I used to think that girls had these really long lists of things they wanted in a guy, but as I've gotten older I've realized they really just want a man who is *something.* You don't have to look perfect or be movie-star handsome (I'm certainly not), but you have to have some things going for you. Be an athlete, a entrepreneur, a muscle man, a badass, a poet, a car guy... something. I don't have a lot of things going for me that other guys have, but I'm a really big guy who loves ranch life and has a pretty decent job. That has attracted better girls than I ever thought I would like me when I was younger.
Haha I read your first paragraph and I thought this was a guys post for a sec and I almost got really mad at you😬 But as for your mytake, it's pretty true but some guys are just too bitter to admit it

I think I agree with you for the most part. A couple things stood out to me though.
First off, i hear it all the time that girls want these certain things because of evolution and a better offspring blah blah. Not that it matters lol, but that just bothers me cause that's ridiculous lol, because no girl is thinking about that shit when they find someone attractive. They just find him attractive. That's it. I highly doubt she's thinking " oh I bet he'll provide a healthy offspring lmao.
And number 2...
If 6'3 to 6'4 is really ideal height than most women will be disappointed. Most guys are around 6 ft or under. The average height in the U. S is 5'9 - 5'10.
Just wanted to point those out but otherwise I think it was a good take.
I think it was very reasonable though. I mean, working out, hygiene, confidence etc. It's all basic stuff really that any guy can acquire if they just make an effort to do it. It's not like you said a guy had to be rich, or have a monster dick or anything lol. Height of course isn't within anyone's control and is something I'm starting to be more confident with myself. I think I make the cut at 5'8 but I dunno. I try not to think about it these days. Anyway, I read all the responses. These types of questions just draw up a lot of insecurity and emotion. People just don't want to feel like their not good enough.
In general... guys like slim women with big boobs, and girls like men who are tall and fit... 🙄... but guess what? Not everyone is built this way, so we adapt and grow, and look deeper...
Most women are so brainwashed by the media and authority figures that they demonize normal male behavior as "toxic masculinity" and then go for men who exhibit those very traits. Take Emma Watson, for example; she is a feminist who conflates approaching a woman on the street with sexual harassment. At the same time, she has made statements in public claiming she will never date another British man as she believes they are too reserved for her.
Gee - I wonder why men get upset when I tell them it's biology that I like to get my holes filled by 6'5" jocks. As if after millions of years of evolution women lack the ability to reason and are solely subject to making biological decisions based on the potential health of offspring.
Men: We like healthy women everyone! Y’all gotta be skinny to be liked! (Fact: healthy women can be chubby, muscular and other shapes. Your body size doesn’t necessarily determine your health) *no one says anything / they agree with the guy*
SCENARIO 2:
Women; We like tall guys.
Men: Wow. Of course. A feminist. Gross. You are SO shallow.
You seemed to be clueless why men would upset with you putting your sexual preferences out there for the world to see. I was explaining in my answer why that may be.
What do you want me to say? You said a very awesome and cool story. I'm so enthralled by your sexual preferences. I only hope to one day meet your arbitrary standards.
According to your chart, women find 6ft 4 men most attractive. And what percentage of men are 6ft 4+? According to this calculator, that's one percent of men. tall.life/.../ Factor in the other requirements and that's already you vying with a lot of other women for a small proportion of men.
I'm sure you want an uber rich, 6ft 4, python penis, celebrity man, who can fuck the shit out of you and is a true 'alpha' with the body of a gorilla.
Unfortunately, reality is a lot more disappointing. And what are you bringing to the table yourself?
It's also sad that you just mentioned superficial requirements. People aren't objects, and they are imperfect - Well, excluding you of course.
There’s a reason why I didn’t say “women are attracted specifically to 6’4” men”. I said they’re attracted to taller men. The chart is there for illustrative purposes. I’m sorry you have such a negative perception of my take and me as a person, without even getting to know me. Hahah
Yes, but who cares what women are attracted to. There's quite a few stunning insta- girls I find attractive. But who cares? Real life isn't like that, where you necessarily date some kind of 0.0001% stunner.
I’m not describing some kind of model. I was describing men who take care of themselves and have a strong character. That’s fundamental for guys, it’s not something only models can acquire.
Not all woman are shallow... I feel like what men are are what they attract in women. As you were explaining... if you are short and ugly and broke then for some reason it just make sense you will attract those type of women. That’s how people find other people to have things in common. Maybe you should like not be broke or “ugly” (that’s your own personal preference) but once you work on yourself maybe you’ll attract a different type of women :)
Pretty much agreed with everything except height. Height isn't exactly something we can control with working out or eating better. It's probably why I consider women who uses height as a defining factor for attractiveness more shallow then muscles/confidence or w/e.
You can't control being a guy or a girl so if you're born a girl you're gonna complain cause a girl doesn't like you? No she has a preference. Its not supposed to be fair
I agree with the height thing. That's shallow. But girls get the same standard. Personally, I prefer girls that are either slightly taller or slightly shorter than me, preferably slightly shorter.
Height or yellow teeth, wright and odor are not at all the same things. Height cannot be controlled. Height can't be compared to that. Also stamina has to do with the ability to sustain an action or stait of being. Has nothing to do with making good choices or being able to defend him self. Mabey just taking punishment. Women want a guy who is confidnent knows himself and what he wants and is able to connect with you. End of story the rest is just physical preference.
TBH your take is pretty accurate, a lot of guys won't be able to understand this and it may trigger a lot. The attractive (mentally) ones will be the guys who don't get triggered by this post.
Well, you pretty much enforced the stereotype of women as shallow, greedy bitches. Glad to know from personal experience that IT IS NOT THAT WAY in real life.
Some women actually are shallow, greedy bitches. Most aren't. The ones that aren't want someone who will make time for them without thinking that they buy coochie by doing so. That's the number one thing.
Seems like someone isn't living up to a girl's expectation, hm? You don't know shit about what a girl wants, so don't act like it. Times have changed, you're not just a gentleman anymore when you spend time with a girl without forcing her to have sex with you lmao.
So basically they want mister perfect who has absolutely everything.. which isn't common... Cos how many guys are hot, confident, fit, good hygiene, rich, funny, and all those other traits girls want? Probably not many... Then what about the rest of guys that don't have those things? We all jus get left out?
as you see the picture of me i have a girlfriend since 1 year and i had 2 before so that is no problem for me but u are right 100% of women go for only 20% of the guys that are like 8 or higher in looks level
girls always try to date the same looks level as she at least or higher they never go lower so if the girl is 7 u gotta be 7 at least to have any chance with her but still she will probably dump you after some time for a guy that is 8 or higher
Strange- haven't you just gender-reversed that quote? "Ugh, I hate men. They’re all soooo shallow. I’m ugly, short and broke and this man rejected me today! Why do I ONLY attract ugly, short and broke males? Men are SO shallow..." I mean, seriously- how many guys do you ever see complaining about any women being too short, or not rich enough? Next to none. I rate this a 0.1/10 as a trolling attempt- Heavy fail.
1 true 2 its 50/50 not every girl is attracted to 200 pounds of muscles on steroids 3 true 4 bullshit she will make u confident by herself if she finds u hot 5 true 6 u forgot to add dick above 6,5 inches in lenght above 5 in girth 7 being able to communicate with him 8 same intelligence level and i do not mean school degrees intelligence is different from being book smart 9 facial hair i really mean it , if u do not grow any facial hair she finds u as a kid still
No one said he needs big muscles. She explicitly said no big muscles... lol If you’re confident and hot she’ll find you hot. Dick doesn’t need to be big so don’t worry. But it’s definitely a bonus
I agree with all of the points you made, I dont blame women for not being attracted to me as noone is entitled to love or sex. I'm not surprised women aren't attracted to me, I'm well below average in terms of looks and, I'm only 5'8 and skinny. I'm probably a 2 or 3/10 in looks. I wouldn't want to date or sleep with me if, I were a woman.
I'm also a ginger which doesn't help and, I'm a social outcast, weird, socially awkward, loner that has no self esteem or confidence from being bullied my whole life.
I have a long face, huge ugly forehead, misshapen head from being born premature, I have a crooked nose, huge ugly brow, and I have a weak unattractive round jaw and negative canthal tilt.
@Curmudgeon No. I’ve seen this guy plenty of times. I tried to give him advice. And I often get the vibe that he might be trolling or that it’s his fetish. That’s why I responded that way. Don’t jump to conclusions with baseless assumptions.
I think these things may apply to a majority of American women, but I have heard of other cultures to which some of these do not seem to apply, I think ultimately, it depends on the individual and where she grew up.
Regarding the height aspect. Funny thing about that is the shorter the woman the taller the man she wants. Where as the taller the woman, the more amiable they are to who may approach them.
I'm an inch taller than my fiance, sure I would like to date a taller man, but if he has a majority of other qualities I like I'm a man, height is not a big deal for me.
There are always exceptions. Just as some small gals rather be with someone closer to their height. Regardless, overwhelmingly small gals appear far more drawn to really tall men. Where gals around 5'-07" and taller seem far more amiable to being with men closer to their, at their height, and even shorter. I see this a LOT.
Now, I was only speaking to the matter of height and not to the 'quality' of the man a woman dates. Two separate subjects which gets quite ambiguous since no one here can know another's desired character traits in their love interest. Heck, many appear to be still figuring that out here for themselves regardless of age.
We all have 'modifiers' that add or subtract from our attraction towards someone after getting passed our initial physical attraction towards them.

Just wanted to point those out but otherwise I think it was a good take.
They don’t consciously have those thoughts but it is an instinct. That’s why they call it female sexual selection, not male sexual selection.
Oh and no, lol that chart was for illustrative purposes. My bad.
I think it was very reasonable though. I mean, working out, hygiene, confidence etc. It's all basic stuff really that any guy can acquire if they just make an effort to do it.

(I obviously am not talking about all men but it’s basically what goes on sometimes especially in this site)
You seemed to be clueless why men would upset with you putting your sexual preferences out there for the world to see. I was explaining in my answer why that may be.
I wasn’t asking why they’re angry. I know why. It’s simple- they don’t meet those requirements and feel attacked.
I think you would be better served by encouraging men to possess the traits you find most attractive.
"Seriously. This is how some men look like when they insult female preferences. This is how pathetic and amusing they look to everyone else."
Yes. That is in fact how they look. This app is flowing with these men so I wasn’t surprised. Hahahah
Ok, cool story.
🤣🤣🤣
What do you want me to say? You said a very awesome and cool story. I'm so enthralled by your sexual preferences. I only hope to one day meet your arbitrary standards.
Hahaha. I love this
[BEER]
Make it your goal to achieve those 5 traits. Good luck 😂😘
You've inspired me to do my first my take.
Hopefully a reasonable one!

I misread the first photo. I thought it said fat. I was like that guy doesn't look fat. Oh it says fit! That makes much better sense.
Lol 😂 what do you think? Do you agree with the take?
It's a pretty good myTake. I really like what you wrote about confidence.
Thanks!
You're welcome.
TBH your take is pretty accurate, a lot of guys won't be able to understand this and it may trigger a lot. The attractive (mentally) ones will be the guys who don't get triggered by this post.

We all jus get left out?
yes you probably will u right about that
@Pejtu so that means that only Like 10 percent of guys will have a girlfriend... And the other 90 percent won't... Including you too probably
as you see the picture of me i have a girlfriend since 1 year and i had 2 before so that is no problem for me
but u are right 100% of women go for only 20% of the guys that are like 8 or higher in looks level

so if the girl is 7 u gotta be 7 at least to have any chance with her but still she will probably dump you after some time for a guy that is 8 or higher
@Pejtu oh yea, true.. sorry, I didn't know what you meant at first lol
Strange- haven't you just gender-reversed that quote? "Ugh, I hate men. They’re all soooo shallow. I’m ugly, short and broke and this man rejected me today!

Next to none. I rate this a 0.1/10 as a trolling attempt- Heavy fail.
eh personally I see guys complaining about anything but a woman’s wealth or height. But they always complain about everything else.
1 true
2 its 50/50 not every girl is attracted to 200 pounds of muscles on steroids
3 true
4 bullshit she will make u confident by herself if she finds u hot
5 true
6 u forgot to add dick above 6,5 inches in lenght above 5 in girth
7 being able to communicate with him
8 same intelligence level and i do not mean school degrees intelligence is different from being book smart
9 facial hair i really mean it , if u do not grow any facial hair she finds u as a kid still
No one said he needs big muscles. She explicitly said no big muscles... lol
If you’re confident and hot she’ll find you hot.
Dick doesn’t need to be big so don’t worry. But it’s definitely a bonus
Yep true facial hair is hot
I rejected a guy cause he was too tall (6'4). Since I'm short, I find short-average height guys (5'2-5'8) to be a better match for me
That's interesting because 6'4" is where the curve on the chart drops off.
I know a guy who's 7'2" because he regularly show's up to singles events in my area and he struggles getting dates at all.
@ThirtyEight I prefer short to medium height men anyway lol. But that's an interesting fact, yeah :)
Most definitely hygiene! I dated a guy who had terrible personal hygiene and it was a huge deal breaker for me. Dumped him within a week
I really don't get it... I mean, I even wash my hands like 5 times a day :P How can people be so bad at it...
@AndreasM96 haha I know! I mean how is washing your underarms so difficult?
We've all felt lazy one day or another, but there's some level of dignity and... smell to keep :P
I agree with all of the points you made, I dont blame women for not being attracted to me as noone is entitled to love or sex. I'm not surprised women aren't attracted to me, I'm well below average in terms of looks and, I'm only 5'8 and skinny. I'm probably a 2 or 3/10 in looks. I wouldn't want to date or sleep with me if, I were a woman.
I'm also a ginger which doesn't help and, I'm a social outcast, weird, socially awkward, loner that has no self esteem or confidence from being bullied my whole life.
I'm also shy and quiet and have issues from being born premature at 25 weeks, I accept that no woman will ever find me attractive.
I have a long face, huge ugly forehead, misshapen head from being born premature, I have a crooked nose, huge ugly brow, and I have a weak unattractive round jaw and negative canthal tilt.
Rather than a square face, straight nose, normal shaped head, chiseled jawline and positive canthal tilt hunter eyes.
Is this your fetish?
No it isn't, I actually see and feel about myself this way.
He actually agrees with @navyrobin, and she slags him anyway. THAT is telling.
@Curmudgeon No. I’ve seen this guy plenty of times. I tried to give him advice. And I often get the vibe that he might be trolling or that it’s his fetish. That’s why I responded that way. Don’t jump to conclusions with baseless assumptions.

Regarding the height aspect. Funny thing about that is the shorter the woman the taller the man she wants. Where as the taller the woman, the more amiable they are to who may approach them.
I've found this to be true on a few occasions. Im 5'4" and have had a few girlfriends and several dates with women who are just shy of 6'.
I'm an inch taller than my fiance, sure I would like to date a taller man, but if he has a majority of other qualities I like I'm a man, height is not a big deal for me.
I like in a man*
There are always exceptions. Just as some small gals rather be with someone closer to their height. Regardless, overwhelmingly small gals appear far more drawn to really tall men.
