Single men assume women are only drawn to tall, dark and handsome dates - but according to these Australians, it's much more than good looks.
Dating coach Louanne Ward, from Perth, has prompted a discussion in her Facebook group, She Said He Said, asking female members to list the traits they find most attractive in a potential partner.
'Ladies, could men be right in thinking getting a date is harder if they aren't measuring up in the looks and height department?' she wrote in a thread.

I would say this....men are really big on looks and youth. They’d like a good personality too but will settle for a woman who at least doesn’t drive them crazy so long as she has the first two and is loyal. Call that shallow if you will but most guys will be honest about what they want.
Women...are really big into looks and status/money. They will say all sorts of secondary things matter to them most like his sense of humor, confidence blah blah blah. But the reality is his appearance and status/money are the primary things they look to - they just don’t want to admit it.
Warning: I’m also a fan of Frankie Yankovic (same last name, but no relation to Weird Al). So you might get some “UHF” lines. Or you might get the "Just Because" polka lyrics.
Yep. One of my best friends is 5’5’. Great guy etc etc but he had the same problem. Height is part of looks/appearance that women claim is not that important to them but which in reality is very important to them.
Guys know this just as women know how much men value youth even if men are reluctant to admit it. The stark reality is that once a woman hits 30, a lot of men are not really going to consider her anymore unless she can offset that by being extremely attractive.
Hang on Blue, I’m chatting up Leaning Right right now.
Amuse yourself with this while we see how this goes.

OHmylanta! I love Polka! :D In a past life I was an event planner for a local but large annual festival and hired Polka Caller DJ’s. It was a hit from old to young and hip to nerds like me.
I’m pretty short, but when I was single I never had trouble getting a date. In fact, women would often ask me out after they got to know me a little. It probably didn’t hurt that I wasn’t ugly and was otherwise well built rather than scrawny. And even though I wasn’t rich, I was gainfully employed. I think that being gentlemanly, kind, and having a good sense of humor go a long way. And women like feeling safe with a guy, too, so giving the impression of calmness and stability is important.
Well said. Good observations.
So very true.
Yes, confidence is a big one, even if you have to fake it a bit sometimes. A woman wants to see a man as strong — that’s just nature.
I am also female.
This woman agrees with you — except for the massage parlor part.
“ then how do we decide which one gets to enjoy a double standard..?”
That was decided when God created woman. But trust me on this. If you see to her needs first it won’t be long before she is seeing to yours.
And if she doesn’t, move along.

Egads. Sorry I asked.
I feel very old.
::But he was short. Could not get a date.::

Betting he didn’t ask out short girls.
I am a tall woman... well, I used to be before I got old... and I was above average in looks. Can’t tell you how many times I had short guys ask me to dance. I would dance with them because I always thought it was rude to refuse, but I was not interested in dating them.
That woman is SCRAWNY!
:)
Money is the deciding factor.
Women are attracted to a man who smells of gun oil, chainsaw oil, or sawdust.
An ideal man is tall, a knows how to sharpen a knife.
