That’s what women go after these days?!?! :eek: What about the men in their early/mid 20’s who like their women to,

Always be a laugh (don’t have stupid mood swings)
Clearly look after themselves (not fat)
Don’t have any tie downs (no kids)
Have a job or career prospects (not a dole dosser)

These are more realistic and not aiming high but extremely hard to find.

Yep I agree with the OP's point. A large proportion of young women in this country want the proverbial moon on a stick from their men, yet fail to offer up anything like half as much in return. To a large extent it is thanks to Hollywood and soft-focus, syrupy American dramas like Dawson's Creek, 90210 et al giving them false expectations as to how to expect their men to behave.

It's interesting you say that as my mrs has this kind of thing, except a complete role reversal. She looks after me is very thoughtfull and tidys up and washes up for me (and she doesnt live with me. I'd like to point out I try to stop her but she feels she has to do it for some reason). And in return she has me, who does the occasional nice thing when I think about it.

not that I have found. either you are in the wrong city or looking in the wrong circles. parts of the alternative/metal circles in southampton have quite a few women like that

what about a tick box for the ladies ? would it be shorter ?

anal ?
make me a sandwich ?

Personally, which is probably not very representative of most males, mine is:

I must find them attractive (with killer eyes being a big sway).

They must not be vacuous bimbos.

They must have a similar sense of humour, and be able to be silly and have the confidence to laugh at themselves.

They must not hate dance music.

They should have hobbies or means to keep themselves occupied without me. I like me time to do my own things, and a common theme with 'high maintenance' women is the lack of any past-times, thus needing constant micro-management.

Affectionate and enjoy a healthy sex-life.

They should not expect the man to pay for everything. Equality is equality.

Enjoying doing sod all, especially lazing in the sun, is a must!

Go to pof.com , and check some "ladies" profiles

6 foot midget with 1 leg , who is into rock climbing white water rafting
Must have own car/teeth/home , into tattos and body piercings ......

Some are so specific its beyond a joke

In fairness, I would agree with the OP, especially in Britain, where lets face it, the ratio of mingers is pretty damn high. Obviously everyone needs their own self respect, but when this short fat ugly ass woman is bleating about wanting this that and the other, yet can't even be arsed to make herself a bit more presentable and look after her own body.....

lol so you've noticed this too. Does make me laugh when some of those fat ugly things with hygeine problems come out with a stupidly long list of requirements, as if any decent guy is going to look at a girl who clearly has no self respect. Now don't get me wrong not everyone is stunningly good looking with a great shape etc. but you have to be seen to be making an effort and at least looking after yourself otherwise no self respecting potential single person is going to take notice of you. /rant

as for in general i'm not sure all women do have some stupidly long list of requirements. Obviously speaking from my limited experience (only being 20 myself) i find that most girls i speak to aren't terribly specific, normally someone they can "talk" to (what is meant by this i am unsure), reasonably attractive and will treat them right (another of these vague terms).

As for "cosmo women" i believe i have encountered these creatures before and i find them hugely irritating yet strangely fascinating as they all seem to have a rhino body guard of a friend. :p

I'm not sure i'd fair well on these tick boxes

Cosmo women seem to develop after the age of 24 for some reason.

seriously though, cause this is a serious thread and i wasn't being serious.

i will be happy with a girl that just likes me exactly how i am (i know you want to cry now)

also if she is not ugly. hot would be preferred but not essential. (prefer shorter and smaller than me)

doesn't even have to have similar interests. but has to be intelligent to the level where she realizes that TV is bull****. no american idol watching, cosmo reading... (you see why i am single) and no dirty hippy girls either.
