Shallow Men And The Women Who Suffer (The Male Lust For The Supermodel Perfect Mate Alert)

Oooh, you said tits. I'm telling your mother.

[derllak]

The media ordained it. In renaissance times the more robust women were the idea of perfection (just check out the paintings) - not an anorexic, oversized boob chick to be found.
Think about THAT carefully!

[Pukin Dog]

The only hope a woman has is finding a man who knows enough about evolutionary psychology to despise his own genetic programming.

Truer words, never written.

[Melas]

The good Rabbi is right on the target. His only sins (in this article) are sins of ommission. I would be very surprised if this dominance of superficial dating criteria was solely a male attribute. Just as surely as this phenomenon exists outside the Jewish community, it exists in females as well as males.

This is a particularly American problem, and a particularly 21st century American problem at that. I don't know what the answer is, but the problem is more than evident.

OK, I'll settle for a little less then [sadly putting away the parachute].

[Smarti Pants]

Now hey, I went on a date once with this guy - and out of the blue, he does a double-take, looks at me & says: "wow, you really are intelligent, aren't you" - like I should be dumb?

No, I'm not Jewish. Yes, I didn't bother seeing him again.

It's not male hating to state the obvious sometimes - just take a look at your television set, the magazines off the shelf. It's what sells. (and yeah, I know, there are men who aren't like that, Thank God!)

Few women are interested in marrying a hunk. They're more astute judges of people's deportment and character.

If I'd gotten a dollar for every girl who had dumped me in earlier years, only to come back after realizing they guy she'd gone for was a narcissistic loser...well, then maybe I'd have had enough dollars to afford all the kids of jerks I would have been raising for them!

I dated one that was a little prettier than the one in that picture, but she looked very similar and she wasn't silicone at all.
This is California, and I'm sure there is no lack of women who feel the need for enhancement though.

I think what will give me the biggest laughs here in California regarding the strange things some people do to themselves are all the old heavy metal hippies who tattooed their heads in the hair line and now they are going bald.
Nothing like an old guy with "bad Ass" tattooed on their bald head while needing Depends.

Men are not looking for a dream-woman, just someone who doesn't come with their own zip-code, who can cook, knows when to shut up, and a few other things. Women no longer think that most of that is necessary anymore

It's not that it's not necessary, maybe it's just that your sales pitch needs work.

[Roverman2K]

I am agreeing here as well, most women do not know what they want after all the BS on the TV, but one thing that has changed is the way society has made men subservient to women, the entire gay culture is popular because women like it that way, or so they think.
These days, the last 30 years, men can only make women happy by doing what ever they say, no one is happy now.

[Melas]

Wow, that sounds more than just a little bitter.

[Pukin Dog]

That's not a sales pitch as I would never consider marriage, even to a dream-woman. Its just the truth about what men would consider accepting in a woman, but is no longer available.

[A CA Guy]

If only I could clone myself...then all manly men would be happy.

Well God bless you for a wonderful great idea. :)

[JohnnyZ]

But I now find matchmaking nauseating thanks to the dispiriting superficiality of today's Jewish men. I now know that the countless men who tell me how desperate they are to find a really nice girl are lying through their teeth because what they really mean is a woman who looks like a model.

The same thing can easily be said for women, though to be fair they place much more value on money and less on looks, relative to men.

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, you get what you're willing to put into it.

[ExtremeUnction]

Take a look at what young women are signing off on these days. Where in the past people urged them to do things that weren't right, today's women have minds of their own, and most guys are powerless to tell them anything.,

The easiest way to get babes is to "pretend" that you are a liberal. Bookstores in college towns are the best venue to apply this technique, bars in college towns are a close second. Anyway, pick out a girl that you are attracted to, try to determine if she is a, "free-thinking modern woman", then make your move. Oh, you will have study up on current liberal issues and B.S., but I guarantee that it will work 95% of the time!

Then how do all those hot chicks end up on the back of motorcycles with drugged out maggot invested boyfriends.

Is it the vibration of the bike or what?

[elcid1970]

We're still digging for the truth. What set of synapses moved the media to prescribe the tiny-waisted boob chick? I'm not looking for conflict here. Just which primal instinct created the impossibly figured Barbie doll?

But I do believe that young women of normal body weight have the best chance of attracting mates.

But just who defines normal body weight?

(Hint: Ann Coulter [sorry no photos!] once referred to the large number of `hippie chick pie wagons' in our midst, especially among Democrats.)

[COEXERJ145]

The sad thing is there are plenty of women who have the same attitude. They want a guy who has the body of a Chippendale and anyone less is shunned.
