What are your "woman" standards?

Status
Not open for further replies.
No Smoking, No Drugs, not a heavy drinker.

Comfortable with her own body and knows how to make herself look good (very important)

Able to keep up with me in an argument or a conversation.

I use these as a general guideline. I have a picture of the ideal woman I'd love to marry but that's too much to get into and not really for this thread.
 
Well I'll list mine in the appropriate order of target visualization/personality assessment/lifestyle judgments/marriage considerations...the natural sequence of the process.


1. Must have large, shapely breasts. DD is basically my minimum (might go for D's if she's short), and I won't accept large + grotesque either. I want them anime-style perky, with nipples at least horizontal or higher. No fakes. I used to be an ass man but since my ex, they all have to have tits at least as big/nice as hers. No going back now.

2. Nice face. Doesn't have to be supermodel/ethereal pixie gorgeous, but unquestionably attractive and symmetrical in proportion. Race does not factor in...if you're hot, you're hot, period. NO MUSTACHE/UNIBROW/BEARD

3. Figure can be slightly on the thick side, as long as its a nice, smooth thick (a la J-Lo) and not lumpy-thick. Should still adhere to the bounce-a-quarter rule. Huge ass is not a requirement, but boney ass is unacceptable.

4. Dresses sexy, but classy. I don't like the flaky fashion-of-the-week-style (sexy & classy are timeless), and I don't like the whoreish look either. You can dress form-fitting, but leave something to the imagination...if your body is banging, we're gonna know it whether your tits are hanging out or not.

5. Intelligent, and able to comprehend wit and sarcasm. Does not offend easily. Is not easily amused by base, corporate entertainment. Her favorite songs are not played on LOCAL RADIO. Has at least a vague awareness of current events and..you know...WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE FUKKING WORLD. Lives an examined life. Cannot have an aversion to sports or politics.

6. Not religious. I've tried before, and in the end, both of you just think the other one is some form of crazy. And I can't love crazy people any longer..

7. Willing to try different things. Road-trips, camping, the symphony, dancing, etc. Cultured, non-superficial, open to exploration.

8. Not too kinky. To me, hot sex is when you and your loved one are being passionate together. Wanting to fukk in public or throw a friend in the mix is out of the question. But I will fukk your friend if you force me to...;)

9. Practical about love. Realizes that it's as much a compatibility thing as it is a magical union, and is willing to work at improving things. Is completely faithful and HONEST, in any circumstance.

10. Family should be open and accepting to a superior caliber of human being such as myself.



Thats about it. But literally, I start with the tits. In public, I'm tit-looking more than anyone on this planet, and I likely know more about their boobs in the first five minutes of meeting them than their face after an hour of talking to them. I know my standards are probably too high, but every time I settle I get burned, and given how unique a person I am relative to my environment, I'm really forced to continue to try and discriminate accordingly. It's like a friend of mine is a bar manager here in town and I sometimes hang out after hours waiting on him to get out so we can continue the party elsewhere. A week ago, his hot little bartender (probably a B/B+ on the hotness scale) was like "Why don't you say anything? I think you're soo cute.." and while I danced around the issue as politely as possible, I wanted to tell her "Because you have nothing to offer me and you're not worth my time you stupid fukking bitch!!". 5 or 6 years ago I would have actively pursued a girl like her, but now years later, I realize that being hot is just not enough.

i wonder if i could date a hardline political conservative. i'm politically somewhat apathetic, but it's still difficult to imagine. i guess it's never come up. there was this really hot republican girl a couple friends and i would hit on with no success, but that was kind of a running joke.

This is one of my personal favorites. :lol
 
Historically, physically, all the girls I've ever dated have been about 5'3", weighed just under 7 stones (about 95lbs I guess) with brown/black hair and small breasts. Ideally I like them to have an eccentric personality, vote Liberal, and dress and act modestly, and I require that they be university educated, come from a stable family and have no major 'pasts'.

I really really want to date a tall blonde though. But for some reason I find that towheads only date each other. Oh! the curse of black hair!

i dated a girl for awhile that was, apparently, a pretty commited christian but she hid it from me. i had no really idea because i'm pretty void of religious leanings and she knew this. it was pretty strange.. wonder if that would be at all similar.
 
None of them meet mine anyway so I stop keeping track. When I see a girl smile at me or something I just yell "Your not good enough for me" in their face and then run home and pet my cat and play World of Warcraft.

Have any of you even thought about women wanting to be with some of you and your ridiculous standards?

:lol :lol :lol
Click to expand...

So I suppose settling for any ole gal is more meritable? Shack up with any piece of ass you can find and slap a ring on her finger?

Besides, it's not as though you dump all those standards on a girl at once. If they meet the preliminary standards, you date them until you find the flaws you can't live with. I've realized my standards over a long arduous process of dating a number of women, so holding to those standards with future women is only to my benefit, given that it took me months/years to arrive at them previously (ie you try dating someone for 8 months before you realize that she's just to religious to stay with, or just too flaky etc).

The goal is not to get girls, the goal is to get the right girl. For me anyway. I could run through flaky bimbos who insult my intelligence every night of the week, but then I'd think less of myself, and I'd be no closer to finding Miss Right. So fukk it. I will be rewarded for my standards some day..

No, you wont.

It's usually the ones that don't fit into your set of "standards" that end up sweeping you off your feet.

Keep your extremely high standards--and your freedom. Sounds unlikely that you will meet such a person. Even if you did, would they commit to you? Would they be willing to be life-long mates?

Freedom rocks. You always have Rosie Palm and her five daughters to keep you company when you really need it. :lol :lol

Yeah, thats what I told myself last time. I tried the "opposites attract" thing and it was a total failure. I still love her, but we had irreconciable world-views, degrees of intelligence, and interests. She met a lot of my other criteria, but there were still lingering things about her that told me "she's not the one", and before I knew it the whole thing blew up. So, no, I won't abandon my conventions in hope of a miracle..I'll look for someone who understands me and my viewpoints and who is attractive and interesting to me. I won't think dick-first and try and reconcile the rest with sheer hope for the best..
 
I'll chime in since some of the other girls here have.

I've always had a thing for slightly geeky guys. Glasses are a plus.

Dark hair is way preferable to blond to me. Not sure why, I'm just not big on blond guys. I also like brown eyes.

I don't have any sort of race preference, I can find cute looking guys of any race, but I am a bit partial to that mediterranean/Italian look with the dark hair and olive skin.

I don't care about height as long as they're taller than me (I'm 5'3).

Skinny to average build, it's all good as long as you look healthy and aren't overweight. I don't care how athletic a guy is or isn't, since the pinnacle of my athleticism is doing DDR :P

Has to share common interests, obviously. I'm not saying we should be identical, but he should enjoy some of the same activities I do (video games being the main one :P), and hold some of the same views.

I couldn't date someone who is really religious. That's a turn-off to me.

Intelligence is a must, has to be able to hold a conversation and all that, but should be able to be silly and make me laugh too.
 
Ned, weren't the guy running after some small girl a few months back, crying on here because she wanted to be friends? Ever thought about why she ditched you?

I am a bit surprised that I've seen skin color / ethnic group requirements listed a few times in this thread. Is that really that much of a issue for many folks here on GAF? I just wasn't expecting to see that listed by anyone.

a/l and do you meet my requirements above? :p
 
I forgot one very important standard.

She must be either exceptional on a Snowboard or not ride at all and not want to ride. As I wont even blink an eye is she goes down or falls behind and I sure as shit am not teaching anyone how to ride.

*Raises hand*

I tried seeing a white chick once a summer or two back. Worst experience ever. Too goddamn chipper. She was older (32 I think, to my 27 at the time...), but it sure didn't seem like it. And to be honest with you... The pink nipples were kinda of strange to me. It was like they glowed in the dark!

Then there was this Sri Lanken grad student that worked a the same place I do. She was really cool, really smart... But her English needed some work. Slight changes in tenses and what not. I wanted to correct her all the time...
 
Things that are dealbreakers for me are...

Women with kids - No thanks.

Women with tattoos - I can't stand tats on women, and that's odd coming from me since I have several. I just don't like them on women.

A woman who smokes.

No fat women. I can deal with thick (i.e. Raven Simone), but obese is gross.

Race is not a dealbreaker with me, but goddamn is it a social hurdle/obstacle. I dated a Filipino girl for quite sometime and her family has to be the most ignorant people on the face of the earth. Anytime spent with them in a social setting with me there was just blatant ignorance on display.

:lol Sure, why not...
 
Physically, I'm not particular. I evaluate the "total package" for whether or not I'd find a woman attractive, and even then, I'm pretty forgiving. My only major limitations on the physical side would be:

-no greater than one decade in age difference (and there are walking exceptions to this rule)

-can't be grossly fat/obese

-no significant deformities

Mentally:

-NOT NUTS

-has a functioning brain (this is probably more important than anything else. Doesn't matter how hot she looks if she's dumber than stone)

-can't be an ass. I live to piss people like that off.

Otherwise, anything goes. It doesn't matter what color, race, boobs, ass, legs, religion, clothes, hair, or social origin or anything else you have; if my mental hottie calculator adds you up to a certain point, you're attractive to me, period.
 
Avid reader of intellectually challenging books(not cheap romantic novels, or the like.), High IQ, much younger than me(less cultural/social corrupting baggage/influence/garbage, higher probability of a more open/flexible mind )
Few friends, few family members
not really into parties, hanging out, family activities(aka not very social, aka introvert)
Graceful in movements and in words, physically attractive

Whoa, uncanny - I fit like all of your criteria (geeky, thin, dark brown hair Italian guy who likes games, isn't religious and is fairly intelligent =P), LOL. Well its always a good sign that somewhere out there girls are interested in guys similar to me. That somewhere usually isn't LI though!

We actually have similar tastes it would seem. So, points to you for having good taste. :D
 
Alright, I guess it's time I dropped by.

I'm looking for a slim girl... breast size really doesn't matter to me, but I would like something there, and they can't really sag either.

I would like to find someone who is easy to have a conversation with... someone that I could confide in, and someone I don't have to look over my shoulder. I want someone that I don't automatically feel is telling me bullshit straight from the start.

Asian girls are nice, but they don't have to be asian.

If they game, that's awesome. However, I'm realistic, and I know that there is no way I am going to find a girl that loves video games EXACTLY as much as I do, so I don't really look for that.

She has to be cute. It's a must.

Oh yeah, she has to deal with how extra-opinionated I am... hell, she has to appreciate it.

Must have a face I can stare into for hours at a time. Cute, sexy, exotic, I like them all, but it's a must.

Fit. While I do like a great stomach, so long as there's no flab I'm cool. Boney is not a good thing.

Hygiene. Just general personal stuff.

Sense of humor. Probably one of the biggest things.

Hard to pinpoint, but must be able to carry conversation. I talk about relevant, irrelevant, random, "deep" stuff. If we can't talk for hours at a time then it probably won't work.

Not materialistic. If the peak of a girl's week is her new pair of shoes or something, it probably won't work.

Must not be pushy/preachy. While I'm an atheist, I'm open to whatever people believe. I'm open to converse about it, or the subject in general. But if someone's condescending about something like that, I get worked up. I will end up mocking you for believing in a fairy tale if you push me.

Hmm.

Huge plusses: Similar sense/able to stand my music. I almost go as far as to not date people into pop music or techno, almost, as chemistry's never been there, so I tend to avoid, but I'd still be open.

Low maintenence. I can treat a lady like a lady, but I can't stand girly girls. Tends to go along with the materialistic thing.

Animals. Seeing a girl take hold of a cat or dog is hot. Seeing a girl react as if it's some foul creature as if it's some strange, alien creature is not.

Drinking. I don't mind drinking, but if a chick goes out and gets hammered/sloppy drunk, especially often or going out just for that reason it's a huge turn off.


Holy hell I wrote a lot. I could go on longer, but this works.
Click to expand...

Sounds exactly like what I want and have in my girlfriend.
 
Theres are the musts.

1-Good sense of humor. If a girl doesn't find me funny, and if I don't find her funny, then it tends to be real hard to feel comfortable around her, which is ofcourse important.

2-engaging coversatino - I need to be able to talk to her at length. If i can't hold a conversation with her, it's not going to work.

3-must care about her body - ie:no fat girls, no anorexic girls...a girl needs to take atleast some pride in her appearance, and have proper nutritional habits. a girl could have some mind blownig figure, but if she pigs out on candy bars all day, one day that figure is gonna dissapear. i take much pride and put a lot of effort into staying in top shape, i'd expect a girl to atleast have a fraction of the same nature to her

4-reasonably attractive- you don't have to be the absolute knockout or anything, but i simply find it hard to be attracted to girls i don't find attractive. it may be somewhat superficial, but I think it's fairly logical. I don't have crazy standards at all(i find most girls in good shape to be relatively attractive), but if i don't find you attractive, i don't find you attractive.

These are the good, but not criticals

1- somewhat girly- i like girls that are somewhat girly, like to shop, love cute pets, etc. this puzzles my friends quite a bit, because most of them can't stand this type of girl, but what can I say. it's not critical though, as i've fallen hard for girls that were quite tomboyish and athletic (rock climbimg, played lacrosse, etc).

2-decent music taste- this is actually semi important. i'm not asking you to have exactly the same music taste as me, i don't know hardly anyone who does, but if your cd collection consists of every backstreet boy, nsync, and britney spears cd, then that's going to bug me.

3-long hair- i don't think short hair is attractive on girls. i've never seen a girl who i thought would look better if her hair were shorter. simple as that.

4-intelligent - this goes along somewhat with the conversation bit, but if i can talk to a girl about various topics in physics(which is what I study) and have her keep pace with me fairly well, that is a BIG plus

5-dirty blonde hair-this one is pretty minor, but i just love that dark blonde/light brown in between sortof hair color.

these are BAD

1-heavy partyer- if you go out and get hammered every night, you and i won't work, simple as that

2-lots of piercings/tattooes- pierced ears is fine, a stud in the nose is OKAY if it's subtle, small tattooes are okay as long as there aren't many, but beyond that is a no-no

3-dirty mouth- i don't like it when girls swear frequently. i don't do it much, and it gets annoying if girls do. it's not an attractive quality to me

4-all she wants to do is dance - i know girls usually like to dance, i don't but ill do it anyway on occasion. If a girl just looooves to dance all the time it gets sortof annoying to me. in a way this falls into the idea of having the same interests, but this one is quite particular for me

Anyway, probably sounds quite specific. I'm really not as picky as this sounds like, but this is about everything I could think of.

:lol
 
My standards:

- she must like pina coladas

- she must like getting caught in the rain

- she should not be into yoga

- she must have at least half a brain

- she must like making love at midnight in the dunes of the cape

.....
Oh shit, where am I??



On a serious note, I think I have high standards, but I think I found her. It's a lot easier to find a perfectly compatible mate if you've known each other over the years growing up. :)
 
I'm a pretty simple guy. All I ask for is:

- A girl with no emotional baggage.

- No substance addiction (I can overlook caffeine).

- A head on her shoulders.

- A high level of tolerance (to put up with me)

- Some female curves are always nice too.

You need to slow down and take a look at your life. Are you sure this is what you want? Don't you think you could think this through a little more?

Call me.
 
Wow, some of these standards... saying you have high standards can be a compliment, but some of you aren't ever going to be happy... here's my list:

1. Active lifestyle. Not massively so, but enough to stay reasonably healthy and fit so we can do active things together.

2. Not a prude. Into casual drug use, big drinking and nights out. I want to go out with somebody who's my friend, not my mother.

3. Happy outlook, but wth a pinch of the cynic in here. Miersable fools get my goat. But you need that dark side for the laughs. Right?

4. Looks I'm attracted to. Doesn't have to be a supermodel, but she has to click my buttons.

5. Not an idiot. Example: the other day a friend of a friend had a baby. I jokingly said that she should get some Bach for the baby to helps it's mental growth. After explaining who Bach was, she wrinkled up her nose and exclaimed 'He's not listening to stuff like that.' I don't want this.

I was having a conversation with this friend of mine and she was telling me that there's absolutely no reason for me to have not "settled in" yet because i'm 25, got my own condo and car and i'm "in shape" (so apparently that's all it takes? wow hehe). She then argued that I, apparently, have too high of standards when it comes to women and then i get bored too quickly and basically, that's my problem.
Click to expand...

There's absolutely nothing wrong with being 25 and not "settled in" -- take your time. Being 25 and not having in so much as looked a girl in the eye and had a genuine conversation like much of GAF seems to have issues with, well, that's a different story. As for standards, I don't really have any. Like obscenity, I'll know it when I see it.

And good god, you f*cks are picky.
