What Women Want

Ha!

Not that. Well not in this thread (not yet, anyway).

Found this treatise written by a student on Craig's List.

Women aren't attracted to men.

Date: 2007-10-18, 7:04PM EDT

Women are not actually attracted to men. There is a vague idea of what a man is physically, and some are better than others aesthetically speaking, but the purely physical appearance of a man is almost inconsequential unless he is horribly ugly or outrageously attractive.

Women are attracted to status, money, how much a man smiles and laughs, how many friends and resources a man has, how full a man's life is--how many "cool," "exciting" and prestigious things he is doing or connected to.

They are interested in how other people view him--how many people want to be around him, how other people interact with him and whether their interactions convey that he is special and amazing. They want him to be extremely outgoing and aggressive, they want him to demonstrate his status over other people by dominating them in various non-violent ways.

A woman's attraction to a man is a function of her jealousy at the thought of another woman having that man. She doesn't care who he actually is or EXACTLY what he looks like physically, she only cares about the VALUE of the life he has constructed around himself.

A woman basically is a greedy materialistic prostitute. Although that sounds vulgar, it's true. She trades her physical self to buy into the success a man has created for himself.

As a man, I fall in love with how a woman is physically. I fall in love with simple parts of a woman. Like the way her hair falls around her face, the line of her neck, her shoulders. They way her ears might peek from her hair. Her eyelashes. The size and shape of her hands, her fingernails. The way she walks, the way she looks when she is tired or annoyed, the sound she makes when she sneezes, coughs, or cries. The way she sits in a chair. The way she breathes while experiencing different emotions. The way her lips move. A million little things.

Sure, a huge part of my attraction is mental, but the powerful seed of love that builds within me and crystallizes is based greatly on visual things that set off torrents of emotion and need.

It seems to me that women almost cannot think for themselves. Their estimates of worth are based on other peoples' estimates of worth. They don't really find an object beautiful on their own. The object becomes beautiful when other people let her know that it is beautiful.

I'm completely unable to reconcile the differences between men and women. It seems like success with women is equal to spending half of your life working to create a giant illusion, something vastly tiring and annoying, while sacrificing your own true self and your own interests. We construct our lives around nest-building. We're like male birds building nests and showing them off to attract mates. It's pathetic. Everything we do is to get women. It is a fucking shit deal.

Someone needs to invent a drug which has no hormonal imbalance side-effects but is able to erase a man's sex drive and attraction to women. It would increase productivity rates to incredible heights. I'd be free and happy. I'd feel complete. I'd be able to concentrate on my biochemistry studying.

best of craigslist : Women aren't attracted to men.

Hey! Try living in Victoria! Hopeless!

That guy is either reading all the signals wrong or meeting the wrong girls. Sounds like his past g/fs have been straight from the cast of 'Clueless' or 'Beverly Hills 90210', and while girls like that do exist, they're hardly representative of women on the whole.

Reading his essay, as a woman, there was only one point that he made, that I honestly agreed with (for myself, I don't think it's necessarily true for other women) and that was:

the purely physical appearance of a man is almost inconsequential unless he is horribly ugly or outrageously attractive.

The rest I kept finding myself mentally repeating "Bollocks!" to.

Well, thank God for that!

Fess up. You know you're really a marshmallow charmer when it comes to the ladies.

**Hootad Binky** · 12-12-2007, 01:49 AM

^ Turning on the ol' charm, I see

**Cujo** · 12-12-2007, 08:53 AM

Sounds like sour grapes from a loser who can't get laid. (the OP)

**GooMaiRoo** · 12-12-2007, 10:21 AM

I'm thinking of all the times in my life when I've described a male friend of mine to a single female and measured her interest. If I use the term 'nice guy', it's the kiss of death and the woman will lose all interest. If I say he's 'drop dead handsome', there may be some interest. But if I throw out one word, just one word to describe my male friend, it's guaranteed that the female will show intense interest and want to get hooked up. I've found this to be true in just about every instance with women of every station. The magic word which piques their interest is 'millionaire'. Simply based on personal experience, the original post contains a lot of truth.

Yeah, but in the case of the OP, he is obviously not getting any!
