His own teeth, or a good replacement set.

Do they all have to be in one location?

I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.

FOR EXAMPLE: One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed.

Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me."

I said "WHAT??!! What was that?!"

So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear... "You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man." She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?"

Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.

The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said lets get a pair for each outfit. We went onto the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you...she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis. I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey." She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation she finally said, "I think this is all
dear, let's go to the cashier."

I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it."

Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled WHAT?"

I then said "honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman." And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?"

Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either but it was worth it...

Rich and hawt, that's me. Too bad I have no intention of getting married. Significant others are annoying. They're all, "pay attention to me!" and "I have feelings!"

Gets annoying fast.

The old adage that women look for wealth in a man appears to be under threat. . .

Agreed. Women like bad guys. Wealthy bad guys just offer and added perk.

1. A job that doesn't include the phrase "do you want fries with that".
2. A mode of transportation that has a motor.
3. Doesn't think foreplay is a golfing term.
4. Knows where Timbuktu is without having to look at a map.
5. Leaves my stuff alone.

My wife says she married me for my "earning potential." She also does well at the roulette wheel. Go figure. I was an ugly poor college student strugling to work my way through. I'm still ugly :o), but not so much struggling.

I know the feeling. As a older teen and then in my 20s, I was continually told that I was too nice a guy. I was told that a woman wants to be smacked around to prove that the man cares.

This is why I didn't marry until nearly 30. I am alergic to idiots.

Bill Gates = sexiest man alive. I'd date him. And I'm a guy. And not even gay.

Not true, my husband was unemployed when we met. The company he worked for relocated to another state and he could not move at the time.

I send him a birthday card every year with my picture (at least as I was when I was 29), and an offer of marriage.

So far, he's not responded.

Hope springs eternal

Anecdotal evidence neither proves nor disproves fact.

Besides, "...when you ain't got nothin', you got nothin' to loose."

Well, I'm looking for someone who doesn't want me to jump start his pacemaker, check is blood pressure or asks me if my CPR training is up to date.

Bug squashing is VERY important. That may be in my top three.

So, your perfect man is a North African truck driver living in Mali?
