    Yeah, yeah you woman are conning yourself with this nonsense, 'blue eyes' as well is it? No, no, see it before like an old record. Woman might laugh along with the fun guy, but they always go home with the dickhead.

    Especially if the dickhead has a nicely padded bank account.


    By the way... what's wrong with blue eyes.

    I like a sense of humor, kindness and a big {edit}. Cheers!

    (I'm not bitter as I'm married and all that, I go fishing anyway, I'm just not buying all this nonsense. I don't buy it for a second.)
    I didn't even vote in the poll so I can't see the results. {EDIT}
    But I do like how more men are posting on this thread and seem to know what women want than women themselves. I guess the next step is to offer this as proof that women are soooooo complicated

    Because men are a lot less hypocritical than women. Both sexes are driven by primeval passion and want to posses the Alpha male/Female. Men admit this, we want that which is beautiful and superior, not kind or nice or innocent, beautiful and confident. And women are the same way.

    Let we me give an example which I think every guys here will relate too.

    Scenario 1) You don't like a gril and do not give any particular fig about her. You spend the evening making sarcastic remarks, often about her, and behaving with your guys friends as you normally do as if there were no women(a barbarian). End of night. The girl has somehow, against all odds, managed to fall in love with you...

    Scenario 2) For whatever reason there is a girl you actually like. The fact that your interest in not sexual buy beyond that makes you realize that if you mess up there are not others to be had, for she is the only she. This makes you shy and kind and funny in the nice way, you behave like a perfect gentleman in her presence. There is not hint of elfin irony or sarcasm about you. Unlike scenario one you do not think and act as if you are vastly superior to this woman, you treat her like your equal, you treat her like your superior.

    This girl will never like you.


    Men of all ages, do my scenarios speck more truthfully about the wants of women than the poll?

    Haha, no kidding. I wonder, this being a thread on first impressions, does hypothetical woman-bait walk around with his bank statement stapled to his forehead?

    I'm attracted to contentious people, but then I'm contentious myself so that makes sense. I don't have to worry about hurting their feelings and I have more in common with them. I have someone to bounce off of so to speak. I hear most other women insist that they don't like contentiousness, and I can't see inside their heads, so I wouldn't presume to tell them what they "actually think." I couldn't call Pensive, LadyLuck, Buh4Bee, MonaAmon or Helga liars (those who specified that they like "kindness"). They're too sweet and nice, it'd be like stomping on a kitten (except Buh4Bee, I bet that lady can handle her own). And yet, before the second page is over their thread is hijacked by men telling them "what they really think" and you and Neely call them hypocrites and liars without the slightest hesitation. *sigh* Shameless. Is that what a "dickhead" is?

    Anyway, it makes sense for women to like men with more edged personalities (if indeed they do). I don't think this "dominant male" really has anything to do with it, to be a leader you have to be a bit more subtle, you need something besides pure aggression to lead. I've never liked leader types. I doubt they're popular with the general female populace either, no one likes Scott Summers, it's all about Gambit. I don't think it has so much to do with "dominating" other men as it does "strength." If someone is able to communicate honestly without ridgidly adhering to the socially-prescribed rules of behavior, it means they're strong enough that they don't have to stand on ceremony. Loners are popular too, because it takes strength to be alone, whereas "leaders" need followers.

    Oh woman aren't liars or hypocrites necessarily, they are just completely self-deluded, when it comes to this issue at least. They might think they like the humour, nice smile and eyes in a man (whatever nonsense is said) but the reality is quite different. I have seen it too many times over and over again and others have too apparently. So I'm not buying any of that one bit sorry.

    Many women are also potty about men in uniform. Quite what this is about I haven't a clue? Just spread a rumour that there's a few firemen in the building and watch 80% of the women around fall to their knees and drool pathetically, it's quite baffling.

    Because they're strong, masculine and capable, obviously. Also, most places that require a uniform mean you need physical strength, which means nice tight bodies. The firemen in my town are volunteers, and most of them are highschool teachers or my friends' potbellied fathers, so I'm literally repulsed by the idea of firemen in an erotic setting, but I LOVE soldiers. Mmm, the hair, the combats, the dust, the boots and the running and crawling under wires on their knees and elbows...

    So you are speaking in a manner which suggest you do not agree with what I say, yet the substance of your post agrees with everything I said.

    This is true but it cuts both ways. Long ago when I worked for the MoD police as a civilian I was pretty much gone on a couple of the female officers and although their personalities were a strong pull, their uniforms were a great turn on.
    Although it doesn't suit every woman, a trim figure in a well-cut uniform is more than a little erotic. Here's what I mean:

    The most polite soldiers in the world. They ask the bad guy if it's okay to shoot, then sincerely apologize afterwards.

    There are in fact a number of reasons. They are usually slim with small features and I have a thing about high cheek bones and dark eyes, they also have a lovely textured skin and small hands as well as very black hair which, when worn long, is great for running one's fingers through. The only downside is that they don't usually drink, although I have met exceptions among the Japanese. In general I would say that oriental women are more feminine than their western counterparts.
