Okay, Workerettes - help me out here. I just stumbled across this article about what we gals supposedly want from men and I'm stumped. Either the author is a bit confused or I and 90 percent of the women I know are far from stereotypical.
Do you:
- Require a "surprise at least once a month"?
- "...believe in the fairytale and [will] look at most men in the first 30 seconds as if they could be the prince [they] have been looking for..."?
- Expect a man to be both controversial and sensitive? (In some circles, isn't a "sensitive" man controversial enough?)
Did I miss something in Dating and Marriage 101? If I had walked into the place I met my husband with these kind of expectations, well, let's just say I would have ended up with the totally wrong kind of man.
Go check out the article and tell me what items on the "Secrets of Women" lists actually apply to you and your gal pals. A few things ring true, of course - after all, why would we not be attracted to someone who is polite? Don't men groom themselves more if they think there's a chance they might meet someone that night too?
Hmmm. Seems to me this advice pulls between the obvious and the "huh?" factor. Help me out if I missed something I was supposed to be expecting from my hubby. *chuckle*
Wow, I wonder when they'll stop trying impose the damsel in distress waiting for a prince rescue her myth on us. I have never known any women with these types of expectations. If anything most women (hopefully) understand that romance is a give and take - sometimes you have to give to receive. I hate surprises so that one would definitely go out the window. And the day I start sizing up every guy to see if he is my potential prince is the day I give up on finding love...The idea of such thinking smacks of desperation...oh don't get me started LOL.
