Professor David Bainbridge, of the University of Cambridge said that intelligence is by far the most attractive quality for men looking for a long term partner because it demonstrates that his chosen partner is likely to be a responsible parent.

Men value intelligence in women far above large breasts and long legs, a Cambridge evolutionary biologist has claimed. And when I was 16 I read Playboy for the articles. Especially the centerfold articles.

What makes for a successful marriage is that you both have something in common for the other 23 hours and 45 minutes of the day..

Laz has an entire support staff pinging him, MNDude. I help out on an ad hoc basis.
He needs to start a PickUpArtists speed dating PING LIST.
He even commented twice on this thread, giving his read on the three women in the MadMen (?) photo.
Some guys will pay good money for his wisdom.

Some guys will pay good money for his wisdom.Long decades of dating all three types of women I identified have clued me in to the certain signs. Mostly, the expression on their faces. Only the highly-trained woman can mask such a thing.

I think less about that scence and more about the abundant clevage that this movie had like most Hammer Films did at the time. But the gay vampire putting the moves on Roman Polanski is definitly one for the books.

That’s exactly right! For both genders. Kindness trumps everything else.

I am flat out telling you Laz, there is gold in what you know.
Any marketing folks out there? “Laz Lectures the Confused Male On Finding The Right One.”
As to myself, I date the subtype known as “Latinas.” It’s a special type of crazy. On their part and mine.

Complete BS! My ideal woman is one who loves to cook, loves to house clean, loves to do yard work and loves to fetch beer for me.........
I know she's out there somewhere...
