any boyfriend I may have Schmoo) hair and making it pretty, so for me, long-ish hair that's relativly very straight is a preference.
Actually, I was offering my services. I'll play the bad guy and draw fire while the rest of you hash things out.

Very interesting,
Not only did I get girls to respond to this thread discussion, but guys as well it seems. I want to thank LePetitPrince for amusing me by vicariously living through an aspie woman's body. Bravo! I also want to thank John Hopkins for the humorous cartoon he posted.
It seems like you girls pretty want all the same thing: A nice, kind guy who listens to what you have to say and can be sensitive and macho as well. Perhaps there really isn't much of a distinction between what aspiettes want and what neurotypical girls/women want. But I can not help to be extremely humored, at how often girls either go for overly confident guys or jerks. No, those two terms are not synonymous with each other. I can understand to a certain degree, you girls want guys that are exciting and different than the stereotypical nice guy. You've grown up always being nice (I assume for the most part), and you're ready to try something new that won't bore you. You also like guys who are confident in themselves and assertive and open with you. I am stating what I believe you girls want, which may or may not be accurate, but this is merely my interpretation of the matter. Yet I find it hilarious how a lot of you go for the exact opposite often, how ironic. Consider me somewhat cruel, but it is very fitting that for one foolish choice, a lot of girls pay the price of having their emotions hurt. This "having your heart broken" thing is a myth, hearts were meant to be broken to teach us how to pick up the pieces and put them back together.
Isn't that a very masochistic way of learning? I've always been wary of people who encourage you to embrace mistakes and learn from them. There must be a gentler way to go through life.

carturo222,
I understand that my statement was less than tactfully put together. But here is my earnest belief, people will typically act on their own beliefs and ideas to a certain situation. You might give them advice, and if they are wise, they will try to utilize it. I think it is only when you're lost something valuable and worthwhile that you realize the severity of your mistake.
I speak in the sense of women mostly. I've heard stories that guys have talked about about attractive girls running off to nice guys after a break up and asking "What went wrong? What did I do for him to break up with me?" A nice guy can say "You're dating the wrong type of guys and that is why you're being hurt and dissapointed". Now tell me, is the girl honestly going to believe what the nice guy says? She would sooner hold on to her beliefs and ideas than change more than likely. She will probably continue to date jerks into it finally clicks and makes sense, "Oh that's what he meant!". Until that time, it is broken heart central. We only can fully learn when we've been kicked down enough.
