Women tell us that their ideal man is loyal and solid,spiritual, good-humored, romantic, caring and sensitive, and
committed to family values. But if women truly select such men, why are caring, romantic-minded men routinely
dumped for apparent losers and showboat guys who couldn’t care less about the prized women they’re dating?
Every man, of every race, color, creed, height, and financial status, has the same dream: There is a special
person out there. She is beautiful and good, the kind of person who inspires you to your very best, so you can fight
all the battles, right all the wrongs. It’s destiny. There’s a magical moment when you know that she is for you, and you
for her. And then you live happily ever after, with a batch of kids and a house like a small patch of heaven.
Reality, however, is profoundly different from romantic fantasy. Today there are any number of obstacles
standing between you and the woman you are interested in.
There are advantages and disadvantages to every possible factor: appearance, personality, race, height, popularity,
financial status, social status. The list goes on and on with factors people never state openly.(Most of these factors are subconscious)
Have you ever gotten up enough nerve to call or talk to a beautiful, interesting woman only to be completely
rejected for an unknown reason?
It’s not about confidence. Consider one study on race.
Three people-- a white man, an Asian woman, and a Japanese man were seeking romance in Tokyo, so they
posted personal ads seeking romance in the Tokyo Classified Ads, Japan’s largest free circulation publication. Within a
few weeks, the Asian woman received close to two hundred replies to her personal ad, from men of all races. The white
man received about 100 replies from interested Japanese women. The Japanese man received only two replies, both
from men who had mistaken his name for a woman’s name.
So much for the Gaijin Theory !
Another study was done on height. There was an American TV special where a news crew performed a kind of
poll to see how women might view height as a romantic factor. The news crew lined up about 10 men of varying
height, and they put them behind a double mirror, where they could be viewed by a parade of passing women. Because of
the double mirror, the men could see only reflections of themselves, while the women could see each of the men
clearly.
The news crew gave the women false information about each man behind the glass. For example, they told the
women that certain men were doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, writers, and had various occupations. They
even gave the women false personality profiles of the men.
For example, they pretended one man was a good cook who loved kids and enjoyed gardening, while another loved
karate, hated kids, and ate Chinese food a lot.
Then the news crew polled the women. They asked
the women which of the men they would be interested in as possible boyfriends. The results of their poll showed that in
America, the men under 167 cm (i.e. 5 ft. 6 inches) were never chosen as boyfriends, even if they were portrayed as
millionaires with outstanding personalities.(I'm a modest 5 ft 9 inches, i.e I'm five feet tall and nine inches long)
Even when a woman says that she consciouly doesn't have such criteria , subconsciously she will.Some women like bad boys, some like married men, some like them black , some hate black , some are into gays , and some daddy's little girls are looking for a surrogate father figure.
I bet the same goes for men too.
Sadly, there’s an old theory that comes to mind: the more advanced the information technology, the more openly
short height in men and obesity in women are detested.
hmmm... I can't weep. but the last sentence makes the whole thing sounds like a precipiece. why you do that? *sigh*
