First. YOU piss off kid! I have a right to post here.
Actually, you're right...
You DO NOT own this thread! You DO NOT control the thread. If you post a thread, EXPECT alternate opinions. I never crapped on you, but I'm very close after your quoted post.
What I've proposed is actually 'honest discussion'. If you read it as a "egotest" then YOU are the idiot, not me.
True..... let's have some play-by-play....
If you want to "talk to the ladies" in private then do through pm and don't be embarrassed when another guy reads your post. Christ, you have same damn post in another forum anyway! So quit flamin me!
Adressing Jenscat's response:
How is that one of my "shortcomings"? That I don't think I live up to that standard? Geez there's a catch 22, if I say I don't live up to that def-I have shortcomings. If I say i do-i'd be about 5 hat sizes larger! I never tried to fit myself into that mould that was proposed. I don't need to, cause there is no "mould" anyway.
Well, I wasn't trying to say you had this particular shortcoming.....since I don't know you, really......... but it seemed to me you got defensive by your post, so I was seeing that defensiveness as a sort of feeling weak on your part or maybe a shortcoming....if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong...
I can however (and did) try to fit the rest of the folks I know into it (or at least how I see them). Which is what I was doing in my response.
I don't know your husband, never even knew you were married. He didn't, and doesn't enter into what I said.
All I am saying is that I question the broad and all encompassing nature of the definition. I think it is a wish list more than any reality.
Well, while it technically is "all encompassing" I don't see being a responsible person, caring, humane, etc person as being unattainable..... maybe it's a sign of maturity.... I don't see those qualities as being "perfect" and being "perfect" to me is a misnomer, as in, it's not possible and a constantly changing, ever impossible standard to meet..... and having "failings" doesn't make one less perfect, it makes them human, and what makes a person is being able to learn from said mistakes & grow from them.....
My god the folks on this thread are touchy! I can't help but notice I attacked no one in my post, but the two replies either shit on me or tell me I have shortcomings in my personality.
So much for an open minded discussion!
Definition of a Woman men would actually want:
She needs to be intelligent, responsible, sense of humor, sense of self, awareness of othes, respect for others and herself, love of her mother/father, be able to communicate. Physically speaking, must respect her own body, (for me) must have some shape & discipline in her maintenance of her body, habits & hygiene. As far as ups & downs, be able to discuss issues, share in decisions, be open to interesting / creative solutions, agree to disagree when appropriate & not carry grudges. Revel in the good times, appreciate & learn from the bad times and remember them relative to the good times.
Also helps if she has a job, meets her obligations, has her own house (i.e. doesn't live w/ parents or weird ditzy girlfiriend from college) has her own car w/ air conditioning (i.e. doesn't want to drive mine). Also appreciated if she keeps a well-maintained lawn "down below".
Now that reads almost sexist to me. If the thread had started with that, I'd hazard a guess that there would be another "flavour" to this discussion.
