I love how there is always such a discrepancy between what women want and what they end up with. Keep dreaming ladies, keep dreaming.

 

[navii]

if i live with my mom, do i still have to call her?

 

[Kitsunebaby]

I watched Passions for a bit. It was so out there it was good.

I haven't been able to enjoy any American soaps, but Indian tellywood serials are fucking addictive. Wish comcast would give me my zeetv back.

This ties into what I was saying earlier.

 

[freenudemacusers]

that's at the bottom of the list for a reason...

I don't understand.

Try some Korean ones too.

The elephant in the room is that women often complain about being single, yet they have some absurd bullet point list in their head when it comes to dating. Men do the same thing, however, but I believe to a lesser degree.

Didn't she just address this in the post you quoted? Perfect man != man that I would date. I want to be a millionaire, but I don't actually expect that to happen, you know?

30.Calls mom regularly

This is the only one that made me arch an eyebrow. I thought mama's boys were undesirable.

The bolded are either qualities I already have or are qualities I will have in a few years. The non-bolded are things I will probably never attain or just have no god damn interest in attaining.

But hey, at least I'll always be half a perfect man. I'll take it!

Pretty surprised so many women prefer brown eyes. The more you know...

I watched Passions for an episode or two (Read: 2 seasons) because Spike from Buffy loved it.

Yes, I watched a soap opera because of another soap opera.

 

[EviLore]

Pretty reasonable list of ideal desires for the most part (soaps? really?). Obviously in reality you go with your heart and the cards you're dealt to some extent, and write off some of the bullet points unless you yourself have a whole lot to offer.

 

[Kitsunebaby]

Didn't she just address this in the post you quoted? Perfect man != man that I would date. I want to be a millionaire, but I don't actually expect that to happen, you know?.

It's apparently a hard concept to grasp.

This is the only one that made me arch an eyebrow. I thought mama's boys were undesirable.

The general thought is that you have to be on good terms with your mother and treat her respectfully, as it can be an indication of how you treat other women.

But if you're too close to her it's a little creepy.

[DCharlie]

This is the only one that made me arch an eyebrow. I thought mama's boys were undesirable.

I think the underlying premise is that if you are a 6ft+ tall, rich, goodlooking, welldressed stud muffin then calling your mom is seen as a sensitive side thing where as with everyone else it would be "good god he calls his mother EVERY DAY ... let go of the apron strings already!"


Also - are these in order of desirability?

Pretty reasonable except for the V-neck shit

a v-neck would draw more attention to a 6ft tall athletic build hunks awesome physique!

Haha yeah, sorry women, not gonna do this:

Both of these make sense to me. Gracias.

 

[Devolution]

Haha yeah, sorry women, not gonna do this:

That's a deep V neck though.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Haha yeah, sorry women, not gonna do this:

um, that's a (ugly double breasted) cardigan with a crewneck shirt.

 

[DCharlie]

That's a deep V neck though.

yeah , that's more a cardigan than a jumper too.

Push that V up by 50% and that's more what i think we're talking about (and of course make it a jumper!)
