First, looks and then personality for many. Really depends on the age of the woman.

Do you remember the song " Try A Little Tenderness"? Nothing beats tenderness in a relationship.

what I look for in a man is his shoes. I may be old fashioned but I still believe shoes make the man.

I agree. That's the first thing I noticed about Obama.

well a real man wears monkey sox under his leggings or occasional western ****-kicker boots.

i agree with you on hair. The one physical constant for me is that a man has to have hair. A smooth chest looks too immature. The hair was one of the things that made Sean Connery hot.

Yeah - and now they're tweezing/waxing their eyebrows and getting manicures and pedicures! What the heck? Not to put too blunt a point on it, but I'd take a small penis any day over hairless limbs and chest, tweezed eyebrows and a manicure.

@Miller,

I do not know, miller, whether you are male or female but for most women, concern for a man's looks extends as far as excluding those features that scream no (hairless chests, facial moles or gaps between the teeth, for example) and the inclusion of one or two musts (body hair for me . . . and for aidan).

Grooming, to me, is important. Whether you want to list that as a personality trait or under the general category of looks is fine because grooming works under both.

At 63, I find a great many men of the age I would consider are slobs.

Ah! A chuckle to accompany my morning coffee! I like a man who looks like a man. A little thrill, a frisson (I feel snobby this morning) goes through me when I see a man's hairy arms or little curls rising from the open neck of his shirt.

As for eyebrows, I can see taming them when they approach the Gandalf level (Andy Rooney is a more accessible example for some), but, plucking them???!!! There is an obviously gay man who teaches where I do who has neatly plucked eyebrows. While I am not a -- hope this doesn't offend anyone -- a "fag hag," whenever I see him, I wonder if he has a second career as a female impersonator.

According to a recent scientific study, it all depends on whether a woman is PMSing. If she's not PMSing, she'll prefer a man with rugged, masculine features.

If she is PMSing, she prefers a man doused in petrol and set on fire, with scissors stuck in his eye and a cricket stump shoved up his backside.

Well POM - you just gave me my laugh for the day with my after dinner mint (we just got home from taking my son out for his birthday dinner - he has to 'work' on Thursday- which is actual birthday - I told my daughter I think he just doesn't want to invite us to his real 'party'. Fair enough...)

But yeah - I never thought of the female impersonator aspect. You may be on to something. I have a student who obviously plucks his eyebrows- and that's in prison! He's a lovely, lovely guy and very masculine except for that one thing. It's fascinating. I haven't been able to figure it out, but you just gave me a new avenue to follow up on. Laughing

The footballers wags give the lie to all these conceits and affectations. It's the money and proximity to fame that really turns girls on. Which is perfectly natural and according to basic evolutionary principles. What use are the characteristics mentioned on here if a guy has no dough and no contacts. I've seen baldy, bandy-legged, short-arses with moles on their faces, gaps in their yellowing teeth and hairless chests, arms and legs dangling the most delectable doxies on their knobbly knees.

What rich, famous women want is quite something else entirely. An ex-officer on the QE2 explained all that to me once but as there are unlikely to be any such ladies on A2K there would be no point in going into it.

But adoring someone is certainly better than being adored. Being adored is a nuisance. You'll discover, Dorian, that women treat us just as humanity treats its gods. They worship us and keep bothering us to do something for them.

I saw that same study two or three years ago. What about post menopausal women?

One of my colleagues, who is 60 and single, told me that she has met a couple of men who are simply looking for someone to have dinner with when they are lonely.

Well, if there is a man out there whose politics are like mine, who reads interesting books, who enjoys indie and foreign movies, and likes the same music I like, I wouldn't mind having a companion for dinner once a month. However, under those circumstances, I would not want sex or even chaste pecks on the cheek.

This particular woman is Italian and has an Italian's sense of extended family. She would prefer a man with a grown child or two, who would be interested in family doings and in taking two or three trips during the year.

I'm going to ask him. He won't mind - he'll tell me. He's a very down to earth, nice guy with exquisitely arched and obviously tweezed brows.

Could be Miller. You're onto something there.

@Miller,

The guys aren't asking the women to cook for them and most men of that age want to "go dutch." They just want someone to sit opposite them. Whether that is as a beard or as arm candy, who knows.
