Defining the perfect man –part 2

Defining the perfect man –part 2

By May Rostom: 

For years, men have been wondering what women want. Well women themselves apparently don't quite know and when asked the question "what do you look for in a guy" a long pause is often the answer.

But those who answered pinpointed a couple of character traits that they consider important.

As I conducted my survey I discovered how peer pressure found its way in this matter. In the beginning one girl would say I want him to be clever, good looking and caring.

Before she could even finish her 5 chosen traits she is interrupted by her girlfriend saying something that goes like "good looking?

You're so shallow "or "clever? You want him to be smarter than you are so that he can manipulate everything you say" and so this girl starts changing her 5 choices.

Secondly I discovered how some of the girls answered model answers as if they were on "mann sa-yarbah el million".

Then there were a few who were actually describing their current partner and that wasn’t pleasing to hear either.

So I decided to conduct that survey on total strangers and so I started to send private messages via MSN and Facebook and as I expected, I got no response (some people actually thought I was hitting on them).

This is the reason we wrote "defining the perfect man –part 1" to give our readers a chance to tell us what they think. Here's what we found out starting from the least common to the most common:

- Employed (I can't believe this is actually someone's criterion, get a job hobo's!)

- Someone my mother would like (ha-ha good luck with that)

- A man that knows what he wants (no-one knows what they want, not even you)

- Tall (girls are actually starting to ask for specifications, just like buying a car)

- Someone who would kill for me (you really wanna be in the same house with a murderer?)

- Someone who would die for me (suicidal you mean?)

- Never hurts a woman (that’s just sad)

- Good kisser and dancer with good physique (too much info, starting to get mental images!)

- 6 girls stated that they would like their PERFECT man to be clean (what the hell is that? I blame men for it!)

- 6 girls said that they'd like their man to be committed to his values and morals

- 5 girls hoped he would be flirty (just with them of course, which is unrealistic because once a flirt ALWAYS a flirt)

- Modest and simple (7 girls only and I'm actually surprised to see that modesty isn’t important to some people)

- Then there were "the dreamers", the few girls who drifted away to LA-LA land and compared Arab men to fictitious characters like Mr. Darcy from" Pride and Prejudice", DR. shepherd from" Grey's Anatomy ", Edward Cullen from" Twilight" and Zac Effron from "High School Musical"
