Christina Cauterucci: Why 'The Real L Word' Is Bad For Lesbians
Jeanne Faulkner: The State of the World's Soccer Moms
A new poll asked single men what they're really looking for in a woman, and it turns out that it's OK that you're totally crazy and don't know what you want. Neither do they!The guys surveyed said they wanted a successful, career-oriented woman who earns a lot of money, but they also want their partner to stay at home and raise the kids. Ha ha, weird conundrum, right? Whew, good thing this is a paradox men are confronting. Not like we'd want to have to deal with it or anything.
A guy also prefers that a woman be ready to go out for the night in 10 minutes. (Naturally, considering she'll be confident and attractive enough to leave the house without makeup, duh.) Additionally, a banging body AND a voracious appetite is also required, with 89 percent of guys saying they wanted their girls to enjoy hearty meals, while 75 percent wanted their women to stay slim, and 91 percent saying they wanted a girlfriend with a high sex drive.
So, men want a superwoman who has time to eat a giant plate of ribs, work out, not blow-dry her hair, and maintain a successful career while raising his babies and doing him constantly.
Oh, Steve Harvey -- you make jokes about how fickle we are and, yet, WE ARE YOU.

I think your interpretation of 'hearty meals' is all wrong. It does not mean 'voracious appetite'. It means good healthy food as opposed to eating bon bons or twinkies or a half gallon of ice cream in place of a healthy meal.
Can you explain who has time to not blow-dry their hair. How does NOT doing something take any time at all? Sounds like female logic.
As for the 91% who want a girlfriend with a high sex drive, I think this also includes AFTER the I do's at the altar. Too many women think that sex is only important in the girlfriend/boyfriend stage to keep a guy interested, but once they get him to the altar, they think they can forget about it except for when they want to make a baby. And women wonder why men are reluctant to go to the altar.
I realize that some men want a stay-at-home house wife, and others want a career oriented wife who can help pay the mortgage. I seriously doubt there are many people who think someone can be both of these at the same time.

Maybe more women would open up sexually and enjoy the act more if they didn't spend their whole developmental teen years being demonized as sluts for wearing the wrong shirt of skirt. Or maybe their partners need to help them communicate/help with chores so sex isn't just one more thing to do, but a pleasurable experience for both of them.
Also sbw, female logic, really?

Why do the women of this country think it is so hard to find a good mate? Because they are not good mates themselves.
I have been married for almost 11 years. I am not anorexic looking, but I am not Jabba the Hut either (and I am totally cool with that after 3 kids!). I talk to my husband about things he finds interesting and he does the same with me. I stay home, for the most part, with my 3 sons. However, I have a career that I fit around their schedule and I bring in a little less than half of what my husband makes. I can be dressed and out the door in 10 minutes, but sometimes I have to put on my make up in the car. AND we have sex at least 3 times a week.
This isn't hard, ladies, it really isn't. It isn't about what you look like or how much you make, it is about being yourself. If someone marries you because you are hot, that is not a marriage that is going to last.

If I could use only one word to describe what I want in a woman, it would be ENTHUSIASM. In bed, of course, nothing less of a turn on than making love to a woman who isn't into it, or doing me a favor by letting me "in". Anything we do together, she should be excited to do it and adventurous...enthusiastic. Even a less than gorgeous woman with a smile on her face and anxious to participate in whatever, is exciting. And that goes for a man as well. If you are going to make love to a woman, do it ENTHUSIASTICALLY. It will be better for both of you.

Are you bloody serious???!!! Wow! no wonder we women are so hard on ourselvets! Has it ever occured to men that maybe us women want a man who''s into keeping up with his looks instead of developing the proverbial beer belly after he's married? and that after marriage it's usually the man who's too tired to have sex because oh my, he actually had to get up and go to work, while we stay at home, look after the kids, the house, the school, any and all things pertaining to the family,,and on and on it goes,,yes it is usually the woman who craves it in bed,,so yes, many women do want a man with a non-stop sex drive, we also want someone who will take us out and wait until wE ARE ready because that's just the way we are, or I am actually, and if you don't like it, then you are SO not worth it! We also want someone who makes alot of money, we also want the car, the house, the pool and all of those other material things because if men are going to be that shallow, well then honey, so can we! This article honestly makes me sick to my stomach! how can you publish such crap!

Enthusiasm in everything we do. And above all, great COMMUNICATION. Be able to talk, about what you want and need, what's wrong, and what you dream and fantasize about. And be open to me doing the same. Be adaptable. Take care of my needs and let me take care of yours ... in everything. Your career should be your choice, and I expect you to let mine belong to me, as long as together we make enough money to support us the way we want to live and both of us are satisfied with it. If not, LET'S TALK ABOUT IT!
I had that with both my wives (widowed twice) over nearly 30 years, and I'd get into it again if I could find the right woman. Always hopeful.

Wow. The comments...!. I did a paper on Stay at Home Fathers.... How many women so wouldn't mind making the money while the men stay at home & do what women typically do effortlessly.. To be ready in ten minutes is such a joke.. I just have in my mind, a man that lets his women be his women. Wait for me to get ready, you & many others will appreciate it! The men I know don't get involved in dictating a marriage/relationship in my opinion (this being with situations being w/in reason & people having common sense). Realtionships are just ridiculous in todays world. Real men just go with the flow...
