"I'm still a little confused..."

Well, hopefully by now My reflections on the matter have managed to shed some light upon it. Please, return the favour if possible. I would sincerely like to know what women really want in a man, as all the ones I find interesting are either the type most commonly referred to in this thread, spoken for, or not the ones that are most interested in Me. Indeed, the ones I try to discourage are the ones who chase Me the hardest. I would really like to chat with someone of the mindset that you and GirlNextDoor possess, but finding someone of your sort to chat over coffee seems to be one of the more rare occurances in My life. Comments?

Well, yes. Thank you. Now to figure out how to achieve it....

Of course. Most women - I can't answer for them, because largely I don't understand their taste. But personally, first off I look for someone who respects himself enough to maintain a healthy physique and present a groomed, clean appearance (this is not as common as you might think). Body-building isn't necessary, but at least be able to walk a few miles. And clothes, please, be at least clean. That says a lot about a person. Guys who present the "I'm too cool for words" aura don't do it for me. Quiet confidence is far more attractive (that includes straight posture). And it would be a good idea to know how to change a tire. I don't particularly care what beer or wine a man drinks just so long as he doesn't disparage me for my martinis.

Mind wise, I look for intelligence and humor (One can't have really good humor without intelligence). A fair amount of rounded education - meaning both the sciences and the arts/humanities - and a desire to constantly be inproving the mind. I also look for open-mindedness. Nothing drives me more nuts than close-minded people. There's more to life than sports just as there's more to life than the arts. I might be a classical musician, accustomed to dressing in concert black and pearls, but I like a good Talladega-type wreck, penalty shots and plays at the plate, too.

As a fairly religious person (and very serious about my faith)...I hesitate to say much on this score other than there is nothing wrong with being religious. I've seen some very manly men standing in line in church for various sacraments. And that is quite appealing, that they would take this so seriously. Especially in the climate in the church right now.

The only other thing...lose the hair gel.
