Long List Of Standards: But Are They Too High And Unrealistic by Ladyjide(f): 3:59pm On Sep 04, 2011
The most hated and debated is back, wink
So here is a topic that recently came out in a party i attended, which created a BIG debate, Many people tend to think women these days have long lists that describe what they're looking for in a man…but are their standards simply just too high and unrealistic? What do you think, ?
Re: Long List Of Standards: But Are They Too High And Unrealistic by Nobody: 4:20pm On Sep 04, 2011
Where's the list?

Re: Long List Of Standards: But Are They Too High And Unrealistic by Nobody: 4:30pm On Sep 04, 2011
Ok! Not necessarily too high, cos everyone loves the good life, but then it is mostly unrealistic cos no one is perfect, and no one comes as a complete package!

Top on my list. (physical attributes) grin


1. Tall,dark, smart/intelligent,sexy baritone voice,with a mesormophic kind of body.


Is that too much to ask for? undecided. Men are also very choosy.

Maybe so, MOST "men" these days are not even ambitious enough to have careers ,  not to talk of tall/dark, intelligent etc,  It seems we are expected to  start at ground zero with our  standards and expectations, and accept that.   Yet most "men are not even willing to do the same  when It comes to women lipsrsealed ( Yes I said it!!) Other wise we are cursed with being single old ladies forever,  or given "twenty years and begging for anyone" grin

What is wrong with these dudes?

They want a sexy looking lady with hourglass shape,nice bosoms, great legs and all that.
So what is wrong with me asking for man with sexy seductive eyes,and voice  and yes MESOMORPHIC kind of body? Not metamorphosis
Is there any out there? Post your pics here first for verification. grin grin

The same way a lady has a "Long list of Standards", is the same way a tall, dark, handsome, "mesomorphic", career-focused man has a long list of standards as well.

So I guess the better question would be why are the ladies "standards considered unrealistic and the mens are not?

Lol probably more. grin

Ok I have read through. Those are basic attributes possesed by majority of ladies.

I think nothing beats friendship. Its the first thing I look out for.

A friend then the rest will follow but let not obese feature in our relationship ever. I dislike people who don't take care of their health.
