Forget boobs and long legs: what men really look for in women

Telegraph (UK) ^

[null and void]

It’s always been a source of amusement...

[Do the math]

I met my wife on a blind date set up by a Cristian friend. He was at a party, and when he met her he felt as if GOD wanted us to be together. Now I am not a boob man, but when I met her lets just say that she had some damn healthy 'lungs'. She had a large moment of inertia, and was dynamically unstable. I was surprised that little girl didn't fall flat on her face when she stood up. I did not marry her boobs, and I certainly didn't marry her for her brains. I married her because I loved her, and we have been married over 30 years.

Looking for in a wild night’s grind, or someone likely to hatch offspring with IQ’s above room temp, and who you might have to rely on to balance the family check book twenty years downstream? Different horses for different courses.

But Laz, you like to laugh. That takes wit, which means smarts. (pun intended)

For me, Intelligence, Beauty, Freak Level. Amy from “Big Bang Theory”, does nothing for me.

"Yes Janet. A quiet, shy girl. An honours graduate from Harvard University, American junior sprint record holder, ex-world skating champion, Nobel Prize winner, architect, novelist and surgeon. The girl who helped crack the Oppenheimer spy ring in 1947. She gave vital evidence to the Senate Narcotics Commission in 1958. She also helped to convict the woman at the chemist's in 1961, and a year later (cut to Janet shaking hands with a police commissioner) she gave police information which led to the arrest of her postman. In October of that same year (cut to photo of Janet with a judge and a policeman standing on either side of her smiling at the camera) she secured the conviction of her gardener for bigamy and three months later personally led the police swoop (cut to Janet in a street with goggles of policemen clustering round her grinning at the camera and two people obviously naked with blankets thrown over them) on the couple next door."

Good summary, Laz. Now about that Cambridge professorship....apparently there is a career path in studying the finer points of women.....

[dhs12345]

Simply put: it all depends on what a man wants; a one night stand or a long term relationship. And this evolves throughout a man’s lifetime.

Also maturity plays a big role in a long term relationship.

Those puppies are too saggy for me. They’re halfway down her chest. She needs a bra and a breast lift imo. I rate them as 6.5 ....ok 7

Chick on the left would seduce you, then destroy you.

Chick in the middle hates everything, especially men.

Chick on the right would make a fine wife.

I agree, Laz.

I'll tell you what attracted me to my wife (in addition to being beautiful). I was at a very low point in my life; some people I'd thought were friends had turned against me. She came up, on her own, and told me "Don't listen to them! You're a good person!"

I knew at that moment she was the one. That was over 35 years ago... :-)

The photo I posted in 66 seems to have vanished, at least temporarily. I was in love with her as a kid after seeing her in Samson and Delilah, w/ Victor Mature. Great film.

Here it is again.

I can see this as well. Years ago I was in charge of a document control area in a company where I worked. A very attractive woman had to work with me in my small office for about a week to implement a new computer system. All the guys were envious and there were jokes about how lucky I was. And this woman was absolutely gorgeous. I could not wait for her to get out of my office. I literally could not have any real conversation with her and it was beyond annoying.

Lol Laz, that comment came pretty quick.

Personally, brains, legs, boobs and bum are good heh.

The article lost me when it stated in the fourth paragraph, “It may explain why a man like George Clooney ended up marrying human rights barrister Amal Alamuddin.”

First thing... George Clooney is a great actor, he is like Marlon Brando, “dumber than a box of hammers”. He is a complete and total leftist global warming worshipping wing nut who does not normally behave in a rational way. Whether it is heaping praise or raising money for Hillary or Obama on most every subject you can depend on him to always parrot the communist party line.

But second, his wife Amal is 17 years his junior which makes her much older than the women George typically pursues. Miley Cirrus is much closer to his normal prey. While I am certain that Amal shares his political views and can only be described as very pretty... this still looks a lot like something set up by the studios and George’s PR people. Amal does come from a family with multiple ties to terrorist organizations. So George probably should treat her right, although the Middle Eastern culture she comes from places a low value on women. So he is probably still free to pursue girls in their late teens and early twenties on the side.

Third, one of the premises of the article was that men pick smart women because they feel that they will make better mothers to their children. But according to the tabloids, “George Clooney has no intention of getting his wife Amal Alamuddin pregnant, and it will be a miracle if the couple makes it to the one-year wedding anniversary without getting a divorce. The actor and attorney can’t seem to agree on anything, but the one fight that is single-handedly destroying their marriage is whether or not they will have a baby and start a family. Amal Alamuddin isn’t exactly a young woman and her biological clock is ticking – but George Clooney has made it very clear that he doesn’t want his wife to get pregnant, and even admitted that he doesn’t want kids in a recent interview.”

LOL. That’s because once you found it you’ll stop looking.

I was at a bar and saw a girl who was wearing a Jewish star, was drinking beer from a bottle and dancing like Elaine from Seinfeld. Not a stunner, not ugly, not fat, not thin. Turned to my friend and said, “Perfect!” I am marrying her.

We have been married 25 years.

[gop4lyf]

Well, my wife has a great rack and is way, way more intelligent than me. Not only that, she makes a heck of a lot more money than I do as well. To top it all off, she is a Cajun gal and can cook like you wouldn’t believe. You may all be jealous now. :)

[fireman15]

Regardless of how you describe her to us... I hope you still tell your wife that she is the most beautiful woman in the world. Because it sounds like for you she is... true beauty is far more than what shows on the outside.
