.Whatever women want, it is not a guy who:

1) Can (and does) hold a well-paying job
2) is intelligent
3) is thin and very healthy, eats right and exercises regularly
4) Has a fully-intact,fully-functional, disease-free body with no deforming scars
5) Has great self-discipline, no addictions, and lives a well-rounded and balanced lifestyle
6) Acts with integrity and compassion.
7) Takes no for an answer, treats her with respect, never gets abusive (nor passive-aggressive).
8) Listens with interest, values her opinions, accepts constructive criticism well.
9) Is trained (and generous) in massage.

Though women insist they want all of these things, and complain incessently when their boyfriends don’t have them…they never start with these things when evaluating potential mates. It generally starts with:

1) good looks.
2) charismatic personality.
3) seems dangerous in some way.

Yes, I am bitter.
