Next time a man throws you an admiring glance, hes probably just heard the intelligent things youve been saying. Many women will find it hard to believe, but new research suggests men increasingly value intellect and character in a partner over a shapely figure. However, women now tend to be more interested in a mans looks than before, and less preoccupied by their wealth as they are able to depend on themselves financially.

    The single best ladies man that I knew growing up was just barely taller than I am. At 54, he was a lady killer par excel-lance . He got more women than my best bud whos 63 and myself put together.Women still value facial asthetics #1 over anything else. 
10/10 face,unfit body>>>>>>average face/fit body>>>>>>>>>ugly face/body of a a god.

    I guess I’m going to have to learn to trust you. Both daughter and spouse agreed that the guy in your pic pegged the hotness meter.

    There are always a few of those. I don’t think I have ever been rejected by a woman shorter than I am though. Of course, there aren’t that many women shorter than I am either. I realized early that I like leggy blondes, so I pursued leggy blondes.

    i also call BS.
Men admire the intelect of a woman smart enough to know she better not look old. smart enough to get plastic surgery.

    rich guy is dating 3 women...blond,redhead,brunette.
 He can't decide which one he should marry, so he puts them to an investment test.
 The blond turned 10k into 20k. The redhead turns 10k into 21k.
 The brunette turns 10k into 22k.
 So which did the guy marry ?
 the one with the biggest boobs.

    I’m calling BS on that. If you truly love your wife, you won’t even notice as she gets old.

Geez I even tell my friends they can only forward me pictures of lovely women in various states of undress..even in an election season...Don't get me wrong I love looking at 8.5+/10 but if I had the choice to marry a dumb as phuck, bat shiite 9/10 airhead versus a 5/6/10 smart, confident, strong, athletic/fit, best friend who shared interest was the same as mine(ok I just described my gf) well you know who I would marry.
 
To: trailhkr1
    I agree. I am attracted to the 8.5-10’s. I think most folks marry based on many more things than physical attraction..

    How many terabytes of info is that page going to load? I’ve been waiting three minutes for it to finish (got DSL here) and it’s still furiously loading things.

    I agree with anothet poster. This is BS.

    Do you think more 20-something women are dating guys over 40 now?No...it's the other way around..my GF is much older than me..but we met doing a shared a hobby (gym/fitness/running), became best friends and went from there...
 
To: central_va
    Being 58 myself there is a height requirement with some women.FYI - You're taller than most guys in Central and South America, and the women are smoking hot. 
Cheers and good hunting!

 Didn't even have to look to see that a man did NOT write the article.
