Ideal Man

Women Say THIS Is the Ideal Man

Women want their men to be manly men! Yes, real men are back--at least in the hearts and desires of real women. In an online survey, The Harris Poll and Dodge Dakota asked 2,131 U.S. adults aged 18 and over, of whom 1,003 were men and 1,128 were women, to describe the ideal man. The answers may surprise and excite you. The ideal man should be dependable instead of fashionable. He spends more time on the house than he does on himself. And he knows how to laugh.

The age-old question is finally answered! What women REALLY want is...

What are the ideal man's characteristics?

92 percent of women want their man to be dependable--someone they can count on.
90 percent of women say their ideal man is low-maintenance and easy-going.
88 percent want a man who will make them laugh.

How should men spend their free time?

72 percent say they want a guy who enjoys spending his free time doing jobs around the house. In other words, he should spend his time hanging a mirror instead of standing in front of one.
41 percent say their ideal is a sports fan.
10 percent want a guy who spends his precious free time shopping for designer clothes.
Only 9 percent are into a man who spends free time with a personal trainer.

Other oddities:

75 percent of women say the ideal man does not buy his shampoo in a salon. No, no, no. He gets it in the same store as he buys milk and eggs.
61 percent want a man with rough, hard-working hands instead of hands that are soft and manicured.
47 percent say their ideal man spends his money on electrical gadgets instead of cosmetics.

Bottom line: Women want a man who works hard, plays hard, and is strong and capable. He should be confident and energetic. He needs to have a good sense of humor--both to be able to make others laugh and to even laugh at his own foibles on occasion.

My Rant

When they say the ideal man should be dependable instead of fashionable, what they are trying to say is that the man should not be overly concerned with his appearance. When you buy clothes, buy clothes that fit (no tight stuff), that look good on you and move on. No popped collars (single layered or double layered) allowed. I just thought I'd mention that because at the time of this writing, many of you frat boys (black and white...yes I've seen black people do it) deem it necessary to wear clothes like this. But I digress...

The vast majority of women want their man to be low-maintenance and easy-going. Notice how women want their man to buy shampoo at a grocery store. That means buy the Head & Shoulders, Pert Plus, Selsun Blue, um...and any other regular shampoo I have forgotten. Don't buy the stuff women buy. Women don't like their men to have better hair. Don't spend all your time in the mirror either. They also don't want you to look better than they do. Check your hair to see it's organized and clean. Check your nose for any boogers. Check your teeth and mouth for any food residue. Check your face to see if anything's on in it and move on. All this should take no longer than 2 minutes. I've seen people in the men's bathroom fixing each strand of hair... We men have to have rough, hard-working hands, so stop going to manicurists all the time. But please keep your fingernails nice and clipped. No dirt underneath the nail, please.

These women want an easy-going man who makes them laugh and enjoys laughing. So negroes, pull up your pants and laugh. White people, loosen up your belts and relax. Asians...um...just...um...do what we do. Too many suburban superthugs out there taking themselves too seriously. It's annoying. One thing I want to add. I don't think they mentioned in the article but men should not talk too damn much. "Dudes should not talk that much." That is paraphrasing a girl I know who had to leave a room with me because of a guy who decided to run his mouth. I won't say who he is to protect his identity.
