nerdgirl 0 #1 September 14, 2009 Inspired by [kbordson]’s poll, I'm curious what are the results for a parallel poll w/r/t women's dating preferences for potential LTRs. After seeking ideas for changes and additions via PMs with a few other dz.com chicas and adapted with permission. If you had to pick one charaacteristic that you look for/seek in a man for a date with the potential of a long term relationship (not a random ‘hook up’), who would you date? Hot, sexy, and physically built Rich, sugar daddy Personality truly does matter Smart, intelligent Integrity and character Good fatherhood potential Motivated Sense of humor Ability to protect me /Marg Act as if everything you do matters, while laughing at yourself for thinking anything you do matters.

wmw999 2,589 #4 September 14, 2009 Each one depends on how much of the others are there. There are some you can't do without (e.g. brains, sense of humor, integrity), but the ratios and the whole package matter. And, of course, as you get to know someone, you learn more about what makes them intelligent, funny, or characterful (that is a word, I just put it into existence ). Wendy P. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

BikerBabe 0 #5 September 14, 2009 Easy. Intelligence. And along with that an interest and ability to observe and comment and form opinions on the world around them. If they can't keep up with me in a conversation, i'm not interested. But if they can...oh boy, is that ever sexy.

shah269 0 #6 September 14, 2009 Sense of humor is a total cop out. That's a standard response women give so as to not appear as shallow as the guys! Come on! How about schlong size?

Misternatural 0 #9 September 14, 2009 Here's a real profile description I saw recently in the online personals; "Me and My Ideal Match" desperately seeking insensitive dim-wit for complete emasculation. Your life with me will be Fatal Attraction, Misery and Gitmo rolled into one. For you, Freedom will be a mere word in the Constitution. I'll expect to move in with you after the second date, to better suck the life out of you. When we go out, I will complain vociferously in restaurants and generally abuse service people everywhere we go. I will embarrass you at work with my incessant calls and demands for you to come home and hold my hand while I watch soaps on the couch. I will systematically alienate all your friends and family with my whining and crass comments. I have more baggage than the Union Pacific Railroad. My last good read was my gum wrappers. When it comes to frigid, I make the Arctic Circle look like South Beach. So email me know, ya hear! PS By the way, did I mention TODAY IS OPPOSITE DAY?!!? ;-) Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #14 September 14, 2009 Once again, multiple answers need to be allowed. If someone offered you a blind date and told you only one characteristic about the person, would that be enough for you to decide whether or not you were interested? Of course not. Interest comes from a combination of many things. We should be able to vote on all of the things which we consider most important. That's what would be useful.

PLFXpert 0 #18 September 14, 2009 All of the above with the exception of: Hot, sexy and physically built Rich, sugar daddy Good fatherhood potential I wrestled with "ability to protect me", but decided it's in. I can think of countless scenarios my hunny was quick to react in my defense (and that does not mean a bar brawl. He has never hit anyone on my behalf, though I do not doubt he would and would win. He's a scrapper. ) I will go ahead and be cliche and say "sense of humor" is a close second to integrity and intelligence. And by close second, I mean I would not be interested at all in the first two if the guy did not have an awesome sense of humor that meshed perfectly with mine. I truly believe--and in my very biased opinion--that is the tie that really binds. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, I think their "personality peference" is our "boobie peference". You know, when we say we prioritize looks, the no so great-looking ones call us shallow, and when the women priortize personality and humor and the not-so desirable guys call the women as "playing the game" or "not being direct with them" or "want to be friends"._____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFXpert 0 #23 September 14, 2009 Quote And your thoughts on Jim Carrey http://www.popsucker.net/...cker/ohdeargodno.jpg Your link is not working for me, but Jim Carrey's sense of humor does not always work for me. I think he is funny, but not my cup-of-tea to be around all the time. Jim is tall, though. I admit if I have one superficial discrimination it is against the short man. It is not fair, and awful of me, but it is what it is. I also admit, I feel bad for short guys--not that they need my sympathy. I know a hard-working, mini-Brad Pitt looking, smart guy whom I can not help but think would be further along in his career if not for his height. Call me a bitch, but don't call me shy to speak frankly. FWIW, my hunny barely makes the height cut and I am still a smitten kitten. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

kbordson 8 #24 September 14, 2009 Quote Inspired by [kbordson]’s poll, I'm curious what are the results for a parallel poll w/r/t women's dating preferences for potential LTRs. /Marg Still a small "n" and a rather specific population, but I have to say that I'm kind of impressed that there is not a single vote for a "sugar daddy" as insinuated in the thread that inspired my poll. Not to say that those "gold diggers" don't exist or that some women haven't gone to college to work on an "mrs" degree, but I'm just kind of happy not seeing a validation of that assumption. Is it because enough haven't answered, those that did answer lied (either intentionally or subconsciously), or maybe girls just aren't as greedy as some like to portray.
