Good up to date list of what Men really want with women

[MayflowerMadam]

“or calling everything ‘amazing!’”

“Awesome” is worse, IMO.

[stevio]

I agree with all of them.

She has to pass the door lock test (see movie Bronx tail)

[MPJackal]

1. Has a penis.

[sit-rep]

Look over my shoulder at the same person more than 3 times and you’re being left there at the place alone...

[sit-rep]

My all time favorite line on young women!!

When they walk by close and say “excuse me...”, I love to lean in and quietly say...”don’t worry, I don’t smell anything!”.. the initial looks are priceless. And the ones who bust out laughing are the keepers!!

[Varsity Flight]

Another:

... evasive

[sit-rep]

Right... IIRC they kinda faded off during the Clinton years!

[Churchillspirit]

If a female is allowed to contribute to this thread.....

Had a friend who tried to impress her boyfriends by tearing a telephone directory in two.

She lost more beaux that way....

[dfwgator]

In my day, “Dinner and a Show”, meant McDonald’s and Hawaii Five-O.

[FLT-bird]

Several of these are accurate. A few not so. My ex fiance had short hair. That wasn’t a problem for me.

[dfwgator]

Do you give them "The Test"?

[BrandtMichaels]

So do you know, why do women (often?) always try to change men? I got cold feet with one who tried to change me before even a 1st kiss, most wait until marriage I do believe.

[BrandtMichaels]

Fairly comprehensive list but how about my question is post 55?

Unrealistic expectations (double standards) comes close but usually those trying to change you aren’t hypocrites too.

[neverevergiveup]

That’s very sad, but a great story about the love your grandfather had for you and about the inevitability of loss. You are part of his legacy.

[MeanWestTexan]

That would be a leftist. Already covered.

[Az Joe]

bump

[Mr. Jeeves]

Men are incurable romantics: we still expect to some day rescue the damsel in distress and we still make the gigantic mistake of ascribing virtues to a new woman we meet based solely on the way she looks.
