There was a thread around here that showcased some TED video which had some male speaker talking about how modern men are pathetic because they would rather have an iPad than a woman. After reading this list, I'm starting to understand why men are flocking to electronics.

what, an A2?

after rent+other expenses, if living in a big city...i am not sure.

somewhere rural, or midwest, ok, i could see it happening.

Audis start in the 30's brand new. I could afford that with a mortgage and I don't make 77k.

don't live like a complete idiot and you could rock an A6. It is all about being responsible. though obviously the more you make the more you want to spend on frivolous stuff

3D women are so hard to understand… (´・ω・`)

Beer drinker seems really out of place there. There's no benefit to a woman if a guy drinks.

The question was probably "which alcoholic beverage would your ideal man drink" and anything other than beer probably wouldn't have been deemed masculine enough.

Just speculation though, whole list is stupid imo.
 
I am 16 of those things, so just over half! It's a shame none of the women I've met around here have many qualities I like, though...

Also, 17 minutes... I'd love to hear how they came to that conclusion.

I have all.. but these..

That's fine.. I find women who don't want a family.

Most girls seem to love my not-smooth but not overly hairy chest.

Soap Operas? Good lord.. I would not date a girl who watches Soaps, so that's fine.

I hate watching football, and don't really like the type of girl who is in to guys who like football.

I don't drive an Audi, but I do drive an Infiniti, and am probably going to buy an Audi S5 soon.

I don't have a degree, but I started my career at 19 or so without one, and make several times the average degree holder.

My Mom is dead, so I can't call her.. hah! I think I get an out on that one.

This list is a combination of typical good qualities, and really dorky ones.
 
Oh wait.. I don't have brown eyes.

But I have color changing green-blue-gray eyes..

I also don't wear V-neck anything.. but I do wear nice jeans.

But if youre that responsible about money, why would you buy that expensive of a status symbol? Seems contradictory and makes no sense to me - though i am one cheap and frugal bastard

#YOLO or something.

I admit, i had to look that up. As for the meaning behind that, well, if a person finds buying a fancy luxury car living it up, then whatever. Personally, id rather just buy a used ford or toyota and use the money that i save for an awesome vacation.

I made almost precisely that much last year before taxes. Perhaps I could provide some perspective. What's an A6 cost?

*looks it up*

Starting at 58k? That's insane. I'd have to work for a year to afford one if I bought nothing else. In practice, that's over 2 years worth of savings.

I can't afford that. I'll have a hard enough time buying a decent home as it is.

Honestly the two things they missed on that list were 'confident' and 'good socially'. If you have those two you can forget most of the others.

Thank goodness for women wanting a smooth chest. Fuck being hairy. It's so primitive.
 
Pretty reasonable except for the V-neck shit. That's right out.
What's up with the V-neck hate in here? Do you guys dislike sweaters in general or does something about a V-neck specifically bother you? Seems strange.

a short, fat, hairy, aryan vegan whose flat broke, dresses poorly, smokes like a chimney and has no sense of humour?
This was the hardest I've laughed on GAF in a long time. Thank you.

For me, buying a prohibitively expensive car would be the definition of living like a complete idiot and spending on frivolous stuff.


#YOLO or something.

Yes, you only live once, which is why you should live for yourself, not vain women who are impressed by status symbols.

It's really just a matter of what you're willing to tolerate long-term. There is nothing worse than a high-maintenance girlfriend that compiles lists of what she thinks her significant other should be/do.

I'm all for people having high standards, but some of the shit on that list is dumb.

i wont disagree that buying a fancy car isnt a dumb move, but there are tons of similarly bad ways to spend money as well. some people love the act of driving and a nice car REALLY makes that activity significantly more enjoyable.

people don't all buy these things for the status symbol of it all.

This list sucks anyway. Who did they ask to? 18 to 99 years old from all over the world?
