"Ideal" man and woman

I like the study where they had men wear t-shirts for 24 hours then had women smell the unlaundered shirts and pick the one they liked the best. The women always chose shirts worn by men with the healthiest immune systems. Hairy chests, p'shaw!

 

Ooops. Probably explains why it always ends up platonic with me, hehe. Asthma ftw. Oh wait. Waitasec. Existent conditions put aside, I have a bullet-proof immune system. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger and even if I catch some cold or whatever, I just wait it out. So must be something different.

And yes, women reputedly go for healthy men. A healthy hunter is a hunter that comes back home with prey.

However, a healthy woman brings more children and probably healthier ones too.

 

Hey, and let's not forget that a lot of women, if not the most really do like a man with a big...

...wallet.

edit: oops, already brought out ...meh, had to go and say it anyway...

 

There was an article in the London underground paper (the metro) about how all woman want is a man with status and power.

It was written by a guy I think, and so the paper also got input from a feminist woman, who tore this guy to pieces.

Personally I agree with the woman - he distilled something incredibly complex to things as base as status and power. And that women only go for girls based on looks and thing else. I know some girls will like power and status, but many more care about more than that. And I know for a fact that, although I dont deny looks are important to me, they arent the only thing. Disposition, shyness or lack thereof, education, and sense of humour all matter to me.

 

I personally don't think you can ever trust a study on this subject. My rationale is threefold.

First- Humans are incredibly complex and there really isn't anyway to pick out a single quality in a person that is the deal-maker. However, It is probably much easier to pick out a single quality that is a deal-breaker.

Second- People change over time and so do their priorities. Asking a teenage girl and thirty-five year old woman are going to give you vastly different opinions of what is important.

Third- I'm not quite sure people even know what they want, and if they do, I think there is a high possiblity they will lie if they think it is shallow.

 

Ah, but that can only relay information about their physical desires. What about the woman says she's faithful, intelligent, etc.?

 

Gaze. The way she moves says things. Her remarks give clues. Her clothing style says something. Her company also speaks for her. The choices in her education are somehow meaningful. Her taste in art and media as well. Also the people she admires. Perhaps her history too.
